BABE GANZEL NAMED PILOT OF SAINTS

Former Miller

Replaces Todt.

‘New A. A. Manager Started

With Evansville in the Three-l League.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 16—Babe Ganzel, former Louisville and Minneapolis third baseman, will return to the American Association next

season in the role of St. Paul manager. In a surprise announcement today, Business Manager Lou MecKenna revealed he had signed Ganzel to succeed Phil Todt,' who took over the managerial reins after

season. The choice was a surprise inasmuch as the Saints were expected to obtain a “name” manager Irom the big leagues but in Ganzel the Saints’ owners believe they have a pilot more suited to their needs. The new skipper has a record of steady improvement in his brief whirl as director of ball clubs. Since concluding his active playing years with the Millers, he managed Jacksonville of the Sally League in 1936 and Selma, Ala. of the Southeastern League in 37. He finished one- | two each year, losing out in the playoff finals. In each league he was chosen manager of the all-star team. McKenna particularly was impressed with his record for handling | pitchers. Last season at Selma he | had three rookies who led the league | in earned run averages. Babe's full name is Foster Pere Ganzel. He was born at Malden, Mass, May 22, 1903, started professiona] baseball at Evansville in the Three I League in 1922 and advanced through -Birmingham to Louisville in 1928. He played on Al Sothoron’s pen-nant-winning Louisville club of 1930 and in 1932 was sold to Minneapolis. He continued Yo play there through 1935 before embarking on a managerial course. Ganezel is eighth in the succession of pilots who have held sway here since Lefty Leifield won the last pennant in 1931. As yet no announcement has been made concerning Phil Tedt but he is expected to receive his outright release and be free to sell his services as a reward for outstanding work at first base at St. Paul since 1932.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK. Nov. 16.—Frank Frisch isn't going to play baseball | any more. This isn't startling news. The only significance it has besides marking the formal retirement of

lene of the great players of the era {is that the scrappy manager of the | [St. Louis Cardinals admits it him-

self. This is always a tough decision for

a veteran ball player or a veteran prize fighter to make. They are usually the last to realize they are through. The ball player always has ‘one more season” EK left in him. And ; te the prize fighter Joe Williams always has “one more good fight” in his militant soul. Frisch will be 40 next September. He has been playing major league pall uninterruptedly since 1919. That was the year he came on a straight line from the Fordham campus to the New York Giants. He made the big show without any preiiminary stopovers. He has outlasted a whole generation of ball players. There is nobody playing in the National League who was active when he broke in. It's time he quit. “And don’t I know it,” admitted the well set up little fellow with the slightly twisted beezer.

I was positively through.” In the beginning Frisch was one of John MeGraw's favorites. He was bound to be. Frisch was all fire, a bristling, aggressive player. McGraw made Frisch captain of the Giants, made him his chief understudy, spent much time with him off the field, indicated plainly he was grooming the Fordham graduate as his successor. Frisch couldn't miss. He was certain to manage the Giants when McGraw

Meantime an ambition and years of planning had been thwarted by a locker room quarrel. Had Frisch stayed with the Giants he surely would have been made manager when McGraw resigned. But when MeGraw resigned Frisch was under contract with another club. Frisch never lost his respect for McGraw as a manager or as a main.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 16— Many seats are still available for the Indiana-Purdue football game here Saturday, L. L. Fisher, Indiana University ticket manager, announced today. Hundreds of chairs will be used, if necessary, to accommodate the fans. The game, which will start at 1:30 p. m, will mark the 40th renewal of one of the oldest football rivalries in the nation, with the two teams battling for possession of the Old Oaken Bucket, Athletic Director Z. G. Clevenger today announced that uniformed Pinkerton guards have been hired to serve at the 13 gates of Memorial Stadium, to guard against pickpockets, gate-crashing and scalping of tickets, and to provide special police service. The Pinkerton men will take charge at the stadium on Saturday morning, and will work with state and local police handling what is expected to be Memorial Stadium'’s largest crowd. «

Corby Davis Champ Eater, Star Fullback

He Deserves Those Extra Steaks, Is Opinion of Bo McMillin.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 16. — Waiter, bring two steaks for Corby Davis, Indiana fullback who has two claims to fame. 1. He's the Big Ten's outstanding fullback. 2. He's the Big Ten’s largest eater, But if it was up to Davis you'd never hear about either of these attributes. He never talks about himself or much of anything else for that matter. He's too busy play= ing football, eating or studying. When the Indiana squad passed through Chicago last Friday en route to Iowa City to play Iowa the players lined up for a photograph with Davis standing on the sides lines. He didn't even care about having his picture taken,

He Deserved "Em

But Saturday afternoon in Iowa City Davis was very much in the picture. Without Davis Indiana very well might have been upset by the Hawkeyes. Here's what he did: Made four of Indiana's five first downs, Gained 51 yards in 18 times. Averaged 36 yards on 11 punts, ins eluding one of 65 yards and another 0 \ Knocked down three of Iowa's passes, one of which saved a touchdown. Played 60 minutes. After the game, Davis, who weigh? 203 pounds and is 5 feet 11 inches in height, tucked a napkin under his chin and ate two meals, include ing a steak with each. Davis’ mates continually rib him about his ca« pacity for food but he doesn’t mind, He just keeps on eating and grinning. Key Man in Backfield On the field Davis is the key man in Indiana's five-man backfield. He is a smashing blocker, a crashing line plunger, a fine kicker and a fair passer. He is quick at diagnose ing plays, and the Hoosiers’ best de« fensive back. Coach Bo McMillin rates him one of the greatest dee fenders against passes he has ever seen, Davis will play his final collegiale game against Purdue Saturday, and the Boilermakers, who haven't defeated Indiana during McMillin's regime, will have to stop Corby to entertain any kind of hopes for victory. . In three seasons—1934, 1935 and 1937—Davis hasn't played a poor game Most of the time he's been a star. He didn’t play during 1936 because of an infected arm. He has very delicate skin and must continually take precautions to guard against hoils,
