BEFORE LANDIS

HENRICH CASE n

WHITE SOX MAKE CUBS SUFFER

OFF ICIALS of the Cleveland, Milwaukee and New Orleans baseball clubs are to meet with Commissioner Landis in the Cresent City Thursday to discuss the status of Tommy Henrich, Milwaukee outfielder... The lad has been shunted around among Cleveland affiliates and believes he is entitled to free agency ., . . Bill Killefer, brother of Wade, Indianapolis manager, expects to go places with his Sacramento Coast League club this season . .. Bill was the catching end of that old famous battery of Alexander and Killefer . . . Including last spring, last fall and this spring, Cubs and White Sox have met nine times, with the Hose making a clean sweep . .. And the Bruins have ‘not been ahead at the end of any inning over that long stretch . . . Which is rubbing it in.

OE McCARTHY lays claim to the greatest infield combination in the 35 years’ history of the New York Yankees . . . There may be some question about individuals, but the lineup of Gehrig, Lazzeri, Crosetti and Rolfe looks like the tops...

Billy Miske Jr., of St. Paul, 20 vears old and weighing 176, has turned pro and is boxing under the management of Eddie Long, veteran Chicago pilot . . . Billy's father, who died several

NEW figure in catching harness is appearing behind the bat occasionally during the Brooklvn exhibition games. . . He is Randy Moore, erstwhile outfielder, who broke his leg last season. . . Manager Grimes is experimenting. . . Pitcher Van Lingle Mungo will have drawn $59,500 from the Dodgers by the end of the 1937 season... His annual salary, which started at $6500 in 1932, moved up to $7500, $9000, $10,000, $11,000 and is $15,000 this year. . . Tony Rensa has landed the thirdstring catching assignment with the White Sox. . . He is 33 and the Sox are the fourth big league club and the 10th league team he has played with. . . He used to backstop for Milwaukee and figured in a fist fight with Jim Turner of Indianapolis in a night game at Perry Stadium a few years ago. n bg u EW York is a busy golf center, one of the most active in the world, but there isn't a links star in the Metropolitan district worthy of a scratch rating. .. The Metropolitan Golf Association published its 1937 handicap list the other day and four are rated at “one”. . . George T. Dunlap Jr, is the last golfer in that district to have enjoyed the ranking of “0” handicap after he won the U. S. Amateur title in 1933. . Jack Polansky. New York citizen whose hobby is billiards, is the angel for that world's championship pocket cue tourney which opened last night. . . It cost. him $8000, but if Polansky is lucky he will get his money back at the gate, .. He said, ‘Now for the first time I will see a billiard match without paying to get in, even though I have to support the whole tournament.” Jimmy Caras is defending champion and Polansky paid him $500 bonus.

Other members are Roy Haislup, Don McNew, Bert Bruder and Paul Striebeck. Striebeck was drafted to replace Eddie Hornberger, regular member of the team, who is unable to make the trip. Neil King, fourth vice president of the A. B. C. is captain of the Fen-

York since Sunday making prepara- | tions for the annual meeting of the Congress on Friday afternoon. Paul | Kramer, Manuel Schonecker, Jimmie Hurt Sr. and Earl Goodhue will form the balance of the Restaurant team's lineup. The two aggregations are to leave here tomorrow, being scheduled to go into action in the team events Friday night and in the minor events Saturday.

M'MILLIN SIGNED TO 10-YEAR CONTRACT

S atisfaction Is Expressed By Clevenger

Statements by Alumni and Coach Indicate Harmony In Agreement.

Indiana University today was celebrating a football “safety play” in which the university had signed | Alvin Nugent (Bo) McMillin, to a | 10-year contract as head football coach. | Indiana officials said that the | contract assured the school of top- | notch gridiron representation for | the next decade. The new contract, signed almost a month ago, replaced a five-year engagement which Mr. McMillin signed late in 1934. The old contract still had three years to run. No salary consideration was mentioned in the announcement which came from the office of President William Lowe Bryan at the university in Bloomington today. Concerning the new agreement, Zora G. Clevenger, director of athletics at Indiana, made the following statement: “We are happy to conclude these [arrangements with Mr. McMillin, I | feel it will not only be good for him [but also for Indiana University. | This contract guarantees the university a fine, long-time program. |T have every confidence that Bo |can carry out such a program with great success,

Tvrned Out Strong Teams

| “During the time he has been | With us he has proved that he can | turn out strong teams--teams that | will be strong contenders in the | highest class of competition. “All of us in the Department of Physical Education for Men look | forward to a harmonious and suc- | cessful 10-year football regime unha Bo's direction and guidance.”

Regarding his new agreement with | Indiana, Coach McMillin said: “T appreciate very much | confidence the authorities of In- | diana University have in'me. 1 will try to prove that they are not mak- | ing a mistake in extending me this | contract. A long-time program, 1 believe, will be to the best interest of Indiana football. “I am sold on Indiana University, | the state of Indiana and the alumni — | of the school, I have been around | a lot but I have never encountered | more loyal alumni, | “Indiana is an outstanding institution and I am thoroughly convinced it is deserving of the best we can give it. I cannot say too much about the harmony and co-opera- | tion it has been my pleasure to receive in the athletic department.

Pays Tribute to Clevenger

the

“I want to pay tribute to Zz. G. Clevenger, Athletic Director, Who | | has helped me in every way possible. x could ask no more than to work | | under such a man. Coach McMillin has put Indiana | | football into the first division of the | | Big Ten for the first time in 25 years during the last two seasons. | During his first season, in 1934. McMillin’s Indiana team won three. lost. three and tied two games. upset of the season was the Indi-| ana defeat of Purdue. The following season McMillin | coached a team which tied Purdue for runnerup honors in the Big Ten and last year Indiana came within 12 points of having an undefeated season. Although prohibited by Western Conference rules from using his famous “five-man backfield” offensive, McMillin has been able to show steady improvement in his teams at Indiana with a modified system. A graduate of Centre College, Danville, Ky., and member of that school’s famous “Praying Colonels” squad of a decade ago, McMillin coached football at Centenary, Shreveport, La. three years, then spent six years at the Kansas State Agricultural College before coming tc Indiana.

Received With Enthusiasm

The signing of the new contract was received with enthusiasm by a. and those prominent in Indiana University athletic circles liv‘ing in Indianapolis. Leroy Sanders, president of the I-
