LAYDEN SAYS PITT WILL WIN Claims Easterners Too Bijr And Fast; Other Coaches Doleful Chicago. Nov. 1 — (U.R) — Oct ready, Pittsburgh. with your toughest linemen and your fastest, hard hitting backs, because Notre Dame is coining with blood in its eye and revenge in its heart. Few gave a serious thought to Notre Dame's chances against Pitt until Elmer latyden. Irish coach, broke down and confessed today under heavy pressure that his team didn't have a chance. Notre Dame's plot to ambush Pitt unawares — something like old Chief Sitting Bull did General Custer end his stalwarts at Little Big Horn in 1876 — exudes from every doleful word of Laydens pre-battle statement. Just listen. Pitt players. Layden speaking: “Our scouts tell us that Notre Dame is not ready for Pitt in anv department of play. Pitt has a tvpica’lv fast, big line, sunn'emented by as fine a set of backs as any team in the country can boast. ‘ The lack of experience of the Notre Dame players will place them at a disadvantage, for most • of Pitt's men are seniors. We have only three seniors. Cantain Vairo at right end. Rocco Schiral'i at left guard and George MelInkovich at right halfback. “As a result of our inexperience. Pitt should be able to score easily and often with its intricate offense by fooling our green players. Because of the stress on fundamentals. Notre Dame is not equipped with fancy scoring plavs." If what Elmer says is true Pitt should win hv anywhere from 40 to 50 points in Saturday's battle at Pittsburgh, but Elmer knows there's nothing deader on Sunday morning than a football coach's ► atement of last Thursday Those little bold face lines under "football scores" do a lot of talking in

GIANTS BUI DICK BARTELL Pay Large Sum And Four Players In Team Rebuilding Program New York. Nov. 1 (U.R) —The New York Giants have set out to ? buy" another championship team 'and none other than parsimonious Willyum Terry Is directing the expenditures which may run well more than a quarter million dollars. That the Giants are in dead earnest was revealed yesterday in an announcement that shortstop ; Dick Bartell had been obtained from the Phillies in a SIOO.OMI player and cash deal, and that in addition four new minor league stars had been bought. | Thus, the Gl»nt« already have spent about $115,000 in cash preparing for the 1035 National ■ league pennant race. Secretary Jim Tierney, speaking | for President Charles A. StoneI ham. made the announcement. It was received with considerable surprise by liaseball followers who recalled that the regime of Memphis Bill Terry has been notorious for penny pinching. Terry is the chap who guided his dub to the 1933 pennant after reaching an all-time new low for metropolitan player purchases, spending only $15,00(1 for both

Blondy Rvnn and George Davis. And before losing the pennant this season, he spent less than that for new faces. Such economy, combined with a successful team, enabled the Giants to make n net profit of $99.(M»0 for 1933. und more than s2<kl.iWlo for 1934 Bartell is considered the most aggressive and one of the most capab’e shortstops in the circuit. The Giants gave President Gerry Nugent of the Phillies an estimated $50,000 cash payment anil four players valued at $50,000. The four Giants who will go to the Phils are Blondy Ryan ami Johnny Verge*, infielders: George Watkins, outfielder, and John Peztullo. u rookie right handed pitcher at Richmond and Nashvi’le last season. The four minor league stars purchased are shortstop Billy Mevcrs of the Columbus A A club, Norman Masters, southpaw pitcher from Crookston. Minn , of the Northern league, and Frank Galder. right handed pitcher, and Albert Cuccinello. second baseman. both of Nashville. Tierney emphasised that Stoneham had given Terry a free hand in rebuilding the Giants and that he could spend up to $259,000 in doing so. He said Stoneham expected another championship team in 1935. Bartell will replace Travis Jackson at short—not because Jackson fell down on the Job last season, but because "Stone-wall" is need ed at third where he is a tower of strength. Bartel', who will be 27 on Nov.

22. has been in the major leagues seven seasons. He came up from rtridgeport to Pittsburgh In the 1927 campaign. Before the 1931 season ho shifted to the Phillies He is an excellent fielder, a fust base runner anti he hit .310 during the season. .. o —— ASSOCIATES NOT TO BLAME FOR DOWN FALL ,('<>NTlNl'nr> FROM PAGE GNEI obtain freedom by directed verdicts of acquittal.

Edison und the great Inventor's friendship for him. hisull broke down with sobs. The 74 year old defendant s blanket exoneration of those on trial with him had an amazing effect on the jury. They looked at each other with pu*z.led expressinns. Insull's attorney, Floyd E. Thompson, had asked him how lie selected the young executives with whom he surrounded himself and the white-haired witness replied: “1 can answer that best by drawing your attention to these other defendants."
