MANAGERS ARE GOOD FRIENDS Joe McCarthy, of Yankees -And Charlie Grimm, of • Cubs, Close Friends “ (Edit r’s Note- This is th? firth of a series on the New York Yankees and Chicago Gubs. Today, the managers. Monday, the entire teams.) Chicago, Sept. 24 —(U.R)-~ The managerial situation for the Now York Yankees-Chicago Cubs world series is unique in baseball history. Joe McCarthy, manager of the Yankees, was for five years the leader of the Chicago Cubs, and knows the strength and weaknesses of the maturity of the opposition's players almost as well as he Jnows those of his own team. . Charlie Grimm, playing manager of the Cubs, was elevated to his present role less than two months •go. and from 1926 through 1930 be was field captain under the manager he now opposes in the world series. is the first manager to take over a team in August and nilot it to a pennant, and McCarthy is the first manager to win pennants in both major leagues. This would be a better story if President William Veeck hadn't fired Rogers Hornsby as manager of the Cubs on the night of August 2. in Philadelphia. If Hornshy had Held his job and piloted the Cubs to the pennant, the world series would bring together two bitter enemies at the helm of the contending teams. But even if Veeck hadn't dismissed Hornsby there might not have been any world series in Chicago. Instead of grudge battle between McCarthy and Hornsby, the managerial rivalry is between two steadfast friends. Under McCarthy's regime at Chicago. Grimm was one of his most loyal players. Because of his bitter disappointment in the 1929 world series. McCarthy is doulfly anxious to pilot the Yankees to the world championship. It was the tragic collapse of the Cubs in that series against the Athletics which eventually led to McCarthy’s dismissal by the late William Wrigley, Jr. McCarthy has proved himself a great manager during his seven years in the maiors. He took the Cubs over in 1926 after they had finished last the previous season, and piloted them to fourth place. He laul the groundwork for the present team. He has never had a team to finish out of first division. McCarthy's greatest talent perhaps is as a developer of pitchers. He brought out Bush. Root and Malone when he was w-ith the Cubs. In his two years with the

! Yankees he has converted Gomer and Allen Into two of the finest I young pitchers in the game. If McCarthy knows all about the ' Cubs, Grimm has a right-hand I man who knows all about the < Yankees. He is Charlie O'Leary, ' nine years a Yankee coach, who ■ moved to the Cubs when McCarthy , went to the Yankees. He knows where to pitch to Ruth, Gehrig. Lazxeri, Dickey, etc., and where . not to pitch to ’em. i' Grimm's remarkable success in r! his brief managerial experience is - largely the result of his popularity ? with his players. When he sueI ceeded Hornsby he merely went about his duties as if he were i still filed captain. He probably 1 has had more success with less effort than any manager who ever' • handled a championship team. o TO OPEN SEASON SUNDAY, OCT. 2 ? ■ Decatur Independent Football Team Will Play Opening Game Here i The Decatur independent Lot hall t team will open its season next Sunday.

SPEAKING of imposing spectacles, one say that the East has the Empire State Building and the West has the University of Southern California football team. And speaking of football, it is not too late to remind all and sundry that the football honors of 1931 went to the West, and the cham pionship to the aforementioned Southern California team. There is no doubt that last year’s gridiron supremacy, far and wide, belonged to the Pacific Coast. They do say that the old story that the Far West has better material than the East is a myth. But thefactis that Southern California’s line, when it goes into action for the first time this season arainst Utah today, averages 200 pounds. That's

State Moose Leaders Are Re-Elected Valparaiso. Ind.. Sept. 24—(U.PJ —, Selection of the 1933 convention [ city was before 1.200 delegates and visitors to the 10th annual i conclave of the Indiana Ixiyal Order of Moose as they met in closing session here today. A street parade and football I game between Valparaiso Univer- [ sity and Mooseheart teams this afternoon and a banquet and dance ■ tonight were to close the meeting. Two hundred men and 75 women , were initiated into the order and its auxiliary last night. o One Unit In Porter County Under Limit Valparaiso, Ind. Sept. 24—(UP) — Out of 27 taxing units in Porter county, orly one has a tax rate under the $1.50 limit placed by the law passed in the recent special legisla- ■ i tivs session. Pine township, with numerous . subdivisions to keep up its wealth, will have a rate of $1.47. The remaining units are seeking higher ! levies in appeals placed with the county Ivard of tax review.

no myth. And none of those 200- > pounders are slow on their feet ; either. But let’s get away from the old East-West controversy and take another slant at the championship . team. I mean Howard Harding Jones, Southern California's coach. At forty-seven Jones rtands as the nation’s foremost coaih. inheriting Knute Rockne's cloak. Today marks the twenty-first time he has started a flock of footballers on their way. Seven of these coaching years have been with Southern California. Back of these seven years are eight at lowa, two at Yale, and one each at Ohio State, Duke and Syracuse. And here are some more figures. His teams have won 136 games, lost 37. ano tied 9 times.

RELIEF LOANS ARE ANNOUNCED CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE , Muskegon Heights, to be used in September and October. i Washington, Sept. 24— (U.PJ —i ' The reconstruction finance corpor-l i ation today granted a relief loan; 1 of $5,000,000 to Illinois to relieve* i destitution in Chicago and 31 conn- , ties of the state. The loan was made in time to prevent the closing of relief stations in Chicago. Most of the [ money authorized will be used in Cook county. The amount was, [ deemed sufficient to tide the state over until it can make its' ■' own appropriations. ; I o Legion Commander Visits Headquarters ■ Indianapolis, Sept. 24 — (U.PJ — ' Louis A Johnson. Clarksburg. W. Va.. elected national commander |of the American Legion at the Legion convention in Portland, Ore., paid a short visit to the legion’s national headquarters • here today. Accompanied by Mrs. Johnson. ’ the Legion commander was to leave for his home in Clarksburg, in an airplane after inspecting! ) headquarters. They arrived from , Chicago late yesterday. - Johnson did not know when he ri would return to national head-' > quarters Imt intimated it would; i be soon.

At Southern California, Jones’ record has few equals in coaching history. Seven seasons of his coaching have resulted in 64 games won. ID games lost and 2 games tied. It would not be a risky speculation to predict that Jones' 1932 aggregation will play fast, powerful, heads-up football Even with the loss of stars like Shaver, Pinckert, Musick, Mallory and Baker, reports rate the team as strong as last year’s. They will have plenty of competition on the Pacific slope, with Stanford and Califurn x elevens making fast company. And today’s the day for the opening whistle. Southern California, with Jones in the saddle, is on tup. Will they stay there* Cupy.-lrht I*ll King Featuret Srodlcst*. Im.
