The A. A. magnates headed , off the plan of Columbus to sell Its franchise to Cincinnati for a “farm.” It was agreed that the prestige of the A. A. would be lowered by such methods. The magnates will meet again in Chicago Dec. 15, and draft anew constitution that will put a stop to efforts of big league teams trying for A. A. franchises. President Joe Carr of thfe Columbus club announced Manager George McQuillan had resigned and that the Senators were in the field new pilot. The Indianapolis club announced spring exhibition dates with Cincinnati and Toronto. The Reds will be played at Sanford, Fla.., March 15, and Toronto will be met at Indianapolis' April 9 and 10. The Indians will train at Sanford. Four clubs are hot after the services of Eddie Sicking. Tribe in fielder, who is on the market. Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Toledo and Kansas City desire the Indian veteran. Bruno Retzel, new Tribe manager, will play second base, and for that reason Sicking will be traded or sold. Indianapolis’ chief problem is to obtain a shortstop, and Manager Betzel and Vice President Smith are scouting around in an effort to land a player of known ability. Minneapolis has offered to trade outfielder George Kisher for Sicking and Milwaukee has offered Shortstop Flippin.

Notre Dame Opens Season Tonight—Six Swing Into Action Tuesday. This week marks the start of the college basketball season In this State. A number of the teams play their first games, which open a period of strenuous activity on the hardwood. Notre Dame, with four of Its fine team of last year back, dashes into action tonight at South Bend against Armour Tech. On Tuesday night six Booster outfits show their stuff.- De Pauw is at Earlham, Indiana Central at Franklin and State Normal at Wabash. On Wednesday N. A. G. U. team of Indianapolis plays Rose Poly at Terre Haute. Indiana University is the first ißig Ten representative to swing into action. De Pauw is at Bloomington next Friday. Last season the Tigers surprised the Crimson and won. Practically the same clubs oppose each other again this week. Next Week Purdue does not open until next week. The Boilermakers meet State Normal at Lafayette. Dec. 14. Butler will Play its first game one week from Thursday, Dec. 16. at the new armory on N. Pennsylvania St. The barnstorming Coe team will he the opponent. It is too early to be sure of any estimate of strength. However, Indiana and Turdue, Western conference members who tied for the lead last year, look good again. Notre Dame also should have another successful year. De Pauw should do well with veterans hack for most positions. Wabash is more or less of a question mark, hut the Scarlet is likely to be plenty tough. Benny De Vol and ••Red” Robinson are enough to make the Crawfordsvllle outfit no easy mark. A center and back guard are needed. Depends on Sophs Franklin may be good and then it may not. It all depends on how the sophomore material works under pressure. The Baptists will have a green team, very much different from the clever veterans of former years. They are likely to develop under Coach Wagner’s watchful care as the season progresses. Butler also is rather difficult to dope. Again much depends on the “sophs.” The team does not look as impressive as it has in the past.

Eddie Harkenrider and Sargent were tied for first and second places with a total of 854 for the four games. Prize winners: Hardenrider, 854; Sargent, 854. Weisman, 829; Pritchett, 809; Hueher, 802. Hank Shriver, with 257, won the prize offered for high single game. One of the most Interesting announcements ever made to the bowlers of Indianapolis Is the formation of the Em-Roe Traveling League. Tills league will he composed of j eight teams picked from four differ- i eni alleys, two teams at each of the following alleys: Capitol, Century, Recreation and Elks. Play in this league will be held on Sunday afternoons, and instead of a point for each game won the Aotal pins for three games will count. The Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company, one of the greatest boosters of tbk ten-pin game in the city, is sponsoring this league, and a beautiful trophy will be given by this company to the team which is returned the winner. To retain this trophy permanently, a team must win it two times in succession. The alley managers of the houses selected are requested to get the line-up of their two teams and be ready for a meeting to be called soon. This looks to the writer like a wonderful stride for the bowlers to take advantage of, and no doubt j will go over with a bang. There are two war horses In the 1 bowling game who think they can trim Larry Fox and Johnny Fehr In a double match. “Dad” Frank Fox has been trying to promote a match of this kind, hut the boys keep sidestepping all his efforts. Frank says the other “wheel chair” he would use in this game is Larry Cobler.

—LOOKING ’EM OVER—

Notre Dame put a leaden gray coloring to the golden sundown in the West Saturday for Californians. Parisien tossed the football like he would an app'e and It settled snuggly In the arms of Niemec hack of the Californians’ goal line. Many Indianapolis “gamboleers,” backing California, had their money already spent and some of 'em nearly choked when the game finished the other way. Bucky Harris, baseball manager, is listed among Washington elite Bucky used to be a coal mine boy and he has landed higher socially than many coal mine owners. Notre Dame is going to play Southern California in Chicago next year The idea probably is to get ’em out of the hot climate and freeze 'em helpless.

OFFICIAL PRAISES CARRIGAN Umpire Evans Says New Boston Red Sox Pilot Is Courageous Leader. By Billy' Evans, Veteran Major League Umpire. As Ty Cobh and This Speaker pass out of the American League, it is pleasing to note the return of Bill Carrlgan. Carrlgan brings back some of the color and prestige that is lost through the departure of two of the greatest lnflelders baseball will ever see. Well do I recall Bill Carrlgan as he reported to the Boston Ber Sox for a few days in the fall of 1906. He came direct from Holy Cross. Rather

awkward In style and lacking experience, Bill didn't create much of an impression. He w(,s sent to Toronto in/the Internaticnal League in 1907 to poligh off the rough edges. One year in the minors and he came back to the big show a mighty good catcher. Breaking in behind the bat for the Boston Americans was a tough Job s\lth the great Lou Criger as first-string backstop. Criger, the veteran of many campaigns, was slipping, however, and the youthful Carrlgan coming f:nt. In a few years he proved his 11round ability and became the first string catcher when Criger was sent to St. Louis When Jake Stahl gave up the club in 1913, after winning a world championship in 1912, Jimmy McAleer, then president of the club, recognizing the worth of Carrigan, made him manager. The wisdom of the appointment was made manifest when he won a pennant and a world series two years later, and repeated the feat in 19i 6, at which time he retired from baseball. One of Carrigan’s pet theories relative to pitchers, was they never

should be permitted to argue with j the umpires. Whenever a Boston ; twirier started to take issue with a j ruling on balls and strikes, Carrigan always agreed with the umpire while the pitcher was within hearing. ‘‘lf you ever missed one in your life, you kicked that one," might be his shot to the umpire a moment later. Carrigan always contended that no pitcher could do his stuff and umpire at the same time. A more courageous athlete never piloted a big league ball club. Carrigan had an .opinion on all things and expressed it when he believed it was wise to do so. “You are out of the ball game if you come up here,” is a pet expression of most umpires to nip a dispute in a bud when some manager starts to rush him. That never was successful with Carrigan. You couldn’t stop him with a threat, if he thought he was right and had a kick coming. "I know that I am out of the ball game if I come up there, but here I come,” and he always did. When it was over, there was no scene in getting Carrigan off the
