SCATENAS SHOW LOT OF

The local 'vn na two experienced candidate for every position on the trm. the weight tor tho line and b-xckfltld I3 both fast and shifty. No l;s tl.an a dozen players remain from last year and under the watch, ijl guidance of Coach Ralph Jones the -catenas are rapidly taking on the appearance of a smooth, easygoing machine that will make a great deal of trouble for other Mid. west teams who will battle for the top. berth of the league. Captain Spoerner, who is playing his big: year of football for the Scatenas. is leading the team from right tackle. He was one of the mainstays cf last year's eleven and his experience, weight and ability will be strong factors in both the attack ani defence this season. Payne, of whom much has been written, is on the other tackle position. The end jabs, while still uncertain, is at present being held down by the sprightly Tague, while cn the other end W. Sldenbacker ha the call on the passes. Tague is one of the lightest men on the squad but he Is quick and clever and should get under punts with no trouble. The guard positions are being held down by players of past experience. Drumstead holds the left side with much poundage, while Heimke is on the right. Nelson, who gained much fame In the little nine conference. Is doing the passing at the center's job. The first call on backfield material found the everready Shanks calling signals. Daniels is the full back and Warne and Schillo. veterans of the Hammond hish school, are the halves. Shank, whose fighting ability Is well known Is a plunging quarterback and a good passer. Daniels, when given the proper Interference Is a clever open-field runner, and his work will be watched with much Interest. S'hlllo without a doubt Is the best runter ever developed in Hammond, while Warne. with his moving van experience, is beyond comparison. The Scats, who won their battle of the year 33 to 0 against the Englewood Crescents, are priming themselves for the coming mix-up with the Berwyn Sportsmen, and if only the weather man would behave a!l would be well in the Scatena camp. Scrimmage was on the bill for yesterday evening, but due to the continued rain, tly Scats were huddled together at Lou Cantwell's emporium, where Coach Jones dished some new Navy plays that looked like the real goods.

EEL FOUNDRIES TEAM WIN FIRST GAME
The first baaket ball game of the season was played Monday evening at the Lafayette gymnasium between the American Steel Founries team and the Shamrock A. C. Only a small crowd attended, due to the fact that the game was not advertised, being scheduled more as a practice game, but It resembled a championship game from start to finish. Both teams were playing in midseason form and the game was full of thrills from the go, there being only one point difference In the score from the first quarter on, each side leading alternately. Scott and Cunningham starred for the Shamrocks. Scott was all over the floor and half the air at all times and pulled the ball down from all angles to block throws for the basket. Cunningham put the ball into the net with almost Impossible shots. The Foundry's team, newly organized this year, put up a fine brand of basketball and every player deserves individual mention. Wes. Powley of last year's high school team was the heavy scorer for the Foundries, bflng credited with six field goals. Green at center proved a valuable factor at all times. He had to leave the game in the third OuartP" due to a sprained ankle, but YANKEE FLOCK OF By DAVIS J. WALSH. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE NKW iOKls., Oct. 11. lc offices of the New York Yankees have become, overnight, a clearing house for humors and counter rumors the most plausible of which is that Edward G. Barrow, now business manager, will replace Miller Huggins as the active leader of the ball club. This comes from semi-official sources and as such, is worthy of credence. The others are guesses, merely that. They profess to provo as fact that Carl Mays, Aaron Ward and Norman McMillan are to be traded to the White Sox for Dick Kerr and Eddie Collins, the latter to be made manager of the club; that Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel are to be knocked down to the highest bidder that "Bullet" Joe Bush is to be Sent on his way at, punishment for his outbreak ayalnst Huggins in tho eighth inning of Sunday's world series game and that Ruth, If not sold or traded. Is to have his contract revised. Meantime, Jake Ruppert, , diplomatic as always, has issued a statement to the effect that Huggins can stay "if his health permits." We have an idea that Huggins' "health" will make this Impossible. Ruppert does not hold Hugjrlns responsible for the terrible playing of the Yanks In the world'3 series. No sane man can. But he may be made to yield to pressure and the fact that Huggins is.understood to desire an owner's berth In the American Association might further influence the colonel. Huggins or no Huggins, however, the Yanks are in for an overhaulin". That i n 'if as slow rioison.

Playing in a drizzling rain, the Indiana squad romped through a strenuous signal drill yesterday, perfecting its formations for the attack to be launched in the first conference offensive against Minnesota at Indianapolis next Saturday. Three teams were in action during the work-out, which was the fastest this season. France and Howard, linemen, are the only regulars still in the hospital. Coach Whalen, who scouted the Gopher-Carleton scrap, will have the freshmen ready for scrimmage today. The scout brought back word that the Hoosier eleven will have to show Improvement in order to hold its own against the scrappy Minneapolis team. Wolverine B. B.

The team has been working out for the last three weeks, and were to play Crown Point American Legion last Sunday, but the weather was the only thing that stopped the west side boys from showing their skill against the Hub City eleven, who last year defeated the local team by a score cf 13 to 0.

DEDFORD SHIRTS ROLL 2930 FOR 3 GAMES Several new marks were hung up last night at the Jackson Park alleys. One of thosj marks was hung UP by the Bedford Shirt team, which is a Hammond team, shooting under that name. In the first game they cracked the maples for a count of 1,000 even and in the second game, 974 and the last game, 956. making a grand total of 2.930 pins.

To date the Bedford team holds high team series, .2930. Captain Handy holds the high series for three games, 641. and also the high individual average for three games, which is 213 2-3. If this club keeps on going the way they have been going they will dynamits the league.

The East Chicago Dodger football aggregation, after winning two hard games, one from the Roseland Rosebuds and the other from the South Chicago Whales claim they cannot get any more games in their division so they are piling on more weight and will try the middle weight division. Thy feel that they are entitled to & ;ame with the East Chicago Gophers. They have been after the management of the Gophers several times asking for games. The management refused them several times, and In refusing them it stirred up a lot of rivalry amongst the fans. The word was sent out that the .Gophers were afraid to play the Dodgers, etc. We will admit that they have a fairly Kood team, with suc'.i men as Conroy, Williams, Quasni and Quinn In the backfield, but the men being from the same end of the city, the Gopher manager could not see how two teams from East Chicago could draw any gate. The thing has been worked up so mongst the fans that several have come to blows. In order to satisfy the demand of the fans the Gophers agreed to play the Dodgers. In weight the Dodgers have the poundage over the Gophers. In a statement made to the Times and headed by Larry George, that the Dodgers averaged 160 pounds. The Gophers weighed in for the Warren A. C. on Sunday at 1:30 p. m.. and the team with the extra players averaged 149 pounds. This gives the Dodgers a handicap In weight of 11 pounds to a man. The Dolgjrs have played two games, while the Gophers have only played one game and that was Sunday, which was one of the worst days In the history of the Twin Cities. It has been rumored that the Dodgers are going to stack something awful for ihls game. They have engaged a professional from Milwaukee who will play tackle. The Gophers will play with their regular lineup, no outsiders will be permitted. A new addition hi been made to the Gophers, and that Is Blub Bloomenthal. He will probably be out in a wek or so. It is a pity that the two teams can't get together and make one it. It is no the faun of the Gophers In any way. Dumpie Jones, who last yaar helped pilot the Gophers is now managing the Dodgers. Is managing the Dodgers because he was left out of the Gophers lineup. It was a case of Jalousy and In taking over the Dodgers he thought he could break up the Gophers, but Jones was out of luck. The Gophers have started their season and will continue to go. Jones started a lot of trouble amongst the fans which caused a lot of hard feeling, but the tables have turned. Instead of the fans being with Jones, they are sticking with the Gophers. The fans f.re waiting for Sunday, and the nlayers are on nervous edge, because this will be one of the hardest fights that a football team ever undertook. This will be one of the herdest fcught football games in the career of either team. The Gophers will practice in secret the coming wek as It will be necessa-y to change all the signals on the account of a frw ex-Gopher players who are acquainted with the signals. Captain Uirrow will use the same backfield as he dH in Sunday's game, and with a little Improvement on the line th Gophers will have a defense that will represent the rock of Gibralter. Glenn Batchelor, who went into last Sundav's game In the second quarter, has made himself a regular berth on the Gopher team. Herbie Hill. Chuck Lloyd. Glenn Batchelor ind Zimmerman have all been put In s regulars. The game on Sunday will find the fans about evenly dlvUd, and b unto tb

than you could shake a stick at. Coach McShane is putting his men through somt hard pi act ice, cause Pat has his heart t on this game, and if his crew should defeat the last year champs of the Mid-West League, it "ill be on of his g'at. est ambitions accomplished. Pat ig a little sore on account of a little indifference he had with fans while he was coaching the' last year champs. Pat resigned and from then on it has been his ambition to get a team out and defeat the Gophers. He claims it will be a Dodger team only, and he is not stacking up for the occasion. Rumors are flying that men on the Gophers have been offered money to lay off for the coming fracas. One of the players immediately reported to his captain. Manager Pollack of the Gophers does not believe that Pat MsShane is aware of this, and if Pat finds out who is causing this he will surely put a stop to It. The Gophers are taking this game on, not of choice, but of being agitated by some of the Dodger fans. The Gophers were never known as quitters, and they will not stand for anything like what l.as been going on in the last few days. Can you imagine any one like Billy Cleary, Dr. Clarence Steffes. Bobble Darrow, Oswego, Madura, or any of the old Gophers quitting. It made the old Gopher blood boll to think that a few who would not be recognized by the Gophers should throw a lot of mud and slurs. The boys got together and said there is only one way, we are now fighting for the name of the Gophers, so lets give them a game, and may the best team win. Three officials will be hire! for this occasion, a referee, an umpire and a head linesman. It looks like the Hammond Scats and the Gophers won't come together this season. Manager Cantwell of the Scats refuses to come to East Chicago and Manager Pollack refuses to take his club to Hammond. The most logical place to play would be East Chicago on account of the city being centrally located. The drawing power would be greater. Folks from Hammond, Whiting, Inldana Harbor, Gary and many other points can easily reach Ea'st Chicago. The Gophers have booked a game " . iiS Clothes Designed by

In their lineup they have a few college stars, namely Millikan and Little John. In the month of November will see one of the hirdest schedules for the home team. The Gary Elks will probably be on the Gopher schedule for a Sunday in November. A defeat for Gary will make East Chicago happy, as Gary has trimmed the Gophers on two occasions.
