WHY THE YANKEES GET RESULTS

TAKE CHANCES AND PAY WELL

NTO wonder the New York Yankees get results. . . . They have the best organization in the major leagues. . . . They are willing to gamble, as they did on Joe DiMaggio. . . . Nobody else felt inclined to risk $25,000 on an out-

fielder with a doubtful knee. "Col. Ruppert said, “What’s 25 grand? If he makes it he will be worth 10 times that.” So Scout Bill Essick took Joe to a surgeon and wired, “Grab him.” The Yankees pay the highest salaries in their league. . . . And they offer the grandest opportunities for extra swag. . . . In three straight World Series the regulars have picked up a total of $18,830 each. . . . The average ball player perhaps doesn’t match this for three entire seasons of play. In the series just closed the full-share Yankees received $5815. ... They got $6471 out of the 1937 classic and $6544 in 1936. . . . This year they would have gone well beyond the 1937 take if the radio rights had been . sold again for the customary $100,000.

: (OWNER RUPPERT got very little out of the 1938 title

series. . . . In fact, when all the returns are in he may be out money. . . . Ball clubs begin to cash in on a World Series only after the fourth game. Nobody would have criticized Manager Joe McCarthy if he had pitched Bump Hadley last Sunday and taken a chance on going into a fifth contest. But Joe started his ace, Red Ruffing. « . . Col. Ruppert applauded the choice, and now the Yankees are returning $175,000 they had banked for fifth-game sales.

KI yeaa of Washington and Nebraska had letdowns after losing to Minnesota and have not won since facing the hardhitting Gopher eleven. . . . Maybe Purdue can break the spell and upset Fordham in New York tomorrow. ... It’s one of the choice dishes on the national football menu this week and an army of experts will be there. : : \ It's the first big intersectional fall fashion grid show between Middle West and East. . . . Purdue grads in the Eastern sector will be there with bells on to cheer the Boilermaker warriors. Fordham has lost some of the granite out of its line and has come up Ao this tilt by playing a couple of pushovers. ... Purdue has had three tests—two of the “terrific” type—and may outlast the Rams in the 60-minute struggle. ” 2 2 : 2 8 2

ae has dropped two close ones and is “due” against the Cornhuskers while Notre Dame, the other member of the Hoosier Big Three, is expected to win over Illinois after a ding-dong skirmish. . . . Ilinois has a great line plus a group of alert backs. Georgia Tech had a great line, too, consisting of six seniors and one junior. . . . But the Irish came through in the clutch under a hot Southern sun. \ With a state rivalry that dates back to 1888, Butler and DePauw will square off in Indianapolis tomorrow in the 24th clash between the Tiger and Bulldog. . . . Butler holds a one-game edge, having won 10 games and being held to four ties. . . . DePauw has taken nine. : 8 ” 2 » » 8 EPAUW rolled over Butler, 76 to 0, in 1919. . . . Since then Butler has won six, tied one and lost one in eight starts against the Greencastle gridders.Total points since 1888; DePauw, 286; Butler, 202. . . . There was a 20-18 score in 1892 and the rooters probably got dizzy watching that one. . . . In 1926 DePauw finished on top, 21-10, the next year Butler reversed the count and grabbed the laurels, 25-6. It's difficult to match a 10-9 traditional rivalry and tomorrow’s combat probably will supply the customers with a barrel of thrills, . .. The teams are well coached and in fine physical condition to meet the test. ” 2 » 2 ” » HE Army-Notre Dame game at Yankee Stadium, New York, Oct. 29, will have plenty of box office competition. . . . Columbia vs. Cornell at Baker Field, N. Y. U. vs. Ohio State at the Polo Grounds, City College vs. Lowell Textile and Brooklyn College vs. American Ine ternational. .. . So what? . . . The Army-Notre Dame attraction should worry. ... No reserved seat tickets available. . , . The park is sold out. That three-straight 0-0 situation built up by Pitt and Fordham has Pittsburghers frantic trying to purchase tickets for Oct. 29. . . . Pitt Stadium holds 68,600 . . . and the 63,000 seats allotted to Pittsburgh fans have long since been exhausted .. . so they're trying to get the pasteboards on the New York end . .. and there are about 63,000 Broadwayites shrieking for the 5000 seats awarded them.

SPO Nine Games on

Crippled Tech Faces Manual; Shortridge at Jefferson.

Eleven district prep «teams were set to compete in a crowded nine game schedule of football today and tomorrow. Highlight of today’s pigskin presentations was the Tech battle at Manual’'s Delavan Smith Field at 2:15 p. m. Both teams have one victory against two defeats in early season play. . Last year the Big Green engulfed the Redskins, 26 to 6, but Coach Doc Ball's men went into the fray today badly crippled by injuries. It was likely only Charles Berling would be the only firststring backfield man to start.

Prep Schedule

that job..

Among the linemen, Tackle Carl Hartlage, the acting captain, will be absent because of the death of his father. The Shortridge Blue Devils travel to Lafayette for the “rubber game” with Jefferson tonight at 7:15 p. m, Since their series began each squad has taken four games.

Washington’s Continentals, with

two triumphs in three starts, go to Southport tonight for an 8 p. m. candle-power game. Three regulars on the injured list will force Coach Henry Bogue to juggle his lineup. The Cardinal eleven is to have five new faces as Coach A. E. Pitcher rearranges his squad. Broad Ripple’s Rockets, having won three of four, were seeking another victory at their field with Rushville at 2:45 p. m. The Rockets lost to Shortridge for their only setback. 5 The undefeated Park squad was host to Morton Memorial of Knightstown at 3 p. m. today as they sought to continue their victory chain begun last year. Tonight at 8 o'clock the Ben Davis Giants hope to shine, as

Of those mentioned for the Dodger managership Leo Durocher got, only one possibility was overlooked. He was ‘Al Schacht—and he was just made for

brightly as the floodlights at Stout «a

Field when they meet the Indiana Boys’ School aggregation. At the same hour Warren Central moves in on Lowell seeking their first taste of victory. - A change in schedule brings Ele wood to Southport’s Roosevelt Sta dium tomorrow at 8 p. m. to face the undefeated Irish of Cathedral. Jake Caskey’s Silent Hoosiers meét the Kentucky Deaf School here tomorrow at 2:15 p. m. The Crispus Attucks Tigers enjoy an open date and a chance to get in more practice for their game at Danville, Ill, next Friday.

FROSH BATTLE TO TIE Neither the Shortridge nor the Broad Ripple freshman football

squads had cause to rejoice today. They battled to a scoreless tie yes= terday on the Blue Devil field as costly fumbles by both teams in the enemy territory prevented a winner. Rudy was the outstanding player for the Rockets while Schenk and Alderr executed fine plays for the North Side Rhinies.
