SCRAPPERS IN TITLE FIGHT Chicago, Nov. 4—(U.R)— Christo, pher (Bat) Battalino of Hartford, Conn., world's featherweight champion, will meet Earl Mastro, Chicago challenger, in a 10-round title bout at the Chicago Stadium tonight. Battalino, making the fourth defense of the title he won from Andre Routis of France in 1929, was quoted a 6-5 favorite. A crowd of 15,000 was expected to pay about $42.5011 to see the bout. Battalino has defended successfully the 126-pound title against Ignacio Fernandez, Kid Chocolate, Fidel La Barba and Freddie Miller despite the fact that he has lost nine non-title bouts since winning the crown. Both fighters are former amateurs. Battalino graduated from the Simon Pure ranks in 1927 and Mastro a year earlier. During his professional career Mastro has lost only three times, twice on decisions to Fidel Labarba and Harry Dublinsky, and once on a foul to Billy Shaw. He later reversed all three defeats. The bout will mark the first time a 100-per cent Chicago toy has fought for a title in 37 years. Mastro was torn not far from the Chicago Stadium, where he will attempt to be the first Chicagoan to win a title since Jimmy Barry took the bantamweight championship from Casper Leon in 1894. Sammy Mandell, former lightweight champion, will meet Harry Lenny, New Jersey welterweight, in the 10-round semifinal and Louis (Kid) Kaplan, Meridan, Conn., former featherweight champion, will meet Harry Dublinsky. Chicago lightweight, in an 8rounder.

ATTENDANCE SHOWS DECLINE Chicago, Nov. 4 —(U.R)— There was a gradual decline in attendance at football games played during October by Big Ten teams and Notre Dame in comparison to the patronage for the same month in 1930, statistics compiled by the United Press revealed today. On the whole Big Ten attendance showed a slump, but the leading teams. Northwestern, Ohio State, Michigan and Minnesota, individually proved virtually as good drawing cards as in previous years. Northwestern, favorite for the Big Ten title, and Notre Dame, perhaps the two strongest teams of the midwest drew a larger total fpr their first five games this year than they did a year ago. Notre Dame, playing three of the same teams it met a year ago, has attracted an aggregate attendance thus far of 197,000 in comparison to five games in 1930. Northwestern has played to 221,000 persons in five games this season as compared to 204,879 fori a similar number in 1930. A comparison of the attendance figures at the first five games played in 1930 and 1931 by Notre Dame and Northwestern follows: Notre Dame—l93o Notre DamelSouthern Meth. 20,000 Notre Dame-Navy 40,000 Notre Dame-Carnegie Tech 25,000 Notre Dame-Pittsburg 72,000 Notre Dame-Indiana 15.000 Total 172.000 Notre Dame—l93l Notre Dame-Indiana .. 20,000 Notre Dame-Northwestern 65,000 Notre Dame-Drake 18,000 Notre Dame-Pittsburgh 42,000" Notre Daine-Carnegie Tech 52,000 Total 197.000 Northwestern—l93o Northwestern-Tulane ... 30,000 Northwestern-Ohio State 38,000 Northwestern-Illinois 60,000 Northwestern-Centre 25,000 Northwestern-Minnesota 51,879 Total 204,879 Northwestern—l93l Northwestern-Nebraska 40,000 NorthwestermNotre Dame 65,000 Northwestern-U. G. L. A. 35,000 Northwestern-Ohio State. 41.000 Northwestern-Illinois . ... 40,000 Total 221.000 Some of the Big Ten schools have slashed the prices of tickets behind the goal posts, a wise move regardless of other conditions. There has never been any logic to charging $4 for a seat on the 50-yard line and the same price tor one behind the goal posts. Purdue has set a new low for Big Ten football tickets by reducing the price of seats behind th? goal posts to 50 cents for Saturday’s game with Centenary at lAfsyette. Most of the leading Big Ten games this season have drawn as well as last year, with the cxcepi.ons of games played by Illinois, -epresented by cne of its weakest teams lit history. At this time last year two games, the Michi-gan-Ohio State and Michigan-Illi-nois games, each Imd attracted crowds of 70,000. The MichiganOhio State game again, drew a 70.000 crowd this year, but (ho attendance at the Michigan Illinois game, usually a standout in this region, dwindled away to 35,000. A comparison of the biggest crowds up to this time at Bi.; Ten games the past two years follows: 1930 Michigan-Oh! > Slate 70.000 Michigan-Illi.iois . ....... 70,0'10 Purdue-Michigan 45,000 Northwestern-Ohio State . 40,000 Wisconsin-Purdue .. 30 0(0 1931 Michigan-Ohio State 70,000 Minnesota-Wisconsin 50,000 Northwestern-Ohio State 41,000 Wisconsin-Purdue 35,000 Michigan-Illinois 35,000 o SII)EL I N ES * Evanston, 111., Nov. 4. — (U.R) — Fullback Reb Russell, halfback Pug Rentner and center Harold Weldin, Northwestern’s three injured players, will play against Minnesota Saturday. Ollie Olson probably will start at fullback, with Russell relieving him. Rentner will wear a specially constructed cast to protect his broken thumb. Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 4. — Capt. Clarence Munn, Minnesota's 200-pound guard who scored a touchdown against Wisconsin last week, will be used to carry the ball again against Northwestern Saturday, giving the Gophers five ball carriers. Chicago, Nov. 4.—Stanley Hamberg, Chicago's veteran guard who was thought to be out for the season with an injured shoulder, may return to the Maroons' lineup

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 4, 1931.

against Illinois Nov. 14. i South Bend, Ind., Nov. 4.—Coach Heartly Anderson today warned the Notre Dame team against overconfidence regarding Saturday's game with the undefeated Pennsylvania team. “Penn was too easy for us last year," said Anderson, “but they are a lot stronger this year. We will have to be at top form to take them.” Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 4. —Defensive drills for Centenary's wide open formations occupied the at- 1 tention of the Purdue squad yes-1 terday. “We will be lucky not to' lose by two touchdowns," said Coach Noble Kizer, “unless our of tense can pep up and match the I scoring strength of Centenary." i Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 4. — Vic Dauer, veteran quarterback, may have to take over Indiana’s passing assignment against Michigan this week, with Sabik nursing injuries which may keep him out of most of the game. The Hoosiers are counting on their new pass attack to give the Wolverines a scare. Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 4. —The i formidable showing of the Michigan 1 I Reserves in practice this week may cause Coach Harry Kipke to employ them against Indiana Saturday in an effort to wear down the Hoosiers before sending in the varsity. lowa City, lowa, Nov. 4.—Coach Burt Ingwerson is counting on improved blocking to give lowa a better offensive against Nebraska Saturday than in any other game played this season. Capt. Sansen. Laws, and Hickman all blocked well in yesterday's workout. Columbus, 0., Nov. 4. — Secret football practice will be held the rest of the week by the Ohio State squad in preparation for Saturday's game with Navy. All Buckeye players are in good condition except Lew Hinchman, halfback. Madison. Wis., Nov. 4. —Wisconsin’s backfield for the Illinois game probably will be made up of Linfor, Nelson, Strain and Schneller, with Goldenberg and Schillee botli unlikely to play because of injuries. Champaign, 111., Nov. 4. —Coach Bol> Zuppke’s young sophomore squad at Illinois was given another shakeup today, with the chief hunt on for guards and a ground gaining fullback. Straw and Wilson, both former backs, were tried at guard. May and Hester, guards, were tried at fullback. o Hunting Season Opens November 11 Indianapolis, Nov. 5.— (Special)— Hunters of the state are advised by Walter Shirts, superintendent of the fish and game division of file state conservation department, to observe following open season dates, rather than those printed on the back of 1931 hunting, fishing and trapping licenses. Licenses for the year were printed before the 1931 Legislature met and changed some dates. However. licenses bear the inscription, “subject to change by the Legislature." Os general interest is the change in the rabbit law. The season for lawful shooting opens on November 11 and closes on January 9, inclusive with the bag limit of 10 per day. Shirts announced correct open season dates with bag limits prescribed by law. as follows: Ducks (except wood ducks and eider ducks. October 16 opening 12 o'clock noon, to November 15; limit 15 in the aggregate or all kinds, .30 in possession. Geese, including brunt —October 16 (noon) November 15; limit 4 in the aggregate, 8 in possession. Coot. October 16 noon, November 15; limit 15. Wilson or jacksnipe; October 1, December 31; limit 20. Woodcock, October 15, November 14; limit 4. Rails and gallinules, September 1, November 30; limit 25 of all kinds, but not to exceed 15 of one kind. Sora Rails, September 1. November 30; limit 25. Plovers and Yellowlegs; no open season. Quail, November 10, December 20; limit 15 per day. Rabbits, November 11, January 9; limit io per day. Fox, opposum, raccoon, skunk, mink, muskrat, November 15 to January 15. All the dates are in elusive, Shirts said, excepting] where specified that shooting starts: at noon on opening day of season ! in case of migratory game birds. . The 400 feeding shoals advertised for Decatur Community Sale, Saturday, will not be in the sale. However, there will be several head of hogs. It

DEMOCRATS TO NAME SPEAKER AND OFFICERS ,CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Ohio, Republicans holding it with an easy lead for John B. Hollister. Democrats attached importance to the election of former Governor A. Harry Moore as governor of New Jersey vs David Baird, Jr., Republican, whose election was urged by administration spokesI men as a gesture of moral support! | for President Hoover. Democrats i also showed strength in a number lof municipal elections. Kentucky (elected a new governor but the I count will not be known until prob- | ably late today. i Confusion of the house situation, which has existed since the close results a year ago, appeared destined to continue. Democrats gained the Michigan seat through i election of Hart, the first Democrat to get it in 33 years. They held two other seats in the 20th Ohio and the 7th New York district. Republicans retained the first Ohio or Longworth district and the second Pennsylvania. One vacancy in me fifth New Jersey district will be filled by special election December 1. one week before congress meets. The other vacancy, in New Hampshire, will not be filled until January 5. The New Jersey district went Republican two to one a year ago. Should Republicans win it again they would have 216 seats as against a Democratic strength of 217. The Farmer-Labor member, Paul J. Kvale, usually votes with Republicans on organization matters. Should he do so again, the result would be a tie. A majority of the votes cast is sufficient to elect a speaker and to decide the committee chairmanships. Illness, or absence from other causes would be decisive in such a situation. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt won his issue, witli former Governor Alfred E. Smith in obtaining approval of the state constitutional amendment for a reforestation plan. Though Smith denied his oppoI sition to Roosevelt on this point involved a personal break, their controversy was watched closely by national politics of both parties for its bearing on the prestige of Roosevelt, a leading prospect for (he Democratic presidential nomination. Both parties supported the amendment and Smith fought somei thing of a single-handed battle. A voice from the past was heard I again when “general" Jacob Coxey. who led a ragged army of unemployed on Washington after the panic of 1893. appearently was elected mayor of Massillon, Ohio. Now an elderly business man. Coxey went into his campaign with his old time fervor, campaigning in a wakon behind a team of horses. . | National issues appeared only casually in the elections. In New Jersey, two administration wpokesmen, Secretary of Labor Doak and Walter E. Edge, American ambassador to France, campaigned for Qaird urging his election to aid President Hoover. In the Democratic congressional victory in Michigan Hart stood as an anti-prohibitionist while his Republican opponent. Foss Eldred, emphasized other issues. Governor Roosevelt saw indicai tions of Democratic strength despite the failure to win the assem- • bly. "The returns from almost every part of the state show most substantial gains for Democratic supervisors and other town and county officials.' 'he said. “Apparently in many counties Democratic candidates for assembly failed of elecitlon by only a slim margin. Evidently a change of about 1,4)00 | votes would have given a Democratic majority in the assembly." In municipal elections, Frank Murphy, known as the "dole mayor” was re-elected mayor of Detroit. Though the election was non-partisan,’Murphy, a Democrat, was opposed by Harold D. Emmons, a Republican. In Cleveland, leading Democrats headed by Newton I). Baker, won a fight to overthrow the city manager plan which was supported by Maurice Maschke, Republican national committeeman and party leader in Cleveland. Democratic mayors were elected in Springfield and Worcester, Mass., and also in Republican Connecticut where Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport elected Democrats. New York. Nov. 4.— (U.R) —Tammany and its powerful machine swept into a tremendous victory j in New York City’s off year election yesterday. It had geared Its•self to "rebuke" the Seabury investigation of city affairs, and the large vote Tammany acquired in- | dieated that the voters paid little ( or not heed to the Seabury revel- ’ atlons of tat hank accounts of some 1 Tammany office holders, nor to | stories of "tin boxes" which hoarded funds seemingly far beyond the reach of men with municipal sal-

All in all, Tammany rolled along to a big victory and was cheering today. The machine, which believes in supplementing the glad hand with such substantial, rings as tons of coal for freezing widows, overrode opposition strongly. The Macquades, the MeCoeys and the various outstanding political families who have welded into a political unit under guidance of John F. Curry, Tammany leader, pushed the Tammany bloc of can|dldates to an outstanding success. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 4.— (U.R) — Former Governor A. Harry Moore has defeated his Republican opponent, David Baird of Camden, by a plurality exceeding 200,000 votes. Moore’s election puts the state back in the Democratic column after three years of Republican administration under Governor Morgan F. Larson who was swept into office in the Hoover landslide. Democrats gained control of the state assembly for the first time since 1914. They gained one seat in the senate. Uvalde, Tex., Nov. 4.—(U.R) —Rep. John N. Garner, virtually assured of election to speakership of the House of Representatives by Democratic victories in yesterday’s congressional elections, will leave for Washington soon to complete plans for organization of the session, he said today. “I could reveal right now who I have in mind for chairmanship of the house committees," he said. “I will leave for Washington within a week or ten days to make further plans." Cleveland. Nov. 4. — (U.R) — Ohio divided its congressional honors in yesterday’s elections by selecting a Democrat and a Republican to fill vacancies caused by death. John B. Hollister, Cincinnati lawyer, a wet and a political unknown, was the Republican choice in the first Ohio district to succeed the late Nicholas Longworth. Hollister, who is 40 and boasts a military record, defeated State Senator David Lorbach, Democrat, by nearly 18,000 plurality. Martin L. Sweeney, Cleveland, attorney and also a wet, won an easy victory in the 20th district over D. Hayden Parry, Republican. Sweeney, who succeeds the late Rep. Charles L. Mooney, scored a plurality of nearly three to one. The district is normally Democratic. Showing a reactionary tendency, Cleveland voters decreed by a 9,000 majority to scrap the city manager plan of government and the proportional representation system ol electing council members. The manager plan, which became operative in 1924 after a long struggle, Will cease to exist Monday when City Manager Daniel E. Morgan is I dethroned and Law Director Harold H. Burton becomes acting mayor. A special election will be held next February. lonia. Mich., Nov. 4.—<U.R) -Michael J. Hart, a bean jobber from Saginaw, has been named Michigan's only Democratic congressman. and this district’s first Democratic representative in 33 years. Hart’s selection in the rock-rib-bed Republican eighth congressionel district gave the Democratic party nationally its gain of one vote in the next house of representatives. and may determine control of that house. Complete unofficial returns in yesterday’s special election gave Hart 25.843 votes to 20,792 for his Republican opponent, Ross O. Eldred of lonia, a majority larger than the total Democratic primary vote. “It was the economic depression that defeated Eldred," former Gov. Green said. Hart takes the seat occupied for years by the late “Joe" Fordney, of tariff fame. Only a year ago Hart was beaten by Bird J. Vincent, whose death brought on the election. 38,891 to 18,383. —o Rossville Bank Closes Rossville, Ind., Nov, 4 —(UP) — The Union State bank here failed to open today, officials of the state banking department took charge. Jesse M Heydler is president and Adrian Smith cashier. The hank was capitalized at $25,000 loans were $381,322, and deposits were $406,819.

He found the saw, now almost lusted away, at the site of Vince’s Bridge in 1865. He is confident the sa\y was used by Smith to cut down the bridge and incidentally, to cut off Santa Ana, the Mexican general, from escaping. A museum once offered him SSOO for it. o Th?
