Y^W^'W*i herseetO Cruder Pat Page "'Salter The football world sustained a shock, unequalled since the tragic death of Knute Rockne, when it was announced that Alonzo Stagg, for 40 year* football coach and athletic mentor at the University of Chicago, had been retired. A statute, providing that no member of the faculty miv teach after reaching the age of 70, is given as the reason for the drastic action which will take effect next June. Stagg has bad a brilliant career in the sports world. As a student at Yale, he made history on the gridiron and baseball diamond. One of his performances on the latt -r was in 1888 when he struck out twenty Princeton batters in a single afternoon. Stagg has coached the University of Chicago's teams since that institution opened its doors. During the forty years he has been mentor there he developed many players whose names are emblazoned in the annals of athletics. Among them are the late Walter Eckersall, one of the greatest grid figures in history; H. O. Crisler, present head coach of Princeton, and Pat Page, who is now Stagg's assistant at Chicago. Incidentally, Page is regarded as the most likely successor to his chief as football coach Stagg’s record at Chicago is • remarkable one Under his tutelage, the Maroons played 375 genes. Os these, they won 243, lost 104 and tied 28. In the so-called “Big Ten” games. Stage's teams won 124 of 218 starts, tying 16. That is a record that stands somewhere near, if not actually at, the top of the tree in football coaching. The photo above showing Stagg with Don Birney, captain of Chicago's varsity team, is one of the most recent made.

Mule Haas, the speedy centre fielder included in the deal, has the distinction of being the first man ever to pinch-hit for Ty Cobb. Jimmy Dykes was Connie Mack's third baseman and utility infielder of the A’s for fourteen years.

The President p’anned 14 addresses across West Virginia and Ohio before climaxing his third invasion of Iliis doubtful area" with a fighting message expected to answer Franklin D. Roosevelt's latest proposals and attacks on Republijean policies. | His first speech today was schedi tiled in Charlestown, W. Va. His last in Detroit tonight was to be delivered from the same platform from which he made a winning light against the soldiers bonus in the i Legion convention a year ago. He was expected to renew his at- ' tack on the bonus. He was expected to denounce the Democratic i 'presidential candidate's rejection of a bonus “until there is a surplus in the treasury" as "evasive.’' He was expected to review administration re ief policies. The preseldent worked until the last minute, as usual, on his address. He spent the greater part 'of every day this week on the Detroit message, and continued his I labors today abroad the train, his aides reported The presence of French Strother, and other members ot the White House executive office on the train, indicated the speech was far from ready when the President left Washington.

1933, Connie Maek has made a good move. Certainly he has strengthened the hapless White Sox. who may be able tv build a contender around Simmons. Haas and Dykes and regain some of the lost prestige of the American League in the West. Bimrncns and Haas are both 29. Dykes is 36. Coleman. Cramer and Finney are all in their early twenties, and Higgins, who will replace Dykes at third for the A's. is a mere youngster Mack may figure that as long a« he can strengthen second-division clubs without weakening his own team he will be gaining an advantage over the all-powerful Yanks. | Last season the Yanks took nearly ■ all of their games with the White Sox. If the White Sox had split even with the Yanks, the latter team would have led the A’s at the end of the season by no more than a game or two. Undoubtedly this was n Connie Mack’s mind when he sold his three siege guns down the river. CtpyrifM. it!2. Kln« Feature* Syndicate Inc

Conn., former featherweight champion, in a 10I round bout in the Chicago stadium last night. Ross weighed 135. > Battalino 135tJ. Before a crowd of 11.349 which paid 321.463 to see the bout. Ross won the unanimous ver.He’ of thej referee and two judges. One judge I gave Ross a margin ot 61-89. Th« other scored it 59 41 and the 1 referee 58-42. I It was Ross' tenth straight victory and placed him in line for a lightweight title bout with Tony Ganzoneri before the end of the; winter season. Battalino. as always, put up a : game exhibition, and never retreated before Ross’ steady fire ;of jabs, hooks and uppercuts.; i Ross cut loose with every punch in his power on more than one occasion in an effort to knock Battaiino off his feet, but he never succeeded in doing more than | slowing the ox-champicn up tem- ! : porarily. After the bout it was discover , ed Battalino had suffered a broke.) nose which, handicapped him in , the later rounds.

He termed the attempt a wornout stage trick patented by Mark Hanna. Gov. Roosevelt scheduled his first major stop today at Louisville, Ky._ where an address was planned i shortly before noon.

tain. AVhat he desires now is that! ■ his party workers do not become I over-confident. His campaign through the border ; ; states was more to keep up contacts with old friends than win new j votes in the territory which already iis regarded as lost by Republicans. His speeches were directed at vol-! lers in more northern states who are ; observing the tv.ur at a distance. Roosevelt’s St. Louis address delivered before an audience of 10,000 at the coliseum dontained an .outline of his policy for protection of investors nnd placed the blame for many losses, especially those of holders of foreign bonds, at the door of Hoover and Coolidge administrations. Eight classes of securities were I discussed by the nominee who cited measures he woul dtake to project against raids by "unscrupulous

, financiers." The classes of securities named were: federal obligations, state ob ligations, municipal bonds, foreign; ‘obligations, domestic industrial: bund.', public utility obligations,. railroads, real estate and farm' mortgages. Roosevelt was most bitter in his I I criticism of the administration pol- - icies in regard to foreign financing and domestic public utilities. He mentioned the crash of the Instill ■ utilities. "I ask the simple qeustlon.'’ said Roosevelt. "What leadership has the President exerted toward the e’imination of the type of abuse i which resulted in the Insull fail-j iure?” "The indifference of the present administration has permitted the savings of thousands of our citizens to be swallowed up and lost for all j time.’’ HIRAM .JOHNSON TO TAKE STUMP CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE i (he president they declared, has been evident for four years. His open opposition, they said, will , not have a much greater effec; ; than his passive hostility.
