N. D. Eleven May Attain Crowd Mark Many Feature Games Gives Irish Chance at Attendance Record. >/ Times BveeUil SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Sept, 24. Attendance records for collegiate football are almost certain to be shattered this season by Notre Dame in its schedule of nine games. The Irish will perform four times at Soldiers’ field, Chicago, because their own Cartier field is torn up in the process of construction of anew stadium. On two past occasions Notre Dame has drawn more than 100,000 spectators. The Southern CaliforniaNotre Dame contest in 1927 drew 115.000 persons to Soldiers’ field, while last year 122,000 spectators watched Knute Rockne's team defeat the Navy, 7 to 0. When the Irish meet Southern California this fall in Chicago, they may play to their greatest crowd yet, while the Wisconsin and Northwestern games also will find them packed in. The game with Drake on the Soldiers’ field gridiron also is expected to attarct a fairly large crowd. Away from home, Notre Dame will play before crowds of from 25,000 to 85,000 with Indiana at Bloomington, Navy at Baltimore, Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech at Atlanta and Army at New York. GOOSE DRAWS FINE The bench recently signaled to Goose Goslin to let a pitch go past j It looked too good, so Goose smacked it. He was fined SIOO.

Weighs 185, Is Fast, and Spirit Is Good, Smith Explains. WORKS HARD MONDAY Big Scrap Occurs Thursday in New York. BY JOE SMITH

Mtnat'r of Tommy Loaghran (Written for the United Press) HARVEY’S LAKE, Pa., Sept. 24. —ln his final boxing workout here for his heavyweight match against Jack Sharkey in the Yankee stadium, New York, on Thursday night, Tcmmy Loughran supplied an example of the sort of a battle he is going to wage against the big Bostonian. Tommy was tough in his threeround tiff with Frankie Caw.ey. Loughran is going to be that when in the ring with Sharkey. The strenuous workout. Monday, in addition to boxing, included calisthenics, bag punching and rope jumpingeight rounds in all. When Loughran is right he always has a keen, burning desire to win. That’s why I know he is right for this fight. Loughran is in the best condition of his fighting career. He went through his final boxing workout Monday afternoon, following a four-mile jaunt on the road. He has been doing road work every other day since he came to camp in addition to other exercises, to toughen and harden himself. So, when he stepped on to the scales at the end of his workout Monday afternoon and weighed 185 pounds, I was satisfied. At that weight, a man should be big and strong enough to lick any one else, no matter whether his opponent is a giant—that is, providing the smaller has the class, and Tommy has the class.

When the Cubs went into spring training at Catalina, it was conceded that Gabby Hartnett would do most of the catching. . . Prior to the opening of the season, something went wrong with Hartnett’s arm. . . Mike Gonzales stepped in and was hurt. . . . For a time Catchers Angley and Grace had to carry the burden. .... Johnny Schulte was secured as protection. . . . Taylor is just a fair hitter, but is a good mechanical receiver. . .

Thirteen Indiana College Elevens Swing Into Action Next Saturday Butler Entertains Illinois Wesleyan; Hoosiers to Open at Home With Twin Bill.

BY DICK MILLER Eyes of Hoosier sport fans will turn to the gridiron this week for the official opening of the 1929 football season. Thirteen of the eighteen collegiate elevens will get into action Saturday. Butler will dish out its first and only early season game at Butler bowl, with Illinois Wesleyan as opponents. The Bulldogs should win this game handily and still get a good tussle to put them on edge for the Northwestern game at Evanston a week later. Two for Pagemen Pat Page’s Crimson warriors are to be tossed into a double-header, tackling Ohio university and Wabash. The Buckeye eleven is unheralded. Still, Michigan received a surprise last year, and the same is possible at Bloomington. The Little Giants are not reputed to be strong enough to upset the Hoosiers, but Santa Claus couldn’t give Pete Vaughn anything better than a victory over Pat Page and nothing

IF all the Wildcats on the Northwestern university football squad were as wild as the Wildcat captain, Henry Anderson, what a football team Coach Dick Hanley would put in the Big Ten race this season. The Wildcat leader is rugged and fast for his weight. Anderson is adept at pulling out of the line to block for his half backs. Whether or not Northwestern ranks near the top in the conference standing, the Purple leader undoubtedly will be one of the outstanding guards of the organization.

world series between the Athletics and the Cubs. And when the lanky Ehmke has hurled the final ball In that Contest he will announce his retirement. He will never pitch another game. Connie Mack’s aging moundsman has never pitched in a world series. Many a fine ball game has been hurled by the ancient Ehmke. In 1923, while a member of the Boston Red Sox, he entered baseball’s hall of fame by setting down the Athletics hitless and runless. A few days later, In his very next start, he twirled a one-hit game against the league-leading Yankees, being robbed of a second successive no-hit game by a bad bounder that squirted through the infield for a safety. In Connie Mack’s quest for righthanded pitching, which, the experts declare, will be necessary to withstand the attack of those righthanded Cub batters, the tall pilot may select Ehmke to start one of the games if his southpaws fail him.

Routis Loses Feather Toga to Battalino Amateur Champion of 1927 Easily Takes Ten of Fifteen Rounds. B" Untie if Hr-.,. HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 24. There is anew featherweight champion of the world today—a hitherto rather unknown Italian youngster of 21, Bat Battalino of Hartford. Christopher Battalino, whose previous claim to professional fistic fame was a victory over A1 Brown, world's bantamweight title claimant, now wears the 126-pound t-oga by virtue of a fifteen-round victory over Andre Routis of France at the Hurley stadium here Monday night. Routis, managed by Joe Jacobs and disqualified in New York state, risked his championship here against the rugged Connecticut Italian, and was decisively defeated. Battalino won ten of the fifteen rounds easily. Unknown to most fight fans until recently, when he defeated Brown, Battalino proved the little Frenchman’s master throughout the fight. The referee’s count gave him a perfect score, although Routis, battling gamely, actually won a round now and then. Battalino weighed 124’i, Routis, 125%. The new champion has been fighting as a professional for only two years. He won the national amateur featherweight championship at Boston in 1927. PHILLIPS SHADES CROWLEY Bu United Press PITTSBURGH. Pa., Sept. 24. Tug Phillips of Erie, Pa., substituting for Phil McGraw Detroit florist, outpointed Tommy Crowley, Pittsburgh lightweight, in ten rounds here Monday night.
