| Horace Stoneham, president of the
Dame football ticket sales, it is reported from Notre Dame today by _ Ticket Manager Robert M. Cahill. , . , The sale for the MichiganNotre Dame game at Notre Dame Nov. 14 led in early reports, but ‘ eastern returns have restored the Cadet ‘classic of Nov. 7 to its accustomed ranking.’ The Michigan game may sell out first, however, since capacity at Notre Dame is only 56,000, while Yankee stadium, New York, _ gite of the Army-Notre- Dame game, ‘holds nearly 80,000, ; The Navy-Notre Dame game at Cleveland continues to hold third spot, thanks in no small measure to a check for $16,000 worth of pasteboards recently brought to the Notre Dame campus by Ben Franklin of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. The sale of season tickets for the five Irish home games with Georgia Tech, Stanford, the Iows naval pre-flight school, Michigan and Northwestern, is still far ahead of last year’s season sale, ace cording to Bob Cahill.
Irish Open Grid Card On Road
THE LAST TIME Notre Dame played its opening football game away from home was in 1929, when Jack Elder, star sprinter and . track captain, led the Irish to a 14-to-0 victory over Indiana university, scoring both touchdowns himself.
Notre Dame will open against another western conference eleven, -
Wisconsin, at Madison this year. . . . The date is Sept. 26. . Irish fans hope that history repeats when Owen (Dippy) Evans, former Indiana prep sprint champion, lines up in Elder’s post, left half, against the Badger eleven. Eddie Talboom, former South Bend, Ind. prep grid star who was scheduled to understudy Angelo Bertelli at quarterback for Notre Dame this fall, has been called to the Toledo, O., army ine duction center. . . . Unless turned down there, which is unlikely, he wil be in the armed forces before long.

Giants Deny
Terry Seeking MacPhail’s Job
NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (U, P)—
New York Giants, today denied published reports that Bill Terry, manager of the Giants’ farm system might succeed Larry MacPhail as president of the Brooklyn Dodgers if MacPhail enters the army. MacPhail already has taken a physical examination for the army. Stoneham told the United Press: “That report has no foundation. I talked with Terry for four hours on Thursday and he made no mention of any negotiations with the Dodgers. “If Bill were negotiating, he would tell me immediately. He's
fellow’s back. Yes, Terry has another year on his contract with us, and I know of no reason why he won’t be with us for at least that year.” Terry has been the most hated of all Giants in the eyes of Brooklyn fans since that unhappy day when he asked: “Is -Brooklyn still in the league?”

Indians Are 4 Games From First Division
Columbus, League’s Leader
Still striving to get into the American association post-season wi off, the Indianapolis Indians bumped off the Louisville Colonels again last night, 3 to 0, and annexed the series three games to one. That gives the Redskins a margin of 10 to 8 over the Kentuckians with four to go to be played in Louisville in September. And now the tough Toledo Mud Hens unpack their bats at Victory

He held Bill Burwell's team to four. scattered hits, struck out six and walked six. Woodie was wild but not too wild and ‘the Colonels didn’t know whether to wait him out or slash at his pitches,” As a sample of his pitching, he ‘struck out the first two. to face him after the count reached three and .two. He also fanned two in the second inning after a hit and a walk. He has won nine games and lost. seven:
Keeps Blows Scattered
Rich distributed she Louisville hits as follows: One’ in the first, one in the second, one in the fifth and one, a double, in the sixth. He hit the first man up in the seventh and then settled down and subdued the Colonels the remainder of the way. The Indians lost no time getting to Bill Sayles, Louisville's starting hurler. Wayne Blackburn walked in the first frame, Rabbit McDowell doubled, Joe Moore singled and Johnny McCarthy singled. The splurge was good for two runs before Sayles was relieved by Bill Deutsch who stopped the rally cold. Deutsch really pitched baseball and the Indians only got three hits off him in six innings and he fanned three. He dropped out for a pinch hitter in the seventh and the Redskins got to Tony Karl for one marker in the eighth on Moore’s single, McCarthy's single and Gil English’s single after Joe Bestudik stroked into a double play.
No Tribe Errors
The Redskins played errorless ball and the one Louisville miscue did not figure in the scoring. Colonel Chief Burwell used '17 players in an effort to get his team going. The defeat dropped the Colonels from fifth to sixth as Minneapolis took over the league’s No. 5 spot. Moore and McCarthy got a brace of blows apiece for the Indians who collected 10 as a team. Attendance was approximately 1500. Attendance for the season to date at Vietory

Strengthens Morale
The victory was doubly significant, for the Dodgers: had hammered their way out of a threatened hitting slump with a 19-hit blast on the day before. Now, with Wyatt's win, the morale of a pitching staff that seemed to be getting a little rocky probably will be stréngthened considerably. Wyatt missed the pitchers’ hall of fame by the margin of - Johnny Mize’s homer as the Dodgers edged the Giants in the opener of a fourgame series. The blow came in the second inning and was the 20th for long John. The victory gave Wyatt 15 victories against only four defeats. . Wyatt retired the last 18 Giants in order, setting seven of them down on strikes. The Dodgers collected both their runs in the second when singlés by Johnny Rizzo and Mickey Owen were sandwiched around Dolph Camilli’s triple. The Dodgers now lead the Cardinals, who were idle yesterday, by seven games. 5 Red Sox Take Yank Series

Three singles added the fifth run in the seventh. Jim Tabor’s thisd homer in two days, this one with two on, climaxed a six-run rally in the fifth inning that enabled the Red Sox to whip the Yankees, 7-4, and take the series, three games to four. The Boston victory trimmed the topheavy American league lead of the Yanks to 10% games. Philadelphia trampled Washington twice, 9-2 and 6-1.
