(-Connie Mack, -veteran leader .of , the Philadelphia Athletics -who star tled baseball way back ia 1914 by breaking up-his -famous "3100,-. 000 iafleld,'? tonight went even - further by selling pitchers Lefty Grove and "Rube" Walberg and Inflelder M. Bishop to the Boston ' Red Sox, Mickey Cochrane to the Detroit Tigers; and pitcher George Earnshaw to fthe Chicago -White .-Sox ' vrv "". ' The' deals, -inTolTing an esti mated cash outlay of ? 3300,000, wereTumored for the past' month, but not announced until tonight at the' annual meeting of the ma- jor leagues in Chicago, - l Financial pressure, forced by j Philadelphia bankers, was assign ed , as the reason - for the sales, some of. the most; important'-ia the history, of basebaiL The deals . n but complete a break-up of the. famous Athletic team that won -the world's championship in 1929 and '30. Only Jimmie JFoxx, cham pion batsman and home run king of the majors, remains of the out standing baseball troupe. . Mack, outwardly 8ad as he an nounced -the deals, refused to re Teal the cash terms, but announ ced that the Athletics had obtain ed Harold Warstler, short stop, and pitcher Bob Kline from the Red Sox and catcher Charlie Ber ry from the White Sox. Detroit gave Up catcher Johnny Pasek. obtained last summer by the Tig ers from Beaumont of the Texas league, but he. In turn, was sent to the: White Sox. who wanted a catcher to make up for . the loss of Berry. ' Cochrane, obtained., for a re ported cash sum of $100,000, will manage the Tigers in 1934 as a playing pilot, it was officially an nounced after his' acquisition was revealed. " In the absence of a definite-announcement, only reliable reports could be gained on the cash in volved in the expected but import ant 'deals, that undoubtedly will ' inject new life and hope in the heretofore top - heavy American league race. They were that the Tigers gave $100,000 for Cochrane, who has been at the H meetings here; that the Red Sox handed over 3125, 000 in. a straight cash deal for Grove and Warstler and Kline along with $50,000 for Walberg and Bishop; and that the White Sox fpave $25,000 in cash and catcher Berry for Earnshaw.

' J ' 'Z? IT is one of the truisms of grid iron lore that the backs get the limelight, while the unsung linemen get the bumps. When a halfback' carries the pigskin for a long gain, the plaudits of the mob echo in his ears; but rarely are there any cheers for the hard-working fellows who opened up the holes in the opposing line for him to get tbough. The past football season pro duced a wealth of notable linemen who performed their gruelling tasks in truly brilliant fashion. Probably the most outstanding line performer on the gridiron this year wa Bill Corbus. Stanford's MILL CITY US DEFEAT ESTtCl MILL CITY, Dec. 12. The Mill City basketball team returned to Mill City Saturday from Estacada where they had been to play the high school team of that city Fri day night.

This pink-cheeked youngster gained all-American honors in 1932, and this year was an almost unani mous choice for the guard post' on that mythical eleven. Another great lineman is Fred die Crawford of Duke. This great tackle was called by Wallace Wade "the best lineman 1 have ever seen."

The fight game, in fact, has -fallen on evil days, says the ex-champion. Barney Ross is the only real standout in any division. And of course, the . muddled heavyweight sit nation is the canse for the general slump. Jack sighs for the gaod old days when fighters fought and champions were champions until they were counted out. Decision victories and the rais ing of numerous "paper cham pions' by various boxing asso ciations have changed all that. Nevertheless Jack looks cheer ful and fit. Ha still works out every day. He's having a good time tossing wrestlers around. Not so formidable looking as you might expecte of an ex-champion, bearing few marks of his ring battles, he leaves you to visual ize his great fighting heart, the determination and courage that drover lim to keep working to ward the top, to realize that he achieved, and still occupies la the general opinion of the dyed-in-the-wool fan, the topmost peak In the realm of "the manly art of self defense." .-Mr, -- " Reasons for - his continued popularity are not, difficult to .find.

When the ex-world champion set out to enforce law and order, he was highly convinc ing.
