By Eddie Ash 13 TRIBE PILOTS IN 36 YEARS

SIX STILL ACTIVE IN BASEBALL

NDIANAPOLIS' INDIANS, charter members of the American Association, which was organized in 1902, have had 13 managers over a period of 36 years and with one pilot, Jack Hendricks, serving two stretches, the first from 1914 to ’17, inclusive, and the second from 1919 to 28, inclusive. . . . He was away one year—1918—during the nine years overall as field pilot of the Redskins. Hendricks directed the team for five successive seasons during his second regime and this was a local “endurance” record until Wade Killefer's term of five years in a row. . . . Killefer succeeded Emmet McCann at the close of the 1932 campaign and acted in the double capacity of general manager and manager until his resignation yesterday. ... He will serve in the same capacities

with the new Hollywood club of the Coast League. 5 ” 2 8 ” 8

. H. WATKINS directed the Indians the first two years of American Association membership, 1902 and '08. . . . Whoa Bill Phillips was the chieftain in 1904 and Ed Barrow in 1905. , . . Charlie Carr entered the picture in 1006 and remained until about midseason of 1910 when Jimmy Burke supplanted him. . +. Burke stepped out during the '12 season, but the record book does not list a

Successor. : : At any rate, Mike J. Kelley guided the Indians in 1913, moved on after one season and Jack Hendricks came

in as the ownership changed hands. = 8 n » ENDRICKS resigned after the 1917 campaign to accept the managerial berth with the St. Louis Cardinals and Napoleon Lajoie piloted the Hoosiers during the short season of the war year, 98, .. Hendricks was back in the Tribe driver's seat in 1919 and lasted through 1093 when Ownie Bush took charge and remained three years through 1924 when the Pittsburgh Pirates weaned him away. . . . Bruno Betzel succeeded Bush and stayed three years, through 1929, and in 1930 Johnny Corriden was given the post. Emmet McCann relieved Corriden during the 1931 race and held on through 1932 when Wade Killefer accepted the responsibility of guiding the destinies of the club, ” » »

‘CANN was the last manager at old Washington park and the first at Perry Stadium. ... Of the 13 Indianapolis managers three are deceased—W. H. Watkins, Charlie Carr and Emmet McCann. . . . Pennants were won by the Indians under Watkins in 1902, Carr in 1908, Hendricks in 1917 and Betzel in 1928 . . . Little World Series titles were won by the Tribesters of 1917 and 1928. Six former Indian managers are still doing business in baseball . . . They are Ed Barrow, general manager of the New York Yankees; M. J. Kelley, president of the Minneapolis Millers: Ownie Bush, manager of the Millers: Bruno Betzel, manager of Scranton in the New York-Penn-svivania League: Johnny Corriden, Chicago Cubs’ coach; and Wade Killefer, “gone Hollywood." 2 5 2 "

LAYERS promoted to the majors for trials while serving under Killefer at Perry Stadium were outfielders Johnny Cooney and Pete Chapman: pitchers Jim Turner. Bob Logan and Paul Trout; catcher Johnny Riddle; infielders Bob Kahle, Dick Siebert and Vincent Sherlock. . . . Turner and Cooney turned in the best records of the Killefer graduates while others still are on trial and Chapman and Sherlock apparently have heard the big league call for the last time. Killefer said ‘farewell to Perry Stadium vesterday afternoon and left for Chicago last night. . . . He plans a short visit in Paw Paw Mich.. the old home town, before reporting at the big minor league convention in Milwaukee next week. = = 8 u

ILWAUKEE is braced and ready for the invasion of baseball's army, which will take possession Dec. 1, with the opening of the 36th annual convention of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues. , . . Hundreds of well-known diamond figures will pour in from all directions for the big winter powwow, It is a minor league meeting, but the majors will be on hand, too, and there will be considerable enactment of legislation, buying, selling, and trading of player contracts.

The return of Rupert Ferrell, a regular of past seasons who was out | of school last year, is expected to | give additional strength to Coach |

(Dutch) Miller, former Brooklyn catcher and coach, who is an Indianapolis product. The name of Riggs Stephenson continued to occupy a prominent position in the list of candidates. He managed the Birmingham team of the Southern Association two years and only recently resigned the post. He served two stretches with the Indians as an outfielder but retired from the playing end of the game last midseason. Other popular “choices” with the Indianapolis rooters are Johnny Cooney, Jim Bottomley and Barney Kelly, Big League Contacts “The new leader has big league contacts and I feel sure the Indians will benefit by his connections,” President Perry said today. “At his request the announcement of the appointment has been withheld but he is working on the player deals which were set in motion by Mr. Killefer. “The Indians are going to be rebuilt for the 1038 season and we hope to close several transactions at the minor league convention in Milwaukee, The Indianapolis club {is ready to pay cash for the right kind of talent and we already have sounded out certain major teams.”

At the minor league meeting in Milwaukee next week a very ime portant amendment will be proposed, Initiated by Branch Rickey of the 8t, Louis Oardinals, who professes to be in a pious lather about the situation, the amendment will read as follows: “College players shall not be permitted to play professional baseball on any club party to this agree ment (which means organized baseball) until after such time as he or his class has graduated, “In the case of a college player who for bona fide reason has quit school, one year must elapse before the player may be added to the

It's a laudable intent. But let's examine the proposition

Rickey to Move for Amendment at Minor League Session With Idea of Stopping ‘Raids.’

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Npecinl Weiter NEW YORK, Nov. 23.--You hear a great deal about the payoff in college football, but practically nothing about the financial support of the young men who interpret college baseball, One reason for this is that college ®- | baseball does not receive the jours
