Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9.—The baseball reporter looking for his favorite vegetable—color—finds little of it in the managerial chairs of the two world series contenders. William McKechnie of the Cardinals is an unobtrusive, self-efi'ac-lng gentleman in his early forties who looks as if he might own the feed store back in his native Wilkes Barre. Pa. Meeting him you almost expect that the first thing he is going to tell you about, and with no little animation, is how he gets Portland (Ore.) on a crystal. There is nothing about him that suggests the swashbuckling leader of the diamond or profound student of the dugout popular fancy pictures these distinguished baseball directors to be. Mr. McKechnie’s history is simple. He was a better than average inflelder in his day, reasonably observant and early in the game evidenced a certain capacity for organization. It was inevitable he would end his baseball days as a manager. MILLER J. HUGGINS, 50-year-old son of an English cricket player, who leads the Yankees, is much like Bill. Mr. Huggins has been called the most colorless character in baseball. Possibly he is. This should go to show how unimportant color is. Even less than his rival, does Mr Huggins suggest the heroic figure of the baseball gladiator. He is small, old looking beyond his years, and has the appearance of an ailing gentleman who must be careful about starchy foods. Mr. Huggins has one of the keenest minds in baseball and these keen minds are not exactly a handicap when you are managing ball blubs. The Cardinals' manager is Scotch and is popularly supposed to practice the frugal tendencies of the race. His square jaw and cold eyes tell of courage and determination. He is a man of his own convictions. When he thinks he is right he will play the string out, win, lose, or draw. Mr. Huggins has a much easier time handling his ball players today than when he first took over the club. Now he has more to say about the Yanks than that great martinet Mr. John J. McGraw does about the Giants. At least there is nobody around who sells any Hornsbys or Grimeses without Miller knowing about it.

Many Feature Conflicts on Week-End Hoosier Grid Program
Purdue Girds fpr Conflict With Giants Turn Welch Loose Against Minnesota Bone-Crushers Next Saturday. B.p Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 9.—Renewing a gridiron series that the oldest of football historians has difficulty in discussing glibly Jimmy Phelan’s Purdue eleven laces a tremendous task next Saturday when it meets the burly Minnesota crew at Minneapolis in the first clash between elevens representing the two schools in thirty-one years. Although here is no despair in the Boilermaker camp over the outcome .of the battle, there is no optimism, but merely a spirit of determination that augurs well for a great game. Plans Fast Attack In an effort to spring a surprise in the camp of the Northmen, Phelan undoubtedly will depend upon a speedy attack to thwart the reputed ‘‘bone-crushing” machine that Doc Spears has developed. The loss of Eb Caraway, chunky fullback, who was the middle cog in the backfield, threw a slight wrench into the Phelan machinery as originally planned for Minnesota, but he still plans to shoot a veteran ball-carrying quartet into the game. Barring injuries, Ralph Welch, Purdue’s great halfback threat, undoubtedly will be turned loose at top speed with instructions to forget his injured knee. Other Backs Paired with Welch at halfback will be either Lin Cook, A1 Guthrie, or Don McKnight, while Bill Miller at fullback and Glen Harmeson at quarterback are the best bets to complete the backfield. Captain Olson at center will probably be flanked by Hook and Greicus at guards, with Eickman and either Galletch, Sleight or Van Bibber at tackles. The wing posts are more or less of a toss-up, although Hutton or Woerner and Mackey are possibilities. FIELDS VS.

NEW YORK PAY ROLL FAR ABOVE ST. LOUIS SALARIES
BY RALPH H. TURNER United Press Special Correspondent ST.

Notre Dame and Navy Meet at Soldier Field, Chicago. BULLDOGS AT HOME Indiana, Purdue Face Big _ Ten Foes. BY DICK MILLER All opposition removed, football takes the spotlight of sportdom this week end and will reign for eight weeks. There will be upsets for the prognosticators, failures by reputed teams', as well as unexpected strength shown by the dark horses Many will journey to Chicago next Saturday to witness one of the biggest early season intersectional games of the year. Because of the early season showing of the two teams, the contest promises to be a bitterly fought battle. Notre Dame will be host to the Navy team. Looks like the Irish might have a slight edge. Butler will trot out on its stadium field for the first game in the new bowl. More than 30,000 fans may be seated in the new layout. Indianapolis is expected to turn out enmasse to help in the opening festivities which calls for a game between Butler and Franklin. I. U. and Purdue Away Indiana goes to Michigan and Purdue travels to Minnesota. Wabash also will travel, the ‘‘Little Giants” being on the home schedule of James Millikin. Pete Vaughan's team has improved fast. De Pauw Tigers after taking a bad beating at Purdue Saturday, will find themselves against a formidable opponent in Earlham. The game will be played at Greencastle. Indiana Central, pepped up with two victories in as many starts, goes to Muncie to tackle the strong Ball Teacher College team. With scoring ace of the Muncie team. Jack Liggett, fullback, on the bench with a broken shoulder, the Centra’, team is in a good position to make it three straight. Valpo at Normal Valparaiso warriors likely will take a beating when they invade Terre Haute Saturday for an encounter with Indiana State Normal. Manchester will be host to the City of Detroit College, anew school to Indiana fans. Two Friday games are on the card for this wfek-end. Hanover, after a double setback, first at Cincinnati in the opener and then last Saturday at Earlham, will again travel, but this time to Oakland City. Maybe ‘‘Red” Money can pull the Hilttoppers into the victory column this lime. Rose Poly will visit at Central Normal for the other Friday game. While the Engineer team appears to be one that will improve under the coaching of Phil Brown, ex-Butler star, it Is hardly expected It will win over Danville.

The Yankees are the most profitable club in either league and at home or on the road are the best drawing card. They bring their owners more money than any other team and thereby enable him to pay higher salaries. Whether Ruppert pays such fancy salaries because his club makes so much money'or whether the club makes so much money because he pays such good salaries is a question to be figured out during the winter months.

Although the Badgers are slated to meet North Dakota Aggies and Cornell College here in a double header this week, Coach Thistlethwaite is now pointing his men for the Purdue game at Lafayette Oct. 20. Thistlethwaite’s boys surprised the most optimistic Wisconsin fans when they upset the Irish, 22 to 6. This Cardinal team can not be called an eleven for there were more than two dozen men called upon to halt the running and passing attack of the Rockne aggregation. It was the defensive play of the Badgers together with a scoring punch that spelled victory. Wisconsin uncorked the plays that netted touchdowns when within striking distance of the invaders’ goal.
