FANS COUNTRY OVER PAUSE AS BIG BASEBALL SERIES GETS UNDER WAY IN BROOKLYN
CITY AMATEUR GRIDIRON LOOP TO BE FORMED Recreation Department Taking Steps to Put Game on Higher Plane Here. MEETING NEXT WEEK TMrst steps toward organization of the 1930 Indianapolis Amateur F •-tt*all League will be taken at a meeting to be held in the council chamber of the city hall, Thursday evening. Oct. 14 The league will be open to all amateur teams in Indianapolis coming under the 150pound weight limit. R. Walter Jarvis, director of recreation. stated today that he is in receipt of several requests for organization of the league from managers of various teams in the city and prospects for a fast loop are bright The Ferndales copped the championship of the league last season, defeating the Military ele\en in the final game at Brookside l’ark. All games played in 1919 wene well conducted and witnessed by large crowds of amateur sport boosters. Jarvis announced today that the champions of the 1930 league will be awarded a team trophy and each member of the team will be aw-rded a gold medal by the recreation department. The recreation department is laying off football fields at each of the municipal parks, and within two weeks everything will be in shape for the accommodation of twenty le-gue teams. These fields will be rope.l off to keep the crowd well out of the way of the players, police protect! ;i will be provided and the recreation department will secure efficient officials for each contest. It Is also planned to carry out last season’s stunt of furnishing coaches fontbe various elevens In the association. Last year several former college and university stars were appointed by the recreation department to "attend the practice drills of each team in the loop at least once a week and give the youngsters pointers on the finer points of the game. The work of these men brought about a big Improvement in the play of the amateurs before the season closed. .. „ There were eight clubs in the football league last season, but Jarvis has already heard from more than that number of managers desiring to play this year and It is probable that the league this year will be divided into two or three sections, according to the weight of the players. At the dose of the playing schedule the champions of these sections will clash in the city title series.
IN CONFERENCE GRID CAMPS
INDIANA. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. s—Undaunted by the loss of Its first game, Indiana went to work Monday with a determination to work all the harder for the rest of the battles on the conference chart. Next Saturday the last home contest will be staged with Mississippi A. and M., and the coaches expect this to be a tough battle. Minnesota, Northwestern, Notre Dame and Purdue are yet to be met and by the time these games roll around the weak places as repealed in the Hawkeye contest will have been strengthened.

He lectured his men on the weaknesses disclosed in the contest and told taem they would stand little chance against Chicago next Saturday unless they speeded up and showed more fight and determination. The back field came in for the greater share of attention. The backs were instructed in interference and they practiced the forward pass. Next Saturday's line-up against the Maroons probably will be about the same as that used in the De I’aujr game. r MICHIGAN. ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. o.—Minus several regular linesmen, the Michigan varsity Scored a 16-to-0 victory over the scrubs. The varsity lined up with Dunn.

BROTHERS MEET IN SERIES
For the first time in the history of baseball two brothers will oppose each other In the current world's series. They are Jimmie Johnston, third baseman and all-around player of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and “Doc” Johnston, the hardhitting first baseman of the Cleveland Indians. “Doc” leads bis brother In bat-
freshmen used Minnesota plays Monday In their scrimmage against the varsity. W'hen it became too dark for further practice outdoors about 7 o'clock Monday night, the coach ordered the men to eat and return to the gymnasium for “skull" practice. MINNESOTA. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oot. v s.—None of the Minnesota football players was Injured Saturday against North Dakota. A light signal drill was all Dr. Williams banded out to his regulars last night.. However, today one of the hardest scrimmages of.the week was on the program as a starter in the team’s preparation for Saturday's game with Northwestern at Evanston. Eddie Ruben, star fullback, was not in the signal drill Monday, and it is doubtful whether he will start against the Purple eleven Saturday.
Scandal Hasn’t Lessened Interest in 1920 Series
The baseball scandal non' being Investigated In Chicago aparently has not lessened the Interest In the present series. The fans are coming to believe i that the White Sox were just a bad bunch of money-hungry traitors, and that they stood alone In this respect. Every confidence Is felt In the absolute honor and Integrity of aii the members of the present contending teams, and there Is not the slightest suspicion of any manipulation. Changes may 'also be made at the flanks, Coach Williams having Intimated that he was not satisfied with the showing of Ekbery and Gwuge, whom he may replace with O'Brien and Weblon. WISCONSIN. MADISON. Wis., Oct. s.—Coach Richards of Wisconsin has called for more ' men to come out for football. Second string men who can give the varsity strong opposition ure needed. Practice and scrimmage this week will be directed toward the Ohio and Minnesota games, both of which are to be played away from home. Michigan Aggies come here next week and Northwestern plays at Randall the week after. ILLINOIS. URBAN A, 111. Oct. 5. —"lowa will be S hard team to beat," said Coach Zuppke Monday. "They've got some grand uthletes and they looked like a pretty good team against Indiana on Saturday. We’ve got to hustle to get ready for them.” The coach was a spectator of the lowa-lndlana battle and returned with first band knowledge of just what he must prepare for on Oct. 14, when Coach Jones brings his men to Illinois field. Ferndales vs. Brooksides A game that is attracting much attention among the football fans of the east and west ends of the city will be played at Ferndale Park, Pershing avenue and Crawfonlsville mad, Sunday afternoon, when the Ferndales open their regular scbednle against thq strong Brookside eJeven. The Ferndales, champions of the City Amateur League last year, are out to uphold their brilliant reputation this season and their followers are confident that they will make short work of the brookside combination. The Ferndale line-up of this year is practically the same as that of last year, and several weeks of hard training have put the players In the best of condition.
Knights Get Strong Men Manager Kj vanaugh picked up two strong men for Knights of Columbus eleven yesterday in "Red” Donovan and j Dick Ambrose, both members of the j Notre Darn? S. A. T. C. eleven. Donovan i will be stationed on the left wing i£> practice tomorrow night at Willard Park, while Ambrose will be given a shot at a guard job. For games with the K. of C. team address Leroy Kavanaugh, Indianapolis Council, Knights of Columbus. Ruth Likes Cleveland NEW YORK, Oct. s.—Prominent big leaguers today expressed their opinions regarding the world's series win- I ner. Babe Ruth, famous slugger, believes ] the Indians will win. John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, and bis assistant, John J. Evers, think Brooklyn will triumph. Joe Kelly, Yankee scout, while an American Leaguer, inclines to the Dodgers. Dodger Fans Ask Odds NEW YORK, Oct. G.—Cleveland was a 6-to-5 favorite'in the betting today for the world's? series honors. Brooklyn backers, however, were slow to take the offers, holding out for 7 to 5. Commissioners were offering even monejr on the first game, allowing the bettor the choice of his team. Inability to get anything definite on the batteries kept down tho betting on the opener. HARTFORD CITY FOOTBALL. 1 HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Oct. S. —The Hartford City Athletics’ footballXteam will mbet the Anderson Remys here Sunday. The Hartford City team suffered its first defeat last Sunday at the hands of the Kokomo American Legion team at Kokomo, 14 to 13.
ting, but Jimmie is a far better fielder. The playing of the two brothers probably will be watched more closely by the fans than any of the other contestants. “Doc" frequently Is withdrawn from the Cleveland lineup, however, when a southpaw i pitcher Is facing bis club, because he is not usually strong against the lefthanders.
De Pauw Gridsters * Open Training for Transylvania Game Buss Hunting Substitute for Quarter Back Norris—Seconds Scheduled to Play. GREENCABTLO. Ind., Oct. s.—Another week of hard practice was started by the De Pauw football team Monday afternoon on McKeen field in preparation for the game with Transylvania, which is to be played at Lexington (Ky.) next Saturday. With the exception of Norris, quarter back, all members of the De Pauw varsity squad were out in suits Monday afternoon. Although Purdue won the Saturday tilt, 10 to 0, fans admit the Tigers have some excellent material and expect .to hear good results from them. The great task of Coach Buss at present is to develop someone to dll Norris' shoes. He will be unable to play for two weeks because of a dislocated shoulder, received Saturday in the third quarter of the Purdue game. Norris will be a hard man to replace as this is his third year with the Tigers and he is thoroughly coached for his position as quarter back. Harold Galloway piloted the Tiger eleven through the remainder of the purdue contest following the injury to Norris and he may continue to hold the quarter position. Monday afternoon's practice consisted of a game between two team* picked from the varsity squad, the men who played in the Purdue game opposing those who did not and a short signal drill. ••Bill" Bryan, a heavy man trying out for full back, resumed practice Monday following a week's absence on account of injuries. Bryan has the weight and speed to make good in the position left vacant by the failure of "Llx" Burton to return to school. De Pauw’* second team Is scheduled to play the Merorn College eleven here Nor. 13. Coach Buss expects to uncover some good material by scheduling real games for the second string men.

Double century counts were nothing out of the ordinary In the Commercial Circuit last night. Bartlett’s pair of whopper blows and a good single game count by Moore sent the Bell telephone over the wire for a clean sweep over the Electric Sales. Snyder opened up with a poor one for the Link Belts, then came back for 204 find 206 in time to bring his club two wins. Snyder, Johnson and Goodwin had too much stuff for the Martiu-l’arrys and the Citizens Gas eased up a couple of spaces in the percentage column. Brown's 222 was the only creditable count registered by the Vonneguts and the Premiers got away with the last two games. Midwest Engines forfeited to the InterState cars. Mounts of the Nordyke & Marmon quintet stuck the Individual honors in his pocket by virtue of his 228 effort. He also had another double century, iton went big for one game with 917.

Sleepy Scenes Around Park as Fans Stand Vigil Throughout Night
NEW Y'ORK, Oct. s.—At an early hour this morning Charles H. Ebbets, the good, l gray squire of I-Tstbush, looked out of an office window at Ebbets field, where he j had been toiling through the night to i accommodate belated applicants for reserved seats. The squire was looking for favorable weather signs, but what his gaze encountered was a thin line of huddled forms extending down Cedar Place to the .ble-a/dher entrance. The inevitable j early birds were even then forming for j an assault that was not to take place until eight or ten hours later. young men claimed the distinc- : tion of being the first to knock at the j Ebbets field portala for general admission to the opening game of the world's ' v the Brooklyn and Cleveland teams today. They were all anxious . uies a.id addresses and stand for flashlight photographs. One, who carried a camp chair, said he was the first in line, but at au unguarded and sk-epy moment he was dispossessed and woke tip to find himself in the middle of the street. Activities within did not cease until long after the walls of Ebbets field were banked with sleepy fans, who held tickets for general admission to the $1 nnd $2. seats. Many of these same fans had stood" in line for hours yesterday awaiting their turn to purchase general admission. This > year there is to be no ticket hand out at the box offices on the day of the game, but as purchasers of the field seats will be acc'>minodated on the “first come, first served" plan, those anxious to grab choice locations when the gates opened lined up hours before the scheduled time j for the ticket takers to go on duty.

It all depends on them. We have a good club primed by a hot race. We didn’t have much time to rest so we’re still on edge. The boy* are all confident and I have faith in each one of them.
