After the brawl, they started back for the coal mines-until the next call. This was, of course, the fabrication of imaginative journalists, but it gives an idea of the extent of the spat.

No Cash Involved The deal, in which no cash was in- volved, was announced after a brief conference in the hotel suite of J. Louis Comiskey, White Sox owner. The quick decision to act came after two days of bickering between Dykes and Cochrane. "I had to bolster my pitching," said Cochrane, "and with Kennedy win- ning between 18 and 20 games we will be tough next season, even though I had to sacrifice hitting and defensive strength by letting Gerald Walker and Owen go." Fills Infield Gap Dykes, who has been after Gerald Walker for three years and who wanted Owen to plug the Sox third base hole, was elated. He said he long has wanted another "real hit- ting" outfielder and described Owen as one "of the finest defensive in- fielders in the game." Kennedy won 14 games and lost 13 last season, but in 1936 was a 21- game winner. Dixie Walker, who hit .300 for the Sox, developed into a Sox star after being "sold down the river," by the New York Yanks after numerous in- juries had slowed him down.{ Walker A Slugger' Gerald Walker, one-time Detroit "problem child" because of his base- running antics, has been hitting sen- sationally, batting .335 in 1937 and getting 18 homers. Cochrane's un- willingness to part with "Gee" be- cause of his popularity in Detroit was one reason the deal did not come off sooner. Tresh, who caught more than 100 games and hit .271 for Portland in the Pacific Coast League last season, is a young catcher of promise. Value-$150,000 Piet, utility infielder for the Sox, is expected to strengthen Detroit's in- field utility forces. The deal, rated as one of $150,000 worth of diamond talent, was the big- gest for the White Sox since they bought Dykes, Al Simmons and "Mule" Haas from the Philadelphia Athletics for $75,000 in 1933. Olympia Club Joins Detroit Red Wings In Use Of Coliseum The Ice Follies in Detroit forced the members of the Olympia Skat- ing Club to leave their customary quarters and in so doing gave Ann Ar- bor skating fans a novel and inter- esting treat at the Colliseum last night. Unable to use their own rink and unwilling to give up their skating, the Detroiters like the Detroit Red Wings who will practice at the Coliseum to- day from 12 noon to 2 o'clock and tomorrow from 9 to 10 in the morning, welcomed hockey Coach Eddie Lowrey's invitation to use the Coliseum for their figure skating. Fifteen male and female figure skaters, with ages ranging from 14 to the middle 60's, went on with their practice in the middle of the ice while the usual student skaters went right on with their pleasure skating. Naturally the fact that they were surrounded by other skaters who were unintentionally cutting in on them limited their repertoire. They were limited to the simple steps such as the tango, the 14 step, and othe practice school steps. Coach Eddie Lowrey hopes to in terest students and townspeople i figure skating and have one of the 'members of the club instruct them. GIFTS.. . New ....

Cappon worried. Cappon refuses to deny that his team is potentially one of the class outfits in the Conference this year, but he realizes that they will not win any games on paper. While not planning any radical shakeup, he is driving the cagers hard and will con- tinue to do so until the rough edges are ironed out. The play of some of the veterans, this week has not been up to par but, close competition on the part of the ambitious sophomore crew has put most of the older men on their mettle again. Defensively the cagers have looked far better than on offense. Last night's scrimmage against the fresh- men saw the Varsity hold the year- lings to a lone basket in 15 minutes in one of the many drills, but they missed countless set-up shots and looked ragged in spots. Cappon expressed dissatisfaction with the play in all departments after the drill, but stated that he expected! the squad to snap out of it before the1 Michigan State opener on December 11. At present the teams line up as follows: FIRST TEAM-Townsend and Rae (front line); Beebe, Thomas, and Fishman (back line). SECOND TEAM-Smick and Nich- olson (front line) ; Pink, Palmer, and Barclay (back line). Mannie Slavin, Bill Lane, Ben Wea-1 ver and Vince Valek are front line reserves, while Freddie Trosko, Dick Long, Dave Wood, and Russ Dobson! substitute in the back ranks.
