MANAGERS LOOK FOR IMPROVED TALENT AS OWNERS' MEET NEARS Extensive Trading Is Expected at Big League Conference to Be Held Soon. By Fred A. Huber With the annual meeting of the owners of the American and Na- tional League baseball clubs just around the corner, at least three new managers w:i -:e out to pro- cure some better talent for the 1932, season. Max Carey, longtime coach of the Brooklyn Robins, has finally taken over the reins, Lew Fonseca, veter- an outfielder is piloting the Chi- cago White Sox and George Gib- son has been named mentor of the Oitt& urgh Pirates in place of Jewel Ens. The newest announcement in the baseball world was the re-signing of Stanley 'B u c k y' Harris as m a n- ager of the De- troit ball club. Harris, who pilot- ed his team to p e n n a n t at Washington, has had very l i ttl1e success with the T i ge r s in t oe three year she has managed, them. A few tradesi I4ATZRIS have already been consumated, Andy High, di- minutive thi r d baeman being ,traded to Cincinnati by the pen- nant winning St. Louis Cardinals for Nick Cullop a young outfielder who was immediately turned over to the Cardinal farm at Columbus. Milton taston, veteran right handpitcher, who has served with New York, St. Louis, Washington and Boston in the American League will wear his fifth junior circuit uniform next year. He has been traded to the Chicago team for Bob Weiland, a young south- paw. Gaston has never been with a club at the height of its winning power, always managing to pile up a good record with second division clubs, however. The White Sox also obtained Sad Sam Jones, veteran twirler and Minter Hayes a youthful utility in- fielder from the Washington Sena- tors for Johnny Kerr, scrappy sec- ond sacker and Carl Reynolds, fleet- footed outfielder. Many deals are bound to be made when the club moguls gather in the near future. Hack Wilson, stormy outfielder of the Chicago Cubs is almost certain to be on auc- tion block, while it is apparent that Fonseca is trying valiently to re- model the lowly White Sox. The Cleveland Indians have a gap or two to be filled and the Detroit Tigers could bolster almost any position without hurting the team a bit. In the National League Dan How- ley must face the task of procur- ing enough young blood to pull a poor eighth place team to a much higher position in 1932 or retire from the managership of the Red- legs. Gibson, at Pittsburgh faces a like rebuilding campaign. while Bill McKechnie is greatly cheered up at Boston by the purchasing of Art Shires, slugging first baseman from Milwaukee, whose bat is ex- pected to fill a much needed punch in the batting attack of the Braves. VARSITY TRACK Coach Hoyt has issued the first call for Varsity indoor track, all men interested report to him af- ter their classes any afternoon this week. W APPEARH Intramural Department Arranges Squash and Handball Meet for Tonight. One of the biggest events on the squash and handball calendar fo~r the current year is scheduled for tonight at 8 o'clock when the Cadil- lac Athletic Club of Detroit will bring a team of picked men to meet a selected group of Michigan play- ers.

Ba- phey, who holds the Detroit' city, the State, and National Doubles championship will lead the Cadillac team, in the handball exhibition. His doubles partner, Dworman, will also make an appearance. Schau- felberger is another member of the Detroitraggregation who holds Na- tional rankiing. Tait, Hodges, and Davidow are the squash experts who will appear with the Cadillac team. Who will oppose them from among the group of Michigan men selected has not been decided.
