Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Nov. 3. —I suppose reading all those stories about Dempsey and Leonard trying to come back had something to do with It. I mean about my going up to Bill Brown's farm on the Hudson and doing two weeks of training. I must have said to myself, “Well, if those guys can come back so can I." I didn’t realize how far I had slipped until I picked the Cards to win the world series. When thev won I knew something was desperately wrong. In the old days. I used to be able to pick ’em wrong without the slightest effort. But that was when I was young and In good condition. * ready to go the route, and barring no challengers. Bill Brown’s farm sits on top of a knoll In the lower Catskills directly across the river from West Point, where your Uncle Bam turns out all-America soldiers and half backs. BUI Brown Is a tall, white-haired, ruddy faced Irishman with a lively sense of humor and a fine understanding of mankind. He has devoted the last twenty-five years of his life to re-conditionlng the American professional man. most of them verging on that stubby plateau of existence known as middle age. There Is something about the character of Bill Brown that transforms casual contacts Into friendships. Some very Important Americans come great distances to break bread with him up there In the monastic forest where bright-hued p'heasants wheel through the air and leggy looking deer scramble through the woods. I suppose that only the veteran sports follower remembers the Bill Brown of Broadway—the man who originated the “both members of this club” era In prize fighting. His club In Twenty-Third street near Sixth avenue was the cradle from which many a glamorous fighting career grew to maturity. Freddie Welsh for one. Freddie started there as a three dollar fighter. Bill Brown gave him the name of Welsh. It sounded more like a fighting name than Freddie s real name. Freddie later became the world lightweight champion, taking the title from While Bitchle In a London ring after twenty THE complete story of Bill Brown’s Twenty-third street club would make exciting reading. Bill Brown ran it in precisely the same way he runs his farm. He was the proprietor, the promoter and the referee. In short, the works. In those days the fighters had to nght or they were chased from the P Cmce Se in a while Proprietor-Promoter-R °cree Brown would fall to get the gladiators to gladlate with as violence as he deemed “sential to the enjoyment of his patrons. In such clrcum stances he would stop the show and with a studied Tenth avenue elegance an nounce: ”1 am going to throw these t bums out of my Joint and anybody what wants his dough back can get It at the b °Thcre was always a d ®J*fJl tf “ l tr l e S[ o "”ub" Pcte k rsonf <ff the 1906 period.

PURDUE LOSES TWO VET GRID STARS FOR SEASON
Centenary Next Rival Jack White, Brilliant Quarter, Paul Calvert, End, Are Out. By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 3.—Handicapped by the less of two veteran stars, Purdue moleskin warriors today started preparation for Saturday’s battle with Centenary. Jack White, the brilliant quarter back who, as a sophomore, directed the Boilermakers to their first Big Ten grid crown in 1929, will be out the rest of the season, due to a Charley horse received in the Illinois game three weeks ago, and which has failed to respond to treatment. White has been an important factor in Purdue’s great record during the past two seasons and his consistently good generalship, superb blocking and accurate passing will be missed. Paul Pardonner, speedy sophomore, will take over White’s place. Paul Calvert, senior wingman from Terre Haute, also will be lost to Purdue for the rest of the season, team physicians announced Monday. Calvert dislocated his elbow in the Chicago contest and will not be ready for the Centenary, lowa or Indiana games. Coach Noble Kizer today starts work of polishing the Boilermaker offensive machine which showed a lack of punch at Chicago. CHICAGO HOPES HIGH CHICAGO, Nov. 3. —Chicago’s best chance for a victory in its three remaining games this season is expected to be presented the Maroons Saturday when Arkansas invades the Midway. Pete Zimmer, sophomore full back, will be back in the game after a two weweks’ layoff.
Northwestern May Get Bid to Bose Game; Big Ten Disapproves
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov., 3.—Northwestern’s powerful football team, overwhelming favorite to win the Big Ten football championship, probably will be invited to play the annual Tournament of Roses game at Pasadena, Cal., New Year’s day, but the faculty representatives of the Western Conference are not expected to give the Wildcats permission to accept the invitation. The winner of Saturday’s game between Southern California and
—Stove League Chatter — BY EDDIE ASH
THE lull in baseball activities during the football season has not interfered with the work of putting the finishing touches to Perry stadium, the new home of the Indians, and Tribe followers are going to gasp with pleasant astonishment when they drive by the park and take a look. The eye-filling entrance is still under construction, but enough has been completed to give an idea of the future beauty of the structure when the contractors eventually call off their men. Modernistic sketches in stone adorn the outside high, white pillars with a touch of coat of arms artistry showing Indian head crossed bats, glove and bail. Other modernistic features eleswhere include batter and catcher carved out in shoeless and gloveless effect Fact of the matter. Norman Perry, Tribe owner seems to have surpassed the big universities in the matter of Introducing hotsie totsie items of construction Wide cement walks now lead from Sixteenth street along the west side of the stadium to the entrance proper and also from Harding street along the south side of the stadium to the several box offices. From Harding street to the entrance, at least a block, a blanked terrace has been formed and fresh, green sod placed. Adjacent to the other promenade grass also will be grown to tidy up the cement lane. All buildings outside the park have been razed and holes filled. Cinders and gravel will be used to slick uo the land for parking space. The parking space adjoining the stadium on the west is now ready for •'parking'’ treatment and it looks immense. Lumber on parking land south of the park will be removed later, after which cinders and gravel will be spread there. FACT of the matter, there has been so much progress out there since the league season ended that it’s a good guess that when spring arrives the fans who attended the late season 1931 games won’t know the place. Left field territory is being built up to overcome a sinking of new earth and it will be watched over winter and doctored more if necessary. Just a minor fault that all new parks face. Light towers for night baseball are now set up and will be put to the voltage test shortly. Uprights have been cleaned and | painted Norman Perry expressed the opinion today that Indianapolis will have the best nocturnal system in the country next year. Three towers are atop the grandstand with no uprights obstructing the view of grandstaijjl enstomers. Thp other towers also are placed in spots to relieve the fans of any obstruction or glare. It is Perry’s plan to give Indianapolis three .light games a week next year, all free to woaien, and also free to children after school days are over for the summer. To ease the comfort for afternoon game fans he has rigged up bars, hooks and pulleys above the wall of the grandstand top runway to take care of an awning that will blight out all sun rays without cutting off ventilation. This scheme also will make a hit with the right field and center field fly chasers by reducing the sun glare in their territory. At night games, of course, the awnings will be lifted. The color scheme for the awnings, by the way, will be the same as
the line on Loughran and Ernie Schaaf. Gene Tunney doesn’t want to fight any one—and they all want to fight him. Tommy Loughran is willing to battle any of the top notchers—and none of them will accept the challenge. Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's manager, says he has contracted for a championship bout between the German and Dempsey at New York or Chicago in June or September. Dempsey denies any such agreement. Jack Kearns, Walker’s manager, says a Scjpneling-Mickey Walker bout has been arranged at Los An-
Big—Tough! That’s Ookie
TTE’S big and tough, this Ookie Miller boy from Purdue, who is captain of the 1931 Boilermaker machine. Miller has been playing bang-up ball at center this season and has stood out in every game. Already he is being boosted for honor teams. His defensive work in backing up the line has been of the highest caliber and he’s one of the most dependable snappers in the game. Miller will be in action Saturday at Lafayette against Centenary.
Stanford at Los Angeles probably will represent the far west in the Tournament of Roses game. Northwestern athletic officials are understood to favor accepting the invitation by Athletic Director K. L. (Tug) Wilson’s statement today regarding the game. “We haven’t been invited and what little chance we have of accepting will be ruined if the matter is given any publicity.” The Big Ten, has a rule against post-season games, but last month voted to suspend the rule to allow
for box and reserved seats, orange and green. THERE has been anew surface placed on Speedway avenue, leading to Perry stadium from the Fall creek bridge, left, which is another improvement. Go out and try it. You’ll be pleased. Holes have been erased and the wrinkles ironed out. It’s going to be an easy drive to Perry stadium next year with a choice of select routes. More voltage! Owner Perry today advised the engineers handling the night lighting system to hang out more lamps on the towers and to increase the “juice” fifty per cent. “Now that I’m in it,” Perry said, “I want to equal daylight at night for the players and fans.” The Tribe president and Jack Hendricks already are giving thought to soring training and Hendricks will be ready within a few weeks to tell of the pUns and dates for exhibition games. He is planning many surprises for.the fans here after the Tribe returns from the south, but at the same time he is not overlooking the schedule In Florida. He said: “Sarasota is a good spot down there for choice opposition and the fact we have anew, modern park here will give us a chance to book the big leaguers to show at Perry stadium. All local exhibition games will be with major clubs to give the fans an opportunity to see pastimers in action whom they miss during the summer” A LAUGH was supplied stadium visitors Monday when a lot of conversation with heads together took place with owner Perry and contractors holding conference. “What’s all the shooting about?” wag asked. “We’re out of bricks,” was the reply. It was comical at that, a big job and no bricks. A carload was ordered. The incident was funny like an amateur ball game when the only ball is lost in the weeds. Baseball followers are smiling over a cross-eyed speech made by a newspaper man at the recent testimonial dinner §lven catcher Jimmy Wilson of the Carinals in Philadelphia recently. iWlson is a Philly home boy and the banquet guests started shouting for him to become manager of the Philly Nationals. As the evening grew old a scribe decided to make an oration and in the course of his talk he said: “Our boy Jimmy, our neighbor. There he sits, the greatest catcher in the American League, Jimmy Smith.” Answer lo Fan, City—World series game are played under same rules as regular season contests. If rain ends play after five innings team in lead wins. Answer to Subscriber. City—Second, third and fourth place clubs in American League drew same amount of world series melon this year as second, third and fourth teams in National. There is no difference in percentage of money except between the title contenders, which is split sixty-forty. However, second place winners in each league draw more than third finishers and thirds draw more than fourths. In other words, team finishing second in American this year drew same sum of series coin as National League runner-up. N. Y. U. FACES GEORGIA By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 3. —Their overconfidence shattered by Saturday’s setback from Oregon, the New York university Violets are working in earnest for Saturday’s test with Georgia.

Joe Jacobs says Schmeling never will fight for Jimmy Johnston, boxing director at Madison Square Garden. Johnston says Schmeling is under contract to the Garden and will not be allowed to fight for any one else. And there you have the “low down” on the heavyweight boxing situation.

Since that time requests have poured into the conference for a variety of charity games. lowa petitioned the conference for permission to meet lowa State, a member of the Big Six, and was turned down. Other games suggested were Wis-consin-Marquette, Michigan-Detroit, Ilinois-Missouri, and a replay of the Northwestern-Notre Dame scoreless tie. The members of the conference will hold a meeting some time this month, probably the week of Nov. 16, to draw up the schedule for the Nov. 28 charity games. The original schedule a,s suggested when the post-season rule was temporarily suspended follows. Northwestern vs. Michigan. Chicago vs. lowa. Ohio State vs. Purdue. Wisconsin vs. Indiana. Illinois vs. Minnesota. The unexpected turn of affairs, in which Michigan and Purdue were beaten, however, may cause the schedule to be rearranged. The Northwestern-Michigan game is going to be difficult to arrange because both schools want their game at home. Northwestern plans to play Its game in Soldier field with its 120,000 seating capacity, and Michigan is known to be bitterly opposed to playing in the lake front stadium.
