S&R St. Paul Team To Play Series With Coast Team (United Press Service) Chicago, Oct. 15.—T. J. Hickey president of the American Association of Professional Baseball announced that a series will be played between St. Paul champions over Baltimore in the little world's series, and the victor in the Coast league race. San Francisco and Los Angeles are fighting it out for the coast league championship, and arrangements fgr’ the extra series cannot be compu ted till the issue between the'*' two clubs is settled, Hickey said. The series will be played on the coast, the president announced. o The Fourth Down By Willie Punt — WALLOP CENTRAL. The Yellow Jackets and Catholic High meet on A hr's Field for a scrimmage this evening. The practice | game will be a good conditioner for their games Friday with Fort Wayne , Central and Fort Wayne Central . Catholic, respectively. Don't hurt each other, boys, but save your hefty wallops for Friday's games. •, i After Huntington beat the Yellow , Jackets 57-0. Sideliness made a crack I at Sport Comment, kidding the latter ( about the Wabash team, which beat ] Decatur 14-7. Sport comes back with ( the following reply: "You're not well i read. Sidelines, or you would have < read an account of the game and have i known the reason for the score, i There were only four regulars out of | the Yellow Jacket lineup, and Coach i Marshal of Decatur was playing his• second string team. Find us the set of t regulars that can't run over a team'i of scrubs by a 57-ttscore.” I Our surmise was correct. This • comes from Sport Comment: "Willie Punt didn't punt today. His column is missing for the first time since he ' started kicking for Decatur. Not sick over the game, are you Willie?" Kenny Pass, of Portland, has joined the rest of us in agreeing that the Blufftou columnists should open fire. They must be busy working up some- . thing original to spring during the basketball season. Sidelines rather likes our suggestion of a Columnists' Club, and he also likes the suggestion that he be made president. Modestly, he states that he sorta deserves the honor since he is the only one who conducts a column the year round. Kenny Pass had a slim column yesterday and he gives the following excuse; “None of the sport commenters made any remarks which were worth printing yesterday. Even the old man Willie Punt failed to say anything which was worth printing, but he is getting old and feeble." 'Salright, Kenny, we still have a kick left if we are backing a loser. If you follow the game long you'll be doing the same thing once in a while. “Skeet" Kern, who has held down an end position on ths Yellow Jacket eleven when the said Yellow Jackets were contenders for the state championship two years ago. is now play- 1 ing halfback on the North-Western I College team.

Oct. 15. —Scrimmage and more scrimmage is the program being carried out this week ,by Navy Bill Ingam for his squad of Crimson football players in preparation for the first Conference game of the season, against Chicago at the Midway Saturday, Oct. 18. a Not satisfied with the showing his men made agianst the husky Ixtuisiana team last Saturday at Indianapolis, the varsity mentor hah called a freshman team up to Indiana Field early each afternoon to try I Maroon plays on the varsity and has rotated the four greenjerseyed elevens in scrimmage until darkness has forced a halt to the afternoon’s play. | The forty-four members of the varsity squad have redoubled their | efforts tinder the coach of Ingram' and Sundstrom since the first of the | week and as no one is on the hospital' list, a week’s intensive training should round the Scrappin’ Hoosiers into tip-top shape for the invasion of the Windy City. Coach Ingram realizes the difficulty of winning a game on Stagg Field and has prepared several new plays to use in the annual Crimson-Maroon fracas. Coach Sundstrom. all-Ameri-can tackle himself last year, is spending his time working with the linemen and declares himself well satisfied with their development during the four weeks of practice. Captain Joe Sloate has proved himself a valuable asset to the Crimson aggregation by his consistent I place kicking, scoring ten points after touchdowns by this method to lead ' Conference hooters in this department of the game. Hb is spending part of each afternoon working on punting also, as that has proved to be one of the weakest spots in the Hoosier gridiron machine. George Fisher, giant tackle and heavy wrestler, who has been on the 'sidelines who a sprained ankle for thiee weeks is expected to see serv- . ice against the Staggmen Saturday.

John McGraw needs two outfielders badly and he always has been in dire distress for pitchers. He has plenty of infield strength but he may have to sacrifice some of it to patch up the other holes. The outfield was bad enough before Jimmy O’Connell got himself in the scandal and when he was ousted from baseball. McGraw found himself without any kind of a centerfielder, He had to do the unusual and shift George Kelly from first base to the garden. o Hoagland To Play Concordia College The Hoagland baseball team will play the Concordia College team from Fort Wayne on the Hoagland iiamond next Sunday.

She said he was permitted in the place as one of the family, but that no money ww accepted from him for playing.
