Football Reviews

By Dick Miller

Outlook at Shortridge SHE familiar “Fight, Shortridge, Fight!” shout was in evidence at the Blue and White athletic field, Thirty-Fourth and Meridian Sts., Monday night, where forty candidates for the 1926 football team were sent through its paces. Head Coach Goldsberry was none too optimistic about the possibilities j)f a winning eleven. After listening to him for a while, one might gather the idea Shortridge was not going to have a team at all. but after watching the squad on the field it seems “Goldy” was putting out some of his favorite bear stories. Os course, bear stories go with the pigskin game. It is conceded the north side school does r.ot have a glorious football outlook, but it does have a fair chance to upset the dope. Anything goes in the gameVt smashes and dashes, and it’s a 50-50 chance they will finish the year with a .500 or better percentage. Head Coach Goldsberry started the song with the verse, “We lost seven of our last-year regulars, and, believe me, they were regulars.” Six graduated and one moved to Thorntown. The ones who finished their careers were Dow and Parrish, tackles; Anderson, center, and Kilgore, Holt and Kern, backs. Hoekett, a lineman of real ability, moved. * * * The first glance at the squad of kforty candidates standing on the goal Pline ready for a 100-yard dash, one of the pre-practice conditioning stunts, revealed that Shortridge lacks weight. But football teams these days are built for speed. Thus, hopes for the team. If there is any speed there it was believed Bruce (Turn to Page 12)

‘Our Second Wind,’ Says Jack

lie United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Last week when Rogers Hornsby and his regular pitching staff of the St. Louis Cardinals were spending an off day scouting the New York Yankees, the “Rajah” told New York sport writers: “We’re about in now. We’re ahead and we can’t be caught.” Today the manager of another club standing abreast of St. Louis in the race for the National League pennant,'volunteered an opinion. “We’re still in the race, aren’t we?” Jack Hendricks, manager of the Cincinnati Reds said. “If there is such a thing as second wind, we have it. We’ve been caught and passed several times and we have fallen behind, but we are still up there.” Hendricks was asked why he had so much confidence in a club that the experts said had no business in the first division. “I don’t have to give a good reason.” he answered. “The averages and the club standing will show you why we are right in the race for the pennant. We have a good balanced club, not a tremendous hitting club, but one that Seems to hit when a run or several runs are necessary. We have a good pitching staff and above all—w* are ill workjng together.”

AMATEUR GOLFERS PLAY SECOND 18 OF QUALIFYING ROUND

BANTAM BETTING IS EVEN Opinions on Taylor - Rosen berg Go Take Reverse Turn—Champ Improves. By Bert M. Demby, United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—As Charley Phil Rosenebrg, world's bantanv weight champion, and Bud Taylor, the Terre Haute (Ind.) terror, put on the finishing touches for their title bout here Thursday night, the boys who back their judgment with money have decided there isn’t much to choose between the two. Opinions have taken a reverse turn in recent days. Taylor was quoted as a 9-to-5 favorite before Chicago had seen the champion in action. The people., out this way had seen Taylor and they thought he was good enough to beat the best of them. Then Rosenberg came out and started working in a loop gym. Immediately the odds dropped to 7-to-5 with few takers. Now they are down to even money. It was thought for a while Rosenberg might experience some trouble in making the 118-pound weight limit, but Saturday Phil stepped on the scales and was just one pound over the weight limit. \ That means Rosenberg can coast along and take off that last pound gradually without injuring himself by drastic weight reducing work. It is this fact that has brought the odds down.

Harrison "punefi bowl” studio, will go on the air at 8:30 o’clock this evening with the last fistic program of the summer season. The 11th Infantry Band will render several preliminary numbers, after which Capt. Howard Clark will announce the opening selection of Jour versek between Billy Moore and Cecil Hurt, two boys just stepping out from the amateur ranks. From then on the walloping waves will waft wildly through the night air with thirty-eight rounds of slamming static, culminating in a grand closing chorus of clamorous clouting between Chuck Wiggins and Big Chief John Metoquah, the Cherokee brave from out where the plumbing is bad. Wiggins and Metoquah are scheduled to travel ten rounds, but Chuck hopes to punch his opponent silly early. On the other hand, Metoquah has decided Wiggins doesn’t relish stiff body punching, and the Indian says what it takes to plant the ponderous fist he “has got.” Metoquah knocked out George M ulhblland recently and Wiggins stopped Mike Wallace, who was carded to meet the Indian tonight. Chuck side-tracked Wallace, but many fans are not sure he has the necessary endurance to stay in the ring and swap blows with a heavy clouter like the redskin. Captain Clark built up this last program with wild action uppermost in his mind when he closed for the six bouts, and he feels certain the fans will be pleased.

At Dempsey’s* Camp

His camp will take the secrecy mandate gently however, as tomorrow and Thursday Jack will work out for "newspaper men only.” Monday, Dempsey by a crowd of 2,00(L He was a fast but not altogether furious Dempsey and had poor luck on timing his blows. Tommy Loughran darted back and forth—good tactics for a grooming champion to face. Dempsey snapped several punches in, but in his two sessions with Martin Burke, the champion appeared at better advantage. Burke left the ring, blood streaming from lips and nose.

Bit United Press BALTUSROL GOLF CLUB, SHORT HILLS, N. J-, Sept. 14.—Rudy Knepper of Sioux Cit, missed a 2-foot putt on the eighteenth green today and thus failed by one stroke to better Bobby Jones' mark of 70 for the difficult Baltusrol course in the qualifying round of the National Amateur Championship. Kneppers’ 70, gave him a total of 147, and made hihi a certain qualifier. Georgie Dawson. Chicago, with an 83, had a total of 157, and also appeared likely to qualify.

The 140 golfers competing for the national amateur title started on the second eighteen-bole qualifying round today with the most brilliant golf ever played by Bobby Jones, title-holder, as their Inspiration to greater efforts. Os the 144 who started Monday, only fourteen could break eighty on the difficult Baltusrol course, which held grief for nearly all except Japes. His seventy, two under par, was four strokes better than the next player, George Dawson, of Chicago. Next were Laurence Upson and Paul Haviland of Connecticut, with seventy-six each. The field was out by four when Frank Dolp, western amateur titleholder, was disqualified for inadveretntly failing to take the full penalty for a ball out of bounds. Thomas Devine, Harrisburg; Eldridge Robinson, Chicago, and R. J. Topping, Greenwich, Conn., withdrew. Unless Monday’s play is much bettered today, a score of 160 should qualify—perhaps 161.

BREWERS MOVE IN FOR THREE TRIBE BATTLES

Indians Have Chance for Second Place If They Perk Up —Held to Four Hits Monday.

The Brewers are in town. j£ck Lelivelt’s crew of fence busters from Milwaukee were carded to open a three-game series with the. Indians this afternoon, and it is the Tribe's opportunity to aim for second place if the home pastimers are really that ambitious. Milwaukee is occupying the run-ner-up position, hut there is time enough left fpr the Bushmen to crowd up if the base-hit charm can be coaxed back to the Tribe dugout. The home pastimers batted like Class X leaguers Monday and Toledo annexed the series finale, 3 to 0. Only tpur hits were obtained off Tim McNamara. In six of the nine innings Tim got the Tribe side out in order. ' Few Indians on Rase Two hits were obtained off the Hen flinger in the first inning, but a double play cut in and prevented the Indians reaching the plate. The homo ash swingers then went'all the way until the eighth before getting another bingle. In the ninth Sicking tripled after two out and was left stranded on base. Eddie poled two of the four safeties that McNamara permitted. Toledo obtained nine hits off Tony Faeth and the three runs were earned. Bobby Veach crashed the ball for two singles and a double and

Catcher Heving collected three singles. One marker was scored in the second stanza and two in the sixth. It wasn’t a bad game that Faeth pitched, but his efforts useless as his mates continued to fall before McNamara. Good Fielding Sicking played in fine form and accepted twelve chances without hobbling. Miller at'short also was busy and accepted eleven of twelve chances. Toledo won three of the five struggles in the series that closed Monday. Indianapolis has finished playing three clubs now and has only four series left, all with western teams. The season closes Sept. 26. Pitcher Carl Boone, purchased from Terre Haute, was due to report to the Indians' today. The Three-I season wound up Sunday, Terre Haute finishing third. Springfield was first and Peoria second. Shortstop Maurice Shannon of the Indians, who was of very little service to the Bushmen this season, has been sent home and won’t be with the team any more this year. He has been placed on the suspended list charged with indifferent playing and failure to make sincere efforts to get in shape after his injured leg mended.

Corbett’s Opinion

Bu United Press STROUDSBURG, Pa., Sept. 14.—Gene Tunney will win over Jack Dempsey if he survives the first three rounds, according to James J. Corbett, former heavyweight champion. Corbett has written to the challenger warning him to watch out at the beginning of the fight, and “if you can protect yourself that long, you'll win.”

GENE’S FEAR Danger of Overtraining Frightens Tunney’s Pilots.

Hu United Press STROUDSBURG, Pa., Sept. 14. Gene manager, Gibson, and Lou Fink, trainer, were wishing today the fight with Dempsey could be this week. All through the Tujnney camp, partly because of tho manner of the challenger’s workout Monday and partly because it has beeft evident for a week, the feeling persists that Tunney is in real danger of getting into a mental and physical condition called over-trained. Some think the mental danger as great as the physical. The fighter lacked ability Monday to make every blow count in his short bouts with Harold Mays and Ork Till. Several "he missed completely, but it was evident he was not battling with much enthusiasm.
