By Eddie Ash THEY’RE SELLING INDIANS AGAIN • am AND MANY OTHER BALL CLUBS

npJIE story has been revived about the prospective sale of the Indianapolis baseball team, but it’s difficult to get a true line on what’s what. During the American Association campaign of 1934—0 r two baseball seasons ago—The Times used an exclusive story on the fact that Norman A. Perry, Tribe president, desired to step aside from active service. It was said at the time that Perry hoped to induce Manager Wade Killefer to take over the franchise and operate the entire business, but Killefer declined, saying he was satisfied to stay on as field boss and business manager. Baseball managers, if they have been in the game any length of time, are wary of stepping up to the position of club owner. Ihey know too much about player salaries—on the first and fifteenth—cost of travel, park upkeep, spring training and other “overhead.” It's an expensive business and a long gamble, owing to the fact that with eight clubs in a league it s necessary to be in front or close up to attract the customers. a b m bub INDIANAPOLIS is no exception. It's just one ball club in the American Association, a league which has been going along on thin ice for several years. Louisville, Toledo and St. Paul staggered through last summer, but it cost a-plenty. Kansas City had a hard time getting over the hump until the 1935 sesaon, and Milwaukee and Columbus failed to live up to their old standard as “good'’ baseball towns. Minneapolis and Indianapolis drew well at home, with the exception that Indianapolis fell down on Sunday attendance, but both clubs were hit hard on visits to Louisville, Toledo and St. Paul. “ * " BUB /~\WNIE BUSH, the Indianapolis East Sider who piloted the Minneapolis team to the 1935 A. A. pennant, said he had been approached several weeks ago by persons representing the Indianapolis club and who sounded him out on a proposition to get in on a syndicate to buy the Iribe franchise. However, Bush said that he is well satisfied at Minneapolis and that it would take a. lot to move him in spite of the fact that he has a natural preference to manage the club of his home city, or to enter into a part ownership if not too much capital was required. Bush piloted the Hoosiers in 1924, ’25 and ’26 and finished second in the race each year. " u n bub TT is understood the proposition placed before Bush and Frank E. McKinney, president of the Fidelity Trust Cos., and county treasurerelect, came from the ball club and an agent, and was not advanced by *7 en V I J*' as called into a conference,” Bush stated, “and learned that the franchise was for sale at a certain price. I indicated a mild interfu ater returned to Minneapolis and completed arrangements for the 1936 season there. That’s the last I heard of it.” The supposition is that a real estate firm tried to promote the deal In the event Perry ever sells, the belief is that he will let go of the franchise and lease Perry Stadium on a long-term basis. His attitude always has been that everything he owns is for sale if offers come up to his appraisement. H . BUB BUB "DASEBALL is an expensive hobby and several big league teams, as well zf , a . s . : sev T ral Am : rican Association clubs, are crying for purchasers. Night baseball saved the A. A. during the low point of the depression and it, was pioneered by Indianapolis, but even night ball failed to pay in Louisville and Toledo this year.

BY DICK MILLER The local high school football schedule today, calling for games bet\#en Technical and Shoitridge in Butler Bowl and Manual and Washington at Delavan Smith Field, lowers the curtain on Indianapolis high school football for the season with the exception of Crispus Attucks, which has one more game on Thanksgiving Day. Shortridge and Tech played thiij afternoon with the Indianapolis public high school championship at stake, also the permanent possession of the school trophy for a five-time winner. Each has won the cup tour times since 1920. A five-time winner means “for keeps.”

Cathedral is not included in the public high series, and the Irish already have ended their campaign undefeated in local competition and with victories over Technical, Manual, Washington and a scoreless tie with Shortridge. Both Washington and Manual have dropped from the running for the city title, but the rivalry between the two teams makes their game today attractive to all their supporters. Many Players Shine Several players on each of the teams have attained unusual heights. With the lowering of the curtain on the season, we raise the curtain on The Indianapolis Times 1935 ailcity elevens. They include players from all local schools, except Cnspus Attucks, Park School and Southrort. The last named is a county school, and sipce Attucks and Park did not play any other city elevens, no comparisons could be gained on the relative merits of the players, although Attucks has some outstanding performers. Ends were outstanding on the local elevens this fall and every one of the eight players mentioned on The Times all-city teams has his individual admirers who will support or dispute The Times’ ratings. The same goes for at least five of the tackles in the city this fall, a close choice between any of them. Powell Fine Blocker Waddle of Cathedral, Powell of Tech, and Wey of Shortridge, are about equal, Wey being particularly valuable to his team as a placekicker after touchdown, but Powell, by his blocking, and Waddle, by his great defensive work, have been most valuable to their teams in piling up fine records. Martin of Shortridge is pretty well agreed upon as the best pivot man in Indianapolis by coaches, officials and others. Second choice is a close decision between Staley of Tech and Billman of Cathedral, with the Tech man packing the more power. Asa field general Bob Connor of Cathedral was a standout time and again for the Irish. Snyder was a big standout at Tech and Brown was the big gun in the Shortridge attack. Golay time and again placed Cathedral into the point column with his fine running. Injuries Handicap Chilcote Broad Ripple had a group of boys who showed promise. Orville Chilcote, a back field lad, was injured jrst before he had his chance to show his wares against Manual and Shortridge and there are many who feel that he could have earned himself a first team berth. Rudd. Broad Ripple, and Kelly. Broad Ripple, also were fine performers and deserve high ratings. Lingeman, in the back field, has-

great possibilities at Shortridge judging from his performances this season. Stoshitch of Tech was another good back and Corriden of Cathedral was a flash at times. All youthful warriors tried hard to bring glory to their seams and schools, and all are entitled to cheers. Roberts and Lefferts Head Amateur Card Merle Roberts, South Side Turner amateur welterweight boxer, and Lefty Lefferts, Oliver A.

the 20-year-old Texas Negro becomes a master of gridiron footwork. This is what he likes best to do. Often he seems cornered by tacklers, but as he swings along, he stops dead-still, gives a flirt of his hips, and a few mincing steps or a quick flurry of sideslipping hops, ana is off stride in a different direction.

A capacity home-coming crowd is expected to turn out for the fortyseventh renewal of the oldest football rivalry in the state. Comparative scores favor the Little Giants to overtake the Tigers on the “last lap” of their race for run-ner-up honors in the state college conference. The Scarlet defeated Manchester, a team which held De Pauw to a 7-7 tie. Wabash trounced Earlham. 51 to 0, while the Tigers’ margin over the Quakers was 18 to 0.
