among the guests of honor.

i A Pat On the Back for Keliy

WRITING IN the Pittsburgh Press, Les Biederman, baseball scribe, commented as follows on the release of Coach Barney Mike Kelly by the Pirates: “The sudden release handed Coach Mike Kelly Thursday at least gives the Indianapolis resident:quite a few months to catch on with another club, but may turn out to be a bad break

because managerial changes in

the big league picture during the

winter are expected to be very few. .- “Coaches seldom are changed unless managers move on, and in this case, Kelly's release may be hard to explain, unless Manager Frankie Frisch plans to elevate Catcher Spud Davis to Kelly's role. ° “Davis was handed his release during the World Séries to make

~ Toom for an active player on the roster and at the time it was an-

nounced he would remain in the Pirate organization. Thus, it appears logical that Davis might be retained in the capacity of a coach.’

“Kelly was a big favorite in

Pittsburgh, especially with the fans

In the third base sections. He has a ready flow of wit, a keen sense of humor and certainly was one of the most loyal workers the Buccos

ever owned.” 3 o 2 8

Times Special

CHICAGO, Oct. 18. — National Football League teams reach the half-way - mark in their l4-week champiomship struggle tomorrow with another full schedule of five games and eight coaches praying fervently for upsets. Although 30 games will remain to be played after this week-end, it has become increasingly apparent

about the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants or postpone any arrangements to participate in the annual title play-off Dec. 14.

top of the western division, the pos-

league records for ground gaining established against the Chicago Cardinals in a 53 to 7 triumph last week, Tomorrow the Giants match their vaunted defense, the .best in the league, against a Pittsburgh team which a week ago suddenly found itself in the fourth quarter and staged a rally: that barely missed defeating the Washington Redskins. The Giant-Steeler game will be one of the three played in the eastern division. Across the. river in Brooklyn, the Dodgers will tackle the Cardinals, a much better team than the breaks and the Bears contrived to make them appear a week ago. Washington, just beginning to find itself against teams which had much better exhibition opponents for conditioning purposes, journeys over to Philadelphia, where it hopes to have a little more luck against the “T” formation than it did last December. . . In the West the Bears will be a home to the Detroit Lions, another team which gives evidence of having recovered after a slow start. Green Bay invades Cleveland to oppose the Rams, who have made it somewhat of a tradition to play their finest football ‘against the Packers in the big lake front stadium. -

Offer 110 Laps At Speedrome

A 110-lap racing card will be presented tonight at the Indianapolis Speedrome, on Road 52 across from the International Harvester plant. A feature of the evening will be a special 15-lap handicap event, in which the cars are placed according to their qualifying speed, from the outside of the track instead of from the pole, the ordinary method. There will be five 10-lap qualifying events, a 35-lap main race, and a 10-lap consolation, in addition to the handicap. A new asphalt .topping has been put on the track, which, according to the drivers, increases the speeds and is safer, because it is easier on the tires.

Here's the Caps’ Big Four on defense. . . . (left to right) Hal Jackson, Buck Jones, Sandy Ross and Dick Behling.
