Indianapolis will be replaced on the independent football map this year by one of the strongest grid combinations that ever tramped a field in this section of the country, if the plans now on foot for the formation of an all-star eleven here go- through according to schedule. A1 Feeney, former Notre Dame university star, and Glen Klein and Joe Canning, a pair of Indiana's leading Independent players, are three of the most active men behind the movement, and they are confident that they can turn out an outfit that will bold Its own with anything In the western Independent fleid. Feeney will coach the eleven, having called first practice for Garfield park tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock. Aa 3 nucleus for his team he will have, with but few exceptions, the old K. F. M. eleven that had little trouble beating everything in Indiana for the state independent title In 1915. This lineup included such men as .Tack Ruddles, Chuck Helvie. Harry Smith, Harry Metzger, Click Klein. Phil Bornpteln, Tom Reinford. Ted Gels. Pat Fox, Joe Canning, Athey. Brady and Feeney himself. WILL HAVE HEAVY LINE Other men that Feeney has In line for the 1920 squad ore Johnny Yott, former Military player; Evans .Smith, brother to Harry; Dan Scanlon, a south side “big boy,” and Bob Spinner. The line of the eleven will border on the neighborhood of the 200-pound mark, Brady, Athey, Bornstein, Heivie, Kelnford, Ruddles, Scanlon, Fox, Spinner, Canning and Gels, the most likely candidates at this time, will easily reach that mark. Tlie backfield will be rather light, but shifty, as independent backs come. The Smith brothers are both light, but exceptionally fast, Harry being Tate-l among the best In the state. Metzger, half and fullback on the old K. F. 21. squad, may be used as a fullback this i year. Yott and Klein are quarterb. cits. Canning and Klein are arranging the business end of the deal. According to them, the team will play- games here and on the road. The first few games will be played away from home, then, if It looks as though Indianapolis Is ready to support a high-class eleven, an effort will be made to lease Washington park for the remainder of the season. Feeney is anxions to have every player report at the practice session at Gnrfleld park tomorrow morning, as they will swing into stiff work at the very start. Practice also, will be held two or three evenings during, gat’h week until the eleven rounds Into form.

MATERIAL AT SHORTRIDGE IS OF HIGH CLASS Plenty of Weight Among Big Squad of Candidates Trying for Football.COACH OUTLINES PLANS Dy HBZE CLARK. A quitter has no place on the Shortage high school football squad. This fact was made plain to thirty-six young football hopefuls yesterday afternoon by Coach Russell Julius, who sent his athletes through two and a half hours of hard practice at the high school athletic field near Falrvlew park. “The first man that even says he feels like quitting will go off of the sqnad,” declared the giant coach. As “Tubby” Julius gave his perspiring young athletes a minute In which to get fhelr wind back after doing a series of short sprints over the field and also the famous “duck waddle,” the Blue and White football players began to realize they were training for a man’s game and that their coach “knows his stuff” and will have no mercy on a man who quits. WORK LIKE THE BOYS OF OLD But there wero no quitters among the thirty-six and the boys worked Just like the husky sthletes of years ago who won many state championships on the gridiron for Shortrldge. This Is the first time sine* the season of 1907 that high school football has been enjoyed by the boys of the three Indianapolis schools. Manual Training and Technical High schools are reputed to have much larger squads than Shortrldge, but the Blue and White coach made it plain to his men yesterday that it was not the size of the squad that counted, but the man who doesn't quit who wins football gamei. “They can pat only eleven men on the field at one time, Just the same's* we can," declared Coach Julius, ‘and the men wli oare lu the best physical condition and don’t quit are the men who win.” The alumni of Shortrldge High school are showing an interest in what the boys are doing and each day some former gridiron star visits the practice field. Paul Hawkins, famous Shortrldge quarterback, who won the last gams between Manual and Shortrldge by a long, dodging run for a touchdown, told the Blue and White football men that the alumni were pleased that football bad been re-established in tha high schools and that they were also nleaseJ to see so candidates out for positions ou the touad. PLENTY' OF “BEEF” FOUND IN SQUAD. It was Just twenty years ego when ; the writer trotted out in football togs i to try for a position at halfback on the dhortridge High school team. Many peo nle say the boys were larger and huskier in those days and that the boys at' Shortrldge now are “such little kids I that they won’t make much of a football team, no matter who coaches them. That was Just whst the writer wanted j to find out—what kind of matarlal Coach : Julius has from which to build hU eleven. First, after giving the squad the "once over,” It must be said that there will be enoOgh weight st Shortrldge to develop a team that will equal any other hlga school eleven In the state. To be sure “Tubby” has a set of inexperienced young athletes, but here and there among those candidates : are boys who have played football at other high schools and who know the game- Around these Coach Julius will build bis eleven, using men who won honors In track and basketball for the north side school, in addition to the thlrty-alx men who worked yesterday, fifteen more are on the list to report Monday, and among thba number Is a boy named Sullivan, who la reputed to ; be a snappy, fast quarterback with much experience. The coach Is beginning the work of building a team In the right way—he la leaching the rudiments of tha game. He is showing tha athletes how to tackle, how to fall on the balk how to shoot a forward paaa, how to handle the football , generally, how to step In, kicking the : ball; how to straight arm and sidestep, and the many things that a player must know (o be a real football man. Monday the new equipment will be issued and 1 the players will get down to the hardest i kind of work. While the coach was Instructing some ; of bis players in the rudiments of .the fiatne, other players were working, shootng the bail across the field, kicking It and catching the pigskin. It was not difficult to pick out nie men who previi nusly had played football. Among these Shortrldge High school has -u "find” in James Ray The big boy played right tackle on the Columbia High school at Orange, N. J , last year and appears to be a real football player. Fletcher Lasby, a former Louisville (Ky.) Hale High school half back. Is at Shortrldge. and he i seems to have the speed and carries himself well. 4NOT lIKH BUTLER AFTER HONORS. Donald Irvin, a powerfully built bey, l ls after the canter position. There are any number of players who could be developed Into halfbacks and ends. Jimmy Butler, the younger brother of ttM (Amuus Michigan university quarter-mile runner, Harry Butler, la among this | number. Temple Smith, a fast runner, would go strong at quarter or halfback, i George Clark, who played halfback on an <>hlo high school team, will make some boy step to heat him to a backfield ! position Floyd Is another man who i should be tried at quarterback. William Cox, the youuger brother of the fßrnoua Wabash college athlete, lacks experience In football, but might fit In well at fullback or end, for he has height and speed. Harold Caldwell, well known aa a basketbal 1 player, la wearing football toga. Richardson ts another 1 young athlete who gives slgua of making good on the team. Harvey, a big, curlyhaired boy, would make a good tackle for he has the build to play that position. Heber Taylor should prove to be n fact backfield man. While the Shortrldge schedule is far from being complete, still It will start Oct. 2. and a game with Wilkinson High school on the local gridiron probably will be the opener. The team may play Richmond High school at Richmond Oct. 15 or 1(3. Shortrldge will play j Wabash High school at Wahash, Ind., , Oct. 29. This will be the first time Shortrldge has met Wabash since “Red" Milliner, the star Wabash High school , half-back, defeated Shortrldge In 1901. i Shortrldge meets Manual Training j High school Nov, 12 and will close It* season Nov. 24. the day before Thanksgiving. when Coach Julius’ team meets the Technical High school eleven.

Big League Stuff | After the cards Nad scored three In the first ot the eleventh the Dodgers staged one of the greatest rallies ever palled In Ebbetts field and bunched five hit* for tha necessary four runs te win. The Pirates found the Phillies easy and the Tigers surprised themselves by taking two from the Athletics. Speaker put almost every one but the bat boy In the lineup yesterday, but he couldn t get a combination that would rattle Shawkey, and the Yankees won easily, thereby staying in the American league race for today, at least. Ruth’s home run yesterday makes it necessary for him to get only two more to reach the half-century mark record that may stand for all time. • The White Sox have Schang to thank for their victory over the Red Sox. The Boston catcher's bad throw in trying to make a double play allowed two men to score. Ruth’s forty-eighth 1920 homer came in the first Inning at Cleveland yesterday. He first crashed a line foul and then let a slow curve go for a second strike. A foul tip followed, and then with the count two and nothing, Caldwell, the Cleveland pitcher, changed his tactics and tried to slip a fast one over. Ruth met it squarely and it sailed high over the right center field fence and landed in Lextngtoa avenue. Plpp scored ahead of him.

INDIANS CLOSE AT LOUISVILLE AND MOVE EAST Game Today Last With Colonels, After Which Tribe Goes to Toledo. FRIDAY FRAY TAKEN LOUISVILLE, Sept. 11.—Indians and Colonels were to meet for the last tlmfi this season today and, *hough the locals hare the edge on the aeries stowed away, the Hooslers were none the less determined to grab the final brush. Following the battle with McCarthy’* outfit this afternoon the Tribesmen pack up and beat it for Toledo, where they will engage the Hens in a windup series opening tomorrow. Three days will be spent in Toledo and then the Hoosiers will hustle home to meet the Washington Americans Wednesday and to start their last home stand. The Tribe spirits were brighter today, following the 6 to 3 victory over the Colonels Friday and Manager Hendricks believed his athletes would produce another win this afternoon. George Gaw and Frank Graham hooked up on the mound and though Gaw had some trouble, his mates plugged away at Graham enough to keep George out in front. Butch Henllne broke Into the limelight with four hits and a sacrifice out of five trips to the plate. The youthful Tribe catcher certainly went big and he was stepping high around the hotel | lobby last night. This Is Better 1 Indians. AB. R. H/0. A. E.
