\yiTH a bow to Michigan followers for the grand record of their wonderful Wolverine grid machine, Hoosiers all | over the state will be pulling tomorrow for the Gophers of Minnesota when the giants of the north invade coach Harry Kipke’s stronghold at Ann Arbor. State fans feel sure Noble Kizer’s Purdue will continue their marvelous pace and trip up lowa, and in the event of a Michigan defeat and a Purdue victory the smooth-working eleven from the banks of the Wabash will be in excellent position to knock off the Big Ten championship this year. Kizer has succeeded in developing a team that supplies the fans with the kind of football entertainment they prefer, the open game, sparkling with a swift running attack and long passes. Possessed with fast steppers in the back field, the squad is likely to break out with touchdown run at any time and from any spot. The speed also is an important factor in making long passes click, with the receivers out-running the opposing safety man to get into a clear field. B B B B B B INDIANAPOLIS ball club officials served notice at the Galveston baseball convention yesterday to the effect they don’t intend to wait until spring to strengthen the Tribe for the next campaign. Manager Red Killefer used some of Owner Perry’s cash and purchased two Texas League stars. They are outfielder Vernon (George) Washington and pitcher Lefty Chambers, both of Ft. Worth. Washington is famed for distant hitting and he will have plenty of room at Perry stadium to exhibit his powerful swing. He is known as "G. Wash” in the Texas loop and is a colorful performer and a crowd pleaser. Ft. Worth baseball scribes predict Washington will have the Hoosier fans with him from the outset. Lefty Chambers turned in a good record the last season despite the lowly position of the Ft. Worth team, which was never in the running. The acquisition of Chambers gives Killefer three southpaws of merit, the others being Bob Logan and Stuart Bolen. tt tt tt tt tt st THE Indians paid $7,500 for the two Texas pastimers and then topped off the day by putting through a trade to obtain Vincent Sherlock, second baseman. Sherlock is from the San Francisco Missions of the' Pacific Coast League, Class AA. The Texas circuit is Class A. Pitcher Pete Dagfia, right hander, was turned over 10 the Missions in exchange for Sherlock. Daglia is originally out of the Coast loop. Manager Killefer of the Hoosiers said it was an even trade. Sherlock played in 133 games this year and batted .277. His hits included twenty-four doubles, six triples and one home run. He batted in fifty-six runs, stole eight bases and sacrificed ten times. Sherlock collected 150 hits in 543 times at bat for the San Francisco nine. BUB a a a RACE drivers of Indianapolis are tuning up their mounts and becoming fidgety. A big winter race will be held at Los Angeles on Dec. 10 and the local dare devils of the roaring way are going to make the trip to the Golden West and try for a slice of the prize money. Wilbur Shaw and Lou Moore are out there now and preparing to start from here are Red Shafer, Wild Bill Cummings, Stubbie Stubblefield, Leon Duray, Cotton Henning and Dave Evans. The event will be a combination track and road race of 200 miles. It will be a 2%-mile course. Bill Cowley, another Indianapolis pilot, may join the veterans and handle one of Shafer’s Buick speed buggies. Stubblefield will drive the Buick in which Shafer rode to triumph in the revival of the Elgin road race this year. The Indianapolis delegation, except Cowley, are seasoned 500-mile pilots. Cummings will guide Henning’s Miller Eight in the west coast classic. Duray owns a Miller Four speed chariot and will enter it. Leon has not announced his driver. The Angeles affair will count for points in the year's championship standing of drivers, it is said. a a a a a a OPENING its twelfth year of junior basketball competition, the Indianapolis Flashes Athletic Association, an incorporated club, is holding regular practice at Brookside gym. During the eleven years they have been in the field, the Flash teams have been coached by J. S. Johnston, who consistently has turned out strong squads that have finished high in midwestern rating. More than 300 players have performed on various Flash teams under Johnston. His junior squads have turned back many prominent senior quintets of the city and state. For the last three years Johnson has served as president of the Indiana Junior Basketball Association. a a a a a a INDIANAPOLIS American League Umpire Harry (I Told You So) Geisel, has evolved a system of picking football scores known as the second guess cinch. In the summer time the baseball fans second guess Geisel all over the ball parks and he thinks its his turn to do the second guessing on football. He reclines in an arm chair on Saturday night, engages somebody to read the scores of the day’s games in the football extras, and then makes his perfect picks. He’s the uncrowned champion. a a a a a a THIS city’s National League umpire, Ted (Four Meals) McGrew, has entered the business world. He held an open house last night at the Dinty Moore Tavern, on Ft. Wayne avenue, where he is manager. Ted features C. B. and C. Connie’s band supplied the music at the opening and Harry Geisel was chief announcer. McGrew helped win the World war by acting as chef for the officers at Camp Taylor. a a a a a a "G. Wash,” the Indians’ new outfielder, finished in a tie for third in the balloting to determine the most valuable player in the Texas League this year. Henry Bonura, former Indianapolis rookie first sacker, topped the list. a a a a a a It is reported Walter Hagen, the golfer, is negotiating for a job as American agent of a British whisky firm. Walter should know all about it. He’s the Haig and Haig of the links. a a a a a a Glenn Spencer, second string pitcher with the New York Giants, yesterday was traded to Cincinnati for George Grantham, veteran inflelder. Nothing for nothing. a m a a a a American Association fans who like to hear Art Shires shoot off his mouth and to see him squirt tobacco juice, will have that privilege next season. The Toledo Hens have obtained the baseball loud speaker from Rochester. 4

Ross Odds-On Favorite to Keep Welter Crown

By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 17. Barney Rcss, s’eek-haired Chicago Hebrew, holds two boxing championships, the lightweight and junior-welter-weight titles. Tonight he’ll risk the lesser of the two titles, the junior-welter-weight crown, against Sammy Fuller, a tough little Italian from Boston, in a ten-round bout at the Chicago stadium. Ross’ lightweight title will not be at stake, as the articles call for both boys to come in over the divisional limit of 135 pounds. Ross will weigh about 135 Vi, Fuller 138. Ross is quoted a 3-1 favorite in the newspaper odds, but there isn’t likely to be any betting at those odds. They merely represent the margin by which Ross outclasses Fuller on past performances. Yet some 14,000 persons will pay more than $20,000 to see the bout, despite the fact that Ross is considered almost a certain winner. Fuller, with his aggressive, willing style, probably will make a good fight of it and extend Ross to his best form. Ross, most dangerous as a counter-puncher, looks better and fights better when his opponent comes to him. That’s the way Fuller fights.

Cathedral Nears Pennant in Parochial Grid League

Cathedral grade school football team has visions of another parochial league championship this year as its football team prepares for the Anal game of the season with Little Flower at Riverside park Saturday morning. Father Dunn’s little eleven has a record of seven games won and none lost. Holy Trinity and St. Patrick are tied for second, each with one loss, that to Cathedral, and should Cathedral lose this week and the others win their remaining games, a chance for one of them to tie for the title would exist when they clash next week. With nine teams in the league, one draws a bye each week. Cathedral will be idle on the final SatLAMBERT AND FEEZLE TO SPEAK AT CLINIC Ward (Piggy) Lambert, basketball coach at Purdue university, and Stanley Feezle, prominent Big Ten net official, will be the feature speakers at the basketball clinic to be staged by the Indiana Officials Association in Butler fieldhouse Monday night. Winston Ashley, chairman of arrangements, announced today the program would be held in the big arena instead of the little gym. High school, college coaches and net officials from all over the state are expected to attend the free demonstration. Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle, Butler hardwood mentor, has two teams ready to play a regulation game and Feezle will officiate. Hinkle will elaborate on the changes in the rules. The clinic program will open at 7:do.

job with Pierce, the red haired Tiger star. When not busting the line, “Mac” as a dependable tackle. Long is a versatile placer. He can play back field or an end position and is a good kicker. He has been on the injured list but will be ready for the De Pauw clash, which will be the final game of the season for both elevens. The opening whistle is carded for 2 p. m.

An interesting angle on the bout is supplied by Dan Carroll, Fuller’s manager, who, many say, is the wealthiest fight manager in the game. “They say this fight is for the junior-welterweight title, whatever that is,” comments Carroll. “Well, we don’t give a hang for it. What we are really fighting for is a shot at Ross’ lightweight title. After the bout is over, I think that the fans will demand that Ross give Fuller a chance at the title. That’s how good Fuller is, and that’s why we took this Junior-heavyweight thing in the first place.” Ross, however, does not expect Fuller to give him any serious trouble, and he expects to win and go on to New York to defend his juniorwelterweight title again on Dec. 6 against Billy Fetrolle, the Fargo Express. Ross whipped Petrolle before he win his two titles from Tony Canzoneri last summer. After dethroning Canzoneri, Ross knocked out Johnny Farr in six rounds, and then successfully defended his laurels over the 15-round route against Canzoneri in New York. Tomorrow night’s bout will be the first for Ross since the Canzoneri bout in New York.

Lucas and Roettger Go for Piet and Comorosky Cincy Reds and Pirates Swing Big Swap of Prominent Major League Players: Baseball Magnates Windup Winter Convention at Galveston. BY STUART E. JONES United Press Staff Correspondent GALVESTON, Tex., Nov. 17.—Larry' MacPhail. expected to be named president of the Cincinnati Reds, today announced the trade of Red Lucas, veteran pitcher, and Walter Roettger, outfielder, to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Tony Piet, second baseman, and Adam Comorosky, outfielder. Piet batted .324 last year to lead the Pirates. He led the National League in stolen bases in 1932. Comorosky. who has not played regularly the last two years, batted .313 in 1931. He formerly played with In-

dianapolis. The stage was set here today for a whirlwind windup of the annual convention of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues. The executive committee, after a session which lasted almost all night, had practically cleared its slate. Magnates Take Cruise Delegates were to take a “breather” this afternoon in the form of a short cruise on the Gulf of Mexico on the coast guard cutter Saranac. Little business, with exception of completion of player deals still hanging, was to be transacted during the cruise. It appeared probable the convention would close -with the Shaughnessy play-off plan still a controverted matter as far as at least one league is concerned. The International League recessed its meeting last night without having definitely passed on the plan. The International League reelected Charles H. Knapp, president of the Baltimore Orioles, to a sixth term as its leader. April 18 was set as the opening date of the 1934 season. Better Times Predicted An optimistic view of the baseball future was taken by Branch Rickey, vice-president and general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. Addressing the convention last night Rickey declared the minor league situation “is better than at any time before in the last four years.” On the platform with Rickey was William G. Bramham, Durham, N. C., attorney who yesterday was reelected president of the national association with a $2,500 advance in salary. Also re-elected with a salary increase H. Farrell, Albany, N. Y., treasurer of the association. Mike Sexton, Rock Island, 111., former head of the organization, was elected permanent honorary president. Louisville, Ky„ was selected as the 1934 convention city. Grantham for Spencer The New York Giants yesterday announced that Glenn Spencer, right-handed pitcher, had been sent to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for infielder George Grantham. No cash was involved in the deal. The Giants need Grantham as a replacement for player-manager Bill Terry, In case “Memphis Bill’’ is injured or unable to hold down first base for other reasons. In a recent statement, Terry admitted he wasn't as young as he used to be and that he was looking for a good man to relieve him of some work on the busy corner, particularly when dou-ble-headers pile up.

4 Bouts Make Up Mat Show Four bouts, headed by a scramble between Ray Meyers of Louisville and Scotty Williams of Cincinnati, will make up tonight's wrestling show at Tomlinson hall. Meyers and Williams will grapple for two out of three falls with an hour and a half time limit. Billy Love, Lexington, Ky., and Roy Welch of Tuscon, Ariz.. will put on the semi-windup, with a forty-five-minute time limit set. Sailor Murphy and Speedy O'Neal will stage a prelim, with a thirtyminute time limit, and Charley Harbo was substituted today for Kid Slaughter, to meet Jack Adams in a fifteen-minute limit card opener. Bud Westfall will referee the matches. They start at 8:30. Dundee Will Defend Crown By United Press BOSTON, Nov. 17.—Vince Dundee of Newark, N. J., newly crowned world middleweight champion, today signed to make the first defense of his title against Andy Callahan, of Lawrence, in a fifteen-round bout at Boston Garden, Dec. 8. Callahan is New England welterweight champion and a year ago defeated Lou Brouillard of Worcester from whom Dundee won his title by outpointing him at the Garden recently. The Lawrence boxer’s latest victory was won from Mexican Garcia on the Pacific Coast. He is on the staff of Johnny Buckley, manager of Jack Sharkey, dethroned heavyweight champion. Under terms of the contract Dundee agreed to accept 37q. per cent of the gate and Callahan 12 M per cent.
