"He's one of those '60-mlnute players' you don't often get on team. He deserved to make more all-ooast teams than he did. Watch for some sen sational playing by Hughes next fall." Asked what Oregon' chances were against Louisiana State college to morrow, he declared they should be good If the flu epidemic reports are not true. Wlshard and Butch Morse, first team ends, are reported HI from the disease while en route to Baton Rouge. It looks like some more of the luck that robbed Calllson of men like Ml kulak, Morgan and Kostka In crucial games the past season. . By EDWAftD J. NEII, Associated Pretw Sports Writer. NEW YOFiX, Deo. 16-iAP) The wildest trading season In all base ball history has come down to Its climax with the close of the annual major league meetings, but the end of a mighty effort to stir Interest In 1933 with new faces In new places Is-by no means at hand. Loath to go home after three days of wholesale barter, a half dozen mag nates of the National and American leagues still haunted the lobbies of the hotels where the tread of aching feet had mingled with the bid, call and asked prices on choice and medi ocre talent. Olant Shift Continues. BUI Terry, young manager of the New York Giants and ringleader In the National league ahakeup, still was not content with disposing of almost half his athletes and went to work anew on the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston Braves In a three- cornered swap. This shift Involved Catcher Shanty Hogan, who would go back to his first major league love, the Braves, for cash and perhaps a player who could be added to Terry's bid to Brooklyn for Dazxy Vanoe, once the right handed pitching marvel of the league. Involved In this same transaction was Terry's offer of substitute First Baseman Sam Leslie for Johnny Fred erick. Brooklyn outfielder. Pending definite decision on this, Brooklyn has virtually closed with Joe Judge for his first base services next sea son. Judge has the permission of the Washington Senators to make a deal for himself with the Dodgers only. Cronln Gets Star Pair. Judge Emll Fuchs and Bill McKech nle of the Braves, waited to hear about the purchase of Hogan, and Joe Cronln, American league counterpart of Bill Terry In free-handed dealing, expected an answer from Cleveland on a proposition to swap catcnore, Roy Spencer for Luke Sewell. Completion ot the final deal laat night. In which the Irrepressible Cro nln, backed by the master-minding of the "Old Fox." Clark Orlfflth, nabbed Jack Russell, right hand pitcher, and Bruce Connatser, substitute first baseman, from Cleveland in exchange for the slugging rookie first sacker, Harley Boss, from Chattanooga, left only the world champion Yankees, of all the 16 major league clubs, with out a single deal completed since the closing of the 1032 season. In that short time. 44 major league players have changed berths, an aver age of 13 per cent of the entire play ing strength of the two leagues on the basis of a 23-player limit for each club. Many Minors Bought. Jn addition to this unprecedented turnover, eight minor league players have figured In deals. . The Boston Braves purchased Al Wright and Dick Oyselman from the Missions for $60, 000 and Bill Walters, a third baseman. The Cincinnati Reds bought Clarence Blair, former Cub tnflelder, from Los Angeles, and Irving Plummer, out fielder, from Wllkes-Bsrre. The Giants took Pitcher Bill Shores from Port land for cash and Sam Olbson. and shortstop John Ryan from Buffalo for Inflelder Eddie Marshall. Brook lyn bought Linus Prey, a shortstop, from Nashville for Earl Mattlngly, a pitcher, and cash, for 1934 delivery. The Senators dealt Harley Boss to Cleveland. The Giants, although Terry tore the team apart, seem to have gained little, while the experts agree that Washington. In three deals has gained tremendously in the pitching ftaff and the outfield. ' The Senators, prims favorites now to battle the Yankees to a standstill next season, gathered In two of the American league's ranking southpaws. Earl Whltehill from Detroit, and Wally Stewart from St. Louis, and added new right hand strength In Jack Russell from Cleveland to team with Alvln Crowder and Monte Weaver. A tremendous punch has been added to the Washington outfield with the return of the old favorite, "Goose" Goal In. from St. Louis, along with Red Schulte, a capable gardener. TALENT FORFEITS Following his failure to settle an argument over a ruling. Referee George Harrington awarded the Tal ent blgh-Medford Junior hl?h bas ketball, game to the local boys on a forfeit. The score officially was 1-0, although Coach Henderson's men were ahead, 15-0, when It was called. The argument arose when Harrlng ton called a foul on a Medford man and held up two fingers to Indicate the man. Coach Southwlok of Talent declared he meant two foul ahote. and withdrew his team from the floor when given only on. In a preliminary game the Junior high midgets trimmed the Jackson ville midgets, 33-20. Zszuo Maruyama and Don Krous played outstanding games for the winners Chrlstmu Seals work the year round.
