| | Kibitzers:

Overrun ‘Coliseum

- Big Crowd on Hand aslcels

Put on’ Rink; Sellout Is Anticipated.

By TOM: OCHILTREE "The Indianapolis Capitals, as spirited a bunch of ice hockey players as one could wish to see, hove to today in the flossy new State Fair Grounds Coliseum, their home port, and did some mugging for the asJembled press photographers. - About the whole outfit there is a rarm glow of confidence, with ““erbie Lewis, the playing manager, .adiating the most of all. Tomorrow

piight our boys open their nome]

D hedule with a game against the pyracuse Stars promptly at 8:30 #. m, for reasons which will “be éxplained below. Quite a few of the City’s: excavation watchers and corner drug store inhabitants have moved their operations out to the Coliseum and become ice kibitzers. They spend hours kicking at the ice with the heels of their shoes to see if it is hard enough. What they enjoy most, though, is watching Don MacLeod, a ruddy Scot, add another layer by spraying water over the rink.

Fresh Money Is Lure

There is about a quarter of an inch of ice on the floor now, and

by tomorrow night the thickness will

be increased to an inch. Sensing that some fresh money has come to these parts, everyone desiring to sell a gold brick or-a reasonable facsimile of the same has propositioned Arthur Wirtz, Indianapolis Coliseum Corp. president, or a member of his staff. You can imagine how far they got when the organization includes a guy named MacLeod. But they tried everything —prayer rugs, foot warmers, coffee cookers, score boards, etc. MacLeod, incidentally, is the operations manager "of the Chicago stadium who saw to the installation of the equipment here. The system includes giant brine tanks and 12 miles of pipe under the playing floor. The atmosphere about the place is something like back stage on opening night. A lot of gents carry pieces of lumber and paint buckets from one end of the building to the other, and then some more fellows carry them back to where they -were in the first place.

Public Address System

Ready for use is the little tractor that pulls the ice shaving machine, and workers are preparing to hoist the giant speakers for the public address system to the roof. Bob Elson, the Chicago announcer, is to handle the system on opening night. A dasher, a solid wooden fence three and a half feet high, has been built around the rink. This is what

. keeps the players from cascading up|: - -

into the crowd. The Coliseum normally will hold more than 8000, but overflow sections are being built in front of the first boxes in anticipation of a sellout tomorrow. Mr. Wirtz announced that a. half dozen figure skaters are to be im-

ported from Chicago to entertain|: - -

the customers during the rest periods, and four spotlights which lock a little like the business end of a Frenth “75” have been installed for “this part of the show. The Capitals come here with a perfect record, having won both their road starts in the InternationalAmerican League. They defeated the Hershey Bars, 4-3, last Saturday and trimmed the Syracuse Stars,

5-3, Sunday. According to the management, opening night or no opening night, tomorrow's engagement is to begin promptly at 8:30 p. m. because both the Capitals and the Stars have to make train connections. The Capitals are to play the Pittsburgh Hornets there Saturday and the Syracuse team is to go to Hershey for a game. The Indianapolis squad then is to hop the rattlers to get back here for a game against the Philadelphia Ramblers Sunday night.

‘Hoosier hunters had their shells bought and their guns oiled- today as they awaited the beginning of the open season tomorrow on rabbits, quail, cock pheasants and Hungarian partridge. Virgil M. Simmons, Conservation Department - commissioner, said cooler weather and light rains during the last week have contributed to the prospects for ‘a successful season, and he predicted that a record number of sportsmen would be in the field tomorrow. Moreover, these nimrods .should have plenty to shoot at. Summer and fall reports to the Conservation Department have indicated that in most sections of the state the supply of quail, pheasants and rabbits is greater than in the past. Usually Indiana’s best quail hunting is found in the southern part of the state, the best pheasant hunting is in the northern counties, and. rabbits are well distributed over

some counties in southern Indiana where there is an abundance of pheasants and some northern. areas where quail thrive. Most of the Hungarian partridge are found in the northeastern counties. Mr. Simmons reminded sportsmen that the closing dates for the hunt-| ing season are: Cock pheasants, Nov. 16; ducks and migratory was terfowl, Dec. 5, quail and Hungarian partridge, Dec. 20, and rabbits, Jan. 10. : The bag limits are: Quail, 10;

All of which reminds us that Mr.

‘| DiMaggio had quite a” large and

satisfactory year for himself last season. He was the ball player of the year. But Mr. DiMaggio had a harder fight clinching his position “as the No. 1 man of baseball than was necessary. He went through a tough

season last year, a season that was tough on his nerves, morale and spirit. All of a sudden he found he

‘| had lost his popularity. Fans booed

him all over the circuit and on his home grounds the booing was loudest and longest.

Fans Sided With Owner

This was. peculiar treatment for a young man who admittedly was destined to be a baseball idol. And it’ has a peculiar background. Mr. DiMaggio had arrayed himself | against a club owner and for one of the few times in history the fans sided with the club owner. You may recall the circumstances. ‘Mr. DiMaggio was offered a hand-

Ruppert and spurned it. Not only that, he refused to join the club in the South. When finally signed the fans had made up their : 1nd the young man

every time he walked out on the field they let him know about it. Admitted His Blunder 1t is difficult for all young men to

1remain untouched by sudden fame

and this son of a water front fisherman would have been something less than human if he hadn't ex-

1perienced a certain feeling of added

importance. Anyway . it ‘was a blunder, for Ruppert had been more than fair. The fans sensed this and that’s why they turned against the young ball player. But as the philosopher says, out of every evil comes some good, and Mf. DiMaggio’s distressing adventures: last year made him a better man and a better ball player.
