TRiS SPEAKER RESIGNS AS CLEVELAND BASEBALL MANAGER

Gray-Haired Leader to Go Into Business —Quits Diamond. By United Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 29.---Trls Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians baseball club, resigned today. Speaker made the announcement here himself, following his return from Chicago today. The gray-haired veteran of the diamond declared he was leaving the game for good. “I will go into business here in Cleveland,” Speaker said, confirming a report made public last week by the United Press, which predicted his resignation. Speaker refused to say specifically what business he would adopt, but it is generally understood he will join the Geometric Stamping Company, of which his closest friend, Dave R. Jones, is president. Jones said two days ago that if Speaker ever quit baseball he wanted him to join his company as an executive. Billy Evans Says— MORIARTY’S CHANCES How about George Moriarty’s chances to deliver as manager of the Detroit Tigers? That question has been fired at me scores of times since the former American league umpire was named to succeed Ty Cobb. Moriarty has three great assets that should stand him in good stead as a big league pilot—ambition, determination and courage. For ten years, or ever since he became a member of the staff of American League umpires, Moriarty has cherished the hope that some day he would be given a managerial opportunity. It finally came. Now that it has arrived, I am sure that he will make the most of it. Moriarty knows baseball and he has been placed in charge of what I would rate a mighty good ball club. * * * REALIZES GOAL Moriarty’s desire to manage a big league ball club dates back to the year he passed from the ranks of the American League. Feeling that he was through as a big league ball player, he took charge of the Memphis team of the Southern League. He met with more than average success. While in the South he was stricken with typhoid fever and for some time was near death. He finally recovered, but came North only a shadow of his former self. Making up his mind that the climate of the South didn’t agree with him. he decided to take a whirl at umpiring if he could get the opportunity. * * * A POINTED UMPIRE I remember the morning that he dropped around to my hotel in Detroit and very frankly asked me if I thought he had the requirements of a good umpire. I told him I certainly thought he did and repeated my belief to President Johnson. As a ball player Moriarty was smart. I knew that his temperament was such that he would run his ball game. I also knew he had the determination to make good, which is half the battle in anything. So many recommendations in behalf of Moriarty came to Johnson, that he president of the American League gave him an umpire berth. At about the same time, he notified me that since I thought so well of Moriarty’s possibilities, he would give me the job of breaking him in. * * * MAKES HIS DEBUT The spring of the year he was appointed to the American League staff, he went south with the Cleveland club and did the first umpiring of his career. He worked alone In most of the exhibitions in the south and as a result had no one to offer him any advice. Umpiring is largely a matter of angles. If you are in the right place to judge a decision, your chances of getting it correct are increased 100 per cent. Naturally Moriarty knew little or nothing of the angles, so for perhaps a months we had a set of signals that we used as to where he should stand on the various situations that came up. It was tough work for both of us for a time, hut never have I broken in a new umpire who learned with the speed that Moriarty did.

'ROSES' FRAY IS CLIMAX Stanford-Alabama Clash on New Year’s Day Becomes Feature for Dopesters. By Frank Getty. NEW YORK. Nov. 29 —The football championship of 1926 will be decided in 1927. Since Saturday's dusk found the Army and Navy deadlocked on Sol diers Held in Chicago, and the claim of Notre Dame has vanished behind a plaid eclipse, the winner of the Alabama-Stanford game on New Year's day alone can claim tho mythical national title. Out of the chaos of a season of topsy-turvy performances on the country’s gridirons, only three major college elevens emerged with clean slates. Stanford, champions of the Pacific Coast: Alabama, champions of the South, and Lafayette, champions of Easton. Pa., were the only inportant teams neither beaten nor tied in 1926. Of these, we must eliminate Lafayette front consideration as possible national champions, for Coach McCracken's great team unfortunately met few first-rate opponents. Lafayette's schedule included only two elevens of class, Pitt and W. & J., both of whom scored, but were beaten by the briliant running attack led by “Mike” Wilson. Alabama's relentless “Crimson tide” once more submerged all opposition and came through, its second successive season without defeat. When Alabama completed Its regular season by defeating Georgia on Thanksgiving day, 33 to 6, the “tide" had amassed a total of 242 points to 20 for its opponents. Winslett, Holmes, Plckhard and Barnes are among the best football players in the country. Stanford's claim to the national championship has not as sound a basis as that of Alabama. The Pacific Coast champions have beaten Oregon, Southern California, Washington and California, but otherwise the opposition has been negligible. Southern California was beaten by a single point, 15 to 12, and otherwise appeared quite as strong as Stanford against the same opponents. Guess ‘Wamby* as Blue Pilot By Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 29.---It is believed Bill Wambsganss, veteran major leaguer, will be appointed manager of the local baseball team of the American Association to succeed Spencer Abbott, who was released after one year as Blue pilot. “Wamby” comes here with First Baseman Joe Hauser of the Philadelphia Americans in exchange for First Baseman Dudley Branom. The last-named was developed locally and it is said the Blues receive a large sum of cash in the deal. No announcement of the appointment of “Wamby” as pilot has been made, but K. C. fans are guessing he will land the berth. He is an inflelder. ENDS IN TIE The Ferndale Triangles and the Ferndale All Stars, composed of older players, fought it out on the gridiron Sunday, but could not reach a decision. The final count was 0 to 0.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

New Tribe Performers

Outfielder Walter Mueller

The two players obtained by the Indianapolis Indians in the Carmen Hill deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates are expected to be mainstays with the 1927 Tribe aggregation. They are Outfielder Walter Mueller and Pitcher Louis Koupal, a right hander. The two pastimers and a sum of cash came in the Hill transfer and part of the cash will be used to bolster other Tribe positions and also go toward the expense of building the new park the Indian directors plan when a suitable site is obtained.

—LOOKING ’EM OVER—

Do our local John Laws still have to report for breath inspection down at the jail house these smell mornings? How about a perfumed-breath night-riding squad to round up the sheiks? Some cops pound beats so far out in the weeds they're all out of breath by the time they reach headquarters for the a. m. sniff line-up. College Humor First Neighbor—Who's the new boy on the street? Second Neighbor—Don’t you know? He’s a son of the police breath inspector who moved in. First Neighbor—Oh, I see, a whiff off the old block, eh? About the worst fate you can wish on a man nowadays is to wish all his sons grow up to be police exhale examiners. Garlic, or What Have You? Some of the breath chemists will need the smelling salts some morning when a big copper with halitosis blows in. And if they can distinguish between halitosis and “donkey” breath they are worthy of the degree of M. D.—Mule Driver. The 'Guy' Was In Conference The Governor of Alabama's hunting lodge party was a fair success after all. . . . Ten "big Georges” had been worked on before the raid was staged. And the Negro cook “took the fall” for the stock. . . . That cook was taught, to know more than his onions. The guy who fixes the odds for the “Betting In Wall Street” bulletins finished another “great” grid season by batting exactly .000 on the tougrh games. But perhaps that’s one way they make fortunes In Wall Street. . . . Establish the odds and then bet the short end. The Big Ten has placed a two-second pause on shift plays for 1927. . . But will two seconds be time enough for some of the dumb boys on the defense to get their bearings? In the Home Spun League. Bring up some more friends tomorrow, boys. . . . You know, the quiet kind. . . . I'm ’way ahead and I need the bottles for next week’s batch. E. A.

FLOWERS VS. WALKER Middleweight Boxers to Complete Training in Chicago for Bout. By Times Special CHICAGO. Nov. 29.--- Tiger Flowers and Mickey Walker, who meet at the coliseum Friday in a ten-round bout to a decision for the world's middleweight championship, will complete their training Tuesday. The Georgia Deacon, holder of the middleweight title, must take off another five pounds to get down to 160. Mickey says his condition is better than since he lost the welterweight crown to Pete Latzo at Scranton, Pa. SIX SCRAPS Loughran and Manley Top Big Fistic Program. The clever Tommy Loughran, light heavy of Philadelhpia, one of the big league type of knuckle dusters, will show his wares in Indianapolis tonight when he tangles with George Manley of Denver in the main go of ten rounds on the Olympic A. C. card at Tomlinson Hall. There will be five other scraps staged. Regardless of whether a sport fan is a boxing fan or not, there is no belittling the class of Loughran. He is termed a “near champion," and when he throws the gloves, he reminds one of the late Harry Greb. Tommy is a better boxer than Jack Dempsey and is not far below the class of Champion Gene Tunney. He does not carry the wallop of Dempsey and Tunney, but would make either hustle in a short fight. George Manley, Loughran’s opponent tonight, lacks the experience of Loughran, but is rated a willing mixer and capable of taking care of himself against older, opponents. He holds point victories over Johnny Rlsko and Chief Metoquah and evidently is well versed in the “manly art.”

CARNEGIE DECLARES 4 HOLIDAY Students Celebrate Great Upset Victory Over Notre Dame. Bu United Press PITTSBURGH, Nov. 29.- Today Is a holiday out at Carnegie Tech and a frenzied student body is doing its l>est to commemorate the biggest football upset of the deende—the Tartan victory over Notre Dame. It was an impressive victory. The Skibos were great on the offensive, piling up two •touchdowns and two field goals for 19 points, and even greater oh the defensive, having held Notre Dame on their oneyard line with four tries in which to make that much ground. While the victory of Carnegie Tech did not serve to give it any additional championships it did serve to curb the aspirations of the Rockne crew to the title of national champions. Tech must content ItselCg with the Pittsburgh city ship, which it won by defeating Pitt, 14 to 0. Techs defeat at the hands of Washington and Jefferson, 16 to 7, eliminated It from trl-Htate honors, while that defeat, plus the 6-to-0 trimming from New York Unlversltv . eliminated It from national or east ern honors.
