(CHANGING the pace to baseball: Paul (Dizzy) Trout, ~ the Hoosier flinger, was named the most valuable player in the ''exas League for the past season. . .. He won 22 games and dropped six. . . . The big fellow made good with his comedy line as well and Beaumont fans idolized him. : _ Trout was born in Sand Cut, Ind., in 1915 and at 23 18 going back for a second trial in the majors with Detroit. . , . He was. developed by the Indianapolis club and sold to the Tigers after the 1936 season. On his last birthday Dizzy pitched a three-hit game to beat San Antonio. .-. . The Hoosier kid teamed with Schoolboy Rowe to win Beaumont its second pennant in league history. He reported to Beaumont last spring with a suitcase and departed with several trunks filled with gifts and clothes. . . . The stalwart righthander became a fancy Dan in Texas and decked himself out in eye-popping toggery. 2

than three hours to bag the pheasant limit of four birds. Although Mike Kelley, president of the Minneapolis Millers, has seen many minor organizations benefit from major league tieups, he plans to operate independently next season. .. . Kelley indicated he would go into the open market for talent, for which he says he stands ready to spend $50,000. Kelley plans to acquire the Eau Claire club of the. Northern League for player development, because of Eau Claire's ‘proximity to Minneapolis. . . . Last season, the Millers had a hookup with the Boston Red Sox, but in midsummer, when the Millers were making a fight to remain in the first division, the American League club recalled

THE major leagues will not close their season a week earlier to sat-. isfy the professional football interests, it was indicated by Vice President Bill DeWitt of the St. Louis Browns, in refutation of the rumor that a move would be made to clear the decks earlier for the gridiron folk. It is pointed out by baseball officials that the weather up to Oct. 15, nearly everywhere, was more favorable for the diamond sport thar football; in fact, much better than the baseball clubs encountered in the spring this year and, if anybody did any changing in dates, it should be the gridiron interests. : tJ 2 8 : f J 2 8

SCONSIN’S home-coming program this week—with Indiana as the visiting grid attraction—is being built around the idea of a Golden Jubilee of football, this being the Badger’s 50th season of intercollegiate competition. . . . Aside from the usual decoration of the fraternity and sorority houses, the rally on the campus and pre-game social events, the-feature of the show will be an 1889 football pageant to be staged between halves. In this, a group of freshman players, garbed in uniforms reproducing those of 1889, will put on an exhibition of the game as played by the first Badger team. .. . Students of both sexes, will don costumes of the Eighties and furnish cheering sections for the canvas costumed players. tJ 2 2 2 8 8

After a deduction of $25,000 for the management of Yankee Stadium, the teams split the receipts. . . . It is estimated each school will draw down more than $125,000 this week.

In the second quarter a 95-yard pass from Ed Scheinbein to Shimer in the end zone provided the
tally

downs, minus the extra points. If the Irish had been anyway near as good on offense as they were on deferise, there would have been a score against the winners. Four times the Shortridges were down looking good for a score but on each occasion the stubborn Irish braced and took the ball on downs. But the Shortridge power in the persons of Kenny Smock, Joe Shedron, Jim Miller, Bob Scott, Dave Smith and Johnny Aitlerdice, all backs, was toc much for them. Meanwhile at Warren Central, the Broad Ripple Rockets shut out the Owls, 20-t0-0 and at Crawfordsville, the Washington Continentals got back into stride and topped the Athenians, 12-to-0. Southport’s Cardinals went to Columbus and came back with a 39-to-0 victory after a night tussle. Other city and district teams go to bat tomorrow afternoon or night or Saturday afternoon. :
Three Games Set For Tomorrow
Anderson is at Tech tomorrow afternoon. Manual goes tc Westfield tomorrow night while the Crispus Attucks Lions travel to Gary to meet Roosevelt. Park School is host to Kentucky Military Institute Saturday afternoon while the Silent Hoosiers will be at Delavan, Wis., to meet the Wisconsin School for the Deaf club. Cathedral made amends for what appeared to be a disastrous fumble in the first quarter. Salvador Calderon dropped the ball after catching Smock’s punt and Shortridge recovered on the Irish 20. Here the losers displayed their first heavy defensive power. In two plays Shedron ripped through to a first down on the Cathedral seven. But Shedron, Smith and Allerdice, who was in for Smith, couldn’t negotiate the rest of the way and the Irish took the ball on downs on their own four. About the middle of the second quarter, Joe Fitzgerald's toe failed him and the poor punt got the Irish in Dutch. It went out of bounds on his own 21. Seizing the opportunity as the Cathedrals were down in the dumps over the bad break, Smock, on the first play after the kick, went off his own right tackle, then side-stepped to the left and raced the 21 yards
‘I for a touchdown. Jack Meihaus
blocked Allerdice’s kick for the point, Cathedral's only offensive flash in the period was Paul Moxley’s pass to Bob Bowers for a net of 25 yards. It was the only one of four attempted pitches which the Irish made good. High winds kept both teams grounded. i
Cathedral Defense Tightens Again
Barly in the second half, Jack Meihaus’ speed and Cathedral’s tenacious ‘line thwarted another Shortridge score. Smock tére lose on a spinner and galloped 36 yards before Meihaus caught up with him, nailed him around the toes from behind and brought him down on the Cathedral 10. No one was between the runner and the finish tape. Smock knifed through for three and Shedron was spilled after he ploughed a yard. Smock’s pass, one of only two which the Devils tried, was grounded and on the fourth down he failed by a yard to make first down and Cathedral again took the ball. Joe Fitz’ kick-out was short and Smock returned it to the Cathedral 27. The Smock-Shedron pair smashed the ball to Cathedral’s oneyard line again in quick order, but the charging Irish took it on downs again, : After another Fitzgerald punt, th Devils worked back to the Cathedral five early in the last quarter, only to lose the ball on downs. It was another case of Cathedral having to punt out of its territory, but when the Devils got the ball this time there was no stopping them. Miller was in at fullback for Shortridge and joined Smock in the big drive. One of the thrills of this parade was Bradford Hoelscher’s seven-yard run on an end-around to give Shortridge a first down on the Cathedral one-yard line. On the second play Smith crossed the goal line on a reverse. Allerdice hustled back into the fray to kick the point, but missed again.
Shortridge Gains 282 Yards Over Ground
Shortridge obtained the ball by recovering a fumble on the Cathedral 20, but the Irish got it back in the same manner on their own 20. Shortridge gained possession of the ball when Allerdice intercepted Paul Moxley’s pass on the Cathedral 40 at the gun crack. Cathedral made only four first downs, one of themi on a penalty, against 13 for the winners. The Irish gained but 27 yards from scrimmage and another 25 on the completed pass. Shortridge’s running attack netted 282 yards. Howard Scott and Ernest Knipe paced the Broad Ripple Rockets to their fifth victory at the expense of Warren Central. The wind helped the winners; too. When Jim MacGuinnis punted from his own 40 in the first quarter, the stiff breeze carried the ball back over his head to the 25 and it rolled back 15 more before it was
covered. Scott went over on the in

Tony Juggles
Harding - Put at Left Half, Bill:‘Kreag at Fullback.
Coach Tony Hinkle set himself to the problem of patching up his backfield today to strengthen the squad for its final conference game of the season Saturday against Wabash College at Crawfordsville. The revamping of the backfield has been necessitated by the loss of Frank Welton, who received a broken ‘leg Tuesday during scrimmage. ’ Tom Harding will probably be shifted to the left half post vacated by Welton and Bill Kreag, junior, will’ be the likely candidate for Harding's fullback berth.
He’s Taking No Chances
The odds were 100-to-1 that ‘ole man injury’ would not creep into the Butler gridiron camp yesterday. Hinkle, instead of actual contact work, eased the afternoon’s session with a passing drill and a reviewal of Wabash plays by the freshman squad. Meanwhile, the Wabash squad has been riddled by injuries. Hopes of seoring- their first victory of the season Saturday were jolted yesterday when Coach Pete Vaughan announced that six members of his squad had been forced to the sidelines. Those players who appear to have been lost for the Butler tilt are Maloney, Emmert, Armstrong and Gineris, linesmen, and Buehner, fullback. Despite the prevalent jinx, the Little ‘Giants continued preparations for their home-coming game. Coach Vaughan emphasized passing and blocking and sought to find a clicking backfield combination.
