By Eddie Aslbi Senators Dig Up ‘Screw’ Ball Thrower • * 4 Heavy Work Begins on Hoosier Grids

10E CRONIN’S Senators confess wholesome respect for ** Carl Hubbell’s “screw” ball, but are doing everything possible to learn how to combat the mystifying delivery of the Giants famous southpaw. And as an example of how thor-1 ough a baseball club does things to groom itself for a world I series, the presence is cited of southpaw Ray Prim on the] Washington late-season roster. When the Senators they were headed for the American League pennant and fall classic, and also knowing that the Giants and Hubbell also were headed toward the championship, Washington scouts were commanded to go out and dig up a lefthander who knew something about the “screw” ball. Well, the scouts delivered and Ray Prim was their answer. .# * * * PRIM is no Hubbell by the proverbial mile, but he employs what is described as a fair • screw" and is using it against the Senators in battira Dractice almost daily. Fact is. he has been performing this service for several and it s possible Cronin s boys will benefit. At any rate, voune Prim got a Job in the majors on the strength of his ability to copy Hubbells style in a small way. He hails from the Albany (N. Y.i club. If the Senators upset the dope and solve Hubbell, this Prim person certainly would be assured of big steaks all winter and a swell trip south in the spring. Things happen that way in baseball, anrf no foolin. tt o o ® ® a SPECTATOR at the world series next week will receive a full play/Y er s share aoout $6,000 if the club he pulls for wins and 54.000 if it loses. Name? A1 Smith. Not the A1 Smith of Happy Warrior fame, but just a youth who has been employed this year as batting practice Ditcher by Manager Terry of the Giants. The kid. who is no kin of the Happy Warrior, showed talent in the spring and requested to be kept with tr.e club in the role of “assistant coach" rather than be sent out to the little minors He preferred to stick around with the Giants and absorb ( tie league wavs. A1 is a southpaw and has not pitched a ball all season except before a game. World series rules do not permit three coaches and voung Smith will be barred from the field in the classic after game time. He has arranged to occupy a choice seat in the grandstand near the Siam? dugouf both in New York and Washington and watch his bankroll grow. The Giant regulars voted him a full share of the spoils. B aa a a a \ \ TITH the exception of Purdue and Notre Dame, all state college grid W elevens will have exhibited their 1933 warriors when Saturday s action is concluded. The Boilermakers and Irish will not make their bow season un.,l Oct. 7. Coach Hayes' Indiana Paa.mers a.re going to tackle Miami of Oxford, 0.. Saturday afternoon and the game * expected to be a lid-lifter productive of smashing play. In other words, is no .set-up I U. alumni residing in Indianapolis are going down , to Bloomington reeling sure their team-is going to land on top, but only after a terrific fight. It looks like Indiana by the margin of two touchdowns. A few of the state secondary schools got under way last week and others will follow this week-end. u „ a BALL STATE of Muncie and Butler will clash under the lights at Fairview bowl tonight and another early-season thriller is promised.; With splendid grid weather on tap. the football-minded of the city can nor miss on this tussle. Keen rivalry exists between the opponents and both machines are set to bear up under a mauling contest. The Franklin- j Butler fracas last week drew' a big crowd and another enthusiastic ering is promised tonight. g If B 800 INDIANAPOLIS high schools were active today in five games, and on , Saturday there will be one. The program today called for Tech j against Newcastle on the east side. Washington vs. Marion on the west j side Shortridge vs. Jeff of Lafayette on the north side. Broad Ripple vs. Plainfield at Ripple and Manual at Elwood. Cathedral will tackle South- | port on the south side, at Delavan Smith field. Saturday, and the Cardi- . nals of Southport evidently are pointed to make it a battle all of the way. ; The score last year was close. Cathedral winning by one touchdown. | Southport this year already has bowled over three opponents without j meeting defeat. u a a Pld Purdy, former Indianapolis outfielder, was a batting star writh j San Antonio in the Texas League this season.

Blue Eleven Revamped for Ball State Frav j Several Pastimers Shifted by Coach Mackey to Bolster Defense and Speed Attack; Women Admitted Free to Butler Bowl Tonight. A revised lineup that grew from both an unsuccessful attempt against Franklin and a w’eek of searching out weak spots, will be thrown against the Ball State Cardinals tonight in the Butler bowl by Coach Fritz Mackey, Bulldog pilot. Changes w r ere made to strengthen the Butler line and to insure more accuracy in aerial attacks. Ralph Weger, Butler's stellar ball-carrier, will start at halfback in the place of Simpson, working opposite Cecil Ray, who accounted for most of the Bulldog’s ground-gaining last week. These two will be expected to pile up an early advantage by skirting ends and leaving plays through tackle for last minute yardage. Bob Eynotten has been shifted from his usual end position to replace Bob Brown at tackle, with Bill Thomas filling the wing left by Eynotten. Chet McNerney will be given a chance to start at center. Weger was left out of the starting eleven last week because of his late appearance for drill. But with a full week of scrimmage to his credit, he should share equally with Ray in the spectacular plays.

Vets Struggle for N. D. Jobs By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind„ Sept. 29. The danger of losing their jobs to sophomores has caused Nick Lukats and Steve Banas, veetran Notre Dame backs, to open up with everything they have in practice.

more spirited blocking and plunging than in any workout this year. Mike Layden, brother of the famous Elmer Layden of the Four Horsemen of 1924, is one of the sophomores battling for a job in the back field on this year’s Irish squad. Young Mike seems sure to land some-

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1933

Practice session Thursday was devoted entirely to signal drill in an effort to correct several plays that were blundered last week because of rusty combinations. Coach Mackey re-charted his defensive system during the week to prepare for a passing barrage that last year netted the Cardinals two touchdowns. Rhynie squads were sent through Muncie formations during the week’s scrimmage, and were consistently stopped by the Bulldog regulars. Phil Thompson, who was outstanding in the Franklin tilt, will take over Bob Stewart's job at fullback. Stewart will see some service, but most of the passing combinations will be supervised by Thompson. During the week, Thompson’s passing has been even more consistent than last week. Tony Hinkle, director of athletics, announced today that women again would be admitted free to the tilt tonight when accompanied by one full paid, general admission ticket. Probable starting lineups are: BUTLER. BALL STATE. Laymon L. E Wilson Eynotten L. T Shroyer Batts L. G Ludington McNerney C Dunavent Curtis R. G Rent Armstrong R. T Light Thomas R. E Shuck J.
