City Bowling Gossip iiy Lefty Lee

The Bucks were the only team in Ihe H. A. C 7 league to win three games, the Boosters being the victims. The Dumbbells, Water Dogs and Indian Clubs were the odd game victors over the Ropes, Tumblers and Ballroom fives, respectively. While this league does not produce heavy scores It is one of the feature leagues of the city, as there/is always plenty of pep md good fellowship on tap. The Ladies’ Social League, shooting on the Elks’ alleys, showed some good bowling Tuesday night, eleven n the scores going over 190. The 211 game shot by Woollen was light for the night. The Silver 1 lash team, although losing two out of three ft> the Fox Delicatessen, had the high' single game of the night with a score of 921. The ICreis Transfer, Capitol Furniturb and Shank Storage were also two-game winners in this loop, defeating Komstohk Candy, A. C. Bradley and the Mueller Soft Drinks. Have you entered the singles •sweepstakes at the Capitol Alleys for next Sunday afternoon? From present indications it looks as if an exceptionally large entry will open ’ the season in this class of, play, and as there are plenty of prizes hung up, it will he worth the to get in. The Automotive League seems to be good breeding grounds for bowl- ' e.rs, as the totals continue to show the boys are getting better results each week. Smith of the I. J. Cooper team was the leading wood ge.ter Tuesday night, gathering 602 pins on scores of 178, 214 and 210. He was hard-pressed by several of the boys who had totals of better than 590. Clean sweeps predominated in this league. The I. J. Cooper-Gibson Company and Wallerich, defeated Baxter Company-Auto Equipment and Losey-Nash. f\ C. Stanford copped the odd game from the Marmon 75, who failed to keep hitting after a good first game. The I. U.-All Star League had us weekly morning session Tuesday at the Capitol alleys. Although this league starts at 8 a. in. it never has a blind shooting. Thi3, we believe, is a league with the proper spirit, as each team fights to the last hall in every game, as the series between the Whiz Bangs and Operators shows. After losing the first and second games by more than 150 pins the Operators came back and took the final by three pins. In .‘he Commercial League the Vtoys are still going along at the same steady pace which has been one of the features of this league for years. Mounts of the Crescent Paper carried away high single total Tuesday night on games of 242, 203 and 170 for a total of 615. Johnson of the Union Title team reached 600 flat on games of 191, 235 and 174.

The defeats already suffered by Dartmouth' at the hands of Yale, Harvard and Brown strikingly call attention to Oberlander’s vplue. Bast season Harvard, (Cornell and Chicago fell before DaAmouth.

PURDUE-PURPLE, INDIANA N. D. AND LOCAL BATTLE STAND OUT

FURIOUS CONTEST FORECAST Purdue Figures Northwestern Will Be at Best During Home-Coming Fray. Hu Time* tjoecial LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Nov. 3.—. The Purdue football squad, unbeaten in the Big Ten, held its last hard workout here today in preparation for the all-important game with Northwestern at Evanston Saturday, which will decide whether the Purple or the Old Gold and Black will continue the race with the conference leaders A light drill will he given Thursday night, and Friday morning the Boilermakers will entrain for Chicago. ~ Purdue scouts, who have watched Northwestern in action since the first of the season, are unanimous in declaring the Purple eleven to he one of the Middle West’s best teams, possessing a great line, versatility in the hack field, arid a group of experienced players, who have shown'much “football brains” since the season started. Added to this report Is the fact hat the Saturday game is Northwestern's homecoming, a situation that will make the Purple rise to new heights before its alumni. Purdue’s grid camp is admitting the Purple’s strength and has prepared to play its best game of the season, and to give another striking demonstration of Boilermaker fighting spirit. Purdue will be outweighed, but the addition of Winkler to the line-up will help some. AVilcox is gradually recovering from the strenuous effects of 225 minutes of play out of a possible 240 this season and will be In shape, while Koransky, Purdue’s plunging fullback, will be on hand to get. in some offensive and defensive licks against the Evanston eleven. A great delegation of Purdue rooters, ready to back Phelan’s eleven to the last ditch, will follow the team to Chicago on a special t*ain Saturday morning. Indications are that every one of the 41,000 seats in the Purple’a new stadium will be occupied for the game.

He made a field go*l, though State was walloped. Aside from being a clever dropkicker, he is a fine punier and has not been overshadowed' in that department this year.

Keen College Grid Menu for Hoosier Fans on Saturday’s^ard. Three college games next Saturday are outstanding for Hooosier fans. They are Purdue at Northwestern, Indiana at Notre Dame and here in the capital city, Wabash vs. Butler. That’s a fair enough menu and each feature attraction will have its following. Indianapolis grid followers who can not spare the time for a trip will join the "Regular" Wabash and Butler gang and while viewing the annual battle between Little Giants and Bulldogs they will keep their earns tuned for quarter scores from Evanston and South Bend. Windy City scribes are giving the Boilermaker-Purple fracas a great play and it is evident Northwestern coaches are striving mightily to guard against over-confidence. Purdue Is feared, and for sound reason. The Phelan outfit did better against the Navy than Michigan was aide to show, nosed out Chicago and got bad breaks in p. tie with AVlseonsin. Northwestern, of course, is the favorite in the eyes of the experts, because of the presence of several veteran mainstays and by virtue of two decisive victories over Indiana and the manner in which It held Notre Dame down to a 6-to-0 victory. Long odds are being quoted on Notre Dame to trounce Indiana, hut Pat Page is a determined mentor and he expects to spur his Crimson to a point when 1 * the South Bend may be assured of scrappy entertainment. The shouts of the AA'abash Cavemen and the growls of Butler Bulldogs will supply the noise for Indianapolis. Two p. m. Saturday is kick-off time at Irwin Field and the general run of grid “hounds” figure they’ll sit In on a furious conflict. There Is an inclination to make the Scarlet the favorite by an edge, and over Crawfordsville way. the sport circles are keying up to the frenzied stage. A. A. r.

the St. Louis Club turns its down. Would the two stars hold out? And if they held out, what would happen? Facing ri serious threat of competition from a third major league, organized baseball would be in the most serious predicament it ever has faced. Would Attract Olliers If Ruth and Hornsby made use of the only defensive weapon a baseball player has, it certainly would become a movement. They would he joined by practically every ball player who had anew contract to consider, and Ruth and Hornsby would draw for them the popular support of the public. Baseball unions and protective organizations in the past have failed because the proper leadership could not be recruited. But with Ruth and Hornsby leading the way, no steam roller would be needed to crush down the old rocks in the road. Friends of Hornsby insist he will have his Way because he is a good young business man. But it is not certain about the Babe because he has been the poorest business man in baseball. Breadon Not Talking Sam Breadon, owner n( the Cardinals, hasn't said anything about Hornsby’s demands. The first inclination of the two club owners will be, of course, to let them hold out. And the owners might win by the old method if only Hornsby and Ruth were concerned. The magnates, however, know that many of the prominent ball players have been approached by representatives of a proposed third major league. They a too know how much help Ruth and Hornsby could give another league and how much they could make barnstorming without any league affiliation.

OF THE OLD SCHOOL IS BUSH, SAYS EVANS; NOT MANY OF HIS KIND LEFT Indianapolis Product, New Manager of Pirates, Gets Great Boost From Veteran Umpire Who Recalls Day Ovwie Joined Tigers in 1908.

By Billy Evans A’eteran Major League Umpire There is no more precarious busl j ness than managing a big league bail club. A'ou must deliver every minute of the time you are on tfle job. The merits of a big league baseball manager are judged by the gate receipts. No loser ever was a success financially. To get the money and he considered a success as a big league leader. It Is almost necessary that one's club finish somewhere In the first division. One year is just about the limit for a manager in the way of a contract. Few are able to tie a club up to three years or more. John McGraw of the Giants is one of the few exceptions. Bush Stands Out Os ihe new managers appointed In the majors for 1927, the name of Owen Bush, selected as the successor to Bill McKechnie. stands out. Bush will handle the Pittsburgh Pirates, world champions of 1925 and greatest disappointment of 1926. In naming Bush, the Indianapolis product, as manager of the Pirates, Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the club, selected a leader of the old school. Bush is of the aggressive type, a game little fighter who never quits. He Insist his players assume a similar attitude toward baseball. Bush is a miniature John McGraw in style and mannerisms. There are few of his kind still in the game. AA'ell do I recall the first game he played in the American League. It was back In 1908, early in September. He came to the Detroit Club unheralded. but it took only one game i fori him to break Into the headlines. With 1908 Indians Bush started the season of 1908 with Indianapolis of the American i Association. No one figured. Indian- | apolis as a pennant contender. I Then came a complete reversal of form! the team hit Its stride, and the (day before the close of the season | won out over Louisville. I Detroit, in the meantime, had made a deal for Bush, h.ut he was

NOV. 3, 1920

not to he delivered until the close of the season. At the time It didn't seem as if the Tigers would need him. Coining down the home stretch,' Detroit suffered a terrific jolt in the ■injury to Shortstop Charley O'Leary i and the illness of Third Baseman Bill Coughlin. Ijt looked ns If Detroit would lose the pennant because of lack of callable infield substitutes. The Tiger j management made every effort to j have Indianapolis turn over Bush for immediate delivery. It was in vain. Indianapolis need led Bush to win the pennant in the American Association and didn’t care what happened to Detroit. Won the Pennant The pennant cinched for Indianapolis, Busli took the first train to | join the Tigers. He arrived at night j and was rushed into the line-up thei next day. I doubt if Bush ever played a more remarkable game (luring his entire major league career than he did that day. He made four plays In which he hundletl balls hit directly over 1 second base. j The veteran Herman Schaefer, playing second base for Detroit at I the time, would walk over and shake hands with Bush after each play, while the crowd yelled Its approval of the midget shortstop. In those days Bush didn’t weigh much more than 130. During the remainder of the 1908 season he played twenty games for j Detroit, fielded sensationally and hit ! fifty pointH better than his minor I league record with Indianapolis. I think it Is conservative to say that Bush made possible five victories by his sensational all rouqd work. His value to the club In the home stretch can thus be appreciated by i the fact that the pennant was not decided in Detroit’s favor until the last day of the season by the margin of one-half game.
