By Eddie Ash HOOSIERS BENEFIT AT POWWOW a a a EARLY TRIBE DEALS LOOK GOOD

'T'HK bipfgest baseball convention on record played its final inning in Dayton, 0., today and the magnates, managers, players and others returned to their homes convinced that the national pastime will show another box office pickup next season in the majority of league cities. Delegates and visitors occupied three hotels at Dayton and the lobby of the headquarters hotel was packed from morning until midnight. The convention proper was a scheduled three-day affair, hid many baseball men were so eager to get down to business that early arrivals made it a five-day pow-wow and as a result the Aviator City enjoyed a mild boom. B O B B B B MANAGER WADE KILLEFER of the Indianapolis club succeeded in jumping off to a fine start on the organization of his 1936 team and American Association observers admitted that the Hoosiers look the part of pennant contenders on paper. Owner Norman A Perry and Road Secretary Dale Miller returned to Indianapolis last nieht, but Chief Killefer remained in Dayton to work on a couple of more deals. He will be in Indianapolis over the week-end, however. The Tribe pilot, has lines out for another righthanded hitting outfieldpr and a second baseman. He is going on the theory that the fans desire to see new faces and already has landed four in Pitcher Bud Tinning, Outfielder Fred Berger, Catcher Jimmy Crandall and Third Baseman Bob Faucett.

17 n XT 19 Exhibitions Scheduled pitchers and catchers will report at the Wauchula (Fla.) spring training camp on March 8 and the infieiders and outfielders on March 15. Road Secretary Miller has lined up 19 exhibition games, all to be played in the South, an arrangement that assures the players will come up to the start of the' 1936 championship race in sound condition. Other games are to be added, according to Miller. Last spring the Hoosiers were handicapped bv rain and floods in Kentucky, got little practice and saw action only in five exhibition tilts before the regular season opened. The 1936 spring dates follow: March 21—St. Paul at Arcadia, Fla. March 22—St. Paul at Wauchula, Fla. March 23 —Columbus at Wauchula. March 24—Albany at Wauchula. March 26—House of David at Wauchula. March 27—Detroit at Wauchula, (tentative.) March 28—Columbus at Avon Fark, Fla. March 29—Toronto at Haines City, Fla. March 30— St. Paul at Wauchula. March 31—Albany at Winter Garden, Fla. April I—Toronto at Wauchula. April 2—Milwaukee at I ukc W ales, Fla. April 3— Milwaukee at Wauchula. April 4—St. Paul at Wauchula. April s—St. Paul at Arcadia, Fla. April I!—Break camp. April 7—Macon at Macon, Ga. April B—Chattanooga at Chattanooga, Tenn. April 11—Memphis at Memphis, Tenn. April 12—Memphis at Memphis. Baa Veteran Proxy Retired THOMAS J. HICKEY, president of the American Association, a veteran of many political scraps, finally lost the decision and will be replaced on Dec. 10 when the league meets in Chicago to elect officers. He agreed to retire on a pension of S2OO a month after five club owners held a secret session yesterday and convinced him it was useless to continue the fight. He will serve as chairman of the board of directors. It took some time for newspaper men to eatrh up with news of the huddle owing to the fact all magnates present had agreed to withhold the official announcement until Dec. 10. By mid-day, however. Hie scribes had enough information collected to break down the owners, who by that time wore lashing each other for springing the "leak." B B B McEvoy Likely Successor TT is said L. C. McEvoy, vice presI ident of the St. Louis Browns, is the leading candidate to succeed Hickey as A. A. chieftain. Others,

with less support, are: Bob French, Toledo sports writer, and Ed Shave, St. Paul scribe. Hickey organized the A. A. in the winter of 1901 and it opened its first campaign in 1902. The league has had four presidents, Hickey, Ed Grillo, Joe O'Brien and Tom Chivington. Hickey was moved out of office after the 1903 season, but returned to the position in 1917 and has been there since. Age has worked against Hickey in the last few years and that is the only reason advanced for his removal. The wear and tear of traveling the circuit slowed him down. Whether or not the club owners used good judgment remains to be seen, however. Hickey's knowledge of baseball, integrity and political cunning will be hard to match. n n tt The Prosperity Bund Wagon THfe Dayton convention was a minor league affair, officially, but there were many big league angles. All major managers except one were on hand. Joe Cronin was the absentee, but his Boston Red Sox were represented by Eddie Collins, general manager. Even Rogers Hornsby and Joe McCarthy, always described as enemies, joined in the handshaking and lobby visiting. Sports goods manufacturers jumped on the prosperity bandwagon and announced that the sale of baseball goods increased more than 50 per cent in 1935 and that their factories, on the advice of salesmen, were prepared to step up production in a big way this winter. tt tt a Week-End Grid Selections Indiana, 10; Purdue, 7.

First Baseman McQuinn Goes to Cincinnati Reds Buy Newark Star at Dayton: Pirates, Phils Make Deals. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent DAYTON, 0., Nov. 22.—The Cincinnati Reds today bought First Baseman George McQuinn from the Newark International League club and Catcher Bill Raimondi from the Oakland Pacific Coast League team. The Reds also signed Outfielder Hub Walker, who was with the Toledo American Association club last year and given permission to make a deal for himself. Hank Severied, veteran catchermanager who was with San Antonio last season, has signed with the Reds and will act as playermanager of one of their farms. Montreal Wins Convention The 1936 convention of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues was awarded to Montreal, Canada, here today. Montreal was the site of the 1930 meeting. Elmer Yoter, formerly of the Indianapolis Club, was signed as manager of Scranton in the New YorkPennsylvania League, and anounced the trade of Second Baseman Arthur Hoarde for Pitcher Francis Nelson of Dallas. Hoarde refused to report to Scranton last season. The Pittsburgh Pirates gave Catcher Earl Grace and Pitcher Claude Passeau, last year with the Dcs Moines Western League club, to the Phillies for Catcher A1 Todd. Manager Pie Traynor of the Pirates thinks that if he can put over another deal for a starting pitener he’ll have a serious pennant contender on his hands. The man he is said to have his eye on is Si Johnson of the Cincinnati Reds. Ralph Birkhofer, Pirate southpaw, may figure in any other deals Pittsburgh makes. Mack Offers Stars Back to the rumors, the destruction of the Philadelphia Athletics appeared more certain, with at least three clubs likely to figure in the division of Connie Mack's stars for badly needed cash. One person’s guess is as good as another, but it is generally believed Outfielder Roger Cramer and Shortstop Eric McNair will land with the Red Sox; Third Baseman Frank Higgins with the Yankees; First Baseman Jimmy Fcxx with the White Sox. Pitcher Johnny Marcum may land with any one of the three clubs. Some insist part of these deals already have been completed. The Chicago Cubs are making strong efforts to land another pitcher and are dangling any one of three otYfielders, Freddie Lindstrom, Tuci, Stainback or Chuck Klein, as bait. In other player deals the White Sox have sent Infielder Marty Hopkins and Pitcher Carl Fisher, who hurled a one-hit game against Washington last season, to the Kansas City American Association Club. They also have traded Pitcher Lee Stine to Cincinnati for Infielder Joe Morrisey, who is ticketed to be sold later to the Giants. Detroit has sent Pitcher Clyde Hatter to Milwaukee on option.

Soldiers Host to Capital Loop Foe Capital City League football teams are oiling their attacks for important games on schedule Sunday. Two intra-loop contests feature the program, with Ft. Harrison's Soldiers facing possible loss of their shaic ir. the circuit lead when the Yugaslavs invade the Post Field. A victory by the invaders would push the Soldiers into second place behind the Leon Tailors, who do not meet a league foe, but play at Cincinnati. The Riverside Olympics are slight favorites over P. R. Mallory at Riverside. Pendleton will be host to an All-Star eleven from Indianapolis.

Freeman Directs Tech Practice Tilt With several of the football plav- ! ers advanced to the point of getting | the “feel” of the hardwood floor | after joining the team last Monday, | Coach Bayne Freeman sent his Technical squad through a long ; scrimmage and regular practice ! game today. The East Side mentor used Jack Reedy. Amos Childers, Emmett McCleerey. Clifford Reed and Don Hanley as his varsity, but the reserves in their practice sessions have shown enough ability to cause changes at any time. Peterman Speeds Blue Practice Pace With the first game of the season less than a week away. Coach Kenneth Peterman is fast whipping the Shortridge High School basketball team into shape. The squad will be formed around the four returning lettermen. Jack Browr. and Bud Mueller, forwards, and Jack Daw- | son and Kelsey McDaniel, guards. Max Bartley, center, and Bob Garrett, forward, are two other j members of last season's squad. I The first encounter of the season will take the Blue Devils to Southport. where they will meet the | Cardinals next Wednesday night. CHANGE IN LINEUP ! By United Prets ANN ARBOR. Mich., Nov. 22. Michigan lineup changes in practice I yesterday put Steve Remias at full back, Bob Campbell at left half. Joe Rinaldi at center and Jesse Gardner at right guard. They may start against Ohio State here to--1 morrow.

Dartmouth May Receive Rose Bid If Victorious School Heads Would Consider Offer, but Powerful Princeton Stands in Path. BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 22. —Dartmouth’s Green Indians, standing on the threshold of their first perfect season since 1925, encounter undefeated Princeton tomorrow in the most significant clash of the current Eastern campaign. The stakes will be high—greater than in any previous battle between these members of the traditional Ivy league A crowd of 60.000 —one of the largest in Princeton's history—will jam Palmer Stadium to witness the battle between two of the East’s three undefeated, untied elevens. ,

The mythical Eastern championship will become the property of the winner. If it goes to Dartmouth, the Indians will be strong favorites for an Eastern bid to the Pasadena Rose Bowl game. Princeton turned down an invitation in 1933 and undoubtedly will do so this year if it finishes with a perfect record. During recent weeks Dartmouth had been counted out of the Pasadena picture because of semi-offi-cial reports that it would refuse an invitation even if a flawless season was turned in. But the situation was clarified this week by official explanation that if and when a Rose Bowl bid is received Dartmouth’s athletic council of nine members will decide the acceptance question. Council Apparently in Favor A large portion of the alumni and a majority of the council members are understood to favor the trip. Princeton, which has lost only one game in three seasons, ruled a 7 J/ 2-to-5 favorite to continue its reign over Dartmouth. In 15 games since 1897, the Tigers won 11, Dartmouth three and one ended in a tie. The team that wins should have easy sailing next week in its final game of the season. Princeton plays Yale, the eleven which upset it last year, and Dartmouth encounters much-beaten Columbia. Tomorrow's battle will be the second largest betting contest of the season, running only behind the Notre Dame-Ohio State brawl in the amount of money wagered. Dartmouth Leading Scorer Dartmouth rolled up 289 points In eight games to become the nation’s high scorer. Princeton garnered 192 in seven contests. Against Cornell, Princeton triumphed 54-0 and Dartmouth, 41-6. The teams appear to be evenly matched, physically. The Princeton back field is rated the superiorheavier and faster. Dartmouth has an excellent line, slightly better than Princeton’s.

money in baseball, but when the Sox handed him a 1936 contract the other day he tore it up. He was offered $12,500, but considers himself worth $25,000. However, A1 failed to live up to his usual batting prowess last season and fell below the .300 mark. Simmons was at his best when he worked under Connie Mack at Philadelphia.

Coach Jones Cuts West Side Squad Nineteen players today survived the second cut in the Washington High School basketball squad after Coach Rolland Jones “lowered the ax” before beginning final preparation for the opening game with Mooresville on Dec. 6. Several athletes of the football squad who joined the hardwood pastimers last Monday were among those retained today, to give them further opportunity to sharpen their basket eyes.

Indiana Tunes j New Offense for Big Game Two Sophs May Start in Back Field; Student Enthusiasm High. Timet Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 22 - Steady shifting of Indiana University back field, candidates during the last few days of preparation for the annual Purdue tussle on Memorial Stadium gridiron here tomorrow apparently has brought decision from Coach A. N. tBo) McMillin to use Veterans Vernon Huffman and Wendell W'alker, and Harry Cherry and William Anderson, a pair of sophomores, in the starting lineup. Although Corbett Davis, ballcarrying ace of the Crimson back field, again took a long workout at the full back post yesterday, the fact he has a badly bruised shoulder makes the length of his playing time in the game uncertain and has prompted McMillin to shift Walker into the full back post. Kelso’s Toe Is Threat Davis likely will be held in readiness to go in and attempt to ram the ball over when a close scoring opportunity appears. Failure on three such tries then undoubtedly will see Reed Kelso attempting to boot a field goal with his evidently recovered kicking leg that has been bothering him all fall. The selection of Cherry and Anderson in the opening lineup is not exactly a surprise. Cherry was a star Indianapolis prep school ball carrier and after most of the season on the bench, receiving instructions after every play situation as it arose, the Capital City youngster was

Anderson, who hails from Marion, is a similar example. Coach McMillin, after a week cf experimenting, has decided Purdue is a two-to-one better chance to win tomorrow, principally because of Indiana's injuries and his inability to have sufficient time to smooth an offense.

Purdue Keys Gridmen With Spirited Rally Boilermakers Taper Off in Light Drill Following Pep Session. Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Nov. 22 Coach Noble Kizer sent the Boilermaker squad through its last drill of the season on Stuart field today as he completed attack and defense assignments for the thirty-eighth all-important rivalry tilt with Indiana University tomorrow at Bloomington. Following the last hard workout of the week yesterday in preparation for the attempt to regain the Old Oaken Bucket trophy, Coach Noble Kizer took the squad into the Armory for a huge pep session. It was a campus football farewell to 12 seniors who will wear Boilermaker moleskins for the last time tomorrow. Coach Kizer and other members of the coaching staff made short talks. The head mentor declared that Purdue is physically in good shape and he urged his men to continue the improvement shown last week when they trounced lowa. The rousing boost for the team came, however, from George Ade, Purdue alumnus, humorist and real grid fan, who is wintering at his home in Miami Beach, Fla. He telegraphed: "All Saturday afternoon I will be sitting under the palm trees pulling my daylights out for Purdue. After last Saturday’s uprising the team can beat anything in sight. Go to it, boys, more power to vou. Bring home the bacon and the Old Oaken Bucket."
