Tribe Offer Made Quincy Is Accepted ‘Farm’ Deal Nearly Completed; Harold Irelan to Become Manager. Bruno Betzel’s Indians are going to have a little brother if stockholders of the Quincy Three-I League team approve the decision of their board of directors. Owner James A. Perry of the Tribesmen Tuesday made an offer said to be $8,500 for controlling interest at Quincy and the directors accepted it. Quincy stockholders will give their verdict Dec. 15, and it is said they will approve the deal that will make Quincy the “farm” of the Indianapolis A. A. club. Clauer, Irelan Present Secretary Clauer of the Indians, and Harold Irelan, veteran ThreeI leaguer, accompanied Perry to Quincy Tuesday and participated in the conference. Irelan, an Indianapolis resident, will be appointed Quincy manager when the deal is closed officially. Owner Perry assured Quincy fans he had no intention of transferring the franchise from that thriving city and promised to supply plenty of talent in an effort to give Quincy a winner. Good Baseball Town According to Clauer’s opinion after he looked the Illinois city over, there’s money to be made there. He found it a red hot baseball town. Quincy players won’t spring train with the Indians, Clauer said, but will “prep” for the 1928 season in Kentucky. Perry’s idea in securing the Quincy franchise is to have a Class B club on which to develop young pastimers for his Tribe team here. Usual 168 Games President T. J. Hickey of the American Association has three schedule drafts ready to submit to his club owners when the league goes into winter session at Dallas, Texas, next Sunday. The A. A. in 1928 will play the usual 168 games. It is said next year’s campaign will open with Western clubs in the West and Eastern teams in the East: President Hickey has announced no more big league clubs will be permitted to purchase A. A. franchises. Cincinnati owns the Columbus team and many persons are of the opinion the New York Yankees and St. Louis Browns have financial interest in St. Paul and Milwaukee, respectively.

Hot Controversy Breaks Out Over Disputed Play in N. D.-Trojan Tilt Umpire SchoVnmer Replies to Captain Drury’s Statement Charging Error in Ruling ‘Robbed’ California. *

Bu United Press CHICAGO, Nov, 30.—John C. Schommer, umpire in the Notre Dame-Southern California football game last Saturday, defended himself today against charges of having cost U. S. C. the game through an error. The charges were made by Capt. Morley Drury of U. S. C., in a campus speech at Los Angeles Tuesday night in which he said the team “had traveled a long distance to be robbed of victory.” He later explained he meant “robbed” by the breaks of the game and not by any official. Behind N. D. Goal Line The controversy centered around a U. S. C. forward pass which Riley of Notre Dame knocked down. There was some question as to whether it was an intercepted or an incomplete pass. The ball went out of bounds behind Notre Dame’s goal line. Schommer ruled the pass was incomplete, not intercepted, and therefore ruled the play a scoreless touchback instead of a safety which would have given U. S. C. two points and victory. Schommer’s statement follows: “Riley intercepted the pass in question, reversing in the air, and was facing his goal line when he landed on his feet. He took several steps toward his goal and was struck by several U. S. C. players on about the 4-yard line. The ball shot forward, struck between the goal line and the end line and rolled across the end line where a California player fell on it.

“I overruled cries that Riley was tackled in the end zone and that it was a touchdown, because I was certain Riley had been tackled on the three or four-yard line and that it was either a safety or a touchback. Tackled on Playing Field “When Riley caught the ball he was facing his goal and I could not see the ball. If Notre Dame had possession and control of the ball, then Riley gave the impetus that sent it across the goal line. (This would have made it a safety). If he did not have possession and control then it was a touchback. “I asked the field Judge, Walter Ecekresall, who was facing the play, and he said ‘no possesion and control. I then gave the ruling of touchback.” ROCKNE’S~STATEMENT Bu United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 30. “The official ruling always has been final so far as I’ve been concerned,” Coach Knute Rockne of the victorious Notre Dame team said today in commenting on the charges of Capt. Morley Drury that Southern California had lost the game through an error. “However, I suppose Drury is entitled to his opinion,” Rockne added.
