LACKING IN TEAM WORK
XI. T. II. S. MADE A POOR SHOWING AGAINST THE MEDICS. Central College Won ljr a Score of 11 to O-Shortrldge Will riay Taicola. Team Saturday. The Manual Training High School football leven demonstrated In lta game yesterday afternoon tat Washington park against the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons that It will have to show wonderful Improvement during the next two weeks to have even a "look In" In the annual championship game with Shortrldge to he played on Thanksgiving afternoon- Training School went down to defeat at the hands of the Medics by a ecore of 11 to 0 the came ecore that Shortrldge piled up against the Medics a short time since. A third touchdown was made by Cooper, for the Medics, toward the close of the second half, but It was not allowed because Umpire Hall- claimed that Arnold, the Medics' right end held a Training School player in the scrimmage In which Cooper broke through for a touchdown. The work of the Training School eleven was a disappointment to the members ' of the team and the supporters of the school. While It may be true that the medical men played a stronger game against Training School , than they did against Shortrldge, and the line men were stronger on both offense and defense It does not excuse the red and white players for their lack of systematic team work. Training School Is In a weakened condition because of tho absence of a few of the regular men from the line. The red and white boys have been unfortunate in sustaining severe injuries In their games and also In practice and efforts to develop team work have been jreatly handicapped. Bonham, Dow and T. Shldeler were out of the game and the Training School line, both on defense and offense, worked through the game like a snip. without a rudder. The line must be .rfaily lengthened, there must be a decided improvement in forming interference as well as breaking up the interference of the opposing eleven, and there must be more concerted efforts on the part of the entire elev If the old red and white that has occui d such a prominent place in interschol&stic athletics is to make even a respectable showing against Shortrldge in the big game. The tram should not quit and become discouraged because a few men have been hurt, for the chances are that all of the best men will be in condition to play pn Thanksgiving, but Coach Orme should Instil new life into the men and induce them to play with more snap and ginger. They come very far from being aggressive. ' LACK OF TEAM WORK. In the game against the Medics the Training School displayed a woeful lack of team work, while the line was battered Into mall fragments by the doctors. Only a few times did the Training School succeed In holding the Medics, showing weakness in breaking up the Interference of the opposing team. On offensive plays Training School failed to form Interference and the work waa low, thus giving the Medics a chance to make substantial gams through the line around the end or on trick plays. Both teams fumbled many times. A few of the Training School men played and Hill showing the best work. The Medics, as a team, surpassed the high school lads and individually Cooper, Hawley and Wood played the best game. .jRinlI.,?.nce ,durln the game did the red and white players come near scoring and that was near the close of the first half when they worked the ball down to Med--les ten-yard line and Instead of trying line EX?.J?th WhlSh substantial gains had toHtd tor a few minutes, they resorted nf runs nd wre held for two downs. Saunderson then tried a drop kick for goal and the Medics blocked the ball The first the ball on their own twenty-yard line. Neither team scored during the first half hough both goals had befn In danger. ' The Medics went into the second half showing more aggressiveness, while Training School showed weakness. Training School kicked off to Hawley. who made I good return. The Medics played fast Sill and rapidly advanced the oval by gains of four and. five yards at a time until Training School s fifteen-yard line was reached. Training School seemed bewildered and could not stop the onslaught or break up the Interference. Cooper carried the ball rasa Ä!ryo.missed EoaiCOOPER'S LONG RUN. The Medics kicked off to Duggan, who returned the oval to tho twenty-five-yard line. Krug- tried a quarter back run and lost several yards. M. T. H. S. then punted to their fifty-yard line. The Medics resorted to line-bucking and advanced the ball fifteen yards. Cooper then broke through the line nd warding off all tackles, made a thirty-flve-yard run for a touchdown. Cooper kicked goal. Medics, 11; Training School, 0. . Cooper kicked orf to Saunderson, who returned the oval to the twenty-eight-yard line. Training School lost eight yards on an attempted quarter back run. M. T. H. S. made dismal attempt to punt and the Medics secured the ball. The oval was advanced to the thirty-yard line and Cooper on a double pass carried it over for a touchdown. Umpire Hall claimed that Arnold held and the score was not allowed. The Medics were penalized fifteen yards Training School made a stand and rushed the ball toward the Medics' goal. Duggan tried a place- kick from the thirty-yard line, but failed. The remainder of the game was played in the dark with neither side gaining an advantage. Line-up and summary; . Central P. & S. Position. M. T. H. S. A.9h?ur. ..Left end H.

Shortrldare Team Ha a Hard Game for Next Saturday. Manager Tuck, of the Shortrldge High Bchool team, yesterday made arrangements for a game with the Tuscola, III., High School eleven to be played at Tuscola next Saturday. Tuscola has one of the strongest high school teams in eastern and central Illinois and it has not met defeat this season. Shortrldge players believe that a victory over Tuscola would give them more honor than over any high school team in the Statt and they will work hard to win. It will be the last game before the annual contest with Training School. The team will leave Friday for Tuscola. The second Shortrldge team will play at Knlghtstown on Saturday. Captain Clark's right eye was badly injured in yesterday's practice, but the inJury will not keep him out of the game. The blue and white captain has more grit nnd nerve in his stocklly built frame than nine out of ten players and he will be In the game if there is n possible chance Gipe and Payne are still laid un from Injurie teceived in Saturday's game, but thy will b aole to play In the contest with Tuscol;. Coach Brewer U bHns assisted by Harry Wells, a former ShortrMsre guard aud luhr of Purdue, and Vlterftouse, a former Shortrldge end. The blu and white team is being drilled into excellent shape and everything will be done to have the team working in perftct order for the game with Training School. Several of the Shortrldge men desired to see the game yesterday.
but Captain Clark would not excuse them, as he desires to have all of them at practice regularly. CLARK WILL EXTER I. V.
Shortrldge Captain Will Cast Ills Fortunes with State Team. Captain Clark, of the Shortrldge team, who has won much praise through his work in high school games, may be a member of Indiana University's strong team next season. Clark will graduate next spring from Shortrldge and he I being urgej by Coach Brewer, a former Indiana man, to attend that university next season, and Clark has practically decided to enter Indiana. It Is believed he would have little trouble making the team at Indiana. MAY ABOLISH THE RULE BIG LEAGUES TALK OF ELIMINATING THE FOUL STRIKE. President Johnson Is Jinking a Canvac of Owner In HI Lcagnt Phillips Well Pleased. CLEVELAND, Nov. 10. Ban Johnson, president of the American Baseball League, was in this city to-night to learn the views of the Cleveland club owners as to whether the fou! strike should be abolished or not. The Cleveland owners are opposed to the rule. Johnson said that the majority of the American League owners are also opposed to it, and at a meeting of the American League in Chicago next month a committee will be appointed to confer with a National League committee with a view to its elimination from next year's games. Johnson said that he had the assurance of National League magnates that if the rule were found objectionable to the American League teams the National League would agree to a return to the conditions of previous years. Johnson returns to Detroit to-morrow morning. PHILLIPS HAS SIGNED. Cincinnati Pitcher Will Manage the Indianapolis Team. Charles F. Ruschaupt, president of the Indianapolis Baseball Club, who is In Pittsburg, telegraphed last night to the sporting editor of The Journal as follows: "I have made arrangements with William C. Phillips to manage the Indianapolis team. He was pleased when I gave him the names of the players we had for next season." The announcement that Phillips would manage the Indianapolis team was made several days ago, but at that time there had been no conference between the president and manager regarding the plans for the coming season. Phillips knew little about the make-up of the team for next season until he had conferred with Ruschaupt. WILL PLAY BASKETBALL IIIGn SCHOOLS, BUTLER AND Y. M. C. A. REORGANIZE LEAGUE. Candidates for the Tarlom Teams The Season Will Open on Dec. ID Schedule of Games. Representatives of the Shortrldge, Manual Training High School, Butler College and Y. M. C. A. basketball teams met at the Y..M. C. A. last night and perfected a basketball league for the coming season, which will consist of the four teams named. Captain Ryland Pratt represented the Shortrldge five, while Captain Louis Bohnstadt acted la the same capacity for the Training School team. Manager Hardin represented the Y. M. C. A. team and Butler was represented by Will Longley. Many of the players on the Training School and Shortrldge teams are eligible to play on the Y. M. C. A. five when the latter team plays any team except the two high schools. Captain Bates's team has the advantage over the other teams 'as no other team can draw on the Y. M. C. A. five either in or out of town. It was decided to have three officials at the games between the Shortrldge and M. T. H. S. teams Instead of two, which formerly has been the case. All games between the two high schools will be played in the Auditorium Rink, while the others will be played in the Y. M. C. A gymnasium. The Shortrldge and Manual Training High School fives may play a double-header against the Rose Polytechnic and Indiana State Normal teams at Terre Haute early in January. The exact date has not yet been arranged, but will be announced in a few days. The captains of the four teams have excellent material from which to develop winning fives. Many of last season's stars will be back in the game, and it is very probable that some new candidates will make the older players hustle for places on the teams, as all are practicing hard. The different teams have the following players trying for places: Shortrldge Ryland Pratt, captain; Gipe, McKInney, Palmer, Shank, Clark, Connor, Payne, Buser, Aronson, Allerdlce, Schoen, Doudlcan, Riddle. Pray, Sheets and Falley. Butler Leslie Anthony, captain; Longley, Kingsbury, Dodson, Murray, Blair and Davenport. M. T. II. S. Louis Bohnstadt, captain; Dlddel, Spohr, Ayers, Dow, Duggan, Cullen, Saunderson. Wheeler, Guedel, White, Coughlin. Gronlnger and Gaston. Y. M. C. A. Charles Bates, captain; Reeves, Hester, Prltchard, Mehring, Haas, Harding. Bohnstadt and Pratt. A playing schedule was arranged last night for the coming season, and was adopted without change by the representatives of the four teams that will compose the league. The schedule is as follows: Dec. 12 Shortrldge vs. Y. M. C. A. M. T. H. S. vs. Butler. Dec. 19 Shortrldge vs. Butler. M. T. H. S. vs. Y. M. C. A. Jan. 8 M. T. H. S. vs. Shortrldge. Y. M. C.

The entire Shortrldge football team will try for places on the team and five of the Training School eleven are also in to win honors for their school. Hard practice will start Immediately at the close of the present football season, and the players will be in good shape before the opening game, which will be played on Dec. 12. MANCIIUS WON EASILY. Defeated the Toreador Five by n Score of 21 to 7. The Manchus and Toreadors, two "frats" of the M. T. H. S. June, 1904, class, played a fast game of basketball last night at the gymnasium of School 15. the Manchus winning by a score of 21 to 7. A large crowd of spectators was present, prominent among whom were the Tredeclmltes, a sorority of the same class. Ayres played his usual good fcame, while West showed up best forthe bull-fighters.

FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
INDIANA AND XOTI1E DAME MAY PLAY IN INDIANAPOLIS. Effortil Being; Made to Arrange a PostSeason Game Wabash Claim Are Not Taken Seriously. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Nor. 10. The 'varsJty team, after a. rest of two days following the Illino!3 game, has resumed practice. Dodson and Smith both have Injured knees which may keep them out of the game' for the season. This will be a serious handicap to the team, as there are no good substitutes to take their places. The work of the back field was somewhat slow in tho Illinois game, and a decided drop from the form shown while preparing for Purdue. It is felt here that while the work of the line against Illinois was of a very high order, yet if tho team, as a whole, had shown the form of the previous week that a much more decisive victory would have been the result. Coach Horne is now trying to arrange a post-season game with Notre Dame at Indianapolis to decide the State championship for 1903. The claims of Wabash are not taken seriously here, for, while Wabash has a good secondary team, they certainly do not class with Indiana or Notre Dame at this time in the season. The game with De Pauw next Saturday promises to be a hard one, as De Pauw otrt weighs Indiana ten pounds to the man, and Coach Berrien, of De Pauw, claims wonderful improvement for his team during the last few weeks. PLAYERS ARE DISGUSTED. Two Member of Rose Polytechnic Quit the Team. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Nov. 10. Two members of Rose Polytechnic's football team have withdrawn. Captain Bland, full back, and Dalley, at half, both because they are disgusted with the situation In which Rote has been placed this season. McBrlde, left end, has been selected as temporary captain and no doubt will be elected to that position permanently. Coach Holste says there will be no trouble in rilling the two places from the second team and he expects by Saturday to have a team fully as strong as Rose has been this year to meet Butler. The defeat by Franklin College Saturday was the hard dose for Rose. Franklin had been regarded as weak and Rose on showing should have won easily. Coach Holste says, however, that not only did Franklin put up a strong game, the strongest Rose has gone against this season, but that the official rulings were ail unfair toward Rose. PRACTICE OF NOTRE DAME. McGrew Ha Joined the Team and Stock Hn Gone Up. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOTRE DAME, Ind., Nov. lO.-To-day's practice was secret, but judging from the time the men were kept in Cartler Field the programme must have been long. The football stock has gone up as a result of McGlew's appearance to-day. He was laid up during the last few days with an injured shoulder and it was rumored that It would be impossible for him to be in the line-up Saturday. Though he did not remain through the full play to-day, his condition is improving and he is likely to be In good trim for Northwestern. The only man now causing anxiety is Nyere. who is still In the infirmary. Should he fall to report before Saturday Captain Salmon will have much difficulty in finding a satisfactory substitute for half. . BLIND MAN'S BLUFF. Terre Hnnte Basketball Team Is Practicing In a Dim Light. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Nov. 10.-Physlcal Director Dubrldge, of the Y. M. C. A., is giving his basket ball team practice at night with a dim light in the gymnasium. The reason for this is that the gymnasium of the Crawfordsville Y. M. C. A. is said to be poorly lighted and visiting players find themselves at a disadvantage. It is to overcome this possible disadvantage in the game to be played there next month that the Terre Haute team is practicing a sort of blind man's buff game. Game Ha Been Canceled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 10. Upon the request of the manager of the Hanover College football team, Manager Stout, of the Earlham College team, has canceled the game scheduled for Nov. 24. It is probable the Hanover team will disband this week. This action will be takem because of the recent death of Captain Shartkin. It is probable that Earlham will not fill the date as the game comes so close to the Thanksgiving game. FOR GRADUATE COACHES. Blc Change May Be Made at Illinois Next Year. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. URBANA, 111., Nov. 10. Graduate coaching at the University of Illinois is believed to be an assured fact as a result of the fiasco of the Illlnl at Bloomington last Friday. While nothing official has been given out, there Is no doubt that Illinois Is looking to Its alumni for coaches next year. About the rooters gatherings the Idea is talked about and favored. The names most prominently mentioned are Bob Hotchklss and Way Woody for the back field and Fred Lowenthal and Tom Beadle for the line. Clyde Mathews and Justa Lundgren are men who will also be considered. The graduate coaching plan will likely stand or fall by the result of Saturday's contest with the giant Gophers. Should the Illlnl xipset every calculation and defeat Minnesota, the face of things might change. But no man with a sane mind can see how Illinois can beat one of the best teams in the West, as Minnesota has a right to be considered. The Illlnl resumed practice on Illinois Fie'd last evening. Determined to make a good showing against Minnesota and retrieve In some measure the Indiana defeat, the orange and blue men worked with a will. In response to a request from Coach Woodruff. Way Woody and George Mattis came out to assist in bracing the team. Thy devoted themselves to the backfleld. Coach Woodruff is making no recriminations When he signed his contract he expressed a willingness to take all blame if the team failed and he Is not hedging. Woodruff made another change when he shifted big Hazelwood back to center. It Is believed the big fellow will be kept there INDIANAPOLIS TEAM'S CENTER O. COQGSUALU

Defeats Joe Wnlcott In Fast FifteenRon nd Contest. BOSTON, Nov. 10. Sandy Ferguson was given the decision over Joe Walcott to-night after fifteen rounds of fast, clean fighting before the Criterion Athletic Club. Ferguson showed superior form, and the decision met with general approval. Dritt Defeats Sieger. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 10. In a fast twenty-round fight here to-night Jimmie Brltt. the California lightweight, won the decision from Sieger, the Eastern fighter. In the early rounds neither man showed an advantage, but in the last few rounds Brltt's cleverness gained him the decision. Style to Qnlt In Fight. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. "Jimmy" Handler, of Newark, N. J., and "Cyclone" Kelly, of San Francisco, met to-night at the Southern Athletic Club in what was to have been a six-round bout, but Handler quit in the third round. Up to that time his opponent had much the better of the bout. Baddy Ryan Won Decision. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 10. Buddy Ryan, of Chicago, got the decision on points over Gus Gardner, of Springfield, Mass., at the end of a six-round bout before the Badger Athletic Club to-night. ACTION AGAINST BONNER JOCKEY SUSPENDED FOR CUTTING ACROSS THE FIELD. Hay-ward .Hunter Wa First In the Mlle-and-a-Hnlf Featnre at Latonla Four Favorite Won. CINCINNATI. Nov. lO.-Th mile and a half was the feature at Latonia to-day. It was an exciting affair throughout and was won by Hayward Hunter, the favorite. He got off last and ran around his field and was going away from the others at the finish. Jockey 8. Bonner, the best at the track, has been suspended for making a practice of cutting across the field in nearly every race in which he rides. Favorites won four out of the six events.

NOW HOLDS ALL RECORDS
DAX PATCH LOWERED ONLY PACING MARK AGAINST HIM. Clipped a Quarter of a Second Off Prince 'Alert's llalf-MUe-Track Record Cresceus Failed. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 10. Dan Patch raced a mile on a half-mile track here this afternoon In 2:03V4. lowering the only world's record for pacers outstanding against him. The record previous to this wa3 2:03, held by Prince Alert. Cobweb, the runner that paced Dan Patch, faltered on the turn Just before entering the stretch and but for this Dan Patch probably would have made the mile in less than 2:u3. The official time by quarters was :3ü&. 1:01, With the exception of a slight breeze blowing down the stretch the weather was ideal. The track was hard and fast. CRESCEUS WAS LAME. Failed to Lower Record for 31 He on Ilnlf-Mlle Track. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 10. In what was heralded as his last public appearance on the turf, Cresceus to-day failed In his effort to lower the world's trotting record of 2:08 for a mile on a half-mile track held by himself, going the distance in 2:12U on the Kansas City Driving Club's track. The conditions were unfavorable for record time, and at request of George H. Ketcham, owner and driver of Cresceus, the judges announced before the trial against time was begun that the crowd must not expect to see the record broken. The track was not to Mr. Ketcham's liking, being a little cuppy, and the wind was blowing a gale from the west, but the most discouraging conditions for fast time was the fact that Cresceus was suffering from a slight lameness, due. It is said, to his recent experience In a wreck. The time by quarters: :33, 1:06. l:3S?i, 2:12V4. Bis Prices at Lexington Sale. LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 10.

If King Direct Is raced next year It will be in Geers's stable. . Harvard's share of the receipts Saturday was nearly $11,000. The American Register Association will investigate that 1:59)4 mile of Cresceus. The big game of the West next Saturday will be that of Michigan and Wisconsin at Ann Arbor. Lajoie, Hickman, Bemls, Moore and Joss are the two-year contract players of the Cleveland club. No man at Harvard tries for the position held by the captain of the eleven. The same is not true at Yale. ! They are advertising some unknown as the "Billy Buck of 1904." It is good betting there will be no Billy Buck of 1904. His kind does not happen often. They are going to cut the abandoned Lakeside track Into streets and town lots. Racing is therefore a thing of the past at Lakeside. A prominent Yale man, who saw Harvard and Pennsylvania play, said after the game: "If Harvard had met Yale to-day she would have been, beaten 24 to 0." - Champion Jeffries says that although Munroe defeated Maher he has by no means showed that he was entitled to a match for the heavy-weight championship. Pittsburg will get rid of Harry Smith. He was offered to the Reds not many moons ago. Like Billy Maloney, he was a brilliant in Class B and a shine In fast company. Jack Munroe's victory over Peter Maher will probably result in the Butte miner receiving numerous challenges from the other big fellows. The fighters who would like some of the Munroe game are "Kid" Carter, Joe Choynskl, Marvin Hart, Jack Root, Hank Griffin and "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien. Munroe's next fight will probably be with Sandy Ferguson, the Boston heavy weight. The Criterion Athletic Club of Boston has made them an offer. The earnings of Cresceus,. 1:59, In the stud and on the turf during the season aggregate close to 530,000. He earned $19,500 in the stud, and his ten" exhibitions in the West. Including his marvelous mile in 1:59 at Wichita, Kan., aggregate a trifle over $10.000. When Mr. Ketcham was offered $100.000 for Cresceus last winter by a Canadian gentleman, some of his friends advised hira to sell, but his earning capacity this season Indicates that Mr. Ketcham's price, $12i,000, was very reasonable. LODGED SERIOUS CHARGE. Lawyer Arrested on Accusation of Attempting to Bribe State Witness. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Samuel Leibovitz. a lawyer, has been arrested by detectives attached to the. staff of District Attorney Jerome, charged with attempting to bribe a State witness.

Detectives were secreted in her home and when Leibovitz appeared again, it is alleged, he offered her $25 to testify under his direction. Pleaded Gallty to Peonage. BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Nov. 10. L. A. Grogan. William Joiner, L. L. London, J. McDaniel and F. M. lYuitt. of Dadeville, pleaded guilty In the United States Court here to-day to charges of peonage, and each was fined $1.000.

COGGSHALL IS IN SHAPE INDIANAPOLIS CENTER IS ANXIOUS FOR SEASON TO OPEN. McGlWray Will Be Next to Arrive, and Rest of Players Will Report This Week Polo News. Allie Coggshall, the well-known center of the Indianapolis polo team, arrived yesterday and registered at the Imperial Hotel. Mr. Coggshal was tired from his long journey, but announced that he Is in the best of condition and anxious for the opening of the season. McGilvray, the speedy second rush, will arrive to-day from Boston, and First Rush Pierce and Goal Tender Bannon will arrive the latter part of the week. Coggshall stated that the Eastern League was playing to poor crowds and said It was his opinion that the league would not finish the season, as but one of the six teams in the league was making expenses. The uniforms to be worn by the local team the coming season will reach here Saturday and the players will have their first practice in the new Auditorium rink on Monday. All that remains to be completed on the new rink is the final work on plastering the wainscoting. The arc lights, are already in place and the first game will be played as scheduled against the Richmond team on Tuesday, Nov. 17. The reserved seats for the first game of the- season will be placed on sale at Huder's drug store on Friday of this week, and all will doubtless be sold In a short 'time, as the fans are anxious to witness the first game of the 1903-1904 season. About one-half of the season books have been sold and from present indications all will be gone before the opening night. Coggshall and Captain Harry Way will take a five-mile run every morning the rest of the week to get their wind in shape. Both have built new skates this summer, and It will take several days to break them In after the first game is played. These two players may go to Anderson to-morrow to practice In the Anderson rink. Dicky Pierce, first rush. Is expected on the same train with Goal Tender Bannon. When these two players arrive the team will be complete, if McGilvray and Kerrigan arrive to-day, as scheduled. The latter will play the utility position the coming season, and is said to be a fast man. Captain Way and Allle Coggshall were the most popular players on the Indianapolis team last season, and the fans are jubilant over the fact that they have been re-signed by the local management. Pierce and McGilvray are too well known in polodom to need any comment here, and Kerrigan Is certainly fast or he would not have been signed by Captain Way. THE BANNON CONTROVERSY. ' Evidence Shows that the Player Belongs to Indianapolis. Captain Way, of the Indianapolis polo team, claims that he opened negotiations with Goaltender Bannon last June to play in Indianapolis, and in September he received a letter from Bannon saying that he would sign a contract to play in Indianapolis If Way would send It. If this Is the true state of affairs. It Is hard to see where the Lafayette Central 'League club has a just claim to Bannon's services. It Is claimed that Bannon was on Lafayette's reserve list before Indianapolis opened negotiations with the player. It Is known that Starkle was first signed to tend goal, and when It was learned that his eyes were affected it was agreed that Bannon should be signed. The player Is in dispute and Manager Cohen, of the Indianapolis team, has issued an ultimatum to the effect that Bannon shall play in Indianapolis or there will be no polo here. If Cohen is light In his contentions he has cause to feel that he is not being treated rUht in the matter by the Western polo officials, but should he be mistaken and Bannon was reserved by Lafayette before being signed by Indianapolis, It would seem that the best thing to do would be for the Indianapolis management to negotiate with the Lafayette club, as It Is known that Lafayette does not want the player, because he demands too high a salary, and Baugh. of Lafayette, has been quoted as saying that he Is holding out for his rights because the Indianapolis club has declared that It will have Bannon. It Cohen shows he signed Bannon before Lafayette .reserved nlm, the Western Leaxae and the Central League should not
