\|ANAGER RED KILLEFER of the Indianapolis ball club * * ijiade so many changes in his team at the big minor league convention in Louisville that local diamond fans ha\e caught the baseball fever out of season and are quite willing to let the new campaign arrive ahead of time. Killefer has been one of the most active delegates in attendance at the Louisville pow-wow and he has set the pace for the other American Association clubs. He is set on his infield with Mickey lleath at first, Vincent Sherlock at second, Fred Bedore and Joe Lawrie at third, and Otto Bluege at short. is title local sandlot graduate who displayed rare skill on the few times he was used last season. Fred Bedore, while not always grand in the field, is especially gifted when it conies to batting in runs. Fred drove in 103 tallies last season, just thirteen short of the record posted by the mighty slugger, Vernon Washington. who has been sold to the White Sox. m • a m m npHE Indianapolis chieftain added the lollowlng new pastimcrs during A th** Lour vi’le convention: Pitchers Phil Gallivan and Myles Thomas, tstop B. iege and outfielder John Stoneham. ted wa obtained from the Tulsa <Okla.> club.

Chief Killefer met with Harry’s request and sold him late yesterday to the Coast League Senators. The Indianapolis pilot will continue the sear h for more new talent. He is after better pitching, more punch in the outfield, and also is expected to make one change in the catching stall. Joe Sprinz' legs are weakening.

Ni interest, more color, and that s what it takes to entice Mr. and Mrs. John Fan through the turnstiles. a m m mam r I'HK new infield lineup of the Indians stacks up as a snappy combinaJL non. Both Heath and Bluege. the new members, are experts on defer. Indianapolis has not possessed a high class shortstop since the j dav> of Rabbi! Warstlcr and the cash customers doubtless will be well] pleased when they see young Bluege go into action. He is highly-touted ; as an efficient double plav man. The double play "curse" has haunted the Indians several years, and | if the new Tube infield clicks up to expectations that also will make for better crowd entertainment. a m a a a a former Indianapolis players now boss clubs in the American JL Association. They arc Owme Bush at Minneapolis, Ken Penner at Louisville, P itch Zwtiling at Kansas City and Fred Haney at Toledo. Bu h al,o managed the Indians three years.

He was appointed Toledo chief Wednesday night. was the dandy third sacker fer Indianapolis in the pennant year of 1928. when the Indians captured the flag on the last day of the rare and then went on to clean up Rochester in the “little world series.” The old Hoosier atmosphere secminelv generates ambition to go higher in the profession.

Irish Short of Practice for Struggle With Army Notre Dame Lands in New York with Only Two Days' Drill: Throng to See Battle. 0 ; P n*< SpCCtfll NEW YORK. Nov. 23 —With only two .ull days of practice behind them the Irish of Notre Dame will face Army at Yankee stadium here tomorrow before 75.000 persons the largest crowd of the current season. R.un ft iced cancellation of Tuesday's scrimmage at Notre Dame after co.uh Elmer Layden had left his varsity off with an hour's light work on Monday.

Fearing injuries. Layden ordered no scrimmage for Wednesday and the squad left yesterday noon for this city. There will be a light, public workout at Rve. N. Y.. today. but Notre Dame will lace one of Army's Strongest teams sadly handicapped by lark of drill against Cadet om|nsive maneuvers. The Notre Dame warriors arrived here from South Bend this morning. Layden returns to New York a> a coath exactly ten years alter he x>red one of the two touchdowns which defeated Army. 13 to 7. while the Four Horsemen were winning all of their ten games and a national championship One of the lightest full backs in the history of the game. Lftyden hurled his 160 pounds through the Army line from the three-yard hne to score. Army is the favorite on its 1934 record, vhich includes seven victories in eight starts, against Notre Dame's mark of four victories in seven starts The Irish lost to Texas. Put. and Navy, while winning from Carnegie Tech. Purdue. Wisconsin and N rthwestem The Cad > lost only to Illinois. 7 to 0. but completely outc a.--ed the mini— sc- p. at the goal line. Army should be in better physica. trim for the game, having played a breather with The Citadel last Saturday while Notre Dame was extended to the full route before punching over two fourth quarter touchdowns for a 20-to-7 victory over Northwestern. The victory last Saturday added to Notre Dame confidence, for it marked the only time the Irish have

Butler, De Pauw and Wabash Each Land Two * # Gridmen on Times' All-State Secondary Team

O’Connor and Stewart Are Bulldog Players Named on First Eleven. BY DICK MILLER The 1934 football season is a matter of history for Indiana secondary colleges, with exc„..,on u two teams. Hanover has two remaining opponents, Georgetown (Ky.) tomorrow' and Illinois Wesleyan Thanksgiving day while Rose Poly takes on James Millikin at Decatur. 111., on the latter date After playing seven games withou’ being defeated this fall, De Pauw was nipped by Wabash in the season finale, 7-6. and instead of winding up with a clear claim to the state title, took a bow to Butler, the new champs. The defeat also ended a fourteen-game winning streak for the Tigers. There were many who thought Valparaiso, which also had gone undefeated and untied by Hoosier opponents this fall, would take Butler last Saturday and share the title with De Pauw. The dope was altered considerably by the Bulldogs, who upset Valpo. 12-7, and took the ( gonfalon. Butler lost an out-of-state skirmish with Washington of St. Louis after leading up until the last ten minutes. The Bulldogs played a scoreless tie with Wabash, which lost its season opener to Hanover. The Panthers in turn were defeated by De Pauw, relegating them to second place with Wabash, De Pauw, Hanover and Valparaiso. Aside from final records, there was little to choose between the teams. There was about as fine a lot of ball carriers in the secondary lineups this fall as has been seen in Indiana in many a day. if ever. There were classy ends, shifty

The first team is composed ofi O'Connor, Butler; Joyce, Wabash; Theby, Evansville; Bielauskas, Valparaiso; Stierwalt, Wabash; Isselhardt, Franklin; Kay, De Pauw; Hay Hanover; Fribley, De Pauw; Smatlak, Valparaiso, and Stewart, Butler. Eddie O'Connor, end, was the flash at Butler ail fall, a shade better offensive player than his teammate, Batts, and a much better pass defense man. Kay. also an end, likewise shaded his teammate, Hickman, at De Pauw. Hammond of Hanover. Miklozek of Indiana State, Schmidtke of Valparaiso, Tait of Rose Poly and Henry of Ball State all were carefully considered. Joyce Best Tackle In our opinion Joyce of Wabash was the best secondary tackle. Collapse of the Franklin team that appeared plenty good before the season opened probably robbed Isselhardt of that rating. There was an abundance of average tackles, but few who attracted constant attention. Wilson of Ball State looked plenty good at times. At guard it was a different story, with Theby of Evansville and Stierwalt of Wabash battling down the stretch for the nod. Both, in our opinion, could make about any football team Reinert of Wabash was good. too. Schroeder of De Pauw, Stines of Hanover. Bunnell of Butler and Wyse and McCleary of y T a" ,n Her were fair caliber. Likewise there were a number of ,ne centers B elauskas of Valparaiso and Mueller of Wabash were somewhat of a tossuo pair, with Hutcheson of Ball State consistent and Guenther of Hanover red-hot at times. Bell. Central Normal, had fine stuff, although his team was hopelessly outclassed ■i times. No doubt fans have more opinions on secondary backs in the state than on any other players.

Throughout the season, every minute of every g&me. the fcuir named on the first team were the spark plugs of their clubs, always consistent and capable performers at all departments of the game. Bob Fribley, because of his size, no doubt would be welcomed at either of the Hoosier Big Three schools. Jerry Hay of Hanover, clever and football-wise, and Smatiak and Stewart, because they were work horses, fine blockers and defensive men, set the call. Bush of

Indiana State, great individual performer in games against Rose Poly, Valparaiso and Butler, faltered against other opponents and was in no way the fine player he was a year ago.

Pierce were the chief threats to the first four and there are many at De Pauw who think Pierce just as good as Fribley. Wulle of Butlei and Karr ol Valparaiso flashed brilliance several times.

Cardinal Hurling Ace Makes Coming Pay Demand Known While at Louisville Session Minor League Meeting Enters Last Day With Several Important Deals Still Hanging Fire; Cubs Want Fred Frankhouse, May Sell Cuyler. BY GEORGE KIKKSEY United I’rcss Stall Corresoondcnt LOUISVILLE, Kv„ Nov. 23.—Today's baseball news on the last day of the thirty-third annual convention of the National Association of Professional Leagues was: Dizzy Dean wants §25,000 for pitching for the Cardinals next season. The Chicago Cubs want Fred Frankhouse, Boston Braves pitcher. The New York Giants want Kiki Cuyler, Cub outfielder, or Wally Berger, Braves outfielder. - 1 -

The Boston Red Sox want Oscar Mellilo, St. Louis Browns’ second baseman. Ail may get what they want. Dean, who came here to sign a $15,000 contract for the use of his name in an advertising campaign, announced,his price for next season was $25,000, a difference of SIO,OOO from what the Cards have offered him. Dean was a $7,500 man last year. The Cubs have made several propositions to the Braves for Frankhouse, who won seventeen games and lost nine last season, but haven’t made their offer alluring enough to get the Boston star. Manager Charlie Grimm's latest offer to the Braves was third baseman Stanley Hack, catcher Babe Phelps, pitcher Charlie Root and cash for Frankhouse. *

Three-Cornered Deal Seen A three-cornered deal between the Braves, Giants and Cubs may develop, in which Cuyler goes to the Giants, Frankhouse to the Cubs, and the Braves get several players. The Red Sox are believed to have virtually completed the deal with the Browns for Mellilo. They also may get first baseman Irving Burns. The Cubs’ rebuilding program was the main talk among major league baseball men today as they prepared to go home. The Cubs' acquisition of Larry French, ranked as the second best southpaw in the league, and infielder Freddy Lindstrom from Pittsburgh in exchange for pitchers Guy Bush, Jim Weaver end outfielder Babe Herman, was considered helpful to both clubs, but especially advantageous to the Cubs. French is the first great southpaw the Cubs have had since the days of Jim Vaughn fifteen years ago. Grimm will play Lindstrom at third base, a position he held down for nine years with the Giants before going to Pittsburgh, 1935 Cub Lineup Named Since the Cubs started cleaning house and rebuilding their thudpjace club they have dls P° scd ° f eight players-Pat Malone, Bud Tinning and Dick Ward to the Cardinals; Weaver, Bush and Herman to the Pirates, and Riggs Stephenson and Bob O’Farrell, released outright. The Cubs’ probable 1935 first string lineup, Grimm revealed today, is: Left field. Frank Demaree, Los Angeles, Pacific Coast League batting champion, center neia, George Stainback; right field, Chuck Klein; first base, Grimm; second base. Billy Herman; third base, Lindstrom; shortstop. Billy Jurges; catchers, Hartnett and Jimmy O Dea from Columbus; pitchers, Warneke, Lee, French and Tex Carleton from the Cardinals. Grimm wants one more starting pitcher and will have his club complete. Cincinnati has acquired pitcher Danny McFayden from the New | York Yankees, who waived him out ! of the American League and sold him to the Reds. | Three major league players have been sent to the minors: First baseI man Eddie Morgan to Rochester by the Red Sox; pitcher, Ed Wells, 1 southpaw, to Hollywood by the

Browns; pitchei Herman Bell to Kansas City by the Giants. The “little world senes” between the pennant winners of the American Association and the International League has been abandoned and the International circuit will engage in a playoff among its first four clubs after a 154-game schedule has been played. The winner of the playoff will get and the runner-up $2,500, plus all salaries. The pennant winner at the close of the regular season will get $2,500 plus 5 per cent of the gross receipts of the playoff. Da>ton, 0., was awarded the 1935 convention, which will be held the third week in November. The National Association rejected an amendment to change the tenmile territorial rights of a club, to permit another club within that area but in another state to obtain a franchise in a different league. The Chicago White Sox learned unofficially that pitcher Georgo Earnshaw is dissatisfied with the contract offered him and plans to retire from baseball. The Sox have offered him $0,500 with a bonus clause. 1 PLAINFIELD CAGERS WIN B]/ Time* Sprrinl PLAINFIELD.
