1 NEW YORK CITY, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1934 18 Dodgers' Trade Market at Standstill By Ed Hughes Today's Back-Breaking Problem The Sheriff of Ramsey County TOM GIBBONS, one of Jack Dempsey'a old foemen, has been elected sheriff of Ramsey County out St. Paul way. Thus the man who couldn't carve the royal notch In his pugilistic gun falls heir through personal popularity to an office hallowed by such noted gun-fighters and trackers of bad men as Pat Garrett, Wild Bill Hickok and Bat Masterson. These latter were sheriffs In the days of the West's real bad men, when Iron nerve and a lightning draw on the six-shooter were the prime essentials of a sheriff. Often life hung In the balance on a split-second advantage in the appearance of the rod.

Unfailingly a sheriff, then, obtained the none too coveted office on proof written in the blood of his fellow gun-toters. He was a character who contributed his share of the community's tombstones with their chiseled tales of quick, desperate death. Times, of course, have changed, though the gun-play that has glorified the office of sheriff Is still far from the legendary stage. Whether or not Mr. Gfbbons' exploits with the leather buffers would have been sufficient to elect him sheriff In the days of the old West is a question.

Mere fist-fighting was considered pretty tame Stengel Declares He's Not Anxious To Swap Players By TOMMY HOLMES Your esteemed kinsman. Cousin Casey Stengel, reported himself in first-class condition for what the boys are calling the baseball meeting of the century. Casey closed his training yesterday by moving over to a Manhattan hotel 24 hours ahead of time and standing motionless beneath a potted palm from two to six in the afternoon. "My arches are In the veritable pink of condition," was Casey's final message to his public. "And the guy who outlasts me in the three-day standing marathon which is about to begin will at least know that he has been in a fight.

I needed that Louisville meeting under my belt to put me at my best Stengel and General Manager Lrescent Uub Bob Quinn tried hard in old Ken-, stuff, then, let alone legalized biff lng with leather. Reputations were carved with steel-Jacked left hooks in the frontier days. A slug through the heart was worth a million right upper cuts. The old-time sheriff could pick neither his sports nor his opponents, a modern art which is practiced with avidity by the best of ring fighters. New-Tangled Ideas GIBBONS has some interesting notions on the functioning of the up-to-date sheriff's office.

Physical education, he thinks, is a fine thing for his deputies. Thus the man-hunters of his office will put in three hours a week with deep breathing exercises, dumb-bell flourishes and bendings and twistlngs to harden the stomach muscles. He declares he will build up an organization of young, physically fit men, with a minimum of those who have "had a lot of police experience." That seems natural enough in one sense. After all, the big item in Tom Gibbons' life is that he stayed 15 rounds with Jack Demp- tucky but, as Casey put It, "I wound up the session with nothing except a lot ot checks at the bar; Brooklyn trades In Louisville were sey. Had Gibbons not been prominent as a glove fighter the chances are no one would ever have thought of him for sheriff of Ramsey or any other county.

Meet Pat Garrett Still Tied for Squash Lead Wins Over Harvard to Run Victory Streak Up to Seven Games The unbeaten Crescent Athletic-Hamilton Club Class squash team won its seventh victory last night, defeating Harvard, 4 to 1, to remain in a tie for the league honors with the City A. which topped its second team, 5 to 0. UT is physical fitness, as exemplified by the commercial Mke the weather. Everybody talked of them but nothing was done about them. The Dodgers didn't offer enough for the players they wanted and other clubs did not offer enough for Mungo.

Leslie, Lopez, Frey and other Dodger athletes in great demand. A difficulty there Is that the Dodgers are justifiably loath to part with the players other clubs desire. WILL NOT TRADE FREY EVEN CP There is not a shortstop In the league that Brooklyn would trade even up for Linus Frey, for example, so a good shortstop and another ball player good enoush to jump In as a Brooklyn regular in some other position Is what the club would and has asked for the baby-faced kid from old St. Louis. They spurn cash.

Stengel says, "Washington once threw a coin across the Potomac, but his picture on a dollar bill won't get that baseball across the infield from deep short into Sam's mitt." Neither Stengel nor Quinn would fighter in training, really important in a deputy sheriff's life? My conception of an efficient deputy sheriff, hammered into my brain by numerous half-tones of same, is a gentleman of somewhere middle age with a hard-bitten, businesslike face, probably baggy trousers, who is more at home carrying a shotgun or a pistol than a cane. I have before me a group picture of the posse that ambushed Clyde Barrow and Bonny Parker and blew that murderous pair to Kingdom Come. They all seem to fit the type I describe. They all look as In other matches, Princeton won over Yale, 3 to Columbia topped New York A. 3 to 2, and Short Hills won over Elizabeth, 3 to 2 The Winged Foot defeat was its first and went into second place Favor Dutra if they had been through hell and back any number of times, with no Hueston Plavs In the standing.

"Candidly," Stengel declared, "I'm not as eager to swap players around as most people think I ought to be. I suppose I'd feel differently about it if we had finished last season in a losing streak.

We didn't. The further the season went the better ball the Dodgers played. Only the Cardinals had a better winning record in the last six weeks."

It is impossible to predict Just how much will be accomplished at the major leiteue congress starting Barney Ross 15 13, to win the veterans' squash racquets championship at the Heights Casino. time to spare for anything as tame as "the daily dozen," The only important qualifications of a sheriff or deputy in the days of real trouble were that he be alive and not dead, with a willingness and ability to face the worst of desperadoes and come off with his heart beating.

Nothing else amounted to much. Take Walter Noble Burns' description of Pat Garrett, the sheriff, who finally killed Billy the Kid, the most cold-blooded as well as the most gifted and picturesque of all America's bad men the youthful terror of the Southwest. Billy the Kid killed a man for every year of his life. He died at 21.

He had everything to gain and nothing to lose what with Dempsey taking 250,000 all the money in sight and Gibbons getting not a penny, according to the tales. Yet Gibbons never took a chance. As for the mechanics of boxing few could exceed Tom Gibbons.

But Thomas was never a chance taker. Had it not been for his bump of caution Gibbons, possibly, might have flattened Dempsey and won his title. He could both box and hit, but to me he was never a gambler. He didn't put up half the fight, take a fraction of the chances that Georges Carpentier did before he collapsed in the fourth round from Dempsey's punches. At least Georges "shot the works" and succeeded in staggering and stunning the champion.
