The varsity “A’’ team is in train-1 ing tor the Colgate battle Saturday and the ‘ B" team is looking toward the game with lowa's "B" team. No definite lineup has been settled upon for the game with the easterners this week-end. Coach Pat Page has tried several different combinations and indicated yesterday that he probably would not announce until Friday the group that will take the I field Saturday. After practice games yesterday a ! half hour was spent in blocking tac-> tics. Before time was called for the! day the squad showed considerable : improvement in this department. Indianapolis. — Butler’s freshman team used Haskell Indian plays against the varsity yesterday with little success. The Butler line succeeded in sifting through and smearing the plays befpre they were well started. The practice was marked with more pep and aggressiveness than has been evidenced earlier in the fall. Greencastle, Ind. — The Boilermakers of Purdue will meet some stiff opIMisition in their game with Depauw Saturday, it was shown here yesterday in the Depauw workout. The I squad is working on the theory that it has all to gain and nothing to lose, and indications are that a lot may be i gained. ’• Coach Bish Hughes revealed some trick plays in the practice which he has kept secret for this week's game. The varsity used them for long gains titrough the frosh yesterday, . and worked with ease and precision. o Along the Sidelines * —<U.R>—- • 0 ALONG THE SIDELINES Ry United Press MINNEAPOLIS — Secret drill was held by the Gophers yesterday in preparation for their tilt with Northwestern.

Oct. 16. —<U.R) — Two cf the three major league clubs looking for managers have selected their men. The New York Yankees have signed a successor to the late Miller Huggins, but his name will not be announced until next Tuesday. There is little doubt that it is Arthur Fletcher. Yankees' coach for the past three years. Dan Howley, former manager of .the St. lamis Browns, has been named manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Only the St. Louis Cardinals are on the lookout for a manager unless Bill Carrigan decides not to lead th? Boston Red Sox next season. Sam Breadon, president of the Cardinals, said during the world series that he would not name Bill McKeclinie's successor until after the football season. » If Carrigan does not return to the Red Sox. Muddy veteran Washington catcher, is said to be in line for the jolt. In announcing that the Yankees

had selected their 1929 manager. Secj retary Ed Barrow said the formal announcement of his appointment would 1 be held up pending the man's return : to New York city. Fletcher is at present at his home 1 in Collinsville. 111., and Is expected to return early next week. Twice Fletcher has turned down 1 jobs to manager other American league teams since he came to the Tftinkees. He refused an offer two years ago to manage Cleveland and last July turned down an offer to manage the Chicago White Sox. Fletcher has had five years of managerial experience in the National league. He managed the Phillies from 1922 through 1926. The club never finished higher than seventh principally because of lack of material. He was one of the best shortstops I in baseball when he was in his prime I with the New York Giants from 1909 !to 1920. He is 43 and has been in , baseball for 22 years. Will Refund Sixth Game Ticket Money Chicago, Oct. 16.— (U.R) — The Chicago Cubs tomorrow wil begin the refunding of slightly over $200,000 sent in by baseball fans for tickets to the sixth game of the world's series, which would have been played here had not the Athletics won four of the first five games. The fans were instructed to turn their third game tickets into any one of two or three box offices and receive their refunds. Only out ot town reservations were refunded by mail. Meanwhile, the Cubs, after arriving home yesterday, prepared to entrain tor their winter homes. Many of them were going on hunting trips, others planned traveling vacations, and some like Riggs Stephenson, were just going home to get “some real friend chicken." Approximately 500 faithful fans met the Bruins when they returned yesterday. The players made an effort to smile through their gloom but it was plain that they still were thinking about what they regarded as tough breaks in the five games against Connie Mack’s A's. Q Johnny Corriden To Manage Indians In 1930 Indianapolis, Oct. 16. — (U.R) — The new manager of the American Association baseball club here will be Johnny Corriden.

And the Yellow Jackets are in Fort Wayne today to meet the Central high school Tigers -probable state grid champions. —oOo— Pete Reynolds, managing editor of Grid Gabs in the Bluffton News relates the following: ’’That really was too bad Dick, all your fond hopes and expectations dashed so thoroughly Saturday. First, the Cubs knocked off. then the Yellow Jackets. And to top it off, the Cubs threw away the final game yesterday seemingly after they had their second victory of the series tied up.” —oOo — We believe that Pete is attempting to poke fun at our ability to pi k winners. —oOo — And then turning to the other west suburb sport sheet we find that Frank Buckner, alleged Wells county (certified) athletic official, newspaperman, etc., etc., says: "Betting on the Cubs was like Inlying oats for a dead horse.” —oOo — The Bluffton Tigers’ 1929 football edition, fresh from a victory ov »r Garrett meets Portland on the west suburb lot this afternoon. —oOo — The Huntington Vikings, still batting 1.000 without a victory this season meet Peru at Peru today. The reason for all this outburst of mid-week high school football is because schools throughout the state were dismissed this afternoon for the teachers’ conventions. To date Huntington has not withdrawn from the Northeastern Indiana Teachers' association. —oOo—"Crowds'* in the Huntington HeraldPress was nice about various criticisms concerning the Viking tangle with the N. E. 1. Athletic association. Mr. Crowds took slight exception to Footbawls' statement saying that it would be easy to secure ten more schools for the N. E. I. Athletic conference and asked us to name the teu schools.

—oOo — We'd say that the northeastern half' . of the state would be anv place north' I and east of Indianapolis—and it would : ‘ be no trouble to name ten schools in ■ northeastern Indiana, Mr. Crowds — we'd suggest that you get a state geography and study it — and then ( answer your own interrogation. —oOo— Old Man Hard Luck continues to f “ollow the Jacketmen this year. Dwight Schrepp, lineman on the grid team, is hobbling around on crutches —he received an injured ankle in the Port ( land game. \ 1 —oOo — But it's when hard luck hits a camp that the other boys realize the added responsibility and take ; to the field in an ea-nest effort. —oOo— Bluffton is coming over to Decatur < with a cock attitude October 25.— t We've seen other west suburb teams | come over the same way— 1 —-000- — 1 Speaking of indoor sports.

"Scarface Al" Capone, grand mogul of the gangsters, now In jail in PhilJadelphla, was named by the woman las the man who riddled Attorney I William 11. McSwiggin and two com- ' panions witli machine gun bullets on a C’cero street in 1926. “Al was just a small leader then and he shot McSwiggin and the I others wltett they were on a raid in Cicero." said the statement, matte by I Mrs. Frank Biege, whose husband formerly was a Capone bodyguard, and announced by the state's attorney's office. The 24-page statement details inI triglie and wholesale slaughter rivaling that of the Borgia* and De M edicts.

Ind., Oct. 16. —(U.R) — Monroe circuit courtroom was crowded this morning at opening of the trial of three Bloomington policemen charged with assault and battery on Lowis Smith. LS-year-old high school student, in an alleged "third degree" episode. Those on trial are Everett Anderson. Scott Davis and Homer Terrill. They admitted slapping the youth “to cool down his cursing.'* Smith was brought to headquarters by the officers as a prowler suspect Robert G. Miller. Bloomington lawyer who filed the charges against the officers, has branded their statement of Smith's cursing as false.

“The nearest Smith came to cursing,” MHler said, "was when he said 'you’re another’ when a cop called him a liar. It was the cop whfi did the cursing." According to Smith, all three officers struck and cursed him and took turns at -“beating my ears down.” Charging Bloomington is police ridden. the Bloomington Telephone, afternoon paper published by Blaine W. Bradfute. has been active in demanding prosecution of the case. The paper opened a public subscription fund to pay for attorneys to assist Donald Rogers, prosecuting attorney of Monroe county, in the trial. The city administration is standing

back of the officers and refused to suspend them. A fine of SI,OOO and six months on the penal farm is the limit of punishment for assault and battery. o CAL, AL. AND JULIUS HAVE WALK TOGETHER icnvTtvnin from page one* anthropic fund. » A man living in the vicinity of NewYork whose name no one has as yet announced is said to have established a fund of millions to be used forth” public good. Either this man or the Bankers Trust company, with which the money is said to have been deposited. sought a representative trio of men whose standing would be irreproachable, to control the expenditure of the fund, the story goes. Mr. Coolidge, protestant. former Governor Smith, Roman Catholic, and Rosenwald, a Jew. noted for his philanthropies as well as his skill in business, agreed, it is said, to accept the responsibility. Before very long an announcement

is expected to reveal the foregoing to be correct, or approximately the correct, version of what has brought these men together. For the moment, however, none of the principals will talk. It is related that (rovernor Smith and Mr. Coolidge have found each other quite delightful people and that none finds irksome the luncheon engagements they are said to have had frequently at private dining place in the financial district. It is further told that they have spent social half hours together riding about the city in Smith's automobile. And it is even recited that one afi ternoon not long ago Al Smith took ■ Calvin Coolidge to the famous “Tiger room” maintained by William F. Ke iI ny, millionaire friend of Smith. It is I a private lair frequented only by the ; inner circle of Kenny's friends and ■ in it many a stroke of statesmanship : upon the part of Smith or Tammany i is said to have been Conceived. Be all that as it may—the fact remains that Calvin Coolidge, Al Smith and Julius Rosenwald have strolled Wall street together; have talked man to man around the conference board; and together have broken bread to the enjoyment of all.
