ELMER LAYDEN I ELECTED COACH I FOR ALL-STARS Notre Dame Mentor To Guide All-Star Foothall Team Chicago. Aug. * — (U.R) -Rimer Layden of Notre Deme laid himself open today to 'he meanest | jinx In football by accepting the offer of six million fans to conch an all-star team against New York's world champion Giants the night of Aug. 30. One thing about thia jinx—nobody escapee. Misfortune caught up with all five of Myden's predecessors the season after each served as all-star conch, and every national league champion that buck-<-d the all-stara for charity lost its world title In the spot cash league before the year was out. Layden may fare better than the others. He had the best Notre Dame team last season since the golden day* of Rockne and early reports from the Irish capital say there I* more where that came from and “look out Southern California.'' I'. S. 0. scored the only upset In nine games against Notre Dame last fall. Elected with Myden were four assistants from the big ten. the east, south and far-weat. Harry Stuhldrehr of Wisconsin, a teammate of Myden in Notre Dome's famed four horsemen backfield of 15 years ago. Carl Snavely of Cornell. Maj Bob Neyland of Tennessee and Edward P. (Slip) Madigan of St Mary's will greet a squad of «* college players next Saturday for the first of 13 days' preparation. Notre Dame backers In every section of the country rolled in Into the lead after the first batch votes for Myden and he moved was counted. His total of 5.127.333 points Included 1.347.916 first place Votes. Stuhldreber was second In total points, but barely defeated Mai Elward of Purdue for the one coaching job allotted the Western conference Stuhldreber had 2.42 k. 150 point* to Elward's 3.743.663. Lynn Waldorf of North western. Dr. Eddie Anderson of lowa and H O. t Frits i Crtoler of Michigan were among the Big Ten leaders. In the east. Snavely finally won out over another of the Notre Dame horsemen — Jimmy Crowley of Fordham Snavely polled 1.1*0.907 to Crowley's 434.47*. I hick y Pond of Yale and Columbia's la.u Little were next in Hur. but (ar behind the leaders. Maj. Neyland. who brought the Orauge Bowl <h«.n|>k>tiship to Tenneaaee, swept the south by more than a million points Ills organised vote* totalled 1.496.335 to 216.for Dana Bible of Texas and 145.30 k for Bernie Moore of lamialana Slate. Far west voters fell In line with Slip Madigan over Tiny Thornhill of Stanford and Buck Shaw of Santa Claga. Madigan drew 644.275 points. Thornhill 565,564. aud Shaw 440.375. Thia will be the fourth aeaaon the Notre Dame style of play haa been selected for the All-Stars. Noble Kiser of Purdue gained a scoreless tie with the Irish system In the opener against the Chicago Bears In 1434. Frank Thomas of Alabama loot to the Bears with It the following year, and Gus Doraia of Detroit beat the Detroit Lions in 1437. - ■■■ 4 - HOME RUNS Foxx. Red Box .................. 37 Ott.

Aug. 8 <U.R> - Men have been driven crasy by much simpler things than managing the i ! Brooklyn baseball duh Yet lxn> ' ' Durocher. after tour months at the ( I Job. is wearing no Napoleonic ' cocked hats, planning mo perpetual motion machines, and. to tell the truth, appears entirely sane He has not allowed the daffleat of all baseball setups to unloosen as much as one holt In his mental machinery. With remarkable detachment he has worked with such ‘ problem children as Van Lingle; Mungo and Roots Poffenberger. , listened to the round-thedock . babbling of larry MacPhall. and I handled that border line specimen, the Ebbela field fan. Ihtrocher has not only handled i ’ the club aS manager without adding a line to bls face or a gray | hair to his head, but he has played , on It to the Improvement of his, own game He is hitting as well PT better than he ever did In the major leagues and hla fielding la ' aa flawless as that of any man who l patrols the hot sector between second and third No one ever egpected such re-1 suits of the man they call l<eo the Lip. As a player flrat with the Yankees. then with the Cards, and finally with the Dodgers, be was a man to give plenty of anas and ■ take none He gave no indication, with hla boiling temper and unI flagging aggressiveness, that he i could handle a tram of men and i make them like U. Rut here he Is todsy doing one of the best msnsgerlal Jobs In the league, and In one of the toughest spots With a team that not even the relatives of the players on It would call great, he Is running neck and neck with clubs bet(er equipped, snd gunning with l»oih barrels for one of the better i . berths In the first division. Interviewed yesterday shortly 'upon his return from s western ; trip that saw the Dodgers play i better than 500 ball. Leo was | wesrlng s diamond tie clasp given him by hit players after the series In Cincinnati. He modestly disclaimed any credit for the Dodgers' successful Journey "It’s no trouble managing the

(team I've got." he said "Everybody says we are a screwy bunch, but all we do fs hustle and try on every pitch. I don't look worried, do I? I don't have any trouble with any man on the team." Ix*o gave coach Charley Dressen credit for his own Improved hitting. Once known as the all American out. Durocher hit the ball at a .333 clip in the west and Is crowding 3tM» for the season. “Charley is the best one I ever saw for tipping a pitcher's mitt. He tells me what's coming and I ' swing He told me before the season started that he'd boost my average 40 points slid he has done It." Durocher gets Indignant when any one attempts to belittle the efforts of MacPhall. president and general manager of the Brooklyn. “Hell. Larry's got more Ideas than anybody In the league He made the Reda when he was in I Cincinnati and he's making Brooklyn. Whai do they pay off on in baseball? You know, what comes In through that gate. The dough, fill other words Well We've lllready drawn lietter than 'Ou.ooo ' at home thia season, and last year | we didn't do much more than that * all season And we still have some 20 home games to play. I don't know if I'll be around to manage the team, but MacPhall'll have a pennant winner In Ebbeta i field before long " Ixh> denletl at>B i>lana to try to get Joe Medwick from the Cards and said that hla penthouse ren--1 detvoud with Joe In 8t Louis was purely a aoclal visit.
