Notre Dame University’s Gridiron Prospects for 1922 Are Promising

UK VISITS in TOWN AND TALKSFODTBALI Plays Golf With Al Feeney and Dopes Out 1922 Squad. LOSES EIGHTEEN PLAYERS Miller Brothers Are Regarded as Likely Candidates. By HF.ZF. CLARK Notre Dame's football prospects for 1922 are promising, despite the loss of several of the stars of the crack team of 1921, according to Coach Knute Roekne. Coach Roekne visited in Indianapolis this week and golfed with Al Feeney, former Notre Dame star. “YVe hope to have a fair team,” admitted Roekne as he walked across the golf links. "There were 115 in the spring practice workouts, and some of them are fast.” Notre Dame is harder hit by loss of letter men than any other big football team in the country. Eighteen men were lost by graduation. When It Is mentioned that among these are such stars af Mohart, Wynn, Shaw, Kiley and E. Anderson and H. Anderson, then it is easy to see that even the best coach would be worried about next season. Smiles at Prospects Roekne did not seem to worry about Notre Dame’s prospects and smiled as he told of some of the "scrappy boys” who probably would make the varsity this year. Castner should make good at full back. Lieb, American champion discus hurler, is another back-field possibility. Carberry, last season’s subend, is captain of this year’s varsity. De Gree, a guard, is another good bet. Desch. Joe Bergman, Kane, “Red” Maher and Pete Smith all are sure to be seen in the back field or at end. Smith probably will play quarter back. Then there are tha fourth and fifth members of the Miller family. Harry (Red) Miller, all-American half back, about fourteen years ago, w;as the first of the five brothers to go to Notre Dame. Ray Miller, an end, and YValter Miller, full back, were the next two. No. 4is Gerald Miller, and his "kid” brother is Don Miller, who are after positions on the Notre Dame team this year. Gerald Miller has a chum, Milbauer, 250 pounds, who also is sure to try for the team. Third Brother Joe Bergman is the third of the three brothers to play at Notre Dame. Alfred was the first and Arthur the second of the Bergmans. Their home is at Peru, Ind. Joe, like his brothers, is a back field man. No wonder Coach Roekne smiles when he thinks of this material for his football team. But, then, it must be remembered that he has one of the hardest schedules ever arranged for a Notre Dame team. Ten games are on this list. The game that the Indianapolis football fans are interested in Is the Notre Dame and Butler affair, to be played in Indianapolis Nov. I. Indiana University plays Notre Dame at Notre Dame Nov. 4.

PLAY OF SICKING LOOKS GOOD TO MAJOR SCOUTS

By EDDIE ASH The scouts are watching Eddie Sicking. The flashy Tribe second sacker has been fielding, hitting and running bases in such splendid manner that there is a good chance that he will get another trial In the big league. YVord drifted in from YVashington Thursday that Clark Griffith, president of the Nationals, had been attracted by Sicking’s consistent work and that he soon would make a trip to Ind;anapobs to look the keystone sacker over. Improvement Has Been General Sicking has had trials with both Giants and Reds, but they were brief, and since he has been in a Tribe uniform he has improved his all-round play. The last averages showed Eddie hitting at a .318 clip. The manner in which he handles j double plays hardly can be bettered | in the big leagues and there is every ; indication of a major league offer be- \ mg made for him shortly if he continues to play bang-up ball. “This long stay at home will get us out of our slump and we’ll be back up there," was the confident assertion made by the Indians Thursday, as they prepared to open a series with I the Milwaukee Brewers at \Y r ashing- j ton Park. The Tribesmen said they did not have any luck with their hitting on j the western road trip and it was a j case of driving the ball straight at an i opposing fielder when men were on bases. They all agreed the bad start at Kansas City weakened their grip, and LOCALS REMAIN IN PLAY Burdick - Bastian, Hennessey - Westbrook Show Form In Doubles. By Tim** Special CHICAGO. Aug. 3.—A1l of the Indianapolis entries in the western tennis championships being held at the South Side Tennis Club have survived the play so far. John Heni nessey of Indianapolis and Walter Westbrook of Detroit are still in the running in the doubles and look good to reach the semi-finals. Burdick and Bastian, the national clay court champs from Indianapolis, drew a bye in Wednesday’s matches and so had nothing to worry about. Mrs. 11. S. Adams, the present women’s western title holder, advanced a round by defeating Miss Catherine Mylett, 6-2, 6-2.

after that they continued to bump into bad breaks. “Give us a couple of victories and we’ll be back on our feet,” was the prediction of Yerkes, Sicking and others. Owner Smith returned from the East Wednesday and said the Tribe j slump was nothing to become discouraged over. “With the exception of the Saints all clubs in the two big leagues and American Association have been in the dumps at various times,” he said. “There are two months more to go and lots of changes ‘ can occur during that time. If the Saints don’t slump it will bo another j one of those baseball miracles. The betting is that they will hit the rocks on the long trip facing them. They’ve j had a fine time at home. YVe hope j to have the same kind of a time at j YVashington Park during the lengthy j stay at home starting with the Milwaukee series." Ralph Shinners with the Toledo j Henai Another strange twist of baseball. Shinners was picked off the Milwaukee lots by Jack Hendricks in 1920, used as utility outfielder that season, as a regular In 1921 and then sold to the New York Giants for 125,000 and players. Included among the players ob- j tained in the deal was Mr. E. Brown,! whom all fans know by this time as the line-driving kid. Y’ernon Spencer also was obtained. but injuries knocked him out. The services of Claude Jonnard were had for a while, much to the Tribe's benefit, and now Cecil Causey comes as the last part of the deal. It was a profitable deal for Indian-1 apolis, even though the Hens eventu- j ally got Shinners. To Shinners’ credit It must be said misfortune overtook him In the big leagues. He was going along in good fashion holding down the center field Job for the Giants when he was struck on the head by a pitched ball. | He was knocked unconscious and the j injury affected his sight. He has shown some improvement recently, but it will take a long time for him to be the Shinners of his Indianapolis days. I Shinners was sent to Toledo by McGraw In a trade for Lee King, whom i McGraw once let go for the waiver price. - • Baseball is strange, indeed. Roger Bresnahan is re-building his Hens for next season. This season is practically over for his team. It’s in the cellar and displaying few signs of getting out.

THE INDIAN APOLIS TIMES

HIS IN NATIONAL TITLE 3-CUSHION LOOP Cooler Bids for Franchise and Maupome May Represent City in League. Indianapolis in a national championship billiard league! That was the word passed out' I Thursday by Harry Cooler, proprie- j tor of the Occidental parlors. The Indianapolis cue magnate formerly represented his home city in a three-cushion league, but this time he is going to engage a leading player j and do the managing only. Pierre Maupome, famous Mexican j cueist, is the player sought by Cooler to carry the Indianapolis billiard colors iiext winter in the league play, but if Maupome cannot be secured another player of class will be obtained. 14 Cities in Circuit The new National Interstate ThreeCushion Billiard League, organized recently in Chicago, plans to have j sixteen players, Chicago and Cleve- j land asking for two franchises. That means places for fourteen cities In the league and Cooler has entered a bid for Indianapolis. The season will open Oct. 1 and continue until April 1. A prize list of $12,000 has been offered, the winning player to get $4,000 and a salary of $3,000 for a year’s time. Each player will play fifteen games at home, the games to be divided into afternoon and evening blocks of 50 points each, total points to count. For example, when a league match is played at the Occidental parlor, one block of 50 points will be contested in the afternoon and a second block of 50 points at night, the player first j reaching the 100-point mark being ■; the winner. Title Series To Follow The big feature of the new league is | that it is to be a world’s champion- j ship affair, the champion to be decided ! in a series competed in by the four I high players at the completion of the j league schedule. The series matches ‘ to be distributed among the four high • cities. Therefore, Indianapolis will have an opportunity of seeing part of the title play if the Indianapolis representative finishes among the first four. If Maupome comes here, he is almost certain to rand in the top division. John Dayton, present world's threecushion champion, will represent St. Louis in the league. Officers of the league are: E. M. I Helm, president, Cleveland; Joseph Moll, vice president, Detroit; John E. Scanlan, secretary treasurer, Milwaukee. t KNIGHTS REACH SEMI-FINALS Closing Rounds in Golf Tournament j Brings Surprises.

10011 HORSE’ HAS GALLOPED HIS LAST TRACK RAGE Exterminator Breaks Under Long Strain and Owner Declares Him Through. By Uuiu a -> l iti SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y„ Aug. 3. —Exterminator, famous “Iron horse,” has run his last race. Following his disappointing showing In the Saratoga Handicap, when he ran last in a field behind Grey Lag, his owner, YV. S. Kilmer, ad- ; mitted the veteran gelding was done and said he probably Would not ask him to compete again. Exterminator is not an old horse in the matter of years. But few horses have undergone such rigorous campaigning. He is 7 this year, and five of his seven years have been spent in the hardest kind of pounding work that resulted in several serious breakdowns. After each reversal, however, Exterminator would come back and even as late as the uresent ! season defeated Grey Lag and was i hailed as master of the turf. His owner said after the disastrous i race at Sartoga Tuesday that ho recognized two days before that Exterminator was no longer himself, but it was j the ambition of his life for Exterminator to win his fourth Saratoga ejap, and lie clung to the frail chance tjiut the old horse would come through again. In eighty-three races in which he has started Exterminator won fortythree times. His latest victory, in the Broooklyn Hand,cap. under a heavy impost, sent his winnings above the $213,000 mark. Only one horse in tile history of American racing Man-o'-YY'ar, with $249,000. ever won more. Fred Burlew, trainer of the famous Morvlch, has threatened to resign that post through a disagreement with his stable owner, Benjamin Block.

SAVE YOUR • AUTO-TOP

Your auto-top costs considerable money to replace and la good for about two years, all told, if you "let it alone.” If you "WAXMUSH” it every six months, which takes from fifteen minutes to a half hour, it will last, six or eight years, look good and stay good. Y’ou smear on the WAXMUSH with a hunk of cotton waste, or cloth, and in a minute or two rub off the excess, which brings out a black lasting luster. Requires no skill to use, just a matter of smearing on the soft WAXMUSH, and a dollar can is enough to give a very largo top two coats, a year’s sup ply. WAXMUSH is soft and mushy but it dries quickly, makes the top very black, waterproofs It and renews its life. You can use your car as soon as you have finished Waxmushing it, for it is then perfectly dry. It is the greatest stuff you ever saw, beats top varnish and all other preparations made for tops and is far more lasting. You know how thread or cord is strengthened and waterproofed by waxing it, that is just what YVAXMUSH does to your top and the surface looks almost like new. Rub your hand over the upper flat surface of your top and see if it is not commencing to get a little rough and dry, a sure sign that the Me Is leaving it. Unless properly treated it will soon become leaky and the material

HTHEHHOODOF LEAGUE PLAYERS PLANJNDERWAY Want Mathewson to Act a9 Organization’s Head —Announcement Soon. By HENRY FARRELL. United Press Sports Editor. NEYV YORK, Aug. 3.—Organization of another brotherhood or “union" has been started among the major league baseball players, it was learned today. Quiet movements have been made among the players all season, but the organization has not been completed and its complete plans will not be announced until near the end of the season or during the winter. Efforts will be made to get Christy Mathewson, former Giant star pitcher, now recovering from tuberculosis at Saranac Lake, to act as the president of the organization. The organization will attempt to get a representative of the players on the National advisory’ board, which consists of Commissioner Landis, ; John A. Heydler,. president of the 1 National League, and Ban Johnson, president of the American League. At various times since the old Players’ Fraternity ceased to function, the players have been considering the formation of another organization. The demand for such a protective body was felt to have been acute last wln- | ter when Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel and Bill Piercy were suspended for violating the antl-bamstorming rule. The players took the position that the rule was unjust to them and i that practically all of the rules along the same line were drawn from the club owner's viewpoint alone. Efforts will also be made. It Is understood, to have a different form of contract adopted in the major leagues. The players maintain that under the present system they haven't a chance to have a voice in their own affairs and have no appeal from a form of virtual "slavery” that the present form of contract places them in.

BARTFIEI-D WANTS TITLE lly United News NEW YORK, Aug. 3. —Claiming to have whipped six world’s champions without annexing a title, Soldier Bartfleld Wednesday posted ;t challenge with $2,500 forfeit to meet Jack Britton for the welterweight crown. In vase Britton refuses to meet him within a specific time, Bartfield will ask the boxing commission to give him the itle. Through Dan McKettrick, Bartfleld issued a statement in which he claimed newspaper decisions over Johnny YY'ilson, Mike O’Dowd, Mike Gibbons, Britton, Harry Clreb. Ted (Kid) Lewis and Phil drug.

will rot away. Give it a good coat of WAXMUSH, which is not only the best top dressing made but the easiest to apply. If your car is "black” you can use YVAXMUSH on the body, fenders and wheels to protect the finish from the action of the sun and weather. It waterproofs either anew or old finish, puts on a thin protective coating and brings up a nice lasting luster. Mud and dust will then come off easily without injury to tha varnish underneath. YY'hy let the finish of your car become rusty, your top leaky and go to pieces when you can save both at so little expense and effort. YVAXMUSH is made by an old compounder who has had more than twenty years practical experience making wax compounds for protecting and renewing painted, varnished and dyed surfaces, a very careful man who thoroughly understands the work. YVAXMUSH Is not sold through dealers. YVe will send you a large full size can by parcel post prepaid, with all the simple directions for using, upon receipt of a dollar. Just enclose a dollar with your full name and address very plainly written or printed and we will know what you want. Address, The Waxmush Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. There is an opportunity for energetic men everywhere to establish a business of YVaxmushing cars In their locality.—Advertisement.

BROWNS SLIP A NOTCH By losing to the Athletics, 8 to 4, while the Yankees were redeeming themselves with a 5 to 1 win at Cleveland, the St. Louis Browns settled back Thursday only, one game ahead of New York for the American League leadership.

This moved Chicago down to fourth place, with Detroit climbing to third. In the lone game scheduled in the National League, the Cubs and Phillies dragged out fifteen long innings at Philadelphia until darkness interferred. The score, 7to 7.
