NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—1f, by any chance, the Cardinals should lose to the Athletics in the world series—and that is a contingency which must be contemplated as altogether conceivable—Sam Breadon, owner of the Bt.

Oren Dickey TWO Ft. Wayne prep products probably will occupy the wing assignments when Indiana grid warriors make their debut under the E. C. Hayes regime Saturday at Bloomington against Ohio university’s eleven, unbeaten for two consecutive years. Dickey, nusky Junior who was a star at the position last year, appears to have his job clinched. Lyons, husky Negro star, is one of the sophomores who appear certain to win varsity berths. Nylec, guard; Anglemeyer, tackle, and Jones, full back, are other sophomore stars. “Big Boy” Jones is a standout at full back and probably will take care of the punting. Other outstanding rookies whom Hayes and his assistants, W. H. Thom, Butch Nowack and Pooch Harrell, will try Saturday are J. Sawicki, end; Stevenson, tackle; T. Sawicki, half back, and R. Dauer, quarter back.
Chicago Fans ‘Boo’ Schaaf’s Decision Over Tuffy Griffith
By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 24. Ernie Schaaf, Boston heavyweight, held a ten-round decision today over Tuffy Griffith, Chicago, but it was the most unpopular verdict won in a Chicago ring since Mickey Walker won the middleweight title from Tiger Flowers almost five years ago. The referee and two judges voted unanimously for Schaaf, but the crowd of 15,000 roared its disapproval for more than ten minutes after the fighters left the ring. When the decision was announced the crowd set up a roar, and kept it up even as late as the third round of the semi-final bout. Several fist fights broke out to add to the confusion. Both Schaaf and Griffith agreed verbally today to tentative plans for a return fight in October. Outweighed twenty-one pounds, Griffith made a courageous stand against the magnificently-built

This match appears one of the best the tourney has had so far, bringing together two young women who rate among the leaders in America’s golfing world. Miss Van Wie, runnerup to Mrs. Vare in last year’s tourney has been playing a plendid game. She qualified with an 85, compared with Miss Orcutt’s medal score of 82, and Wednesday won her match from Miss r ranees Williams, Lehigh, Pa., 5 and 4, the same score by which Miss orcutt eliminated Miss Bernice Wall, Oshkosh, Wis. Most of the golfing fans were backing Miss Orcutt to win today. Mrs. Vare opposes Mrs. Lee Federman, New York, today. Miss Enid Wilson, British champion, remained the dominant figure in the lower bracket and an almost certain finalist. She tackled Miss Marjorie

(EDITOR’S NOTE—Following is the ninth of a scries on Big Ten football prospects.) BY dEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—Wisconsin’s football teams the past two years have failed to live up to their pre-season promise. Usually an enigma in Big Ten circles, Wisconsin, with only fair material this year, might exceed the fondest ex-
ranging from a coward and a faker to that of a fighter who is willing to sacrifice his own reputation rather than participate in a fixed bout. Rumors that the bout was “fixed” for Sharkey to lose have been circulated ever since it was made. There is also a report that the entire affair is simply another of Jimmy Johnson’s unique “ballyhoo” efforts.

The visitors scored in only one inning, the sixth, against the assortment of offerings dished out by the Tribe's veteran righthander. The contest Wednesday was featured by a tremendous home run wallop over the left field wall by Johnny Kroner, the Tribe’s rookie third sacker. It was homer No. 2 In the new park and cleared the barrier with some room to spare. Kroner was second up In the sixth and followed Fred Bedore who lifted a mighty poke that left fielder Nigro captured against the bricks out near the scoreboard. Kroner also played bang-up ball at the hot corner. Koenecke doubled In the first off of Rabb’s slants to score Walker, who had singled, and the fracas remained at 1 to 0 until the fifth when the Indians scored again. In the sixth the Hens got to Burwell for four consecutive hits and tied the count. Kroner’s homer In the same stanza gave the Tribe the lead at 3 to 2 and Burwell blanked the visitors the rest of the game. Lefty Eissler took un the Toledo pitching in the eighth and was bombarded for four hits and three runs. Harrv Rosenberg batted for Lowell in this frame when the Hens changed to southpaw pitching and singled on the first ball pitched, scoring two mates Burwell scored the other marker with a one-base safety, his second hit of the day The Tribe hit total was fourteen and Burwell held the Hens to six blows.

Seventeen chances were accepted In kevstone territory bv Mulleavy and Turgeon of the Hens. Young White collected three hits for the Indians, including two doubles, and for Toledo Knickerbocker was top hitter with a double and single.
