Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

By United Press NEW YORK, Nov, 15.—Ray Schalk will wear a National League monkey suit next season. He will be with the Giants, as parttime catcher and full-time coacher. Mr. John Joseph McGraw says he will be his assistant. No one has ever been able to discover just what an asssistant man-

ager of the is supposed to do besides pose in the group pictures. Mr. McGraw does everything but dress the players. He tells the batters what to hit and the pitchers what to pitch. If any heavy thinking has to be done it is his noble onion that risks the fatal consequences. Nobody on his

Joe Williams

ball club is supposed to think. The chances are that no assistant is going to have much chance to assist as long as John Joseph is able to crawl into the dugout. M a Schalk began his major league career with the Wh ;te Sox in 1912. He remained continuously with that club until midsummer of last season when he resigned. There is always something behind the resignation of a ball player. Few of them ever actually resign. The great majority are asked to resign. tt n n SCHALK WAS MANAGER OP THE WHITE SOX. THE TEAM WAS FLOUNDERING. THERE WAS A CONFERENCE WITH CHARLES COMISKEY. THE AGED OWNER, AT WHICH IT WAS AGREED A CHANGE WOULD BE FOR THE BEST ALL AROUND. “BUT YOU STAY AS A PLAYER AND A COACH OF THE PITCHERS.” INSISTED COMISKEY. tt tt tt SO SCHALK devoted two weeks to intensive training and got himself in shape to go behind the bat again. There was another conference at which the terms of a revised contract were discussed. tt tt tt Schalk was getting $25,000 as manager. “You know you’ll have to take a cut,” said Comiskey. and the catcher nodded his acquiescence. A few moments later a new contract was handed him to sign. It called for $7,500, a reduction of $17,500. tt tt tt SCHALK REFUSED THE CONTRACT AND RESIGNED. “I DIDN’T MIND A CUT.” HE EXPLAINED LATER, “BUT I CERTAINLY WASN'T GOING TO STAND FOR AN AMPUTATION.” THE GIANTS, I HEAR. ARE PAYING KIM $12,000. tt tt tt SCHALK fought for Comiskey, for the White Sox and for baseball in 1919 when Gandil, Risberg, Weaver, Cicotte, Jackson, Felsch and their scheming associates sold out to the gamblers. tt tt a He walked into the clubhouse after the third game had been lost and challenged Cicotte and Risberg, bigger, heavier and stronger men, to a fist fight. He was convinced they were in a plot. a tt tt “YOU GUYS ARE CROOKS,” THE 140POUND SPIT FIRE THUNDERED. "AND I NEVER SAW A CROOK I COULDN'T WHIP.” . . . ONE MIGHT BE DISPOSED TO ASK: “WELL, WHAT WAS COMISKEY TO DO WITH SCHALK GIVE HIM THE BALL CLUB?” tt tt tt OF course not, if it was fair to trim his salary from $25 000 to $7,500, then Napoleon was a pacifist, the James boys were theologians and crime is an unknown affliction on the banks of Lake Michigan.

Efforts Made to Heal Break Among Butler, Wabash, De Pauw

Potsy Clark Communicates With Scarlet and Tiger Football Authorities, HOPES FOR 1929 GAMES Split May Extend to All Sports, He Says. BY DICK MILLER Some likelihood of Butler university football team meeting De Pauw and Wabash on the gridiron in 1929 existed today. Football relations between these three schools, broken off last fall, faced a slight chance of being resumed. George (Potsy) Clark, athletic director at Butler, rekindled the flame of hope when he communicated with Harry Scholler, athletic di rector at Wabash and W. L. Hughes, director at DePauw, and extended a series of propositions upon which new contracts for meetings on the gridiron between the traditional rivals again might be established. If De Pauw and Vabash do not see their way clear to accept the Butler football terms, the severance of relations ultimately may extend to all branches of athletics, Coach Clark intimated. Demand Home and Home Hughes, Scholler and Clark met last fall at which time the directors at Wabash and De Pauw insisted that Butler enter Into home-and-home games with them. Merchants at Crawfordsville and Greencastle demand a big football game in their cities each fall, the two directors argued. Because De Pauw plays at Wabash one year and Wabash at De Pauw the next, the two teams were without a big home game, in alternate years, with each

of them playing Butler at Indianapolis, they slid. They could not get together on terms and ButlerWabash and Butler-De Pauw 1928 battles were not carded. Offers by Clark The propositions sent by Clark today cover four different arrangements, as follows: 1. Home and home arrangement. SSOO guarantee, no option. 2. Home and home arrangement,. $2,500 guarantee, with option of 50 per cent gate. 3. Home and home arrangement, two years at De Pauw or Wabash. $1,500 guarantee, with option of 50 per cent of gate. 4. All games at Indianapolis on 50-50 basis. In all these propositions minor arrangements in connection with percentage basis offers are not included. Clark said he was building his 1929 schedule to include several high-class attractions. It appears certain Butler will pla j University of Louisville at Louisvillt Oct. 12 during an American Legion convention. Butler goes to Washington University, St. Louis, on Nov 23. Whether Butler will play a Thanksgiving day game in 1929 depends on how the fans turn out this year to see the Tufts conflict. No Illinois Game Illinois is out of the question for Oct. 5 and likely will not appear on the Bulldog schedule. If Clark decides to play a home game Oct. 5 lie likely will schedule Muncie Normal Franklin might be accorded the date of Sept. 28. As the prospective schedule now stands three dates artavailable for Wabash and De Pauw to accept. Coach Clark left today for the east on a schedule building trip. Before leaving he wired Loyola of New Orleans that the Butler faculty opposed a post season game there during the Christmas holidays this year and than Led the Crescent City university for the invitation.

Evansville School Goes to Court in Effort to Evade Board Ruling Bosse Obtains Restraining Order Against State Athletic Officials; Suit Expected to Be Ignored.

Bn Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 15.—A temporary injunction restraining the Indiana State High School Athletic Association from interfering with the completion of the Bosse high school of Evansville football schedule the remainder of the season was looked upon with interest by more than 700 high schools in the state today. Bosse athletic teams on Nov. 3 were barred from competition with teams in the I. H. S. A. A. until Jan. 1, 1929. The board of control ruled the Bosse coach had without just cause removed his team from the field during a contest with Jasper academy before the completion of the game. Bosse is scheduled to meet Reitz high of. Evansville on Nov. 17 and Central high of Evansville on Nov. 24, which two games would settle the Evansville city supremacy. Efforts to have Bosse reinstated were made. They failed and Wednesday two Evansville business men appealed to Judge E. P. Lockyear, Evansville, who issued the injunction and named Nov. 26, two days after the city play is completed, for final hearing. NO BOARD ACTION LIKELY Other Evansville Schools in Danger If They Play Bosse. According to local opinion today in the Evansville fight with the State High School Athletic Association, the board of control is expected to ignore the restraining order and leave the matter entirely

Still Talking of Dempsey’s Fistic Plans Newest Is That Jack May Meet Paolino Next Summer. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Jack Dempsey may meet Paolino Uzcudun or Jack Sharkey in a bout at Yankee Stadium next summer and heavyweight champion’s return’ to the ring is likely to be made in January. Those are the paramount points 'which fight experts are taking for granted today after three days of conferences between Dempsey and Rickard. Although everything points to Dempsey coming back again, the thing that is troubling both Rickard and Dempsey is that neither of them is sure the former champion can get himself back into shape to meet a first rate contender. “I don’t know myself from day to day what I’m going to do,” Dempsey said. “If I return to the ring, it will be for Rickard and on Rickard’s terms.”

up to the principals of the three schools who also are named as defendants in the suit. The constitution of the I. H S. A. A. gives to the board of control the power to suspend members. It also automatically suspends from the association teams that compete with members of the association not in good standing. Local high school authorities predicted that the board would not interfere with the injunction and remain silent in the matter. If Central and Reitz play Bosse they too might be suspended, the rule being the I. H. S. A. A. never interferes with teams before they play ineligibles. LEAGUIT“BEGiNS PLAY E. C.

Army Is Not Excited Over Navy’s Action Annapolis Given ‘Cold Shoulder’ by West Point Athletic Bosses. By United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 15.—The Navy’s move to open negotiations for a truce with the Army has been given the “cold shoiilder” by authorities of the United States Military academy. Practically all chance of the two service academies meeting in football in 1929 or 1930 was removed Wednesday, when the West Point publicity department issued a statement saying all “key” games for both years had been filled. “Because the contract for football games between the Army and Navy was arbitrarily broken by the Navy, officers and cadets here are unable to understand why the Navy reserves a date for a football game or any other athletic activity for the Army,” the statement read. “On Sept. 5, Major P. B. Fleming announced that the 1929 football schedule listing games with Harvard, Yale, Illinois, Notre Dame and Stanford had been completed and closed. The Notre Dame game Is scheduled on the last Saturday In November. Officers here are outspoken in statements that these arrangements can not be broken or violated. It is, therefore, impossible for the service institutions to meet in athletics. All the key games for 1930 have also been arranged and agreements signed.” BADGERS FEAR FlAll\| Wisconsin Grooms Defensive Backs to Offset lowa’s Big Star.
