The High Schoolers were out :ihead ill, tlie way in the first half nlthougn sften an exciting battle by the team o f ; 'th e * alumni-consisting of players ittduating since 1920. Tlie score at Lit tiifte found the Auburn squad of t»a \meir- out In the lead by 2T to IS iffcer a tough see-saw battle with the lint alumni aggregation. 7-The fireworks opened in the second half, i however, when the Maroons showed their true form and really found themselvee working rlghUy for tbe first time this year. This was igainst a splendid aggregation of ex perienced courtsters, which included three former captains and many stars of other years. Realizing their opponents' worth and danger, the Auburn High tossers .went-to work with a system and came out with a clean-cut victory, well won and hard earned. All Auburn Players Score. It Is a significant fact that every Auburn player scored at least two points, showing to all that team-work mlist have ■ been present and that passes from team-mates meant a lot In the scoring of the evening. Sub- orskl was high scorer with 1 1 points, with Pete McCartin and Eddie Rogers second with 7 points each. For tlie graduates, Les Smith and Gus HaeiT- ner were leading, G and 5 points, re- <l*ctlvely. The Alumni were fairly well organ ized but couldn’t seem to get started against the liard-flglitlng varsity team which had the ball a great deal and made good on most of its offensive drives. In foul-shooting also the Ma roons showed marked Improvement, tallying 13 of 2.3 tried.

(B y Brian Bell, Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, Dec. 2G.— UP )—One of tlio big baseball upheavals of 1 0 2 0 seem s about lo take place at a corner or. tne infield—third baso. On the 10 m a j o r league club only three third f-aekers are fixtures for the next cam* pais^n. ■Fred Lludstrow of the Giants, P in k y Whitney of the Phillies and W illie Kamm of the White Sox will be re-elected without opposition. Llnd- stro m is a terrific hitter and fielding iftnius, Whitney was tho best young b a ll player tho Phillies have found in y e a r s and Kamm has shown that he is worth all tho Sox paid San Fran cisco for him in 1922. T h e St. Louis Cardinals are com m itted to a plan to move Fmnkie F r is c h from second base to third and Pittsburgh is understood to have a prospect under advisement by which P i e Traynor would bo transferred fro m lliird to short The Pirates’ deci sion probably will depend on the per formances of Stroner, a third base m a n purchased ‘ from Wichita Tbe youngster, In the Western League, m a d e 41 home runs, ten triples and -12 doubles, finishing with a batting aver a g e of 307. If he can lilt half as njiiny home runs in the National T-ensjue ho may get the third baso as signment. Joe Tripp, who finished the season a t third base for Cincinnati, seems to h a v e llie call for the regular job nnd ^Brooklyn probably will start with \Walter Gilbert, who-was stationed nt tl'ird In tlio latter stages of the 1028 w a r . With Glenn W'rlght to play shortstop Dave Bancroft may become a third bnseman to further complicate tlie situation in tlio nest of robins. I^ester Bell, who played third In all th e games the Braves engaged ln last season, mny take off where he left off, Bowls for Gold. 'P e te Nolan, one*of the best bowlers of Auburn, won the special prize of $ 1 0 in gold for the bowler rolling the high total for three successive games in individual tournament which was concluded a t tho Imperial Alleys at midnight Christmas Eve. Pete shot the high total of 03 with games of 245, 258 and an even 200. Ben Montgomery won the $7.50 box of candy for tho secret scoro of tho tourney. The score ’was 52S and Ben hit the sticks for 527. Tho competition was a big success. Hornsby Needs One More Year To Equal Waper’s Batting Mark although almost every tlmo a rum or Is blown forth by the trade winds, Bell's name is mentioned. Tlio third base situation on tlio world’s champion Yankees rem a ins to bo clarified. Dugan lias'gone nnd closo observers doubt that Manager Miller Huggins expects to transfer Mark Koenig from short to third or turn tho job over to the rather Immature Jule Wera. Talk persists that New York nnd Washington will make a trade. Tho basis for baseball business would seem to be available. Washington has two third sackers, Osslo Bluege and /Juddy Myer, recently procured from Boston, while New York ha« nono at tho moment- Detroit may have to make a trade for third basemnn unless Manager Bucky H a rris, a lifelong second sack- er, nttempts to lenrn new tricks. Marty McManus and Chick 'Galloway aro available but neither seems tagged to get the call regularly. Tho Red Sox got two Infielders. Bob Reeves and Grant Glllls, from Wash ington for Myer and one may take his place at third. The place seems open on the Browns’ Infield and Cleveland Is reported about to shift Joe Sewell with Jackie Tiivener, t h e ; -former Tiger, taking the plnce a t short. The Athletics split tIS> job three ways in 1928. with Hnle, Dykes and Fox performing, nnd the same pro gress may bo followed In 1029. Oscar Gardner Dies Minneapolis', Minn., Dec. 26.— (JP )— O.tcnr Gardner, known 30 yenrs ago ns \The Omaha Kid\ when he w as a con tender fo r the bantamweight nnd featherweight championships died yes terday after lingering Illness. He par ticipated in 5-17 ring bnttles. His widow and two children reside In Portland, Ore. Official batting records of the Na tional League for 102S show th a t 251 players took pnrt in championship games. Of this number 201 players engaged in 10 games or more; 47 took part in less. Rogers Hornsby of Boston won the batting championship with a percent age of .387. It is tho seventh time that he has led tho league, his previ ous triumphs having been achieved in tho six years from 1020 to 1025, Inclu sive. Hornsby needs one more year of supremacy to - equal tho league record set by Ilans Wagner, who won the battling championship eight times while with tho Pittsburgh club. Hornsby, like Wagner, is a rlght- linnded batter. Lloyd Waner, Pittsburgh, went to bat the most times, 050, and also se cured tho most one-bnso hits, 180 Paul Waner, Pittsburgh, tallied the most runs, 1 * 1 2 , nnd made the most two-baso hits, GO. Fred Lindstrom, New York, led ln making base hits, with a total of 231. Janies Bottomley, St. Louis, had the most total bases on lilts, 3G2, the most triples, 20, and, with Lewis Wilson, Chicago, tied for homo run leadership, each having 31. Harold Traynor, Pittsburgh, was the leader In sacrifice hits, with 42. Haz- en Cuyler, Chicago, won baso stealing honors with 37 stolen bases. Forty- seven players lilt for .300 or better, two less tlinn In 1027. Seven \players took p a r t in all their club’s games: Adelphin Bissonette, Brooklyn, who was in 155 games; Taylor Douthit, St. Louis, 154 games; Hugh Chitz, Cincinnati, 153 games; Lester Boll, Boston, 153 games; La fayette F. Thompson, Philadelphia, 152 games; and Paul and Lloyd Wan er, Pittsburgh,' 152 games . Edward ‘ Brown, Boston, was benched on June S, thereby bringing to a close a streak of CIS consecutive games Is which the outfielder had ap peared. This Is a new National League record, breaking tho record of 533 games held by F red Luderus, for mer Philadelphia player. Brown start ed his streak on .June 5, 1024, as a member of the Brooklyn team. ___ - By JACK SORDS Sporti Cartooni*t-Writer for Cenlr«I Prcn F OR the first time in 20 years an American-llrcd horse w i l l partici pate in a gold cup event in England when Reigh Count, M rs.
