STATE COLLEGE ELEVENS FACE SEVERE TESTS IN CONTESTS TOMORROW—BUTLER IN ACTION

PURDUE READY . TO GIVE OHIO SQUAD ACTION Scanlon's Athletes in Good Shape on Eve of Big Buckeye Battle. OTHER GRID GOSSIP LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 15.—A large crowd of enthusiastic rooters saw the Boilermakers off for Columbus last night for the annual battle with the Buckeyes. Coach Scanlon took twenty-seven of the best men that have been on Stuart field for several years, and should Purdue play the same game Saturday as they did last Saturday, minus the fumbling, Ohio should be defeated. The teem is well-balanced, having a fast back field and a line that can open up holes for the backs to go through. Calhoun, who dropped from the squad the first of the week, has returned and is with the team on the Ohio trip. Calhoun playeid full back, on the freshmen varsity last year. Merrill and Swank, who were hurt in scrimmage this week, made the trip. Purdue will line up Saturday with Carmen and Bendixon, ends: Captain Birk and Claypool, tackles; Swank and Cooley, guards; Stanwood, center; Don Fields, quarter back; Wagner and Rate, half backs, and Meeker, full. The remainder of the squad was composed of the following men: Beehler, Gully and McCoy, ends; Geyer, tackle; Merrill. Faust and Frazer, guards; Geiger, center; Abramson and Everman, quarter backs; Watson. Hanna, Murphy and Macklln, halt backs; Doug Fields and Calhoun, full backs. Three Indianapolis boys are in tin squad. Bari Wagner, former Tech star, Is now trying as a half back on the Boilermaker team. H. F. Geiger and C. W. Hanna are former Manual athletes who are holding down the jobs of substitute center and half back, respectively. Hanna, In the De Pauw game, kicked the first place kick for goal that has been made on Stuart field for a number of years. UTILB GIANTS OFF FOB CHICAGO. CBAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 15. The Wabash football team, twenty-five strong, left at noon today for Chicago, where, on Saturday, It will square off with the Chicago University eleven. The Little Giant athletes. along with Coaches Vaughan and Hufflne and college officials, were given a big pend-off. The big scrap Is the talk of the town. Many of the Scarlet followers are certain that Wabash will hold the Maroons to a lower i;ore than did Purdue, while there are quite a few of the • guessers” who say the Little Giants will at least tie Stsgg’s team or even beat It. Os course there seems to be little hope that

Center Closes Gates DANVILLE, Kj, Oct. 15.—Coach Moran Thursday refused admittance to spectators who would wateh Center College’* “miracle” team scrimmage. Greatest secrecy, he said, will be observed In practice from now on In preparation for the Harvard game at Cambridge Oct. 23, Center will play Transylvania Saturday. To date Center ha* rolled up 186 points, having played only two games. Morris Harney of West Virginia was defeated, 66 to 0, and Howard of

Wabash ■will come back with the bis end of the score tucked away, but to keep Chicago to a low count will mean a victory In the minds of the local fans. Coach Stagg of Chicago has stated that the Chlcago-Wabnsh scrap will be made an annual one If the Little Giant eleven Is able to show anything on the field and In the way of backing. The Wabash alumni at the Windy City are doing everything in their power to make the affair a success. Walter Eckersall, former Chicago University grid star, was here Wednesday to see how plans for the contest were progfessing. He was much impressed by the looks of the Scarlet team. Eckersall played against Wabash In 1004. at Chicago, and it was in that game that he was carried from the field on stretchers. He stated here Wednesday that he has always had a wholesome respect for the Little Giants.

ALBION INVADES TIGERS* CAMP. GREEXCASTLE, Ind.. Oct. 15—He Pauw’s Tigers had their claws sharpened to a razor edge and jwere prepared to tear their way through the Albion defense for a victory in their battle her. this afternoon. The 191 b Michigan championship team, however, is one capable of putting up a real scrap and the De Pauw men were expected to be used rather rough before the finish. Coach Husse’s men last night wound up tbelr practice with a signal drill, after which the mentorftnnounced his satisfaction with the appearance of his athletes and told them that they could put over the victory today by playing like they knew how. Albion arrived here last night and ran through a light signal drill on the Tiger field this morning behind closed gates. FOSE FAVORED _ OYER EARLHAM. RICHMOND, Ind.. Oct. 15—The'rather Surprising crew of Rose Poly footballers comes here tomorrow for action against Earlhanl, and the Earlham athletes are having a hard time keeping their daubers up with the faint ray of victory light that is trying to steal through the barricade of defeat darkness. Rose seems to be enjoying football success and the big totals they have been running up bide no good for the Earlhamltes. Both teams won their last week battles. Earlham defeated Wilmington, 35 to 0, and Rose Poly hung a 74 to 0 defeat on the Merom eleven. Earlham Is In good shape for the Saturday contest and will not admit defeat until the final tackle has been made. FRANKLIN MEETS HANOVER ELEVEN. HANOVER, Ind., Oct 15.—There Is nothing in the line of dope that should keep Franklin from lowering the colors of the Hanover ejgjren in the dust tomorrow. Hanover Is not playing the kind of football that should stop any ordinaryopponent this season. But where there is life there is a chance of surprise, and it Is possible that the Hanover warriors may register a fooler count tomorrow. Last week Hanoverswept the Butler Christians off their feet in their first Quarter, then lost their life. A week of hard drilling has brought about some improved features in their play and it may be that they can keep up their strong drive against Franklin. NOTRE DEAF TO NEBRASKA TALK. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 15.—Tomorrow’s football affair between Notre Dame and Nebraska was the big issue here today, and, with their fighting spirit seemingly crushed by their inability to swing into their proper stride and by the reports flowing Into their camp or the strength of the 1920 Irish combination, the Corn Huskers seem to be defeated before they even don their uniforms for the fray Saturdaf. This is something very unusual, as Notre Dame and Nebraska generally stage a real battle when they get together. Coach Schulte has been voicing his dissatisfaction with the teamwork of his men. Maybe he means this and maybe he doesn't. He points to low scores they have posted against weak teams as his proof. However, the old Notre Dame warriors and Coach Knute Rockne are paying no hied to this talk. He thinks Nebraska Is as good this season as ever before and that they have been “luying off” to slip bis men a beating and surprise. Which means .that Notre Dame will go on the field tomorrow with the same fighting spirit that Rockne would calj out if they were starting In a tilt for the world's gridiron championship.

YIEWS OF N. Y. SPORT WRITERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Some of the New York boxing writers who attended the Carpentler-Levlnsky fight Tuesday night sum it up as follows: Bob Edgren, Evening World—Carpentier makes an interesting and brilliant light-heavyweight champion. •• • The dashing Frenchman is easily king of the class. •** * . BUI Hicks, New York Journal—Carpentier slammed Levinsky all over the ring, and showed that he is a wonderful twohanded fighter with a kick that only has to meet the target to speU fi-n-l-s. • • • W. N. Jones, Globe—He vindicated to a large extent the enthusiastic claims of his disciples. He knocked out Battling Levlnskv in the fourth round. • • * Yet last night’s bout is no true indication of the ability of the Frenchman. While the Battler appeared to be in excellent phvsical condition, his mental processes were badly out of gear and not functioning properly. , , , Herbert Reed, Evening Post—The bigcrest percentage of the gathering, ana many were wise old-timers, was not

Rumors of *Frame 9 in Carpentier Bout Bring Quick Denials New Jersey Boxing Head Requests Critics to Produce Evidence , However. NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—1n the face of adverse criticism of their bout at Jersey City both Georges Carpentier and Battling Levinsky have today Issued statements denying rumors that the affair was prearranged. Chairman Smith of the New Jersey Boxing Commission also Issued a statement in which he declared his belief that the bout was fought on its merit*. Smith, however, has offered to hold an Investigation If certain persons who declared in the press that the fight was faked will consent to lay what proofs they may have before him. “Before I came to America,” said Carpentier In a signed statement, ‘T looked dipon all Americans as the personification 6f fair play; of sportsmanship In the true sense. In fact. I thought America was the land of the square deal. Tou went to war to ingure the world of fair play. I did all you asked me to do. I fought the man you selected for me to fight. And this Is what I get—the fight is called a fake. ‘‘Give me a square deal. That is ab I ask. r FOUGHT TO BEST OF HIS ABILITY. “I pledge my honor as a soldier and a citizen of France to the great American republic that I fought to the beet of my ability, and I sincerely believe from the bottom of my heart ibat J,*vlnsky did the same.” Levlnsky'a statement said, in part: “It is not possible for me to do anything to prove that this cowardly attack ! on my honesty is undeserved. In regard to the fight, I know my vindication will j come if ever Carpentier meets Dempsey. In the second round Carpentier bit me harder than I have ever been hit before. | From that moment, to the end of the contest, I was'dazed." In any event. New York boxing proi moters and fight fans are congratulating | themselves over the fact that Tuesday | night’s meeting did aot take place with--1 In the Jurisdiction of tbe New York com- ! mission. It was plain Levinsky was la j no condition such a bout, jSTREET GAMBLERS ! AROUSED SUSPICION. The betting has furnished Interesting food for thought. Both Broadwsy and Wall street apparently were “In on” things, for men went so far as to name | the round the afternoon before the mill. : When Wall street names the round a , fighter Is going out In it Is not on hear- ; say or guess work. Jersey officials j openly acknowledge Wall street named the round. George T. Vickers, assistant prosecutor of Jersey City, yesterday said: “I know that Wall street was betting Levinsky would be knocked out tu the fourth round and that probably started the frameup talk. The prosecutor was there and he seemed to think everything was all right, however." The biggest loser of all Is ssld to be a well-known Broadway theatrical promoter. Other losers on the bout are said to be Phil Lewis, $0,000; Phil Glassnaan, manager of Lew Tendler, $4,000; ! Harvey Gunness and Muggsy Taylor, the Philadelphia fight promoters, <4,000 each.

STAGE MONET IS RIGHT. NEW YORK, Oct. IB.—lt is said that Dan Morgan, manager of Battling LerlnKky wagered 82,500 at even money that hi 9 battler would beat Carpentler, and 85,000 against 810.000 that Levlnsky would knock out the French champion. It is hard to believe such a thing, but maybe Morgan did it In stage money. STAR BANTAMS IN ACTION. NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Several leading bantamweight aspirants will be seen in action here tonight when .Tack Sharkey meets Charlie Ledoax, the French bantam champion, and Jo© Lynch takes on Jabez White of Albany In feature bouts at Madison Square Garden.

The Troubles of Rube SUED FOR DIVORCE. CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Rube Marquard, southpaw slabman for the Brooklyn Dodgers, National League champions, was defendant In a divorce salt here today when Mrs. Blossom Marquard, formerly an actress, asked that they be separated and she be given custody of their 5-year-old child. Mrs. Marquard charged Rube with desertion. RUBE’S MONEY ATTACHED. CINCINNATI, Oct. 15—John E. Bruce, secretary of the National Commission, Thursda'y was served with a notice of attachment on Pitcher Rube Marquard's share of the world series receipts. The action was based on two Judgments returned against the Brooklyn pitcher in the New York courts. The clatm of Joseph Rosenwelg is for •5316.91 while the joint claims of Louis Henry and Max Robinson total $524.91. Bruce, as secretary of the commission, will send; checks to the players who engaged In the series. The attachment notice sent to Cincinnati did not state what the suits in New York were based on. _____ The Modem Sport Fan + He sat beneath this gallows tree And watched a hanging feet. The hangman labored carefully And did his level best. The fan. a doubting fan was he; Suspicion ' filled his breast.

stunned. It was disgusted. There was a little hissing here and there. • • * Carpentier still showed the same fault of being wide open In defense —fatally, almost pitifully, so to any one with a comparison with Dempsey In his mind. * * • Compared with Dempsey at the moment, he left the impression of being Just a remarkable amateur. • • • Edward P. Duffy, Evening MalL—But the majority of 15,000 who paid SIOO,OOO to see him defeat Levinsky in ten minutes and seven seconds of actual fighting, could not get themselves to believe that the Frenchman will wrest the heavyweight crown from Jack Dempsey If they ever meet. • • • Alfred W. McCann, Globe—lt was no contest. It was a set-up. Levinsky went Into the ring to get the money. * • * The commercialism of the thing was transparent as a sore tooth under the X-ray. Sporting event? Well, some fieople can drink wood alcohol and call t uplift. • * • At any rate, the “specimen'’ served to demonstrate the limitations of the French hero with no risk to himself.

TWO CITY PREP TEAMS ACTIVE Manual Meets Sheridan and Tech Takes on Newcastle. Now that all three local high school football teams have broken Into the win column, enthusiasm at the different schools la running high and the next contests on the card of the local aggregation: are being awaited with more than ordinary interest. Tech, having started right off with a win over one of the best teams in the State, will be given an opportunity to show off before an out-of-town crowd when they go to Newcastle Saturday afternoon for a game with the high school aggregation of that place. Newcastle has been going strong since the start of the season and no doubt will prove a worthy opponent for the Green and White. In fact, If Brehart s huskies are able to turn the trick, tbo.v will be the first ones to do It this season, three teams having already tried It without success. Sbortridge will rest this week-end and, judging by the way they walked all over Richmond last Saturday, they deaerve It. This will be the first and only open date on the Shoytridgo card. Coach Evans’ Manual grldsters entertain the home fans this week, meeting Sheridan High this afternoon on Irwin field. Sheridan has never failed to turn out a strong team and this game today *aa expected to prove one of the feature high school couteets of the season.

Butler Sees Fine Chance to Capture Wilmington 9 s Scalp Page’s Grid Warriors Out to Give Rooters More to Shout\ About. With their first football victory in two years tucked safely away In their game bag, the Butler football warriors are anxiously waiting for more victims and the reception awaiting Wilmington here tomorrow is bound to be a warm one. The men came out of the Hanover game In great shape and with a lot of confidence, something that a Butler team for the last two years has never kniwn. The dope on the contest Saturday favors the local squad to chalk tip an easy victory; but a good team never considers a game an easy one until It has been won. Wilmington fell before Franklin, and fell hard, 'and by comparative scores Butler and, Franklin look about even this year. The several men who have been on the hospital list at Butler have rounded Into shape and should be seen back in action tomorrow. It is probable that Wallie Middlesworth, right end, who suffered a sprained ankle in the Wittenberg game, will be back .at his old Job Saturday. The student body at the Irvington school has been t-oused to a high pitch by the overwhelming beating handed Hanover and the squad Is not going to lose another game this year if student support and rooting have anything to do with It.

BAN PREDICTS i MORE SCANDAL Johnson Tells Why He Objects to Proposed Conference. CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Further sensational disclosures of baseball crookedness by the Cook County grand Jury which has voted Indictments agalnat eight former White Sox players and two gamblers for “fixing” tbe 1919 world’s series, were predicted today by Ban Johnson, president of the American League. Johnson, in discussing his reasons for sending a telegram to President Heydler of the National League, opposing as premature the conference of club owners here on Monday to frauffe anew governing tribunal for professional baseball, said: “I do not care to attend any conference to discuss anew baseball tribunal until the report of the special grand jury, which reconvenes on Tuesday. Is made, and I know whom It indicts," was the significant sentence uttered by the American League executive. Johnson admitted having wired President Heydler his belief that the conference of major league club owners, scheduled for Monday, would be a mistake In view of the lncompleted work of the Cook County grand Jury, which will reconvene Tuesday to continue the investigation, which was interrupted to avoid lnterfer tng with the world’s series. He said further “This Wand jury has accomplished already what no other agency has been ablq to, and has done It with a celerity that astonished everybody. Its work is not finished. In fact, it Is my Information that clews are now in hand which may lead to the disclosure of more facts than have yet been dreamed of. I believe that all attempts to reform baseball by new tribunals should be deferred until we know ‘WJo’s Who In Baseball. 1 “I do not care to attend any conference to discuss anew baseball tribunal until I have heard the report of this special grand Jury. "Some people have been made sore by the exposures already made. More may be sore when the Information likely to come before the grand Jury next week la known. “No other Investigating body, lncapa-

It Pays to “Treat 9 Em Right 99 You’ll find that it pays to visit this out-of-the-way place. Here’s a real test of a successful business. When I started in business less than a year ago, I experienced all the difficulties of a lot of new businesses, and in addition was handicaped by the location. However, I decided that if I could sell all-wool, strictly tailored clothes for less than hand-me-downs and guarantee to back up every suit or overcoat with a money-back clause I could get men to come to my shop. How successful this policy has been is easily demonstrated by my order book and the number of tailors I employ. Through this policy of only selling all-wool materials, backing up every advertisement to the letter, and through a lot of word of mouth advertising by patrons of my shop, I have grown to the third largest men s tailoring shop in the city. Give me a trial and at the same time save $lO or sls on anew suit or overcoat. LEON ETTINGER.
