From Pealm Beach, Fla., Howley wired: "It is hard for me to say at this time just what is the outlook for the Reds in 1930. A little later on I will be in a better position to say what are our hopes for the coming year.” Gabby Street, newly appointed manager of the St. Louis Cardinals as successor to Bill McKechnie, is more laconic in the matter of predictions for the ecoming year than when he wore mask and mitt and "rode” opposing batters. "The present outlook for my club is good,” Street wired.

He has been a notable figure in baseball and with his part retirement the honor of being dean among A.

The coaches’ association has become one of the most powerful factors in football and its advisory committee now sits in at the deliberations of the football rules committee. Last year the coaches succeeded in having the fumble rule put in the code.

Two of the stock subjects of controversies, the point after touchdown, and the return to the goal post line, are certain to receive attention.

When the American Association was organized in 1902 the records disclose the pilot of the St. Paul club at that time was M. J. Kelley, and the fact the veteran is carrying on in the league speaks well for his ability and endurance. Only two seasons since the league was launched found him missing from the helm of one of the clubs. tt B B Most of Mike’s managerial years have been spent with St. Paul and Minneapolis. He took over the Indianapolis team in 1913, but failed to lift it out of a rut- and it changed ownership during the campaign. o a IN recent years Kelley has delivered several interesting sermons, one dealing with young men taking up baseball. He says lads nowadays don’t start in early enough in life at the league game. In the old days, according to Mike, boys of 16 or 17 cut away from home ties and tried their hand in the small minors. He said he was a full-blown leaguer at 17. u a tt According to stove league gossip, Art Nehf. the Hoosier southpaw, is going to be cut adrift by the Chicago Cubs and left with Los Angeles after the Cubs break camp on the coast the coming spring. Wrigley, the gum magnate, owns both teams. B tt tt Freddie Lindstrom, popular and skillful third sacker with the Giants, has blossomed out as a semi-pro basketball manager during the offseason in Chicago. Lindstrom once said he believed he would prefer being a Notre Dame half back than a big league ball player if it wasn’t for the .'Salary attached. tt B tt CASEY JONES, well-known announcer at Redland field, Cincinnati, has lost his megaphone job. The club will use loud speakers throughout the park next season instead of the popular Casey, who is a railway engineer when not occupied at the ball park. Sidney Weil, new Cincy owner, has promised to take care of Jones with a gate job. n tt Adam Comorosky is telling friends the Pirates have done will by their Adam for 1930.

B tt tt The Pittsburgh outfield now is intact for the coming campaign, for the two Waner boys already were in line for 1930. a a tt JOHNNY HODAPP recently told friends he learned more about playing second bases from Oscar Meililo of the Browns than from stars who rate above Oscar in big i league rating. When Cleveland shifted Hodapp to second he started asking questions of other American League keystone sackers, and it seems the advice given by Meililo straightened him out.

BV VERN BOX ELL Western Conference basketball teams have an unusual custom of breaking pre-season predictions, but on the eve of the 1930 rac>. North western and Michigan appear to be outstanding contenders, closely followed by Purdue and Wisconsin. This is the same quar'rt which finished on top last season. Indiana has not shown well in early games, and has been counted out oi the title running. Illinois appears strong and while not of title caliber probably will provide some upsets. Ohio State, conquerors of Notre Dame Saturday night, are in the same class with the Illini. Chicago and Minnesota appear to be outclassed completely. Former Hoosier Stars Three of the Northwestern quintet, that appears to be in front a* the present time, are former Indi* ana high school stars. Captain Rut Walter of Kokomo at center, McCames of Logansport at guard and Lockhart of Martinsville at guard, have played important roles in the Purple’s string of victories. Bergherm. who gained gridiron fame as a full back this fall, and Riel, a veteran, complete the first five. Michigan, -captained by Bob Chapman, who teamed with Stretch Murphy on the Marion prep champions in 1926. has a veteran five. Wisconsin has been favored by one of the easiest schedules of the group, and the return of two prominent veterans. Chimelewski and Faster, gives the Badgers a strong nucleus. Hopes Rest on Veterans Purdue’s hopes rest on co-Cap-tains Murphy and Harmeson, and Boots, veterans of three years’ experience. Johnny Wooden, brilliant floor guard, who starrred with Cur-tis-coached machines at Martinsville, will be one of the chief cogs in the Boilermaker attack. Indiana, with a veteran quintet, has lost all pre-conference games, to De Pauw, Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania, top-notch opponents. The Deanmen may hit their stride and cause some trouble. Captain McCracken, Indiana’s all-conference star, who placed second to Murphy last season in scoring, appears better than ever and has scored most of the Hoosier’s points.
