By Eddie Ash Germany Beats Yankees to an Idea 99m Baseball Is Planned at 1936 Olympics

'T'HE Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles in 1932. Baseball is described as the national pastime of America, yet the game of lacrosse was played at Los Angeles and permitted to ride along as representative of Yankee sports. American Olympic officials and organized baseball were “looking out the window” and muffed completely the opportunity to give foreign visitors an idea of Uncle Sam’s No. 1 competitive sport. Germany caught the idea, however, and has arranged to stage a baseball exhibition at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. And Germany thought of the feature itself, catching the American major leagues napping again. An amateur team will be sent from the United States to play a nine from Japan in a single night game on Aug. 13 and already the German Olympic committee feels sure the baseball contest w ill prove a boon to gate receipts beyond all early expectations. aaa ß • * , Bob SHAWKEY, former New York Yankee pitcher and manager, struck ’ gold tn Canada and is headed for riches. He piloted the Newark International Bears this year. Shawkey is a “dude" miner, howe%er He is the boss and pays others to do the digging. Bob says lie dot n't int- nd to retire front baseball until lie "knows' he is not dreaming about his luck *n the ground near Amos, Manitoba. a am a a a MICKEY COCHRANE, manager of the Detroit Tigers, has been traveling through the west giving interviews and explaining his 1935 team will be all il Obtaining a good lefthanded pitcher. Perhaps Mickey forgets that he bought C*yde Hatter of Louisville, a couple of months ago. The Colonel southpaw looked great during the Closing weeks of the A. A. season. Hatter was tops over all A. A. hurlers in effectiveness. Jim Elliott of Columbus turned in a lower “earned run average against.” but Jumbo Jim took part in only ninety-nine innings to 178 for Hatter. Clyde’s earned run average was 339 per nine innings. Elliott's average was 3.27. Bob Logan and B 11 Burwell of Indianapolis finished with marks of 3.68 and 3.70 respectively. Walter Tauschcr, Minneapolis, was leader in number of victories, twenf -one, and in durability, pitching in fifty games. Bolen, Indianapolis. pitched the most Innings. 269, and led in strikeouts with 177. a a a a a a WHILE it is true that Earl Webb of Milwaukee nosed out Vernon Washington for the hitting leadership of the American Association by a fraction of a point, it also is true that Webb was ont of the •game for a stretch during the latter part of the season when pitchers were at the.r best. Webb competed in only 106 games to 144 for Washington. That's a big difference. The Indianapolis slugger was at bat 558 times to 424 for Webb, and Washington played the majority of games in spacious Perry stadium, whereas Webb had the benefit of the short foul line fences at Milwaukee. Washington pounded out 205 hits, including forty doubles, thirteen triples and sixteen home runs. Webb collected 156 hits, twenty-seven doubles, three triples and eleven home runs. Moreover, Washington batted in 120 runs to 84 by Webb. a a a a a a The Kansas City A. A. club has selected Mobile as its 1935 spring training camp and Louisville has chosen Union City. Term. Jim Pierce, Indianapolis, Louisville trainer, inspected the Union City site and recommended it to the Colonel bosses. Pierce is occupied at present as trainer for the Park school football team here. a a a a a a 808 WOODWORTH the efficient purveyor of sports publicity at Purdue, kept a statistical account of the Boilermaker-Maroon tilt in Chicago last Saturday and has this interesting piece to offer: "Seldom has any back turned in as brilliant an individual performance. as Duane Purvis. Purdue's versatile all-America, against Chicago. Purvis consistently outkickcd Jay Berwanger. the Maroon ace, averaging slightly better than forty-four yards from the line of scrimmage: was the leading ground gainer of the game with 143 yards in twenty-one attempts on running plays from scrimmage: had the highest average gain of any back in the game. 6 8 yards per crack; scored one touchdown on a seventy-three-yard run. and tossed two perfect passes that were directly responsible for two other touchdowns. He got off one punt that traveled seventyfive yards on the fly. He was standing on his own 25-yard line as he kicked, and the ball landed squarely on the Maroon goal line.”

FRICK ELECTED NATIONAL LEAGUE LEADER

Former Sport Writer Given Heydler Post

Retiring President E j&' .es Board Chairman; lTaoand Also Given Position. By I'nitrd Press NEW YORK, Nov. B.—Ford Frick, former sports writer, today was elected president of the National League, succeeding John Arnold Heydler, who resigned last week. Harvey Traband, for many years secretary to Heydler, was made secretary and treasurer. Heydler formerly held all three offices. A new office, that of chairman of the board, was created and Heydler was elected to this post “for life.” BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. B—Ford C. Frick of New York, publicity director of the National League and former baseball writer and radio sports commentator, probably will be elected league president today. Dark-haired, dynamic Frick would be the youngest man ever to become a major league prexy. He will be 41 next month. His youth, ability, relations with press and radio and his current connection with the circuit are expected to win a majority vote of the eight National club owners in today's executive meeting. Make Gesture for Heydler He would succeed venerable John A. Heydler, who announced his resignation Friday because of poor health, following revelations that he had private detectives watching certain teams in the closing stages of the pennant race to forestall any possible scandal. Heydler’s resignation will become effective Dec. 11. Heydler is retiring from the combined offices of president and secre-tary-treasurer, but he is expected to be named lifetime honorary president, on salary, in appreciation of his sixteen years’ service as league head. This honorary appointment also would be a nice gesture on the part of club owners to show the baseball world that there was no connection between Heydlers retirement and the detective revelations, although they coincided closely. Traband May Get Post It is understood that the owners plan to split up the position combination and give the secretarytreasurer post to Harvey Traband of New York, who was Heydler's private secretary for many years. Numerous other candidates have been mentioned for the presidency, but best informed baseball sources claim Frick has the inside track. A "big name” successor is unlikely because that would necessitate a “big name” salary. Proposals that Heydler reconsider his resignation, take a one-year leave of absence and return to his post at the end of that time, have been rejected. In failing health, he wishes to shift the responsibilities to younger shoulders.

Parelli Is Placed on Hall Mat Card Grappler to Meet Kief in Feature Scrap.

Captain Harry Richardson and Coach Phil Brown of the Engineers.

THERE is quite a lot of activity around the Rose Poly campus these days as the Engineers prepare for the invasion of Oakland City college eleven tomorrow afternoon.

New Rulings Revealed in I. H. S. A. A. Bulletin State Association to Have Charge of All High School Sports; Cathedral Petition Turned Down. BY DICK MILLER Approximately 5,000 high school players are participating in football throughout Indiana this fall, the November bulletin of the Indiana High School Athletic Association issued by Commissioner A. L. Trester indicates. The bulletin lists eighty-nine schools, members of the association,

as having football teams involving 4,674 boys, all of whom have passed physical examinations. Jasonville, with only nineteen ylayers. has the smallest squad. Three Indianapolis schools—Shortridge with 145, Technical with 112 and Manual with 101, each had squads over the century mark when the call for football was issued. Washington of East Chicago had 122 and Kokomo, 104. The 4,674 total is boosted above 5,000 by players who are attending schools not members of the association. The minutes of the recent meeting held by the athletic council of the association in conjunction with the state teachers convention states the old rule giving the association sanction over only a few sports whs amended to include all sports. Football Penalties Set It also was agreed that the automatic penalty for any member school playing football after Nov. 30 will be suspension, and for any individual player participating in a game, ineligibility until March 1 of the next year. Sports aw r ards, such as trophies, will be governed henceforth by the rule that has applied to sweaters. All awards are to have symbolic value only. Vacancies on the athletic council are to be filled by those elected each year between Dec. 1 and 10, rather than by special election by other council members. The application of Cathedral high school for membership in the I. H. S. A. A. w r as dropped when the council unanimously voted to uphold the present rule allowing only public high schools to be admitted. Favorable action on Cathdral's application undoubtedly would have meant that other sectarian high schools in the state would have sought membership in the I. H. S. A. A. Withdrawal Rule Removed Set out as important dates for high school principals to.remember, so that they may get their entry blanks in on time, are the sectional basketball tourneys. March 1 and 2, 1935; regional tournaments, March 9, and final tournament, March 15 and 16. The sectional track meets will be held May 11, 1935, with the final meet May 18. The state golf meet will be held on the same date as the final track meet. Several resolutions were tabled, among them one that would relieve high school officials from liability for injuries incurred by athletes in games. Another sought to require principals to keep accurate summaries of all contests engaged in by his school over a four-year period. The automatic withdrawal rule was stricken from the constitution. Length of basketball and football seasons and the number of games to be permitted in basketball were discussed at length, but no action was taken. It had been suggested that schools be required to participate in football or some out-of-doors athletic activities until Dec. l before taking up basketball practice. MILLER BOUT POSTPONED By United Press BARCELONA. Nov. 8. The featherweight bout between Freddie MilTer of Cincinnati, recognized in some countries as champion of his class, and Jose Girones, was postponed for a second time yesterday. The postponement was made indefinite and wras caused by a tumor in the Spaniard’s arm.

Chilean Jumpers Tie U. S. Mounts Nearly IC,OOO Persons See Horse Show Events. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. B.—A crowd of nearly 10,000 attended last night’s opening of the national horse show at Madison Square Garden, one of the largest attendances in the show’s 51-year history. Society was well represented. Spectators were thrilled at the unexpectedly excellent performance by the first Chilean team ever to compete in the show. A colorful quartet of small Chilean horses, well ridden by arrny officers, featured the program. Despite their small stature the Chilean mounts sailed over the tricky Olympic course of thirty-two fences and registered only eight faults, tying the United States team for the lead in the military tests. The Irish Free State came third with fifteen faults; the Canadian team fourth with eighteen, and the French riders fifth with tw’enty-four.

Fear Grips Purdue Football i Camp as lowa School Gains Strength for Tilt at Home Boilermakers Cast Wary Eyes Westward Where Coach Solem's Hawkeyes Are Rallying as Injuries Heal; Jim Carter Has Knee Bruise. By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. B.—Though elated by the brilliant triumph over Chicago, in which the Eoilermaker averaged nearly five and one-half yards a crack on running plays, Purdue's football squad settled down yesterday to a sober realization that lowa, back at its full strength for the first time since early games, presents a real hurdle in the Big Ten title path.

Coach Noble Kizer pointed out to the Boilermaker squad that the Haw r keyes, with a potentially great eleven, have been handicapped by injuries in their past three games in much the same manner that Purdue was disrupted at the start of the season. Kizer fully expects that all of the Hawkeye convalescents, including Captain Fisher and Simmons, will be back in the lineup for the Boilermaker fray this Saturday at lowa City, ready for a "last ditch” stand to redeem lost prestige. Well aware of ine potential power of the Hawks, who have a much more finished crew than their season’s record indicates, the Boilermakers are frankly fearful of a repetition of last year's 14-6 upset. Kizer hopes to have his eleven at full power for the Hawkeye invasion. Jim Carter, veteran half back, suffered a severe leg bruise shortly after he made his sixty-yard touchdown dash against Chicago, but the stiffness is expected to work out by Saturday. Drill or defense, with the emphasis on aerial defense, has been

; the main menu for the Boilermakers ; since their return from the exhausting Maroon encounter, although Kizer intends to devote today to gearing up the offense to meet the threat of Dick Crayne and O.se Simmons. * Wabash Regulars Return to Lineup j By Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Nov. j 8. —Berns and Blackmore, injured : Wabash regulars, worked out with I the varsity yesterday and are exi pected to be starters against Frankj lin here Saturday.
