Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—1f you don't mind, old man Williams *dll drift back to the world series lor a few moments. Don’t be alarmed. I'm not going to talk about Pepper Martin any more, or even the Cardinals. To me one of the most fascinating things about a world series trip Is the people you meet. I mean alter the game is over you stt around and tallc shop, and always there Is an old timer who drifts in to give you a fill-in on some team or some player who heretofore has been to you a sort of sketchy legend. At anv rate one of the games in Philadelphia I found myself sitting around a table and among those present was Harry Davis, a member of the old Athletics and a great first baseman In his day. I had Ho recollection of ever seeing Davis on the ball field, but I had heard and read a lot about him. I iound him to be an elderly gentleman with a keen mind a sharp wit and an enduring loyalty. X had ridden in from the ball park with one of the Philadelphia writers who had viewed the game irom the lower stands. He had told me about Connie Mack going Into a rage on the bench following a play In which Bing Miller. Instructed to bunt, hit a pop flv Into the hands of the Cardinals first baseman. This struck me as odd. I had never heard of Connie giving vent to hts emotions in public. From where I sat in the press box I could not see Connie or his men In the dugout. I repeated the Story as It had been told to me. At the moment Davis was carving a steak. He waited until I was through, laid down his weapons, wiped his ruddy face with a large white naokln. and stood Up: *'l don't care who told you that story it Isn't so. Connie never bawled out a man on the bench In his life. I played with him for fifteen years and I know. If you print that story you are going to be wrong.” a a a I DIDN’T print it. It didn’t strike me as being very important anyway. And besides, Davis seemed to be an interesting character. He had started out with Mack In the early days and he was a member of the A's >along with Rube Waddell. No one In baseball has Interested me so much as the Rube. I saw him when he was fading. He was pitching for the Minneapolis club In the American Association. Facing the Memphis club In the Southern League In a spring game on a raw, frosty day he fanned the first nine men to step to the plate, then he quit. Conceding that he was not pitching against a host of Wagners and Cobbs from then on I was ready to believe all I had heard about the Rube. A little later In life, I happened to be In Hickman. Ky., when dot ole debbll, the Mississippi, was acting up. The levee broke, threatening to swamp the village. The Rube was in town. All night long he worked with Negro laborers, with a rousing song on his 11ns, and bare to the waist, helping to build a barricade of sand bags. Afterward I learned he caught a cold that night which led to his death. So in this way I think I have been closer In memory to the Rube than any other ball player I have ever known. tt n tt Sitting around with Davis, a man who had played with him and outlived him. was no minor thrill. Did he recall the time when the Rube called the outfielders In and retired the side without a hit—perhaps the most enduring piece of romanticism in the Rube's career? Davis did He was in fact. In that game. So was John McOraw. You should ask McGraw about that sometime. At the time. McGraw was with the Orioles. The first time the Orioles (of Baltimore of course), had faced the Rube they beat him, and largely because the Rube was full of lager. The next time It was different. The Rube was right and they couldn't touch him. By way of rubbing it in when the ninth Inning rolled around the Rube, from his position In the box, turned to the outfielders and called them In. The common belief is that he sent them to the bench, and played the game out with six men. But he didn’t. You are listening to Davis talk. "What he did was to call them to the Infield, and instead of having four men In the Infield we had seven. The infielders practically stood shoulder to shoulder. Naturally there was no one in the outfield at all. I forget whether there was one out or none when the Rube called the outfielders in. “It doesn’t make much difference. The Rube proceeded to retire the side and win the game. It was his theatrical way of showing how good he was." Davis then revealed how Mack handled the Rube. There was always a bottle of brandy in the clubhouse. Mack bought the dally bottle and Davis kept it in hts locker. If the Rube was to pitch and he seemed a bit rocky It was up to Davis to take care of him. A snorter of brandy usually did the work. Mack seldom talked to the Rube. When he did he always addressed him as George. This flattered the Rube. Davis went this one better. He always addressed him as George Edward, which flattered him beyond description. The Rube never liked to be called the Rube. "How would you rank him with Grove?” “I wouldn't trade one Rube for four es them,” answered Davis. And presumably this includes the cover charge of brandy.

IRISH DEFEND UNBEATEN RECORD AGAINST DRAKE

N. D. Faces Own Style Des Moines Eleven Uses Rockne System of Attack. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 14 —Although Northwestern broke Notre Dame's string of twenty straight victories by last week’s scoreless tie, the Irish found anew record today to spur them on against Drake. Back in 1911, 1912 and 1913, when the late Knute Rockne played left end, the Irish won 20 out of 22 games, tying the other two. The present team has twenty victories and one tie to its credit and can set anew mark by defeating Drake here Saturday. Saturday’s battle will be the sixth between Drake and Notre Dame, with the Irish winner in the five previous battles and favored in this one because of superior reserve strength. It will be a unique battle, with Drake this year using the Notre Dame system with slight modifications. It is the first time in history that Notre Dame has met its own style of play and Coach Hunk Anderson. is perfecting anew defense to meet his own stuff. Anderson will meet the N. D. system again at Baltimore on Nov. 14, when Navy, coached by Rip Miller, former Irish tackle, tackles the Hoosiers. No serious injuries were reported after Saturday’s game with Northwestern. Coach Anderson is expecting a real battle Saturday, with Drake producing its annual surprise. Last year, Ossie Solem’s eleven was one of the four teams to score on Notre Dame. Saturday’s game will start at 2 p. m. Central standard time, and will be broadcast by WKBF, Indianapolis, and WSBT, South Bend.

Brady Takes on Trammel in Armory Top; Cancela Winner

Jackie Braday, a topnotch welter from Syracuse, N. Y„ who thumped Jackie Purvis in a previous showing here, will return next Tuesday to take on Duke Trammel of Ft. Worth, Tex., in the ten-round main event at the Armory. A ten-rouna semi-windup and a prelim card crowded with slugging stole the show over a listless maingo on the Legion program Tuesday night. Tony Cancela, Detroit light heavyweight, was given a decision over Muggs Kerr, local battler, in a slow ten-round main event. There was little action. Cancela won all the way. There was all too frequent clinching. Billy Rose's left jab brought the Cincinnati welter another local triumph when he thumped out a tenround shade triumph over Jackie Purvis. It was close all the way,

to the Cubs reads like fiction. He is a youngster, about 21, and was employed in a Sacramento bank, playing amateur and independent ball for recreation. One day th® regular Sacramento third baseman was struck on the head by a pitched ball and knocked out. Hard up for inflelders, the Sacramento club induced Hack to fill in at the job, and the youth made good in a big way. It was like finding $50,000. Hack bats left-handed, weighs about 170 and is a six-footer. Furthermore, he is fast.

Kizer Prepares Purdue for Surprise Attack by Badgers

By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 14.—Although the Boilermakers got away to a victorious start in the Big Ten title race here Saturday by defeating Illinois, the husky Badgers loom as a distinct threat to Purdue’s hopes next Saturday. The Wisconsin eleven has shown great potential power in its preliminary battles, and Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite is expected to cut loose with the full power of his offense in his Big Ten opener. Mai Elward, Purdue's assistant coach, scouted the Badgers Saturday, and in making his analysis of the Wisconsin eleven, reported an unu-ually heavy team that is ideally fitted for a typical Warner type of offense that depends on power and drive. Thistlethwaite has been frankly pointing his squad for the Conference opener with the Boilermakers

H. S. Insurance Plan Offers Chance to Utilize Rich Fund

BY DICK MILLER. The announcement by A. L. Trester, commissioner, that the Indiana High School Athletic Association is interested in arriving at a basis whereby football injuries received by prep players may be covered by insurance is far-reaching in its importance.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

and a number of observers are of the opinion that the Badgers have been playing “possum.” Elward’s report of the Badger strength has led Coach Noble Kizer to place unusual emphasis on the improvement of the Boilermaker offense, particularly the blocking. Although Purdue’s forward wall turned in a brilliant defensive performance against Illinois, with Captain Miller knifing through repeatedly to catch Berry and Cook from behind, its work on the offensive was decidedly spotty. While Purdue’s running game did not appear to be up to par against the Illini, its aerial attack, with Paul Moss making sensational catches, gained ground by leaps and bounds, and Kizer expects to resort to the air in attempting to down the Badgers, as Elward reported the Madison crew rather weak on pass defense.

ment issued April 17, 1931, amounted to $141,565.84, and it has been this growing sum that in recent years has caused turbulent uprisings among the membership of the organization. It was agreed finally that there would be an annual redistribution of the financial profits, earned at various tournaments and games, particularly the final basketball tournament. Because the I. H. S. A. A. is an organization that has grown in membership along with its treasury, there has been much discussion concerning whether the member who joined the past few years while the organization was reaping heavy profits after years of an uphill fight should share equally with the oldtime member. It is felt the insurance scheme with its premiums will utilize some of the profits of the organization in a fair manner.

Stagg to Introduce New Chicago Attack Against Y ale Saturday

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—Amos Alonzo Stagg, dean of all living football coaches and inventor of the shift play, has devised anew offensive play in his fortieth year as University of Chicago mentor and plans to introduce it against Yale this week. Stagg has cherished his new play since last spring, and had hoped to employ it against Michigan last week, but a last-minute disruption of the Chicago back field caused him to abandon the innovation. The Maroon backs have had plenty of time this week to develop the new offensive, and it will be used against Stagg’s alma mater in Yale's first invasion of the middle-west.

The Maroon line which played through the entire game without a substitution held off Michigan's powerful attack throughout the game. With Paul Stagg back at quarter back, and Vinson Sahlin, a midget back who is expected to rival Albie Booth’s play, recovered from a back injury, the Maroons will place their most formidable offense of the season in the field. Pete Zimmer and Bob Wallace, another fleet runner, will complete the backfield. These players have been thoroughly schooled In Stagg’s new offensive weapon.
