Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK. Nov. 3.—For the first time in a number of years, the Brooklyn ball club, I hear, failed to make dough last season. I suppose the unhappy times had something to do with it, but it is interesting to note the deficits piled up the very year the club management decided to go normal, to run things in a sane, business-like way. Wilbert Robinson was too easygoing with his men, and they reflected this laxity in their work. There wasn't a great deal of discipline, and for the most part the athletes did as they pleased. Some of the things they did on the field and off were highly hilarious. Even Robinson laughed. The baseball writers referred to them as the Funnymen of FJatbush. They seemed as interested in getting their laughs as they did their base hits. But somehow or other, they managed to win a lot of ball games, and they managed to build up an affectionate following. There was always a surplus in the box office. Then anew deal was ordered. Robinson was kicked out, and a young man who studied for the divinity was named to succeed hint. m m a ALONG with the Falstafflan Robinson went others who had been conspicuously identified with the rollicking regime, including Babe Herman, a genius peculiarly suitable in mood and temperament to the Brooklyn environs. Herman was at once the spirit and the soul of the borough’s worshipful baseball family. Just as there is only one Flatbush, so it is that there is only one Babe “Hoiman.” Sending him away, then, was a cruel, inhuman act. There can be no doubt but that Herman was painfully missed in Flatbush last season. Even the management seemed to realize as much as the season wore on. At any rate, some of the athletes began to perform strange capers at their posts of duty. m a tt one of them stole second V-/ with the bases full. This was obviously a sop to the Herman sentimentalists. I am happy to report this brazen piece of capitalistic deceit not only died a-borning, but was nipped in the bud. Moreover, it was laughed to scorn. Call it a coincidence, charge it to the panic or what-have-you, but the fact remains they always had prosperity at Ebbets field in the days when Robinson was mismanaging the club and Herman was stopping triples with his head. It wasn’t until the efficiency experts arrived that the red ink began to flow. Maybe reforms, like election pledges, should be taken in moderation, If all.

Sports of Long Ago

BY EARL M’KEE. MORE than a third of a century ago—to be more exact, on Sunday, May 22, 1898—the entire Indianapolis baseball team was arrested and carted off to jail. As fellow prisoners on the trip to the bastile went the Kansas City club. The teams were pinched by a big squad of John Laws for playing ball on Sunday, contrary to the statutes of the state of Indiana. The scene was the old Western League ball park at Oriental and Ohio streets, and between five and six thousand fans watched the pro-! ceedings. The game had not been publicly advertised, but word was .spread that there would be a “sacred concert" by the When band at the ball park, and under cover of this event a regular ball game would be played. .The game was in the last half of the third inning, with the score tied, when a boy perched in the top row of the bleachers, with a view of the surrounding streets, yelled. “Here comes de bulls!” And sure enough there soon appeared at the home plata Captain Kruger, Sergeant CtWtgan, bike cops Holt and Wallace, and detectives Asch, Dugan, Morgan and Gerber. Kruger stepped on the home plate, held up his hand and the game was over amid a chorus of what went for boos in the gay nineties. The band played ‘The Dead March,” while the players retired to the dressing rooms. , While waiting for the return of the ball tossers the band played “Why Are You Sad, Mama. My Darling?" a current hit of the day. Patrol wagons were inadequate to haul the athletes to jail, and the street cars were requisitioned. The fans had been provided with rain checks, evidently with the idea that “something” might happen. Next day in court, Judge Cox, to assist the club in making a test case, fined but one player, George Hogrlever, who was assessed $1 and costs. An appeal was taken, of course, but nothing came of it later. CHESTERS IN ACTION Bp Times Special ■NORTH MANCHESTER. Ind., Npv. 3.—Victorious in four straight starts, Manchester college eleven will seek its first win in history over an Indiana State Teachers team at Tarre Haute Saturday. ; lOWA GIVEN SHAKE-UP tIOWA CITY, la., Nov. 3.—Only one lowa lineman who started against George Washington last week has retained his place on the Hawkeyes after a shakeup by Coach Ossie Solem.

STARS OF TURF TO BATTLE FOR TWO RICH PRIZES

Eight Race at Latonia Gusto Tops Field; Juvenile Title May Hinge on Pimlico Event. By Times Special LATONIA, Ky„ Nov. 3. Fourteenth renewal of the Latonia championship stakes, to be decided at Latonia Saturday over a mile : and three-quarter route, brings into I competition outstanding 3-year-olds I of the 1932 campaign in one of the most valuable and important turf fixtures. Eight survivors of the disastrous 1932 3-year-old racing season are ! expected to battle for the large Latonia purse of approximately $41,- ; 055. Gusto is Favorite With a long list of victories to his credit, Gusto, M. L. Schwartzs’ leading money-winner, is xanked as -favorite to gallop off with the honors. Gallant Sir, Norman W. Church’s remarkable son of Sir Gallahad 111, who defeated Equipoise recently, also Is a strong contender in the big autumn feature. Mad Frump, who outclassed Twenty Grand, the 3-year-old champion of 1931, two weeks ago, will carry the C. V. Whitney colors. Other threats include W. R. Coe’s Osculator and J. Fred Adams’ Rehoboth. Big Beau is Threat H. P. Headley’s Big Beau, a western entry, also is receiving a heavy backing. Should Gusto finish in front, he probably will be hailed as champion 3-year-old of the year.

Coe’s Ladysman, leading money winner with earnings of $113,000, will not be in the lineup. A leg injury has forced Ladysman into retirement for the winter. Saturday’s classic also may help decide the winter book favorite in the 1933 renewal of the Kentucky Derby at Louisville.

Cruising in Sportland—with Eddie Ash

OWNERS of American Association clubs are working on a plan to help the league race in the closing weeks of the season and to offset the practice of teams out of the pennant running “giving up" and turning their iineups into a rookie school. Another objective is to keep veteran players hustling on the clubs that have been eliminated from the flag chase. A first division “pool” is the making that will reward the first four teams on the basis of 10, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. The suggestion under discussion calls for building up a “pool” by taking 1 cent on every admission in the eight cities during the regular season and then fattening the total with the A. A. team's division of the little world series money. tt it n The main idea of the "pool'’ is to stimulate late season interest all along the line and to make it tougher for the team on top to protect its lead right up to the closing day. Heretofore there has been too much early ‘folding" and horae play on the part of clubs several games removed from first place in the closing weeks. There has been no reward for "position’’ and if a team couldn't land on top it was fn the same boat with second division finishers Insofar as financial returns were concerned. Fans throughout the league will be pleased with the "pool" proposition. tt tt tt HPHE A. A. magnates aiso have X another suggestion to offer regarding umpires. They think the “guessers” are human after all and would be interested in a plan “to improve their breed.” Anyway, it has been suggested that at the end of the season the club bosses and newspapermen get together and vote on “umpire ratings,” listing the game officials in the ordpr one to eight, on the basis of all-season efficiency, including success in speeding up games, appearance and anything connected with an umpire’s duties. The reward here would be the accelerated opportunity for promotion to the major leagues. a tt tt t.'mpire* are ‘’the law’’ in Mexico, where baseball is new compared with the game in America, but where they take their guessers as "dignitaries." At any rate, in Old Mex, the umpires are permitted to carry a ‘‘gat’’ on the field and wear a government badge. When a player becomes hard-boiled and disorderly the umpire points to his star, hauls out his cannon and has the offending athlete tossed into the jail house to cool off and perhaps be fined in civil court the next morning. tt tt tt THIS Harry’ Kipke, coach of the Wolverines, has quite a record as player and coach. His team was undefeated ip 1939 and tied for the Big Ten title; lost only one game last year and again tied for the crown, in a three T way finish, and this fall the Kipke machine has rolled along with no defeats or ties. The powerful outfit will tackle the Indiana warriors in Bloomington Saturday and the tilt daily is assuming more prominence over the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

punting has gained many yards for the Redskins. At end he shines on defense and pass snatching, when shifted to half back, he is dangerous, both at ball toting and pass tossing. Welton, in addition to fine direction of the team, is the chief ground gainer and one of the city's best broken field runners. Glover also stars at passing and ball-toting, while Frank Wahl, the little center, is the hero of a strong line, . Action starts Friday at 2 p. m.

country. Indiana has concentrated on this battle and Michigan was given a scare last week by Princeton. According to reports it was some scare, nonpartisan observers declaring the , Wolverines were lucky to win. a tt tt Coach Kipke was rated about the best punter in the nation during his playing days with the Maize and Blue of Ann Arbor. He possessed power and accuracy and made life miserable for opposing safety men. It is said that in one fracas, against Ohio State in 1922, Kipke punted eleven times for an average of fortyeight yards and not one kick was returned. all rolling out of bounds. tt tt tt THE second Michigan touchdown against Princeton was on a play that fooled the Tigers and was well-executed. Final score was 14 to 7. On this play Newman, Michigan quarter, dropped back to pass and two Wolverine warriors served as decoys to outsmart Princeton backs. The two Michigan ends. Williamson and Ward, headed for the Tiger safety man stationed in the end zone. Williamson went straight ahead and Ward cut in from the left. Williamson got the attention of the safety man and then Ward, the tall Negro wingman, slipped around behind the two, ran toward the sideline and received the pass from Newman with nobody near him. tt tt tt Not all injuries in football are received in the course of the struggles on the turf.

Regis Monahan, tackle with the Ohio State Big Ten eleven, was getting ready for the Wisconsin battle last Saturday and was the victim of an accident in the locker room.
