By Eddie Ash Pro Football Put to Real Test Here m m m Chance for league Berth Offered City

QRGANIZATION of a professional football team along league lines to represent Jndianajxjlis this fall is the first step toward gaining a franchise in the National loop the next year or so if the lloosier capital supports the semi-league-independent experiment the coming season. National League clubs will be brought here this year to meet the Indianapolis eleven and these games will serve as the financial test. The Indianapolis affiliation with the major grid league will be worked out in such a manner that will leave no doubt about the city's taste for salaried football. The National League wants Indianapolis as a member on account of its central location. Transportation is a big item and this city would fit in nicely when the big circuit eventually is enlarged to twelve clubs, the goal of the loop. a a a a a a PROFESSIONAL football failed in Indianapolis on several occasions and the promoters lost heavy Only a certain number of fans supported the ventures and it seemed as though no ballyhoo was strong enough to bring attendance up to a paying standpoint. However, the local pro elevens of the past had no league affiliation and were handicapped in other ways for want of solid organization, regular schedule making, and balanced elevens. Joe Canning was the last courageous sportsman to tackle the game locally and while his teams drew fairly well in Indianapolis there were not enough cities in Indiana with clubs of high caliber and pulling power at the gate. a a a a a a JOE F CARR of Columbus, O ; is president of the National Professional Football League and thinks the circuit will enjoy its best season in 1933. There will be other affiliates, organized, like Indianapolis. according to Carr, with the idea of making future seasons even bigger Carr got his tart in football as manager of the old Columbus Pandhandles in the days before most of the present-day football stars were born. "We’ve shown a marked increase in attendance every year.” Carr says. "Despite the depression and the worst weather we’ve ever experienced. 1932 was our best season in history. Usually, when a team lost money in the old days it dropped out. Also I was always getting calls to come in and help ’em unsnarl their finances. Those days have passed." a a a van ONLY one team which was in the league last year won't start this year and three new ones will face the barrier. The only 1932 team to drop out was the Staten Island Stapletons. In place of the Stapletons the league has three new clubs, bringing the total to ten. The new teams are the Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Pirates. Holdover teams in the major grid circuit are: Boston Redskins. Brooklyn Dodgers, Chicago Bears and Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants and Portsmouth Spartans. a a a a a a “Affiliated elevens, when formed, will serve two purposes,” Prexy Carr declares. “One will be to stimulate interest in pro football. The other will be to bring many teams which have been operating independently under the rules of our league. One rule we'll especially stress in all affiliated organizations is the one forbidding tampering with college football players until they have completed their eligibility with the school they’re attending." a a a a a a WHEN Patsy Perroni. Cleveland’s young heavyweight of promise, defeated the rough and tough Johnny Risko, there were some who decided the outcome in Patsy's favor was a fluke. Risko. who fears no man, was supposed to have it all over his fellow townsman and Perroni was not given a whole lot of credit at the time. Later, and only recently. Patsy invaded New York and convinced the fistic experts there that he was no flash in the pan. He drubbed Izzy Gastanaga, the ferocious and hard-swinging Spaniard, before an amazed crowd at Madison Square Garden. Previous doubters now have become Pcrroni's staunchest supporters. The Cleveland Italian fights “street corner style” and is the type of pug the customers rave over. He appears to be definitely on the way up the heights. It would be something new in pugilism if an American born Italian some day would rake the world title from Primo Camera, native son of Mussoliniland. The guess, though, is that Max Baer, the Californian, will “take” Primo first in the event he gets the chance.

Tribesmen Gain Third > Indians Come From Behind Beat Blues and Climb Over Saints. Hy Time* Special KANSAS CITY. Mo., Aug. 23 Scoring ten runs in the last three innings to stage one of the biggest comebacks of the season at Muehli bach field, the Indians of Red K:I leier stepped out under the lighi Tuesday night and made it two n a row over the K. C. Blues by annexing the .series second tilt, 10 to 5. | The Tribesmen trailed, 5 to 0, for six stanzas and it looked like a surefire win for the lowly Kaws. Suddenly the Hoosiers whipped into action in the seventh with a fiverun rally, tying the score, and in the eighth they tallied three times and finished out the night with two markers in the ninth. Turner Settles Down With St. Paul losing two to Columbus. Tuesday, the Indians climbed back into third place in the league race, a position they lost when they fell into a slump in the northwest. Jim Turner went the full route on the Tribe mound Tuesday and Kansas City employed Shores and Browning. Turner was no puzzle In the early rounds, but he was fortunate and tightened up in the late innings as the K. C. pitching collapsed. Bill Shores "blew up’’ completely in the seventh after blanking the Indians for six. rounds. Total hits were fourteen for Indianapolis and thirteen for Kansas City. Wingard Hits Timely Wingard led the Hoosier attack with a double and triple and batted in two runs. Chapman, Sigafoos, Cooney and Bcdore each got two blows. The Indians played errorless ball while two miscues were chalked against the Kaws. The series will close with tonight's game and on Friday the Indians will open a series in Milwaukee.

BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Fret* Staff Correspondent YORK.

Meany’s figures show the Giants toughest battle lies ahead, and the amazing Boston Braves are liable to cause plenty of grief.

Big Gun in Braves' Late Drive

x ■ -4. \ 1 1i ** t ip si i? j t s ] t ‘■■A,., , '

ONE of the big reasons the Boston Braves are riding high in second place in the National League and looming as a dangerous threat to the New York Giants pennant hopes is Wally Berger. The husky young flychaser has reached his full stride after a slow start and has been hammering the ball for timely extra base wallops in the Redskins’ drive which has netted fourteen triumphs in seventeen games. His twenty-second homer of the season in the fourteenth inning Tuesday gave Bill McKechnie’s Tribe its fourth straight triumph over the Pirates.

Braves Sweep Series With Bucs, Take Second Place in N. L. Race

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Aug. 23.—Just when the baseball world was beginning to wonder who would be the next manager of the Boston Braves, the Tribe staged one of the season's most notable uprisings, apparently assuring Manager Bill McKechnie of another contract. McKechnie signed a four-year contract with the club in 1930 giving him full authority to rebuild the Braves from the ground up, and this was Bill's last season to show results. The Braves haven’t won a National League pennant since 1914. and they haven't finished in first division since 1921. But now that the Braves are in second place and bowling along sturdily with 14 wins in their last 17 starts —with only 37 games left to play—it seems certain they’n wind up in the upper strata of the circuit, although the Giants’ sevengame lead seems too great for the Braves to pare down for the pennant. Boston wrested second place from

Pittsburgh Tuesday by beating the Pirates, 5 to 4, when Wally Berger drove out his twenty-second homer of the season in the fourteenth inning. His clout was the second hit off veteran Waite Hoyt, who took the Pirates' mound in the fourth, replacing Hal Smith. Frankhouse went the route for Boston, allowing ten scattered hits. This victory completed a fourgame sweep over Pittsburgh, and dropped the Pirates to a fourthplace tie with Chicago. In the American circuit, the second place New York Yankees cut Washington's lead to seven and a half games by shading Cleveland, 4 to 3, while the Senators bowed to Detroit. 10 to 8.

Sewell had been benched for a batting slump. Lefty Gomez was an important factor, limiting the Indians to four

And—this is important, so please take note—the Giants have thirty-one more games to play with the leaders and only twelve against the set-ups. while the Braves have only twenty-two more to go with the leaders and fifteen to play with the pushovers.

Form City Pro Eleven Six Local Men Back Big Time Club, to Open Sept. 13 Here. BY VERN BOXEI.L Indianapolis may be represented in the National Professional League, the major circuit of football, in 1934. This became known Tuesday with the announcement by a group of six local men that a strong professional eleven, the Indianapolis Indian.*, would play local and road games against members of the big time circuit this year. A squad of all-America and allsectional stars, Including several , 1932 Hoosier collegiate heroes and perhaps a few nationally-prominent performers from the Portsmouth Spartans, a member of the league j and title runner-up last year, will begin practice here the first week in September. While the Hoosiers will not be members of the National League ; this year, they will play members of j the loop. Four night games have been carded for September, and will be played at Perry stadium or But- ! ler bowl. Potsy Clark, former Butler U. ! coach who is affiliated with the new local club in an advisory capacity, will bring the Portsmouth club he coaches for the opener on Wednesday. Sept. 13. The Chicago Cardinals will visit here Sept. 20. with the powerful New York Giants hero Sept. 27 and Cincinnati here on Oct. 4. Other league teams will follow. Joe Dienhart, who has produced championship teams at Cathedral high school after a brilliant career at Notre Dame and Butler, will coach the local aggregation. Dienhart is expected to announce several members of the all-star squad within the next few days. William Clauer, former secretary of the Indianapolis American Association baseball club, probably will be president of the local club, with C. A. Sumner, manager of the Kokomo Legion eleven for eight years, as manager. John C. Ruckclshatis is a director and attorney, and William Richardson probably will be secretary-treasurer. The success of the local club during the 1933 season probably will determine whether Indianapolis will be represented in the big league next year, it was indicated.

liance no one doubts the ability cf Mangin and Bell to score an upset. England’s best team, Fred Perry and F. H. D. Wilde, face rough sledding too. as they match strokes with tho sixth-seeded Cliff Sutter and Dr. Eugene McAuliff. In contrast are the happy lots of Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn, who meet Watson Washburn and A.' MePrehson; of George Lott and Lester Stoefen, who meet Arnold Jones and L. Tiers, and of Frank Shields and Frank Parker, who meet S. P. Young and D. S. Freshwater of England. The first round slid by without an upset, the twelve seeded teams losing only five sets among them.
