; . PUTTING the bellows to the baseball hot stove league: It is said Jewel Ens couldn’t say ‘“yes” fast enongh when the Cincinnati Reds beseeched him to relinquish the Indianapolis manager's berth and return to them as coach. . .. More peace of mind, less work, less responsibility and in the Big Show. Red Killefer, the old| campaigner who: returns to Indianapolis as manager, used to say he didn’t care how much the Perry Stadium fans got on him just so they paid to get in the park and kept coming back to give him| the old burn, . As as matter of fact, Killefer, being of the old school, is willing to “take’”> the punishment if it will help the gate. On his previous tenure here he brought in too many Coast Leaguers but probably is cured of that now. .. . American Association umpires will not welcome the Redhead with open arms. . In arguments he is extremely outspoken, and with gestures. If Killefer didn’t have at least two red hot feuds going on with rival clubs he thought himself slipping. His outstanding feud was with the Milwaukee team, punctuated by fist fights both here “and in the Cream City. In a local game Pitcher {Jim Turner of the Indians and Catcher George Rensa of the Brewers started swinging and kept going until Rensa hit the deck and Turner had a broken thumb. Announcement of Killefer’'s recall to the Tribesters received. a cool reception in downtown sports circles but maybe he'll’ get by and find some means of /increasing attendance. . Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Toledo are|the league's weak links at the box office.

How Big Leagues Obtain Umpires

NOTING the acquisition | lof two new umpires by the. American League, Warren Brown of the Chicago Herald and American set out to find out how arbiters were obtained and what was paid for their contracts, learning there was) no agreement between the majors and minors covering the subject. “The transfer of a ball [player from the minor leagues to the major leagues is accomplished more often than not on a cash and a player basis, or strictly onja cash basis,” Brown explains. “Sometimes, the sums expended have been highly interesting, and, sometimes, as in the [case of Willie Kamm'’s purchase price of $100,000, as much cash acthally changes hands as mentioned in the dispatches. Draft prices of $7500 and $5000 are common enough for ball players and so are sums from $10,000 upward. But what does am umpire cost? | : x a

" 8 LJ »

“NOT MORE than $2,500 for a good umpire—allowing, as we will, under protest, that there is such a thing as a good umpire, We mention that price, not that it was any of your business, or ours, what either of President Harridge’s latest pair of umpires cost, but because that was the agreed-upon price for Babe Pinelli. “We have used the expression ‘agreed upon’ price, for Pinelli was aimed at the American League. The transaction was to have been concluded at the annual minor league meeting, which was being “held in Louisville. [When President Harridge moved in on Louisville, he learned to his dismay that the Pacific Coast had accepted a.higher bid for Pinelli from the National League. Not Required To Pay For Guessers “THE major leagues, we learned with a great deal of interest, are not required to pay anythi ng for umpires if they do not care to. In the days of Ban Johnson as/ American League president, any minor leaguer who looked as if he had sufficient talent to umpire in the major leagues was merely told by Johnson, or one of his agents, to report for duty at such and such a date in an American League city. And that’s all there was to ith “There still is no clause in any minor-major league agreement about prices on umpires. How do the major leagues get a line on promising umpires? They scout ‘em. Each major league is equipped ‘mow with an umpire-in-chief, who no longer appears on the field, but roams around the leagues looking over the aclive umpires. “As reports come in td the league offices on promising talent, wthese umpires-in-chief will|take a ride around the minor league cir“cuit and look the candidate ovek, And that's all there is to that” ” » n ” " ” ACCORDING to Sporting i. the baseball weekly, the Columbus Red Birds of the Aue} ican Association, aside from catching, go into the winter stove league sessions with more talent on their reserve list than any outfit since the St. Louis Cards took over in Columbus, back in 1932, ahd | for once, \they hope to jump the gun when the word is given next April. Too often in the past, the Birds have started so poorly and with such a shoddy collection of players that the fans have soured and then refused to warm up to the club, even after it was bolstered and started to win. Incidentally, the A. A. hikes Thursday, April 17, for its 1941 opening. although this is not official. . It is planned to close the season on Sunday, inday, Sept. 3 Nek earlier than in 1940.

Visitors Setting Pace In Eastern Division

By J. E. O'BRIEN The hockey Capitals, only American League team able to boast a victory over Cleveland’s Western Division leaders, are having more highriding company at 8:30 this evening on the big Coliseum ice cake. This time it’s the Springfield In-

The Indians have been beaten only once in nine | games are are well in command of | the Eastern Division chase, If the Capitals need any added incentive for victory, they have only to recall an evening of a week ago on Springfield's frozen floor, when a rough-and-tumble time was had by all. When the melee was over— and melee is a mild word for it— the Caps and the Indians each had five points.

TONIGHT’S SCHEDULE Springfield at INDIANAPOLIS, No other games scheduled,

Springfield hockey fans went home that night telling themselves

it was the best game they had seen 11

in 14 years. And probably it was if you like ‘your hockey rough. Twelve penalties were called in the course of the evening, four of them major fines. At one time four Capitals and three Indians were in the doghouse together, and the. law had to be called to stop the ensuing free-for-all, So you can see that tonight's affair won't be anything at which to serve pink cookies and hot tea. The chief of these visiting Indians is Eddie Shore, a guy who would just as soon swat shins and chins as the rubber puck. Eddie has had 16 years’ experience as a hockey defense man and four times wus named the National League's most valuable player, Last year Shore tock over the Springfield club, at the same time trying to do his National League chores. This year he promised American League bigwigs that all his work—rough stuff included—would be done in this circuit. They Also Make Goals

Don’t get the idea, though, that the Indians spend all their time making enemies on the ice. They've shown themselves to be just as adept at making goals. Currently their chief scorers are Fred Thurrier and Fred Hunt, with Glenn Brydson and Kaminsky hot on their heels. The Capitals haven't had a game since last Sunday’s 7-2 victory over Cleveland, but Manager Herbie Lewis has had regular practice sessions for the three games this weekend. After this evening's game, the Caps will jump to Philadelphia Saturday night to meet the Ramblers and then come home on the Sabbath to take on New Haven. Being idle has dropped the Hoosiers to third place in the western division. The Hershey Bars picked up a point by tying Philadelphia, 5-5, last night and moved out in front of our stick-and-skate lads. In the other American League game Cleveland added an-1

Hursh to Work iPart Time

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Nov. 21.— The shining light and high hope down here this year has been Hurlin’ Hal Hursh, and that’s the reason Bo McMillin was sighing deep and heavy today. Hursh, the doctor says, is ailing

from a leg injury and he can do only part-time duty against the Boilermakers on the Purdue gridiron Saturday. To date Hal has a record of 107 pitches in seven games, 50 completed passes for a .453 percentage and 676 yards gained. It's no wonder hie may be needed Saturday. But Hal hurt a leg early in the season and the Wisconsin game aggravated the injury (as well as a lot of Bloomington fans), He's been working out with the squad, but the doctor still thinks Hal had better not play too much in the season finale. To take his place MeMillin has in mind Earl Doloway, scphomore; to do the passing and maybe Tufly Brooks at left half to call signals.

Grid Menu Is Skimpy Today

NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (U. P).— If the turkey helpings are as skimpy as the Thanksgiving grid offerings, those who get more than a neck or a wing will be lucky. Because of the confusion in the change of the date of Thanksgiving last year, few of the big football schools were willing to gamble on a Turkey Day game this year. The white meat on today’s menu sends Arkansas against Fordham in a big intersectional at New York: Kansas against Missouri in a Big Six conference tilt at Columbia; and Colorado against Denver in a Big Seven league game at Denver, St. Louis U, entertains unbeaten Texa: Tech at St. Louis, and other games on the schedule include: Cincinnati-Miami of Ohio, College of Pacific-Nevada, Franklin and Marshall-Ursinus; MarshallWest Virginia Wesleyan, Rich-mond-William and Mary; San Jose Teachers-South Dakota; Tampa-Rollins; Utah-Idaho; VPIVMI, Washburn-St. Benedict, Western Reserve-Case, Xavier Cincinnati-Ohio U., and Xavier (New Orleans) -Florida Aggies.

Purdue Realy For I. U. Attack By Land or Air

But Elward Has His Backfield Woes

Times Special

LAFAYETTE, Ind. . Nov, 21.—Cagey Mal Elward, the bald-headed coach who's mighty frugal with glaring press statements, does have something to say on this oc casion concerning the PurdueIndiana football game here Saturday. :

Mr. Elward has had long confer ences with himself—he likes these one-man affairs — and here's the outcome: Indiana, the passing plague of the Big Ten, may stake its chances on a running attack. At least this is the word he gave his injury-ridden Boilermakers. The upstate boys will be set for an I, U, aerial attack, make no mis« take. It’s just that they’ll be ready for about anything—by land or by air, eo Ready Own Air Force Fact is, they spent the greater rt of one whole practice this week

lin developing ways and means to

bottle up the ball heaving of Hal Hursh, the Indiana prima donna. The Boilermakers also have spent some time working on their own, aerial onslaught, which clicked 12 times for 127 yards against Minnesota, with Walt Cook, Marion (Red) Carter and John Galvin doing most of the pitching. The big question up here, howe ever, is the backfield. On the hurte and-healing list dare two right halfe backs—Mike Byelene and Paul Ane derson—and two quarterbacks—Bob Kersey and Vincent Snyder, “4 And so Coach Elward has been trying out two backfield combinations. The one expected to start the game Saturday is: Fred Smerke, quarter; Carter, left half; | Cook, right half, and John Petty, fullback. All except Petty, who ranks second in the Big Ten scoring figures, are sophomores. The other backfield on tap is: Jim Cary or William Lindsay at quarter; Galvin, left half; Tony Berto, right half, and Hal Schumacher, fullback, This is what Elward has to keep the Old Bucket within the domicile of John Purdue, whence it has rested for these last three years.
