AGREE ON USE OF PELLET Night Games Also in Order Coming Season Few Trades Noted in Midwin ter Session of Magnates BOWLING By flnyle Talbot NEW YORK, Dec. 15. ( AP) Hsv. inn adopted a uniform ball, finally admitted the Inevitability of night baseball and accomplished some acattercd trades, the big league mag nauts wind up their midwinter gob- feat today in a Joint appearance be lore Commissioner Kcncsaw Moun tain LandLs. Assuming that deals were the da Ign of many of the attendants this weeks confab, the American league saved Itaelf from a virtual shutout last night In a midnight maneuver which sent Ben Chapman Boston's hard-hitting outfielder, V Cleveland for Pitcher Dennis dale house and Bookie Inflelder Tommy Jrwln. No cash was Involved. Chapman hit .340 last season, auf flclcnt to rank him among the load ers even In the haxd-hlttlng Ameri can league. But ha will be 30 years old come Chrlstmaa day and has pent nine yeara In the big show. Gatehouse came up to Cleveland five years ago as a promising right hander. He la still promising. Last year he won 7 and lost 8 In 30 tarts which leaves him safe for the Had Box U he hea a payoff In his system. Beyond this transaction, the own ars can't enow Landts, the old dic tator of the dugouts, much they have done toward shaving the embarasslng auperlorlty of the New York Yan kees. Although not admitting much, thla must have been an aim of the other owners. Yet at thla scml-flnal accounting, about all they have done Is compro mise on a uniform ball. This will be viewed aa an effort to stem the Yan kees' power, because the raised acorns were found last acaaon to give tho National league pltchera better con trol and to lend wider aweep to their curves. However, demonstrations have proved the ball travola Just aa for aa the old lively ball when hit solidly. Owner Clara Orlfrith of Washing ton apparently has ahoved through an amendment to the ruler that will help umi of the pitchers. It pro vtdrs that the hurlcr need have only one foot on the rubbor at the start of his wind-up, The other foot (the left one In the case of a right-hand butler) may be well back. Thla gives the pitcher a longer aweep with his Ireo leg aa drlff, an old pitcher him self, dfmonatrated. Night baseball broke down, the final barrier when the Amerloan league granted Cleveland and Phil adelphia permission to play seven nocturnal gamca each season. The National league accepted tha lights two years ago, and It had to come to the American. Commercial leaguers bowled at the Medford alleys last night, with Ward's Riverside taking three out of four points from Plche Sports. Bauer Lum ber company . beating Montgomery Ward, 8 to 1; and CCO headquarters measuring Lewis Super Service by .tho same count.

In the actual fires of competition, a loose, lanky six-foot one-Inch aoph mora named Fred Dennetts has all tho earmarks of being Medford high school's basketball "find" of tha year. Tiger Coach Ruaa Acheaon la find ing It hard to keep his enthusiasm for the youngater within normal bounds. "He looks like a natural, al right," tha mentor aald yesterday af ternoon after the locals finished a practice game with Rlney Cook's Phoenix high quintet. "And. the funny port of It Is, ha hasn't played any basketball for three yeara. He moved from here to Btigene after he finished grade school threo years ago. and until he came back to Medford this fall he hardly had a baaketball In his handa. Nevertheless, he looks right now like an experienced high school player." Oannette. with Rtigene Miller, Ray Croahy, Walt Urease, Don Montelth. Bob Newland, Bill Capias, Verne Johnston.

The Tlgera displayed some sweet liall-hanclllnK and floor work, al though their abllltr to drop In baa kcta from scoring position was far from perfect Miller, elongated Jun ior, looks like he haa Improved 00 per cent over last season, and New land and Crosby, other members of last year's "flaming sophmorea." are cutting fancier capers than ever.

I understand that big -shots In the American league have done away with the "live" ball next season. Now, Santa Claus, I have been a good boy all year and have not been as mean to pltchera aa 1 could have been. For that reason, would appreciate It If you could see your way clear to deposit a bomb In the stockings of the guys who voted the National league's "dead" ball into our circuit, ff that Is Impossible, please bring ma handful of short left field fences, which I can Install In the American league cities. A good little first baseman, HANK OREENBERO Detroit, Michigan, Dear Santa Glaus: Pleaae bring me a blocking quar terback to take the place of Bill Caples. and a running left halfback to make me forget Jack Bowman. Also, If you are long on guards. I could use a 180-pounder who can block. It w.iuld not hurt my feelings any. Santa Claus, If you could scrape up a couple of ends to replace Mon- elth and Vorbirk. I have been a good boy this year: in feet, too good to Hood River and Enireka. I promise to be a model child next year If you answer thla letter. Sincerely. WILI.TR BOWERMAIN. Coach Medford, Oregon. Dear Santa Claus: Moat of all. Santa Claus, I would like aome fellows to fight. I seem to have run clear out of opponents, and unlens something Is done at once I might have to lay nway my gloves for good. That would be awful. If you haven't any good welterweights or lightweights you can spare, you could bring me about 60 pounds of rieah. If I weighed IW more pounds I could fight tha heavyweights, and kntvk them kicking.
