M ICKEY COCHRANE, alias Frank Kin*, wormed one thousand bucks out of the Portland (Ore.), club of the Pacific Coast League when the agent of that team “discovered” him and signed him to a contract. Tom Turner, part owner of the Beavers, nearly came to blows with his partner. Bill Klepper, during an argument over the bonus given the green kid. Klepper objected and became furious, but Turner finally howled him down. Cochrane developed rapidly and the Beavers cleaned up a young fortune when the youngster was sold to the Philadelphia Athletics a couple of years later. Cochrane played under the name of Frank King with the Dover (Del.), team of the Eastern Snore League and was on that club when m out Turner happened along. Mickey held another jeai of eligibility at Boston university and for that reason covered himself up by using a different name as a professional. aaa a a a I I a.s after Labor day in 1323.

All-Stars and Bears Tie in Grid Game at Chicago Noble Kizer’s Team Surprises Chicago’s Biggest Crowd of Year by Holding Pro Champs Helpless. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Writer. CHICAGO. Sept. 1 —Maybe you know the answer. If so you're m a tetter spot than any of the 79.500 football fans who saw the Chicago Bears and the college team play four periods of scoreless football at Soldiers field last night. Both teams had the opportur.ity of a lifetime to settle once and for all the qur tion of collegiate \ersus professional ability on the gridiron. Both failed, although th? All-Stars piled up a total of yardage and first that convinced most of those who saw the game that the school oovs can at least nolo their own with their mercenary brothers.

The largest crowd to see a sports event in Chicago this year packed the great stadium in Grant Park and it is safe to say that the vast majority took their seats expecting to see the professionals shove the collegians about at will. It is doubtful that they were disappointed. but certainly they were surprised, to see a group of youths gathered bv popular vote from all sections of tne country banded into a team against wnich the world s champions of professional football were helpless. Krause Recovers Fumble The All-Stars stood with their backs to the wall in the second period when two successful passes punched them to their own 9-yard line and brought the spectators to their feet. Then Bill Hewitt, the vaunted Bruin end. fumbled a lateral pass from Ronzani and Ed Krause of Notre Dame recovered to end that threat. Again in the fourth period the Bears got the ball on their own 45vard line on an intercepted pass and advanced into college territory when Sisk slipped through the line for six yards Red Grange tossed the ball to Sisk, twenty-five yards distant, and it was first down on the All-Stars 25-yard line. But that was all. The pros elected to try the college line and their every thrust was smeared. Kick Barely Misses The All-Stars’ greatest threat came ;n the third period when Bill Smith. Washington end. came so close to kicking a field goal from the 40-yard line that half of the crowd had the score chalked up. Joe Laws of lowa was the most consistent ground gainer, but Mike Mikulak of Oregon made the longest run of the evening when he returned the opening kick off forty-five yards in the second half. The All-Stars were coached by Noble Kizer of Purdue. The lineup ar.d summary: BEARS ALL STARS Hewitt t F Northern Lvaun L.T Krause C' N D. Cer’.K-a L G Waltor.. Pittsburgh Mi’.'.er C Bernard.

Ellsworth Vines expects to become a father late in October and he’s pulling for a boy. . . . “And I hope the kid will be better on lowballs to his backhand than I am,” Vines said in making his announcement. ana THE tumbling crown of the championships still is undecided. . . . During the week J. Gilbert Hall has produced two tailspins with a half twist, Berkeley Bell has come through, two flying Dutchmans and a back jackknife without the aid of a bathing suit, but Frank Shields is the only one who has executed a swan without endangering the customers. . . . If Shields can do another swan in shorts, he may take the historic cup that has defied all comers for eighty-nine years. a a a LOTT’S amazing triumphs this week have not been without monetary profit. ... He wagered ten iron men on himself against Berkeley Bell and the same against Frank Shields. ... As the records disclose, he won both times. . . . Lott has not revealed what he intends to do with his winnings. ... He may buy an estate on Long Island, but the odds are he will buy milk and cream for the orphans for South Chicago. a a a TENNIS stars hereabouts do not care to go on the courts unless armed with butterfly nets . . . The winged beauties are very numerous at Rye, probably because of the rival beauties congregating in grand stands. . . . Lott already has tried to promote a professional butterfly catcher, without success . . He is willing to offer 40 cents an hour, providing he can polish off his opponents in less than 60 minutes. BBS BEASLEY rates Wilmer Allison as the man to be most feared in the national championships . . . Thinks Wilmer will beat Perry if they meft . . . Our own guess is, well —it’s between perry and Lott.
