By Eddie Ash It's Pick-Off Time Out Fairview Way a m m Young Bulldogs Tilt College Lid Tonight
JT'S kick-off time at Butler bowl. The collegiate gridders out Fairview way will tilt the lid on the 1933 season under the lights tonight, meeting the Franklin warriors in a game postponed from Friday. Coach Fritz Mackey of the Bulldogs has a young team under his wing this year and the city’s followers of the rah rah sport are eager to see how the youthful helmet-wearers will perform against the Baptists. The contest will mark the start of Mackey's second season as chief of the Butler color bearers and if enthusiasm counts for anything, the north side skipper is sure to supply Indianapolis with a hard-fighting, aggressive eleven. Butler certainly got a tough blow on the part of weather conditions in its opening of the new schedule, but no time was wasted today in working the playing field over and the footing is expected to be fairly firm when the starting whistle sounds at 8:15 tonight. Night football is a gamble at best on account of freakish weather in the early fall, but the grid players, like the baseball pastimers, don t mind the absence of daylight after they swing into action and go ahead and cut loose and perform in smashing style. U XX O O O O DANIEL M DANIEL, the baseball expert of the New York WorlcTelegram has gone into hard training to face the barrier in the Insomnia handicap. He has been appointed head man to handle and guide the world series baseball writers at the New York end. With both day and night scribes piling in on him Daniel will have to prepare himself for twenty-four-hour shifts, with no NRA code to help him. His headquarters will be the Hotel New Yorker. Oh, is that where we are going to stop? bbb bbb Eleven hits and no runs for the Philadelphia Phillies Friday. What a ball club! 888 888 LEAVE it to Babe Ruth to extend the old congratulations. When Joe Hauser, former American Leaguer, posted anew world s home run record of 69 with Minneapolis this season. Ruth wired Joe as follows: “My hat is off to you. When I hit my sixteenth home run in 1927, I was confident the record would stand for some time, maybe for all time. But I am good enough sport to recognize any one who oeats me. I salute you because of your 69 home runs and hope that feat gives you a chance to come up with us again. With that kind of a message in his pocket, the popular Hauser may be able to sell himself to another chance in the big show. At any rate, on Ruth s part, it is git ing a minor leaguer a break Hauser also topped Babe s mark in 1930 when he hit 63 homers for Baltimore. 888 888 CHAMPIONS are crushed and washed up in baseball from year to year. Fact is, frequently over winter they lose what it takes to stay on the throne. Dale Alexander of Boston led the American League in batting in 1932 with a mark of .367. The last 1933 averages show him hitting .282. Lefty O'Doul topped the National League hitters last year with a mark of .368. Last 1933 figures placedhim down among the also-rans at .284. 888 888 IF you are attending one of Purdue’s football * games this fall, don t become confused if the program should inform you that both the left and right tackle berths are being filled by Fehring. Captain Dutch Fehring is a great tackle, but could hardly handle both berths. The other Fehring would be Ted Fehring, Dutch’s brother, who is a sophomore this year and a candidate for the right tackle job. Ted, who is a second Dutch in build, lacks experience, but undoubtedly will break into several games. Purdue's game with Ohio university at Lafayette on Oct. 7, will be anything but the popular conception of an “opener Don Peden s Bobcats have piled up one of the bet record in the middle west and have proved their right to compete in fast company. The Bobcats have been the most consistent team in the Buckeye Intercollegiate conference, and last season scored a resounding 14 to 0 triumph over Navy, coached by one of Coach Noble Kiser s old Notre Dame mates.

C. iBilly) Hayes and other members of the Indiana coaching staff in the opening meeting of the year for the Indiana University Club at 12:15 p. m. Monday in the Columbia Club ballroom. All male graduates and former students of the university are invited. Reservations now are close to 200. John F. Lance, president of the club, stated today advance reservations through Riley 2566 will be appreciated. Coach Hayes will make his third annual appearance before the club since he became head football coach in 1931. He will diagnose the Indiana football situation and due to the fact reports indicate optimism at Bloomington. Hayes’ spech Monday is awaited with interest and enthusiasm by Crimson followers. Members of the facultv athletic committee and prominent state and professional leaders will attend. Governor Paul V McNutt is scheduled to be present. PA and Ma Hubbell went in for boys in a big way. Carl Hubbell. phenom screwball lefthander of the champion New York Giants, has five brothers. That's enough family power to win any kind of a fight. In 1926 Carl was with the Detroit Tigers. Said Ty Cobb, manager: “Toss that screwball into the ash can. You never will get anybody out with it.” Cobb, now living in California, doubtless read all the newspaper accounts of the Giants’ games this year and looked askance at the shutouts piled up by one Hubbell, screwball master.

M'NUTT CHOICE FOR STATE JOB TO BE IGNORED When and if E. J. Barker is retired as secretary of the state board of agriculture on Jan. 1, he will not be succeeded by J. D. Hull, Columbus, McNutt choice, who was slated for the post, it was learned Friday. Hull has been acting as Barker’s assistant, but failed to click with Lieutenant-Governor M. Clifford Townsend. Governor Paul V. McNutt has left the recommendation of a successor to Townsend, since, under the new law, the board secretary will be assistant commissioner of agriculture. Townsend is the commissioner. He is said to favor a fellow Grant county citizen, William Jones, Fairmount. Jones was secretary of the board before Barker and as such managed the Indiana state fair. He since has served a term in a federal penitentiary on a charge of using the mails to defraud. Others in the picture for Barker’s post are Paul Hurley, Lafayette, formerly agricultural agent for the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and Fred Christian, Ft. Wayne, advertising manager of Allied Mills.

WIRE GRASS FOR RUGS IS NEW FARM INDUSTRY FALUN, Wis., Sept. 2?.—Cranberry raising, an industry that once brought SIOO,OOO annually to Burnett county, has disappeared, but in its place has sprung up the business of raising wire grass for rugs. In the last thirty years of the nineteenth century, more than 100,000 acres of Burnett county lowlands were devoted to cranberry raising. The crop always was heavy, since the low, swampy lands were ideal for the berry. The crop averaged 20.000 barrels each year, and was valued at 5100.000. However, the farmers in the vicinity killed the goose that laid their golden eggs. Seeking to improve their land, they constructed drains and built runways. The land dried out, and the cranberries disappeared. It was too dry. Gradually, the land reverted to the county for back taxes.* Later an effort was made to revive the j industry, but it failed. Within the last few years, however. anew industry has sprung up. that of harvesting wire grass in the lowlands for manufacturing into rugs and baskets. The grass is so tough and of such a fine texture that a rug company of New York purchased 16,000 acres, and uses all the grass harvested for its mills.
Johnny McDonald, left, and Don Yoder.
Thus the Senators’ eight-game lead over the Yankees easily might be attributed to the success of their pinch hitters. Cronin has sent in pinch hitters 133 times. They have made 36 hits, including 5 doubles, 1 triple and 2 home runs. Cliff Bolton and Dave Harris, left and right-handed batters, respectively, are the ace pinch hitters, Bolton with a pinch-hitting average of .563 and Harris .400.
finish no better than fourth in the regular league campaign, walk off with the championship because they had smashed through the first playoffs ever conducted in the circuit. After beating Baltimore, the third-place team, in the preliminary playoff, the Bisons bowled over Rochester in the final, and Rochester was the club that downed Newark's mighty Bears in their preliminary playoff. The Bears finished first in the regular campaign, fourteen and one-half games ahead of Rochester. Len Koenecke, who has been Buffalo’s batting star during the playoff, again paced the Bison attack on Friday night.
White varsity to a 20-to-6 triumph over the reserves. Campbell also performed well in the back field. Tech’s varsity trounced the reserves, 53 to 0, in a practice game, Coach John Mueller trying several combinations. With Harry Cherry leading the attack and Captain Luzar starring in the husky line, Washington's varsity bumped the second team, 25 to 10, while at Shortridge the reserves turned the tables on the varsity when Allen Scales intercepted a pass and ran fifty yards for a touchdown, adding the extra, point for a 7-to-0 win. Gatto, veteran guard, starred for the regulars.

A 20-yard swing around end and a pass to Royhans by McMahon accounted for the only touchdown in the second quarter. The victory may prove costly for the Indianapolis school, however, as Captain Dougherty, half back, was taken from the game after the second play with a torn leg ligament. A steady drizzle caused frequent fumbles. Cathedral threatened in the fourth quarter, losing the ball on downs on the one-yard line.

Washington Is 7-10 World Series Choice Giants Favored in First Two Games, However, in Quotations by Jack Doyle: Veteran Betting Commissioner 'Likes' N. Y. Personally. By United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 23.—Washington's Senators are favored to beat Bill Terry’s New York Giants in the approaching world series, according to quotations announced today by Jack Doyle, Broadway betting commissioner Doyle quoted 7 to 10 against Washington winning the classic, which opens at the Polo Grounds on October 3. and 11 to 10 against the Giants. Although Washington is the series choice, Doyle’s prices favor the Giants for the first contest and even money against the Senators. Discussing this angle with baseball writers, Doyle explained that no team could be made the favorite for a contest in which it faced Carl Hubbell, the Giants’ screw ball king, for the first time. He said Hubbell is certain to start the first game and his season record shows too many shutouts and one-run games for any one to lay odds against him.
Because of the probability that Hal Schumacher will start the second game, Doyle makes the Giants favorites over Washington to win the first two straight games. He quotes 11 to 5 against the Giants chances, and 13 to 5 against the Senators. Doyle quotes even money against any player making a home run during the series. Doyle is in a peculiar position. His prices favor the Senators to cop the series, but his personal belief is that the Giants will win. “My quotations follow the law of supply and demand,” he explained.
