Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

editor H NOTE—Member* of the Newi" r J World-Telegram nnorti staff will •ondurt Jor William*' rolumn for the n** 4 week* while he it on vaeaI)ni*| Th * fo,lowln * l •>* Daniel M. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—1 t looks as If the White Sox and the Pirates wit.’ be the only major league clubs to make managerial changes for 1932. Charley Comiskey already has nominated his new leader in Lew Fonseca, while Barney Dreyfuss has released Jewel Ens, without giving a hint as to the identity of his irew choice, if he has one. There has been some talk of Donie Bush taking Harris’ olace in Dotrolt and of Philadelphia getting a auccessor to Shorten. but the chances are that both Buckv end Burt will stick. When Bush announced his resignation in Chicago it was taken for granted that he would have made no such move had he not had a new place into which to shift. But that was not the case. New York's three clubs are all set. with John J. MeGraw entering on his thirtvflrst vear as pilot of the Giants, and Joe McCarthy ready to serve* out the second season of a two-vear contract with the Yankees. In Brooklyn. Wilbert Robinson will get anew agreement for his eighteenth semester as pilot of the Dodgers. Last summer, when Robbie had some trouble with the baseball writers in Brooklyn, he was lust about to auit. But he has had a change of mind and wants to stay another vear. Nobody outside of the Dreyfuss cabinet has even a hint as to who will take the Place of Ens. Most of the guessers designate George Gibson, once leader of the Corsairs, and their catcher back In the days when Fred Clarke was winning pennants. Gibson was around Forbes Field the last weeks of the season, apparently courting a change from his Canadian farm to the turmoil of the Pittsburgh leadership. Other guessers sav the new manager will be Art Griggs, who has done very well with the Dreyfuss farm at Wichita, f-itts-burgh fans apparently are keen for neither Gibson nor Griggs, and would like to see Barney give Pie Travnor a chance at the lob. ana THE Chicago and Pittsburgh situations are giving the magnates of both majors plenty of worry. The American League, once supreme in the patronage fight in Chicago, has seen the Cubs rise to the box office championship not without pangs of regret and pains of jealousy. The magnates want the White Sox to do something about It. and their eagerness is whetted bv the fact that the eighth Diace Sox made money this past season. Charley Comiskey is old and feeble and not able to devote any attention to the White Sox. Asa result, conditions at the south side nark are not what you would call ideal. George Getz, the Chicago sportsman who was associated with Tex Rickard in the promotion of the Dempsev-Tunney fight on Soldier Field and has perfect public relations insofar as the newspapers and the snorts fans are concerned, is ready right now to buy out Comiskey at a good price. Getz has been after the White Sox for several years. At one time he thought the deal all set. But the old Roman changed his mind and decided to leave the club in trust for his heirs. Getz, in association with several other Chicago sportsmen, would put the Sox on a firmer basis. But American League men believe that Commv will not sell and that things will continue as they are for some years. Harris is going ahead with plans to revamp the Tigers. He has changed the training site to the Stanford campus at Palo Alto, which Is about forty miles from San Francisco. There will be auite a few games ,jetween the Tigers and the Giants, both at San Francisco and Los Angeles, where McGraw’s men will train.

Cardinals Seek Third Sacker, Cubs Want Two Outfielders

By Times Special CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 19.—While the Cardinals looked good enough in the National League, winning by thirteen games, and they seemed spry enough in the world series, they are going to see some changes. Gabby Street needs a third baseman and he is likely to use Chick Hafey and Jim Bottomley as the bait for the man he wants. Os course, they're all after Freddy Lindstrom of the Giants. Even Rogers Hornsby, who is supposed to be on none too friendly terms with the Terrible Swede, would welcome him on the Cubs and make some sacrifice to get him. But Lindstrom could not be obtained for what Hornsby has to offer. John McGraw would not exchange Freddy for Hafey, a proposal the Cardinals made last spring. Street may meet with greater success in the direction of Pinkie Whitney. That Hafey would be traded was made practically certain when Street benched him in the last game of the world series and sent Ernie

BIG TEN TITLE HINGES ON OHIO-WILDCAT FRAY

Purdue Hopes Fade With Badger Defeat lowa Surprises Indiana With Scoreless Tie Battle as Notre Dame, Using 57 Players, Trounces Drake, 63 to 0; Wisconsin Scores in First Period. BY DICK MILLER Wisconsin worked the “badger” game on Purdue Saturday, and Hoosier hopes for another Big Ten football championship faded. Before the season opened, the Boilermakers shared title favoritism with Northwestern and Michigan. But as modern conference races go, a defeat practically means elimination, and Purdue’s great machine seems destined for a runner-up berth. Incidentally, Michigan also tumbled to Ohio State as the Wildcats, with one eye on the scoreboard watching the outcome of the other games, rolled up an easy triumph over U. C. L. A. With a crushing first quarter rally which netted all of their points, Wisconsin smothered a late Purdue splurge and triumphed, 21 to 14.

Trinity Wins Feature Tilt in City Play Holy Trinity eleven “pulled a Wisconsin” on the rival R. P. C.s Sunday in the big game of the afternoon in the Em-Roe Senior League and chalked up three touchdowns in the first quarter. The Trinity team cut loose with a flashy pass attack to surprise their opponents. The R. P. C.s scored in the third period. The score was 19 to 6. In other senior circuit tilts Brightwood defeated Battery A of Ft. Harrison, 32 to 0 and Mohawks and Company H, national guard, fought to a tie, 6 and 6. In the Em-Roe Junior loop Trinity Bearcats kept pace with Trinity seniors by knocking off the R. P. C. Juniors, 33 to 7. In other games in this league Boys Club trimmed the Tigers, 26 to 6, Crimson Cubs beat Wizards, 13 to 0, and Riley Cubs downed Assumption A. C.s, 18 to 6. Two tight contests featured the Em-Roe City League. Vagabounds nosed out Beech Grove Red Wings, 7 to 6, and Spades defeated Indianapolis Cubs, 7 to 0. The other contest was a decisive win for Oak Hill Flashes over Midway Juniors, 34 to 0.

Crowd Records Set on Coast By United. Press PORTLAND, Ore.. Oct. 19.—There was no depression in Pacific Coast League baseball circles the past season. The loop played to its greatest attendance, with Hollywood performing before 474,148 people, of which 301,843 were paid admissions. Portland totaled 360,000, with 242,000 paid admission. The combination of tight races in each half of the split season, night baseball with women admitted free every night except Saturday and Sunday double-headers were given as reasons for the setting of anew attendance record.

Orsatti, an inferior outfielder, to left. Hafey had done next to nothing at the plate, and he had made a serious muff of a liner. However, Chick had played great ball all year. He was the batting leader of the National League and as such had to be conceded great potentialities. But out he went and Street, Sam Breadon and Branch Rickey practically served notice on the league that Hafey was on the block. St. Louis tried to trade Hafey last spring, when he was a holdout, but while there were some offers to buy, Chick’s eyeglasses scared away serious trading propositions. Don't be surprised if Hornsby makes a red hot effort to land Chick—and don’t be surprised if he gets the cold shoulder. Breadon will not do any business with Chicago. With Hack Wilson done as a Cub, and Hornsby not so sure that Vince Barton can hit major league pitch- ! ing '■onsistently, Roge is on the t hunt for two experienced fly chasers with a punch.

Moran rolled a total of 516 to lead the Spade team to a triple win over Diamond during the St. Philip Women's League play, as Clubs lost the odd game to Hearts. Last week’s league play was filled with features, the Coca Cola quintet providing the sensational work with an all-time record game of 1,188 and a r.ew season mark, over the three-game route of 3,178. Lee Carmin entered the ranks of the 700 club and took his place at the top when he crashed a 738. the season's best' mark with games of 257, 248 and 233, during the Star League play. Carmin also wins the free air ride given by the Hoosier Airport for high three-game total each week. Fay Rugh and Kelly shared high single game honors, each player hitting the maples for a 269 count. For the second time this season Mrs. Eddie Meyer won the free trip to the clouds, for women bowlers, her latest top flight showing a total of 812. Hohlt was a close second with a mark of 610. John Beam pulled a laugh for the railbirds while explaining his trip to Brown county, telling how his party was directed to Nashville’s ’’big” hotel. Lee Carmin was on his game all week, rolling an average of 231 for his nine games in league competition. Don Johnson had his strike ball working Saturday during practice play at Pritchett s. and let Frank Alford and Frank Hueber look at successive games of 276 and 266. Dave Lauer rolled a perfect 300 game during a practice session at the Uptown alleys. This is the first twelve in a row recorded this season. Lauer also found j the pocket in league plav, as his 678 ! proves. The Jesse Pritchett Girls again went over ; the 2.700 mark their latest series showing a mark of 2,740. I inker blames his expert coaching for his Caddie team's recent success and will tell any one he can collar how he is going 4o cop the pennant in the Avalon League. EBBETS FACES EASTERLING By United Pres* CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—Harry Ebbets, Brooklyn middleweight, Bill meet Buck Easterling of Kansas in an eight-round bout at White City tonight.

Like the Michigan game a year ago, the Boilermakers were out oi breath trying to battle up hill. All is quiet on the Badger front now, where Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite was threatened with loss of his job if the Badgers failed to whip Purdue. Indiana’s hopes, which had been running high, were dimmed Saturday at lowa City, where E. C. Hayes’ Hoosiers were held to a scoreless draw by the crippled but fighting Hawkeyes. Before the season opened Crimson followers looked forward to victories over lowa, Chicago and Ohio State. Notre Dame ran wild at South Bend and massacred Drake, 63 to 0, It was the biggest score rolled up by the Irish in years. Coaches Anderson and Chevigny joined Mr. Heinz, the pickle with his fifty-seven varieties, the Notre Dame coaches using just that many men in the fray. The Irish scored in every quarter, even down to the fifth team. Either the Purdue defense was disorganized at the start or overconfident, because the Badgers unleashed a drive from the first kick-off. with McGuire tossing in a thirty-three-yard dash and Schneller plunged over all in the first three minutes of play. And then the fumbles, just like those Michigan fumbles a year ago. began rolling into the waiting arms of the Badgers. Horstman’s bobble was seized first and the double cross administered Noble Kizer's bovs when the Badgers passed on fourth down. Lovshin carried the oval to the nine-yard line. Schneller again carried the oval over. Driving the Boilermakers back to their goal line, the Badgers got their last touchdown when Kabat broke through and blocked Moss' punt and recovered it in the end zone. And on those important after touchdown kicks. Linfor booted each one true. The count was 21-0 and the- first auarter not over. It was the same score at the half. It was a savage Boilermaker team from then on. While 21 points is a big lead for a conference team to hold, it was not at all safe against Purdue. Paul Fardonner, who had fumbled once at a critical time set out to redeem himself as sub for Jack White, who is Injured. Paul and Fred Hecker lead a passing and running attack with Moss doing some of the receiving. Pardonner caught one over the line for the first touchdown. Shortly after Hecker, Purvis and Moss enacted some passing that gave the Boilermakers the second marker, both in the third quarter. Purdue threatened throughout the last quarter, but couldn’t score. After being outplayed throughout most of the game coach Hayes Crimson eleven took a brace in the latter part of their game with lowa and seemed on their wav to a win. but the bark of the timer’s gun stopped them. A reinvented lowa team outgained the Hoosiers in plunging, but Jones and Edmonas punted perfectly. Once in the second auarter Vic Dauer lead an Indiana passing attack th£t carried the oval to the lowa ten-vard line, but it was snuffed out. lowa like wise had two possible chances but an intercepted pass and a fumole spoiled them. De Pauw and Franklin hold their nlace along with Valparaiso, still undefeated, in the secondary college class. The Tigers had little to offer to scouts as they played straight football, kept Wheaton under cover and won. 12 to 2. from Earlham. McCullough, a former Shortridge high school lad playing at full back, plunged through the Quakers for the first market in the initial period. After "Mac” carried the ball into scoring territory in the second period. Rice raced around end for a touchdown. The Quakers never gave up and carried the ball to the Tiger one yard line with passes in the fourth auarter. The De Pauw line held a punt from behind the line was blocked for a safety. After a scoreless first auarter, in which the Indiana State linemen exhausted their strength stopping Franklin goal line thrusts, the Terre Haute teachers wilted before the savage attack of Surface and Tom Downey, husky Franklin backs and the Grizzlies swept through to their fourth consecutive win, 40 to 0. Coach Roy Tillitson had too much reserve strength and battered the Teachers Into submission. A fourth quarter attack netted 27 points. Surface and Downey scored two touchdowns each, Martin and Utterback one and the Franklin forward played powerful games. / Central Normal ended their season in gloiw with a well earned win over Oakland City, 13 to 0 in a home-coming game at Danville. Coach Leitzman’s boys got going in the second period and Gross plunged his way down the field fbrty-two yards and then passed to Wilson over the line for a marker that made it 6 to 0 at the half. In the third quarter Gross battered away at the Oak line until he scored. Wabash, without the service of Varner submerged Ball Teachers with second and fourth period drives. End runs and lateral passes enabled Engle. Swartout and Radford to score the touchdowns. Henderson did all the scoring for Rose Poly as they recovered from their last week set back at the hands of Franklin with a 13-0 win over Hanover. The little half back dashed 62 yards for the first touchdown early in the game and later climaxed a fourth period drive by smashing over from the four-yard line. Defiance college smeared Manchesters homecoming with a 6 to 0 win. Chapman and Piper passed and ran well until in i scoring range when Defiance always braced. Gordon ran 42 yards and Ebersole took j the opportunity to plunge over late in the game.

While the boys block and kick and charge on the old practice field, Metzger is in the somewhat prosaic business of delivering milk.

Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

LEFTY LEIFIELD. manager of the champion St. Paul Saints, has been added to the list of candidates the major dopesters have lined up to succeed Jewel Ens as Pittsburgh pilot. Lefty was a star hurler with the Bucs years ago and gained fame during the 1909 world series when Pittsburgh beat Detroit four games to three. He was a big league coach and scout before taking over the reins at St. Paul. It is said Barney Dreyfuss admires his record. a a a According to stove league gossip in Chicago Owner Wrigley of. the Cubs would be pleased if Manager Hornsby makes a deal with Cincinnati for Hack Wilson. Evidently Wrigley desires to see Hack land with a club out of money so his salary will be reduced about $25,000. Another thing, Cincy has an immense park and Wilson would find it a difficult matter there to collect home runs. nun HORNSBY seems to think outfielder Crabtree of the Reds is a prospect and may try to secure him. Crab is fast, has a good arm and knows how to cover territory. The Cub pilot believes some personal coaching would improve the skinny fly chaser’s stick work some twenty points. Rogers is striving to get more speed on his club to cut down the number of double plays that are executed by Cub opponents. Bon Dutch Ruether, former major ac? flinger, says the big leaguers are overlooking a good bet in outfielder Sulik of the San Francisco Seals. Dutch has much to say in the way of praise for the young man. Night baseball in the Coast league has sounded taps for veterans, Ruether states. The cool evenings chill the old timers and ruin their effectiveness, he explains, ‘lt’s a young

Burleigh announced the Cardinals gave him permission to dicker with other National League teams previous to the series. a it a It may happen, however, that the champs’ bosses have changed their minds since Burleigh stepped out and knocked off the Athletics twice. Grimes’ season record previous to the title battles was not sensational. He won 17 games and lost 9.

Breen, McKibben and Wyss one each. Mueller raced back a kickoff eighty yards for one marker. Lou Reichel has another outstanding player at Park this fall. This time it is full back Cullen. Against Plainfield Saturday afternoon he raced through the outstaters for seven touchdowns to scored all but nine points of the 52 total. Reed, half back, scored one extra point. Park scored twice in each quarter.

At the time, Crispus Attucks was leading, 6-0. One touchdown in the second quarter was not allowed, and with three minutes to play, Shelbourne chose to accept the forfeit, 1-0 defeat, rather than allow his team to proceed.

Rejuvenated Buckeyes Threat to Favorites Carl Cramer Leads State to Surprise Win Over Michigan; Purdue Bows to Wisconsin, Joins Wolverines as Discarded Choices for Crown. BY GEORGE RIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 19.—With two of the favorites already beaten, the Big Ten football race took on added interest today with the prospect of a series of surprises during the remainder of the season. Michigan. Purdue and Northwestern were favored to go through their conference schedules undefeated, but the second week of the campaign finds Michigan and Purdue already toppled and Northwestern facing a severe test in its first Big Ten game this week. Northwestern plays Ohio State. Michigan's conqueror, at Columbus Saturday, and the Wildcats can breeze to the title if they stop the Buckeyes.' If Ohio State's rejuvenated eleven turns in another upset, the Big Ten race will be scrambled beyond all calculation.

Unexpected defeats for Michigan and Purdue has left Northwestern its greatest chance in Big Ten history to win the title outright. After the Ohio State game, Northwestern plays Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana and lowa, considered the four weakest teams in the conference. Big Comeback for Ohio Michigan met deleat for the first time in fifteen games. Ohio State’s 20-7 triumph over Michigan is all the more amazing when it is considered the Buckeyes bounded back from a 26-21 defeat at the hands of Vanderbilt a week previous. Carl Cramer, sophomore quarter back phenom, directed the Buckeyes to victory with runs, passes and plunges. A dazzling first-period attack that netted three touchdowns enabled Wisconsin to turn back the highly favored Purdue eleven, 21-14. Purdue came back and scored two touchdowns in the third period, but could not shake the Badgers loose from their lead. Indiana Held Even Making the second week of the Big Ten season a complete day of upsets, lowa’s crippled team, badly beaten by Pittsburgh and Texas A. and M., fought Indiana to a scoreless tie. The Big Ten, which has fared badly in intersectional rivalry this i season, divided its two intersectional games. Yale beat Amos Alonzo University of Chicago Maroons? 27-0, and Northwestern beat the University of California (Los Angeles), 19-0. In the other game played by a Big Ten team, Illinois easily won i from Bradley, 20-0.

Who’s Next? By Times Special SOUTH BEND. Ind., Oct. 19. —When Steve Banas left the Notre Dame lineup Saturday with a broken finger, he was the eighth full back in less than a year to fall victim of a strange jinx. Banas, a sophomore whose natural position is left half back, will be out for ten days. His successor probably will be George Melinkovich, another made-over sophomore left half back. Since Joe Savoldi withdrew from school the week of the Northwestern game in 1930, Mullins, O'Connor and Howard were graduated, Hanley and Steab did not return to school and Nick Lukats broke a leg. Banas is the latest victim.
