Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, Nov. 10.—Tim Mara who runs New York’s professional football team called. “Come on up to Sing Sing with me and watch the Jail birds play football. You’ll get some laughs.’’ It' a beautiful ride at this time of the year... up Riverside drive.. .along the vleamln* Hudson.. .through rolling Westchester ablaze with a riotous pigmentation. After an hour or so your car rolls into the sonorous little town of Ossining and from the top of a steep, slanting street vou get your first glimpse of the oid prison with Its sprawling brick barricades and gray, frowning cel! blocks. “I haven't seen these guvs play myself." said Mara "but mv men sav they're hot stuff"... Some of Mara’s men were on the recreation field when we arrived, including the celebrated Red Cagle who had soared to all-America fame as a Soldier half back at West Point. Just a few miles uo the river. Cagle and the rest of Mara's men were putting the two Bing Sing teams through their naces. showing them how to block and tackle, pass and kick. One of the teams was made up of whites, the other of blacks. After a spell the two teams lined up to scrimmage. The blacks kicked off to the whites. V A tall rangy fellow called Mac'* caught the ball and started awkwardly un the lleld. He hadn't gone more than fifteen yards when he was clipped and burled under a terrific downpour of blacks. The operation on both sides had been marked by great ardor and Intensity. "What did I tell vou” nudged Mara... Well, to tell the truth I had come up for laughs but there was something about the youthfulness and cleanliness of these men that was Incredible. This couldn't be Sing Sing, the notorious American prison! These couldn’t be criminals! One of the linesmen on the whites #as a bovish looking youngster, not more than 22. A visitor hau called to see him and he hadn't had time to change to one of the football uniforms donated to the welfare department bv Mara. The gray cap. snotless white shirt and neatly pressed gray trousers emphasized his youthfulness. "That kid out there—you don't mean to sav he's a criminal, too. do you?” I asked. "Doing a ten-year bit. Got three to go." drawled a guard. tt u u STANDING around, looking and listening, you learn that the team is made up of all types of law breakers, from first-termers held for minor infractions to killers, who somehow managed to miss the chair and gain instead an aimless life between leering walls. "That's what’s wrong with .the system," observed the same guard dryly. "Tossing these kids in there with them tough guvs. If they ain’t real criminals when they pet here, they ain't far from it when they leave.” I was disposed to agree that such a system was inhuman, idiotic and outrageous. and I began to pen a mental letter of protest to mv congressman when a shrill cry of glee swept over the prison gridiron. , . "Look at Alabam’ go!” shouted the undergraduates on the side lines. Alabam' happens to be the captain ana ouarter back of the whites. He had just duped the opposition bv calling for a for-ward-lateral, taking the ball himself and galloping sixty yards for a touchdown. "Runs like he’s trying to get away from a dick.” laughed one of the inmates. "Keen it up Alabam’ ” chirped another "and the Pee-Kay will put vou on his all-America.” , . . . The Pee-Kav is prison argot for prison keeper, in this instance a large, portly, klndlv looking gentleman whose duties, among other things, consist of leading condemned men to the execution chamber. He's been around for twenty years. The good naturedness of the men and the genuine fun they got out of playing football and watching it played somehow seemed to soften the picture. At any rate these men hadn't forgot how to laugh.

BUTLER POLISHES DEFENSE FOR MARQUETTE TILT

Sisk Leads Avalanche Bulldogs Prepare to Stop Hilltoppers’ Ace Half Back. Butler’s football squad Is on its toes this week, getting set to withstand the rush of Marquette’s Golden Avalanche when the Milwaukee eleven tangles with Harry Bell’s Bulldogs at the Bowl Saturday. Butler will make its final home stand of the season when it battles

the strong Hilltoppers, who handed the Blue pastimers a 25 to 0 setback at Milwaukee last year. One of the chief worries for the Bulldogs this week will be the perfection o. r a defense to stop Johnny Sisk, Marquette’s great half back who re-

ltr . ~~ ' 'f

ceived all-America honorable mention in his sophomore year in 1930. Sisk, called “big train” by his teammates, is a powerful plunger and sensational open field ball carrier.

Coach Bell’s Bulldogs have benefited by a long rest and will be at physical tops for the Marquette struggle. With an open date last Saturday, Bell did not let up in work, but drove his pastimers on new formations, plays and defense for the game with the Hilltoppers. Some changes may be made in the Blue lineup, it was said. Another lengthy drill was carded for today.

—Stove League ChatterBY EDDIE ASH ““

OWING to the fact that there are gaps to be filled on several big league clubs for 1932, it’s almost a sure shot that more star minor leaguers w'ill be taken up before the off-season ends. Big and minor league meetings will be held next month and interesting deals are expected to pop along the baseball front. Indianapolis will be paid a visit by many delegates to the winter pow-wow at West Baden and among the major prominents scheduled to stop off here to view Norman Perry’s new stadium will be Jake Ruppert, president of the New York Yankees. Several minor club owners who plan to build new plants also will inspect the modern Hoosier park in search of ideas for their own cities. ana The Indianapolis club is dickering with the Yankee bosses for an exhibition here in the spring between Joe McCarthy’s team and the Tribe and it’s a cinch that when Babe

Hayes believes the forward pass attack will be the most effective weapon the Hoosiers can use against Northwestern. Battered by Saturday’s drubbing at Michigan, the Hoosier warriors were given a rest Monday. Fitz Lyons, star Negro sophomore end, who has been out for two weeks, will be back in action against the Wildcats, and is expected to bolster the I. U. defense.

Boilermakers Polish Offense for Hawkeyes

By Time Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 10.—Elated over the great showing against Centenary, but admittedly worried by the defensive power shown by lowa last Saturday against Nebraska, Purdue’s Boilermakers today opened preparations for Saturday’s home-coming battle with lowa here.

Noble Kizer, Purdue’s head mentor, predicted trouble for the Boilermakers’ fleet backs in getting past the line of scrimmage against the Hawkeyes. Varsity pastimers who participated/ in the rout of Centenary last Saturday were given a holiday Monday. They returned to hard work today, however, and Kizer planned to polish his offense. lowa holds a six to three advantage in their series with the Eoilermakers, but Purdue won the last two scraps, 7-0 in 1929 and 20-0 last year. Meanwhile, plans for the homecoming celebration are being made and include an alumni banquet, a freshman football game and other events.

Greyhounds to ’ End Campaign Indiana Central football pastimers will hang up their moleskins after Saturday’s battle with the Earlham Quakers at Richmond. Coach Harry Good will have full strength for the first time in many weeks for the final struggle. Red Myers and Bo) Mauer, star half backs who missed last week’s game at Hanover, are ready for action. A scrimmage was carded for today after Monday’s light drill. STUMPH SHEET WINNER Shattering 48 out of 50 targets, C. Stumph won single honors at Indianapolis Skeet Club Monday. M. Reddick broke sixteen to win 'the twenty-five-target honors.

All games will be played on Saturday, Nov. 28, unless the lowaChicago game is shifted to Thanksgiving day. Football coaches are said to be opposed to allowing the charity games to count in the final Big Ten standing. If Northwestern wins from Indiana and lowa, the Wildcats will be the only Big Ten team to finish the season undefeated and probably will be awarded the title.

Ruth is told that the right field wall is still in the maiden home run class, he’ll tighten his belt and start swinging for distance. The Tribesmen knocked off the Yanks in a ten-inning struggle in St. Petersburg last March. man DURING the long Pacific Coast League season of 1931, only three drived cleared the right field wall of the new and spacious park in San Francisco. The Bambino showed up out there recently for an exhibition performance and hit seven over the barrier in batting practice. Moreover, it is said one Ruthian swat came within a few feet of sailing over the center field fence. nan Dazzy Vance has left for his hunting and "fishing lodge in the Florida wildwood to amuse himself over winter. The once great Dazzler told Brooklyn friends he felt a hunch coming on that he would be traded to the Chicago Cubs before the spring training call sounds again. n n n IT is said the plan is still on the books of the New York Giants’ board of strategy to make a second sacker out of Freddy Lindstrom. The Chicago Swede was moved to the outfield last year after holding down third base as a regular under McGraw for several seasons. It seems that McGraw is banking on Len Koenecke of Indianapolis to fill Lindstrom’s outfield shoes. Freddy is a good sticker and too valuable for bench duty. Hughie Curtis of the lame arm may not report to McGraw in the spring. The little and flashy keystone guardian was discouraged the past season as his salary whip kept giving him trouble. He may be through. n n n McGraw has other second sack candidates in Eddie Marshall, Bill Hunnefield and Eddie Moore, drafted from Oakland, but none is rated a hitter of the Lindstrom power. Moore went big in the Coast League, however, and may come through as the surprise boy of the Giants’ innerworks. Marshall and Hunnefield seem to be tagged as excess talent. TONY CUCCINELLO, New York born and reared, would be happy if the Cincy Reds would sell him to the Giants and John McGraw doubtless would stand on his head to put through a deal for the Italian star, who is of big league caliber at both second and third. Moreover, Cuccinello is a hard smacker of the sphere and a run maker. Reports have been heard in the past of offers made for Tony by Giants and Braves. CHESTERS FACE VALPO By Times Special NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind., Nov. 10.—Encouraged by their triumph over Crane Tech last week, Manchester college warriors today opened preparations for Saturday’s struggle wtih the powerful and unbeaten Valparaiso eleven. It will be the final game of the season for the Chester, and Coach Burt plans to shoot the works against the mighty Hoosier rivals. Chapman and Piper will lead the Manchester victory hopes. CHRIS FULMER PASSES By United Press TAMAQUA, Pa., Nov. 10.—Chris Fulmer, 73, professional baseball star of years ago, died at his home here. Fulmer played with Baltimore, Washington and Chicago teams of the 1880 period as a catcher and was among \fhe veterans credited with introducing the use of a catcher’s glove.

Sammy Mandell Hangs Up Gloves After Great Career

By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 10. Sammy Mandell, who began boxing as a lad of 17 in the flyweight class and reached his peak as champion of the flyweights, has retired from the ring. His attempt to become a noted welterweight has failed, and the Rockford (111.) battler will now become a manager of other fighters. Mandell’s last fight was against Ralph Lenny last Wednesday. The referee declared it no contest. The Illinois athletic commission, however, paid Mandell the $1,250 it had ordered held up after the bout. Mandell won the lightweight title in Chicago on July 3, 1926, from Rocky Kansas. He defended it successfully against Phil McGraw, Jimmy McLarnin and Tony Canzoneri and then was defeated by A1 Singer on July 17, 1930 in the first round of their fight at Yankee Stadium, New York. Mandell was recognized as one of the master boxers of all time. His comeback attempt has been a miserable failure and his many friends

That’s what Dick Hanley of Northwestern is trying to figure. Reb Russell, 1930 all-America line smasher, was injured in the first game this season. He’s been ready to go in the last two encounters, but with Ollie Olson, blonde sophomore, punting, passing and running all over the gridiron, there’s no room for Reb at full back. But Hanley’s not going to let him waste on the bench, so Reb probably will turn up at half or quarter back against Indiana at Evanston Saturday. Dick Fencl and George Evans, husky end and guard respectively, are on the Purple injured list, but will be ready for the Crimson Saturday.
