By Eddie Ash Baseball Too Soft for Charlie Devens m m m Pitcher Retires as the Depression Lifts

MAN quit* good-paying job because it's too soft. You don’t believe it? Well, it’s true. Charlie Devens. the baseball pitcher, has notifipd the New York Yankees that he has retired from the diamond to take up a banking career in Boston. Charlie (Hasty Pudding) is a graduate of Harvard and the idle time in baseball got on his nerves. "This life is too easy,” Devens said once last summer. "A pitcher works only occasionally and the hours every day are ridiculous. You sleep late and get lazy. However, it’s better than punching the clock.” Harvard Charlie was speaking to Daniel Daniel of the New York World-Telegram at the time. The depression wa* a* low point when Devens left college three years ago and he figured baseball was his best bet at the time. Now that rendition. l have picked up. Charlie is going to start anew career in a profession h# likes best The retirement of r>vens from the diamond is a blow to the plans of Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yankees. Joe developed the collegian and always has behaved the former Harvard star sooner or later would become a valuable asset to the New York Americans. • a a * a a * T'VIRECTOR of sports publicity, L. M.

Sectional Football Tilts Stir Interest This Week Pitt Coach Names Choices: Sees Victories for Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame and Gophers. BY JOC K SUTHERLAND Hm< Coarh. tainrsily af Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH. Nov. 16—Late November football give* us few intersections! battles, but to make up for this lack, there are plenty of outstanding sectional games. The east leads in this respect, Nov. 17, with our own game against Navy at Annapolis as one of the headmers.

Here is a game that Is a tossup. We beat Navy last fall, and under ordinary circumstances would be favored to repeat. But circumstances this year are not ordinary. The Middies have been playing the most sensational football in the east, and my scouts tell me their aerial game is to be greatly feared Our power attack will have to score frequently to beat Navy—and Buzz Borne*. Another game worthy of attention is the Syracuse-Colgate fray. Both teams are unbeaten by eastern foes and both have great attacks I think Colgate will be a little too last handling the ball for the Orangemen. In other eastern frays. Pnnceton. of course, must be fa'ored over Yale. Duquesne should take Carnegie Tech. Columbia should have an easy time with Ponn. and Holv Cross may be expected to overpower Brown At leas' one intersections’ game in the east should be a corker. It brings together Purdue and Fordham at New York. The contest us a tough one to pick, and it us tr.y hunch that the breaks will decide it—and perhapa in favor of the Boilermakers. There is little cause for alarm among the leaders in the south. Alabama will have no trouble in handing Georgia Tech anc'her defeat. Tulane and Louisiana State should hsve comparatively easy hurdles in Kentucky and Mississippi State respectively. In other southern games. Duke and North Carolina meet m a game that brill be the closest in y-ars. but one in which the Blue Denis must be given the edge Tennessee is a decided favorite to win over Vanderfcvlt. The middle west s big game will be between Minnesota and Chicago

The Maroons seem to be the last formidable opposition left m the path of the Gophers, but they hardlv can muster enough defensive strength to keep Minnesota at bay. However, their offense will be the best Biermans team has faced in the Big Ten. Other games in this section have decided favorites. Notre Dame will be too powerful for Northwestern; Michigan State should beat Detroit; Illinois will outrun Wisconsin, and Indiana and Maryland meet in an intersectional struggle, and the Hoosiers must be given the edge, I think, due to superior man power. In the Missouri valley. Nebraska will annex an important conference victory bv defeating Kansas.

MIDWEST BATTLES TO ATTRACT 200,000 FANS

Big Ten Grid Elevens Move Into Stretch Largest Conference Crowd of Season Expected at Ohio State Game. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY I nited Free* Staff Correapnndent CHICAGO, Nov. 16— Midwestern > football drama today moved swiftly | toward a climax as more than 200,000 spectators prepared to attend the five major games in this region tomorrow. This is the last Saturday, but one for Big Ten action. Kickoff time Saturday brings; A gridiron version of the old David-Goliath battle at Minneapolis, where Chicago's one-man i team will attempt to upset mighty Minnesota before 50,000. Illinois’ aerial circus attempting to continue its nerve-tingling, de-feat-defying string of victories against Wisconsin before 35,000 homecomers and Pat O'Dea, Badgers’ No. 1 football hero and football's most famous kicker, at Madison. I. U. to Draw 20,000 Ohio State seeking a top-heavy I victory at Columbus over its ancier.t, bitter rival, Michigan, before 70,000, the Big Tens largest crowd of the season. Renewal in Dyche stadium of the arch-rivalry between Notre Dame and Northwestern, before 45,000, Evanston's biggest football crowd of the year. Indiana's game little team trying to salvage something from a wretched season with an intersectional victory over Maryland, the team that almost beat Navy, before 12.000 at Bloomington. Purdue, joint holder of the Big Ten lead with Minnesota and Illinois, will battle Fordham at New York in a game which will bring together as rivals two teammates of Rocknes "Four Horsemen”—Noble Kizer. Purdue coach who blocked for Jimmy Crowley, Fordnam coach, on Notre Dame's 1924 team. Purdue will unveil to the east two of the Big Ten's greatest backs, Duane Purvis and Jimmy Carter, the touchdown twins Gophers Heavy Favorite lowa, buffeted from pillar to post since an early season victory over Northwestern, has a badly needed rest this week. Minnesota's juggernaut, rated as the nations No. 1 team, is heavily lavored to roll over Chicago and hoid its place at the head of the parade. The Gophers, however, may miss Glenn Seidel, foxy quarter back who is out of the game with an injured back. In figuring this game throw out Ohio State's 33 to 0 victory over Chicago. Jay Berwanger, key man of the Maroons, was on the sidelines. Chicago without Berwanger is like a motor without fuel. Ohio State, with its fast, flashy attack on the ground and in the air. seems to have too much for Michigan's disorganized forces, i Notre Dam# and Northw’estern will i put on a dog-fight, as usual.

Gordon Stierwalt, Wabash guard.

WHEN De Pauw and Wabash elevens clash tomorrow afternoon on Blackstock field at Greencastle in the forty-second renewal of their football rivalry, two Indianapolis boys will be mainstays in the two forward wall line-ups. Big 240-pound John Miller, veteran tackle, has been a standout all season on the Tiger team that extended last year's record of seven consecutive victories without ties to the place where it now numbers fourteen consecutive games.

Tom Marvin Returns to Local Mat Wars Tuesday “Bad Wolf’ Signs to Tackle League in Semi-Windup at Armory; Main Go Creates Stir. Matefimaker Llovd Carter has obtained the services of Tom 'Bad Wolf) Marvin, the well-known two-fisted Oklahoma Indian, for the semiwindup on the Hercules A. C. all-heavyweight wrestling card at the

armory Tuesday night. Marvin, who has not shown here or some time, will pit his skill, and probably his fists, against the popular Jack League, of Texas. League made a good showing against the veteran Charlie Strack at the Armory a few weeks ago. The Abe Coleman-Joe Savoldi main go attraction is creating an unusual amount of interest among Indianapolis wrestling fans, according to Carter. Tickets went on sale yesterday at Haag s ClayP°°l hotel drug store. Carter figures the Savoldi-Cole-man match as one of the best he has ever offered at the Army. It brings together two of the game's outstanding stars, both of w-hom rely chiefly upon their kicking ability to gain honors. Coleman, who is conceded to be the best Jewish heavyweight in the industry, labels his attack the -kangaroo kick.” while Savoldi calls his the ‘drop kick.” Neither Abe nor the -Jumper” has lost a match in Indianapolis. Coleman has been a consistent win-

Croons as He Crashes Marty McDonough, a great half back with the Colgate Red Raiders, entertains his mates frequently hy crooning in the dressing room, and even on the gnd at times when totin’ the ball down held. In addition to being a star footballer, McDonough plays swell baseball.

Across the line from Miller in a guard position for Wabash will be Gordon Stierwalt, likewise a veteran player who gained his high school experience at Shortridge under Alonzo Goldsberry, now* the assistant Wabash coach at Crawfordsville. Stierwalt has been a bear on defense all seasofa and has acquired the title among his teammates of "ball hawk.” In practically all games he has recovered a fumble or two as he crashed through the enemy lines to make tackles.

I ner here ever since his first ap--1 pearance more than a year ago. He is determined to keep his slate clear, while Savoldi, too. is determined to continue his winning ways. BEECH GROVE GRIDMEN TO PLAY HOME GAME After seven games away from home, the Beech Grove football team will play a home-coming tilt Sunday at 2:30 p. m. against the Midway Flyers. Both teams are members of the Em-Roe Senior Football League, w-hich completed its regular schedule last Sunday.

Merchants of Beech Grove and foliovers,of the team urged the manager to schedule at least one home game in the post season series. Coach P. D Merrill’s Flyer team is noted for its forward pass attack.

Indianapolis is expected to contribute in no small part ‘to the enthusiastic gathering, as Capital City alumni of both schools and their friends keep the traditional conflict on their annual "must'' lists. Dope in Tigers' Favor With an eye to the season records of the rivals, most fans will arrive expecting to view* a Tiger victory.
