Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
BY DANIEL M. DANIEL New YORK. Oct. 31—Joe Williams, New York World-Tele-Bra m: Dear Joe—While you were away on four fortnight's holiday they went and fired Wilbert Robin*on. Not that getting the air won t be a fine thing for your Uncle Robbie's health. He may be induced to call It a career and stop chasing around with a collection of grief called by a name other than the Cardinals, who seem to have a strangle hold on Mr. Heydler’s pennant. .As V°n know. Colonel, manaztne an outfit like the Broolkvn club calls for greater Physical effort than a 9-vear-old veteran way be eanabie of. Max Carev is sure to discover that even a comparative kid of <1 can be utterly tired out bv the surprtslns fuslleers 1 have been inouirins after the grand reason that suddenly promoted Robbie's erstwhile unyielding supporters to step from under. It seems. Joe—it seems that Robbie, at his time of life, declined to become a breath-snifferl _ Yes. sir! That's what they told me in flat bush. Just why. in times of prohibition. a baseball manager should have to be a breathsntffer is bevond me. I remember, years ago. when a succession of roommates of Ping Bodie, ona Francslco Ptzzola. complained of his gnr--eating expeditions Miller Huggins exclaimed. “am I the club breath-sniffer?” However. Joe. I have heard of no complaints about any garlic atrocities on the Brooklyn club. X am very much afraid. Colonel, that beer Is at the .bottom of it! In* fact. Colonel, the entire National Teague—not to mention a lot of other folks- is Interested In this auestfon of beer. Back in the good old days, when baseball stars spent the off seasons tending their own bars, club owners found little trouble from the direction of the spigot. But now that we have prohibition a few Bf the bovs like to sneak an occasional stein of brew. “I wouldn't care If it was real beer.” said one of the magnates Friday. But thev sit down and guzzle a lot of stuff that kills the stomach and the spirit and ruins the hatting eve. I trv to spot the good places for the bovs and bus keep them in fair shape.” a a a A FEW of the lads do not stop at beer. What the club owners don’t like. Colonel, is the expo‘tion of the effects. For example, there isn't a single magnate who is round cheering over that story of the slugging of a couple of Chicago baseball writers by Malone. Now. Joe, you appreciate that, while all fu us would be better ctizens lor periodic overhauling* by the dentist, we do not like to be shipped to the dentist’s or the clean-er's-by a ball plaver. Anyway, I am told that the 1932 contracts of the National Leaguo may include a set of embossed resolutions daring Bn X Dlaver ,0 **?er — a *- his financial perif The two majors might get together and appoint a beer and boxing commission, to handle all the cases of the good lime Charleys Another thing that happened in baseball while you were away. Joe, was the naming of Frankie Frisch of the Cardinals and Bod p, rovo , of the Athletics as the most valuanlr players of the major leagues. A couple of committees of baseball writers did the picking long before Pepper Martin put both Frankie and Bob In the shade This Martin person, by the way. still is on a vaudeville tour in the west and will make more dough on the stage than he got all season with the Cardinals. Grove, of course, was the greatest pitcher of the year, and Gehrig was the one, player of the season in so far as I was concerned. Well, that’s that. T was going to tell roii- how Dean McCoon of Lehigh told the hoys at Brown that college spirit and all that was pure bunk. But now that you " rp back on the job you may want, to play with that idea yourself. Welcome home.

Stuart crashed the line for one and Crosscn intereepted a pass for the final marker.

Breen skirted the ends for repeated gains and also scored two touchdowns. Kirklin was a strong team .always fighting, and and opened up with open attack in the last period and triple passed successfully but lacked touchdown punch. It was the seventh straight win for Joe Dienhart’s boys this year. Cherry broke loose on a spinner nlav for the first Washington touchdown against Broad Ritrole. Burns took a lons pass and ran eightv-three vards. Carlstead took n lone pass in the end zone and Norman Long had only to run five vards with a cantured short Ripnle punt to score touchdowns in the first half of their fray at the west side field. After Rionie rallied and Murbarger climaxed a Rtnole drive down the field drive with a sweeping end run for a touchdown the west siders cut lose with a runniig atack that netted touchdowns for Warren. Howard and Kastwood, Kio Parr, former Wabash college star, directed his team to six wins and two ties this fall, the final victory comine Friday over Shortridge when a blocked punt was recovered bv his team for a touchdown, the onlv score of the same.

JACK SHARKEY REFUSES SCRAP WITH LOUGHRAN
Wants Max or Dempsey Gob’s Announcement Hints Retirement: Mitt World Surprised. By I tilled Press NEW YORK. Qct. 31.—Leave it to Jack Sharkey to do the unexpected. With promoters virtually falling over themselves to secure his services and with at least half a dozen profitable bouts in sight, the Boston sailor again has turned primadonna and announced that he will not fight any one except Jack Dempsey or world’s champion Max Schmeling. Sharkey’s announcement, regarded by boxing followers as tantamount to a retirement from the ring, ended negotiations for a New York Christmas Fund bout between Sharkey and Tommy Loughran. He previously had refused to Mickey Walker under the same auspices. The Sharkey decision was a distinct surprise in that Jack previously had announced that he intended to defend his American heavyweight championship against all comers and would force his way into a world’s title bout with Max Schmeling next summer. Sharkey’s recent decisive victory over Primo Camera had rewon him the prestige lost by his unsatisfactory draw with little Mickey Walker. The Bostonian's manager professes confidence that Sharkey will be chosen for Jack Dempsey’s initial major opponent in the former champion's comeback campaign even though Dempsey himself has indicated that he is not interested in meeting Sharkey. A Dernpsey-Sharkey match has been proposed by George Getz of Chicago and by Madison Square Garden of Illinois. Dempsey, however appears, willing to let his previous seven-round knockout triumph over Sharkey stand.

Casey Stengel, Hen Pilot, May Sign as Dodger Coach
By Times Special NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—There is better than an even chance that another one-time Dodger will return to Ebbets field in 1932, to help Max Carey in his task of rebuilding the prestige and the class of the Dodgers. Casey Stengel, once a member of the Flatbush fly chasing corps, is being considered for the post of first lieutenant to the new leader of the Dodgers. Since no better candidate looms on the horizon, it seems likely that Casey will come back to the scene of his labors of the days when Charley Ebbets was the boss. . Stengel would give to the Dodgers a lot of needed fire and enthusiasm. He is a colorful figure, a wise base-
Carter, City Gridder, Leaves Purdue Due to Injuries
Emerson (Jim) Carter, Purdue sophomore football candidate and former Washington of Indianapolis high school athletic star who was looked upon as one of the potential aces for the 1931 Purdue varsity football team, withdrew from school this week. Fans who have been watching each week for Carter’s appearance in the Boilermaker lineup and started to wonder what had happened to the former Continental star.
Lives of Ten Youths Taken by Grid Sport This Season
By United Press CHICAGO. Oct. 31.—Football in the nation’s schools has exacted a toll of at least nine lives since midSeptember, a survey by the United Press today disclosed. A tenth player was fatally injured in a game between two city teams. Two 18-year-old high school players are near death. The victims ranged in age from 8 to 28. Most of them died in hospitals from injuries incurred on college or high school gridirons, elementary school olaygrounds or sandlot and street. The survey recorded deaths of two players After college or university games, six after high school contests and one after a make-believe game in a city street. Richard Brinsley Sheridan Jr., end on the United States military academy team, died in a New Haven (Conn.) hospital from a broken neck suffered in the game with Yale last Saturday. A broken back suffered when Reuben Getschan, Elmhurst college (111.) back, plunged through the Valparaiso (Ind.) university line in an early season game caused his death on Oct. 4. Tabulation of high school football players’ fatalities follows: At Schencctadv. N. Y.. James B.

ball man, and a real leader. And, above all, Casey is a fighter. In his playing days in Brooklyn he was regarded as something of a clown, but behind that flair for antics there was a baseball noodle and the know-how to do the right thing at the right time. Stengel might have landed a major league managerial job for 1932 but for the fact that the Toledo club collapsed on him last season, and made him look bad. Those familiar with the Toledo situation do not blame Stengel for the crash, for behind the failure of the players there was a story of financial disruption. Good old Casey even went into his own pocket for SIO,OOO so that the players might get some money to live on.
Carter was injured in the freshman varsity game before the Purdue season opened and spent three weeks in the hospital. This set him back that length of time in his studies and he also missed that amount of football practice. Carter plans to re-enter'“Purdue in January. Because he had not participated in a game this fall, Carter's varsity career has yet to begin and he will be eligible for three full years, he said. .

vania also is meeting tough competition in Lafayette and the YaleDartmouth game also promises a stiff fight. In the other important eastern games, Harvard is favored over Virginia; Army outclasses Colorado; N. Y. U. and Fordham rate far above Oregon and West Liberty, respectively; Navy has an edge over West Virginia Wesleyan, and Princeton is conceded little chance against Michigan. Syracuse’s unbeaten team invades Michigan State in one of the midwest’s best contests and is a slight favorite to wni. The MinnesotaWisconsin clash heads the Big Ten program with the Gophers the likly winner. Northwestern gets a rest against a weak Illinois team; Ohio State meets Indiana; Purdue has little to fear from Chicago, and lowa probably will score its only victory of the year over George Washington. In the Missouri valley territory, Nebraska meets Missouri, lowa State plays Oklahoma, and Kansas clashes with Oklahoma A. & M. Georgia will endeavor to maintain its unbeaten pace against r lorida in the featured southern game and is a strong favorite. Tennessee is primed for a victory over Duke, Tulane is expected to encounter little trouble with Mississippi Aggies, Auburn has a setup in Spring Hill, and Alabama and Kentucky provide a tossup affair.

WALTER JOHNSON, pilot of the Washington Senaaors, has decided to unload some grief next season and will ask for more work out of his coaches and at the same time will give them more au-> thority.

BABE RUTH gave the boys a laugh out on the coast recently. Performing in a night baseball exhibition game he broke off two doubles and a circuit drive over the fence that carried 415 feet. Whereupon he remarked night ball wasn’t natural and caused him to fidget at the plate, thereby dimming his batting eye! A little practice under the lights might clear up his vision, he added. tt a a If the tour of the Orient now being made by Lefty Grove. Mickey Cochrane and other big leaguers is a success it is rumored Chrvstv Warlsh. Babe Ruth’s business manager, will pilot the Bambino and a team over there next October and give the Japanese a chance to see the mighty monarch of swat give the horse“'K > ride. It’s a good guess Babe would draw tremendous crowds because the many Jap players who have traveled America have taken home exciting tales of Ruth’s home run fame. ana Lee Danev. the real redskin pitcher who was a shining light with Indianapolis during 1931 spring training and for the early nart of the regular campaign, onlv to lose his cunning later, fell bv the v/ayside in the Three-I League this vear.
