INDIANS LAND FIVE STAR PLAYERS IN LEN KOENECKE DEAL 1

Heving, Berly, Cooney and Rosenberg Named One More Outfielder Will Be Obtained From Giants in Spring; Tremendous Boost Given Tribe Pennant Chances; Wingard Purchase Also Confirmed. BY EDDIE ASH -r,,,,. . . , „ Time* Snort* Editor Baseball pennant talk in Indianapolis will begin in the midst of the football season as a result of a big and important player deal announced by Tribe officials today. In other words Owner Norman Perry and Jack Hendricks, assistant and adviser, closed the Len Koenecke sale with the New York Giants by landing three pitchers, an outfielder and another star fly chaser to be named next spring before the season opens. John Berly and Joe Heving, righthanded pitchers, and Harry Rosenberg, outfielder, are coming direct from the Giants, and Johnny Cooney, of Toledo, southpaw hurler and all-around pastimer, w r ill come to the Indians in the same transaction. Indianapolis purchased Cooney from the Hens and New York paid for him as part of the Koenecke deal.

New Central Backs Tried Only two games, both on foreign fields, remain on the Indiana Central grid schedule. Hanover will furnish the opposition Friday night ■when the Greyhounds go on the road. The season will end on Nov. 14 at Richmond, when the locals play Earlham. Coach Good has devoted much of his time in practice this week to the back field. Some new ball carriers will see action Friday night because of the injuries that dealt a severe blow to the Greyhound camp. Mouer and Myers, half backs are on the hospital list and Del Moore, full back, is ineligibe this week due to scholastic difficulties. Two City Cue Stars in Lead Two local cue stars were setting the pace in the southern sectional three-cushion billiard play today.

Tribe officials also verified the purchase from Toledo of Ernie Wingard, left-handed hurler and first sacker. Wingard and Cooney were outstanding players with Toledo this year both on the mound and in other positions. Wingard is highly regarded as a slugger and Cooney also bears a fine reputation as a pinch hitter. Become Tribe Property The Koenecke deal proper, therefore, will bring five athletes to Indianapolis and all will become Tribe property. The Wingard deal, of course, is a separate transaction that was held up previously owing to conflict at the time with American Association player transfer rules. It will be recalled that Koenecke, the slugging Indian, was sold to the Giants for $75,000 in players, no cash exchanging hands, and President Perry and Hendricks are well satisfied with the value of the athletes consigned here by John McGraw. The outfielder who will be delivered next spring will be a fly chaser of known skill, the Tribe bosses said today. Ace in International Johnny Berly was an ace flinger with the champion Rochester Internations in 1930, winning sixteen games and losing eight, and this year with New York he won seven games and lost eight. He had the lowest earned run average in the International loop in 1930, his mark ng 2.49 per nine-inning game. He is 28, stands 5:11 and weighs 185. Joe Heving, 27, is a brother of John Heving, catcher with the Philadelphia Athletics. He stands 6:00', 2 and weighs about 175. He won seven games and lost five with the Giants in 1930 and was used principally as a finisher this year. Heving w'ent to the Giants from Memphis, where he w'on fourteen games and lost ten in 1929. Rosie Gives Promise Harry Rosenberg was with Indianapolis on option during the closing days of the 1930 season and performed in efficient style. He is a speed boy and has the actions of a future great. The Giants bought this youngster from the Coast League for $40,000 in 1930. He batted .327 for Indianapolis. Johnny Cooney won ten games and lost seven with Toledo this season and appeared in many games in the outfield and at first base owing to his fielding ability and bat power. He was a troublesome customer for the Indians all year, and doubtless will prove to be a valuable man when the Tribe steps out after the flag during the next campaign. Cooney and Wingard posted records rated as high class for 1930 when it is remembered Toledo had a tailend club. Cooney batted .290 and Wingard whaled the sphere for .305, collecting 28 doubles, 13 triples and 18 homers. The Koenecke deal is one of the biggest closed by an A. A. club in years, and it is in line with owner Perry's plans to capture the title flag for the new Perry stadium in 1932.

who was appointed by Owen D. Young to direct the football charity project announced today that 128 schools already , have agreed to play charity games, and that “literally hundreds of other colleges and schools through the country will have their part in this project.” A total of 53 teams already have arranged special charity games, Hall revealed, and 57 are attempting to arrange contests. Seven other scholos will donate net proceeds of single regularly scheduled games and eleven schools will donate a percentage of receipts at single games.

Undefeated Penn Eleven Threatens Irish Record

By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. s.—Two major unbeaten collegiate football machines will tangle here Saturday in a feature intersectional battle when Hunk Anderson’s fast-flying Notre Dame warriors take on Pennsylvania. The Irish will be seeking their twenty-fourth triumph in twentyfive starts.

City Title Rivals Set Manual and Cathedral orl Edge for Tussle Friday. Indianapolis’ 1931 high school football champion will be crowned at Delavan Smith field Friday at 2 p. m., when Manual's unbeaten huskies battle Cathedral, also undefeated and untied. The veteran Red pastimers already have annexed the city public high schools’ cup, for which Cathedral does not compete. The Irish thumped Shortridge, only public school eleven which did r.ot play the south siders. Victor in Friday’s encounter will receive undisputed city title recognition. On comparative scores, the rivals stack up about even. Manual surprised local grid followers this season and Coach Harry Painter turned out an aggregation of veterans that boasts both speed and power. The southsiders will hold a slight weight edge in the line. Led by the brilliant John Ford, one of the best prep quarter backs in Indiana. Joe Dienhart's Irish pastimers have turned in an. enviable record and probably will enter the game a slight favorite. Russ Sweeney, stellar Cathedral end. probably will miss the title battle. He aggravated an old leg injury in Wednesday's scrimmage with the reserves and his place Friday probably will be taken by Boyle.

tro, who had successfully weathered Battalino’s butting, cuffing, shoving and other similar rough tactics, was ahead on points. Battalino, however, rallied strongly in the last two rounds, won them both and successfully defended his title for the fifth time in two years. Sammy Mandell, Rockford, 111., former lightweight champion, and Ralph Lenny, Jersey City, had their scheduled ten-round semi-final stopped at the end of the eighth round and called “no contest.” Mandell, who weighed 143 Vi pounds, put up a pitiful exhibition. Lenny weighed 136%. Louis (Kid) Kaplan, 137, of Hartford, Conn., former featherweight champion, won an eight-round decision from Harry Dublinsky, 138, Chicago.
