Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—George Moriarty is definitely through at Detroit and the Tigers’ manager soon will tender his resignation to Frank Navin, owner of the club. This information comes from a reliable source. “I reealize I did not make much progress with the material I had to work with,” Moriarty stated recently. “Perhaps some other manager can do better. Detroit is a great ball town and Navin is a splendid man to work for. Both the town and the owner deserve a winner. I hope they get one soon.” a tt , Very likely Moriarty will return to the staff of the American T eague as an umpire, although there is a possibility that he may make anoth - er managerial connection. He feels that under more inviting circumstances he would be a success as a team pilot. In any event he is inclined to view his probable return to umpiring as temporary. # tt tt Three men have been mentioned as Moriarty’s successor—Bucky Harris of Washington, Art Fletcher of the Yankees and Connie Bush of the Pirates. It seems likely now that Harris may get the job. This depends largely on the matter of finances. It will cost $35,000 to purchase Harris’ release, and $15,000 or $17,500 to sign him. He is not what you might call an inexpensive baseball gadget. o tt tt tt THE situation in Pittsburgh softened as the season wore on end the Pirates started to win ball games and now it that Ownie Bush will remain where he is. In St. Louis during the series he told Charles Rigler, the umpire, that all that stood between him and Barney Dreyfuss was the size cf next year’s pay check. tt tt Fletcher was offered the Detroit „'ob before Harris became a contender and for a while it looked as if he would take it, and there’s a chance he still may go there, although as assistant to Miller Huggins he has a better job than four or five first string managers in the league, and the kind of money he draws is not wholly unattractive. n a YOUR correspondent hears that the Cleveland Indians also have approached Harris, and that if he does not sign with the Tigers, 1929 will find him at second base for the “merry millionaires.” The present manager, Roger Peckinbaugh, would be retained, young Lind, who had a fine season at the midway sack, would be shifted to short, Joe Sewell would stay at third and Johnny Hodapp at first. tt tt "1 wouldn’t mind playing under Peckinpaugh at all,” said Harris when one o fthe Cleveland agents | talked to him. “We got along all right together in Washington, and I suppose we could get along all right in Cleveland.” a u a Cleveland tried to get Harris late last winter as manager and second baseman. The club made a flat cash offer of SIOO,OOO .or him, but Clark Griffith, the Washington owner, nervously declined. Less than a year has passed and the young man’s market value has dropped about 70 per cent. All of which goes to prove that the stability of baseball flesh is very unstable.

Irish and Middies Clash in Nation's Feature Gridiron Tilt

Central Normal Pounds Rose for Victory, 26 to 0 Ba United Press DANVILLE, Ind., Oct. 13.—Central Normal grid warriors battered their way to a 26-0 victory over Rosa Poly here Friday and began work today for the Butler game at Indianapolis next week-end. The Normalites had a hard time getting started against the Engineers. The first quarter was scoreless and was featured by the defensive work of Rose Poly. Phil Brown had his proteges tackling low and hard and Normal was able to gain but little ground. Darnell and Bratton began to function in the second period and Bratton, with his vicious line thrusts and Darnell with his fine open field dashes, broke up the Engineers defense and the locals scored two touchdowns. Both points after touchdown were missed. The third period again found the Rose team stubbornly contesting every inch. Once the visitors held on the one-foot line. In the last quarter Hankins intercepted a wild Rose pass and dashed to goal and Hankins plunged off tackle for a counter. Harmon kicked both goals. Because of the extreme heat the game was shortened. The locals at times showed signs of extreme power. Rose had a fine defense, but was weak on offense and never threatened the local goal line.

Cruising in Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH

EMIL YDE, stalwart and swarthy southpaw of the pennant-win-ning Indians, came very close to hopping back into the big show, but lost out in the draft draw. The Cincinnati Reds put in a draft for the hard-hitting pitcher, but at the same time the Boston Nationals stuck in a slip asking for Dixie Leverett, and the fact Boston finished below Cincv in the race moved the draft board to recognize the Beantown bid. Yde batted .371, and he was used often as a pinch hitter. COLLEGIATE BLOOD PRESSURE WENT UP A FEW JUMPS TODAY AS THE MOLESKIN WEAR3RS POUNDED THE TURF THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

Notre Dame Listed as Pre-Game 6-to-5 Favorite. HUGE CROWD ON HAND Almost 120,000 Witness Fray at Chicago.. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Writer CHICAGO, Oct. 13.—Before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a football game, the elevens of Notre Dame and the Navy were to take the field today. It may be only mid-October, and there was no disputing the fact each of the contenders has been beaten soundly, yet a tremendous crowd was on hand when the middies and the “Irish” trotted out upon Soldier’s Field this afternoon. About 120,000 spectators were to fill the grey slopes of the big stadium for the game. The South Bend eleven was due in town a' few hours before game time; the Middies benefited little by arriving Friday afternoon, since a steady downpour of rain exasperated the groundkeepers and prevented Head Coach Bill Ingram from sending his charges through a satisfactory workout. The Navy-Notre Dame game was the feature one of a variegated program today; the "Big Ten” race was on; the leading elevens of the East were meeting their first serious opposition. Whatever happened out at Soldiers' field this afternoon had no serious bearing upon any possible claim for national gridiron honors this season. Yet there was no doubt but that football fans who long since have given up any idea that either the Navy or Notre Dame would achieve national prominence still are most vitally concerned with the outcome of today’s game between these two ever-colorful elevens. The gentlemen who arranged the betting odds named Notre Dame a 6-to-5 favorite over the Navy. There was practically no betting, so that was unimportant.

WE DON'T MEAN FLASKS. IT'S NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY FOR AN “ALUMINUM’’ TO GO BACK TO THE OLD “CAMPOOSE" AND GET PLASTERED RIGHT BEFORE THE EYES OF THE “STUGENTS".

Local option didn’t tame ’em and neither has no option at all. a it it The “whoopee” spirit is not confined to collegians, a fact brought out by the world’s series, and previous to that the political conventions.

The magnates love publicity summer and winter, and big league managerial changes are in order. More and more it is evident Rogers Hornsby will land with the Chicago Cubs, but not as pilot. The Cubs see a pennant if they secure him for second base. THE CUBS SWEAR THEY HAD THE STRONGEST CLUB WHEN THE NATIONAL RACE ENDED THE PAST SEASON.

Star Georgia Team Battles Yale Outfit Flashy Southern Back Field Invades East for Intersectional Clash. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press StafF Correspondent NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 13. Yale had its back to the wall today, with a fighting Georgia football team in front of them. The only eleven to beat Yale last season, Georgia, was favored today to be the first to accomplish the feat this season and take back to Athens, Ga„ a record of having triumphed two years in succession in the big Yale bowl—a spot where few teams'ever win a game. Georgia pinned its faith to a fourstar back field, coached by Jimmy Crowley, a member of the original “four horsemen” at Notre Dame in 1924. The southerners ’back field was composed of Johnson at quarter back, Hooks and Dudley, half backs, and McCrary, full back. “It's one of the smoothest working backfields I’ve ever seen and that includes the Notre Dame backfleld of 1924,” Crowley said. Georgia’s high-powered attack was expected to be fashioned around Bull McCrary, a line-ripping full back from Bieknell, Ind. Harry Mehre, former Notre Dame center, is head coach of the Georgia ! team. Georgia’s style of play is | near enough like Notre Dame’s for Knute Rockne to have done the job j himself.

DEPEND on Howard Jones having an outstanding backfleld performer for his Southern California Trojans Last year, it was Morley Drury, who was named All-American. Before Drury was “Devil-May” Kaer of the same caliber. Now it is Don Williams, said to be as good as either Kaer or Drury. Under the Jones system Williams will be carrying the ball most of the time from his position. The only fault Trojan officials see in William." is he plays about twice as hard as the average player‘and wears himself out.
