, Cleveland, O., Nov. 30. The Uni-h-risity of Pittsburj? football eleven ill meet the football team of the Cleveland naval reserves here. today In American League park. Weather conditions are mild and clear. The Pittsburg team arrived early last nls?ht and every man Is said by the captain to be in fine condition. One at the largest crowds that ver attended a local football game Is expected to be present. Sport Snap Shots BY JACK KEENE. i Some of the boys were swapping yarns the other aay about the "good old days' in baseball, when the talk drifted to the fights and near fights Of those days when there was none of the handshaking "ata boy" feeling between the clubs. "The greatest frght ever booked for a ball park was newer pulled off," said Big Bill Kingzett, who was rooting for Pittsburg in those days. "They talk about press agent stuff to get crowds nowadays," continued the big engraver. "That near battle between Bowerman and Fred Clarke was the best little bit of publicity ever pulled. "Bowerman and Warner were catching Matty and the rest of the boys on the Giant team. When Fred Clarko snd the Pittsburg team blew into the Polo grounds for a series, Warner, so everybody said, told Bowerman that Clarke had said something about Bowerman that wasn't exactly parlor talk. .' "Bowerman nailed Clarke In the clubhouse befare the series ended and smacked him cold. ; "When the Giants were due in Pittsburg for their next series the papers were full of what was going to happen to Bowerman. Clarke, everybody said, was going to lick the big backstop in front of the whole stand. The Pittsburg club hired a few hundred fpecial cops. There was a cop every three feet around the field. They backed up two or three patrol wagons at the exits to haul away the guys that they expected to get into the scrap. park was packed at noon. I got there at 11:30 and had to crowd in. "Bowerman caught every game of the series, if I remember right, and there wasn't the ghost of a fight. Bowerman was boo-ed every move he made. He'd turn around and answer the crowd with a large bow. "I think the New York bunch won the series and the clubs took in a for-! tune at the gate." T was lamping the latest averages of big league catchers today, and the thought bobbed up again as to how many persons give catchers credit i for helping to make great pitchers. Very few, probably because fltiey are Interested mostly in the pitchers. But great catchers in their day have p'ayed an important part in turning' ut great pitchers. One 1 rs a lot more about Old Hoss lwulbourne, McCormlck, Cy Young and other great fllngers than one does about Buck Ewing, Mike Kelly, Chief Zimmer, O'Connor, Barney Gilligan, little Xava and Bushong. Cy Young often said that Chief Zimmer and O'Connor deserved much nf the credit for his wonderful work with the old Cleveland club from 1890 1 o 1S!H Cy has said that many of the great victories for which he was given all .he credit, were achieved through the ability of those backstops. Mike Kelly was one of the brightest and quickest thinkers in the game, old-timers will tell you. One story of Mike's cleverness tells how he rushed from the bench in Boston one day and caught a foul from a Chicago player's bat which th-? Boston catcher could not have reached. As, Kelly ran for the ball, he yelled to the catcher. Bennett,: "You are ou Bennett, and I am in." In those days n player could be substituted for another at any time, but It remained for 1.-a11v trk fAnftctvo tliA Mao nf rVianafrifr while a batted ball was in the air.

DU H fJ made him a catcher to be feared by I the opposition. He was a terrific hitter and a speedy man on the bases. But first of all, he was a strategist. When Old Hoss Radbourne was startling the world with his pitching, Barney Gilligan and little Nava were catching his shoots with bare hands. His speed was terrific. The pain must have' been terrible until the hands of the backstops became pulled up and bruised to the point of numbness. Bushong was a dentist and had the soft, velvety hands of one. But day after day he handled the bullet delivery of Mc Cormlck, without flinching.

We may need the county and township councils in the future to help us solve some of the problems that may come to Indiana in the readjustment period of the war. "I am directed by Governor James P. Goodrich and the members of the State Council of Defense to express to you and to each member of your county and township councils of defense their sincere thanks for the faithful and devoted service that you have rendered to Indiana in the past 18 months.
