BILL KLEM, BIG LEAGUE UMPIRE, BELIEVES FOOTBALL WILL STAY

Bill Klenj, one of the best umpires in the major leagues, does not believe the spitball will have passed out of existence when the baseball season Starts next spring. Klem is of the opinion that the magnates will decide to allow the pitchers who used the moist delivery last season to continue to do so next year and for the remainder of their stay in the big show. Like the majority of fans, Umpire Klem says it would be unjust to preBowli ing STANDING OF THE TEAMS Team Won. Lost. Pet.

VOL) EVER Or. A,KIIM5 r 7 it Tent such slabsters as Grimes, of the Brooklyns, Douglas of the Giants, Coveleskie of the Indians, Doak of the Cardinals and others who depend upon the wet delivery for the greater part of their effectiveness from using the spitter. He says "If the pitchers who were allowed to use the spitball delivery last season were forced to resort to another style of offerings next spring for effectiveness, I think the fans in major league cities would raise a protest. For instance suppose Grimes of the Brooklyns and Coveleskie of the Cleveland team had to rely solely on curves and speed next year, would the fans in these towns be satisfied? Among the players there has never been any great objection .to the use of the spitball. The emory ball and other freak deliveries which have been done away with were really dangerous to bat against and the majority of batsmen in the big leagues were glad that they were placed under the ban. "If it Is decided to put the spitter in the class with the barred deliveries the pitchers who will suffer by the rule will be robbed of their effectiveness, and as a result they will probably be easy marks for the batters and the career of each will be shortened. While I think it only fair to allow the spitballers now in the big leagues to use the delivery for the remainder of their stay in fast company, I db not believe that any more moist ball hurlers should be allowed to enter the big leagues and use the delivery. Let the delivery pass out of existence as those who use it drop out of the leagues." According to Klem, the demands of the National League umpires, which were sent to the national commission before the last world's series started, were met. It. will be recalled that before the fall classic began the National League arbitrators held a meeting and signed a petition in which they dei manded more pay for officiating in the i big games. The National League umj iires were supported by the American ! League officials. I Recently the Milwaukee club ff the j Aaierican Association proposed a trade that would - result in 'Art Butler and Joe Hauser going to the Kansas City club for Bunny Brief and Alex McCarthy. When the Milwaukee fans learned of the contemplated deal they raised a protest and the planned exchange of players has been temporarily held up. Last season Butler and Hauser were popular with the Milwaukee fans and they do not want to see them traded to another team. Ed Konetchy, the Brooklyn's first baseman, has returned his signed contract for next season to the offices of the club. .The document was sent to the veteran first baseman in St. Louis ! several days ago. The terms were not announced, but in view of the speed the player showed in attaching his signature it is believed that he received a substantial increase. Konetchy is the third member of the National league champions to sign for this year. Manager Wilbert Robinson was the first to sign a 1921 document, and later Ivan Olson attached liis signature to a contract. Missouri Football Playe Goes to Game in Airplane (By Associated Press) KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 23. Dr. Joseph A. Reilley, of the Kansas City Athletic Club, who will be headlinesman in the football game tomorrow between the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri, at Columbia, will journey to the game in an airplane.

ILLINOIS MAY PLAY HARVARD NEXT YEAR (By Associated Press) URBANA, 111., Nov. 25. Agitaton by students at the University of Illinois and by football devotees all over the middle west for a game between Harvard and Illinois has moved George Huff, director of athletics of the University of Illinois to promise efforts in the direction of scheduling a game between the two elevens next year. Interest in the proposal has been on the rise since a year ago when Harvard offered the Illinois team a date for a game to be played at Harvard. Illinois requested that Harvard repay the compliment by acepting a return engagement at Urbana. Harvard did not express a willingness to do this and the proposal was dropped until public sentiment has induced Director Huff to take further action. WANT GOLF TOURNEY. (By Associated Press) TOLEDO.

Two hectic months of football having been indulged in the collegians of Indiana are now. ready for the final games of the season in which Hoosier teams will play Thursday. Only two Indiana colleges have followed the old custom of scheduling Thanksgiving day games, the others having closed their schedules with games last Saturday. The games to be played Thursday are the following: Wabash and Marquette at Indianapolis. " Notre Dame and Michigan Aggies at East Lansing. Notre Dame followers will await the outcome of the game with the Aggies with considerable interest, inasmuch as a victory means a clean sweep of this season's contests and also a record of eighteen consecutive wins. The Notre Dame eleven has every reason to be confident of winning the final game but Coach Knute Rockne, realizing the upsets that frequently happen in the gridiron game, has been working his team np until the last minute in preparation for the closing contest. Wabash followers were disappointed at the -3 to 0 defeat of their team by DePauw Saturday, hut were well satisfied with the game fight of the Scarlet players. Fumbling and some poor head work marred the playing of the Wabash eleven but many of the players were handicapped by inexperience on the gridiron. Little is known here of the strength of the Marquette eloven but fans who remember the close contest of last season which Marquette finally won 13 to 6 are expecting a good exhibition at Washington Park here Thursday. Last Saturday's contests cleared away all doubt a3 to the state championship. Notre Dame has a clear claim to the state title by virtue of its victories over both Purdue and Indiana. Indiana holds second honors by winning from Purdue although the Boiler Makers made the Crimson work hard for victory. Butler holds the championship of the I. C. A. L., while DePauw looms up as the leader of the secondary schools outside the league. PEORIA BUILDS PARK. (By Asrtciated Press) PEORIA, 111., Nov. 23.

The seating capacity will be 10,000. WESTERN ELEVENS SETTLE RIVALRIES (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Nov. 25. Thanksgiving day football games In the west today offered a mixture of intersectional and local struggles the latter generally being annual contests between old rivals. Washington state university faced Nebraska at Lincoln in one of the leading games of the day. with the Corn Huskers a slight favorite because of their heavier team. Rutgers meets Detroit at Detroit in another intersectional game with the invaders this case generally favored to win? The strong Notre Dame eleven closes its season with a game against Michigan aggies at Lansing, Mich. On the season's showing, Notre Dame was picked to win handily. Missouri and Kansas universities in their annual battle have as an additional incentive a chance at the Missouri valley conference title. Should Oklahoma lose to Drake the title would fall to the winner of the Missouri. Kansas game. Drake rooters had little hope for a victory though as Oklahoma has not been defeated this season and has generally been regarded as the strongest team in the valley conference. Case and western reserve line up at Cleveland for their annual turkey day contest and at St. I Louis, Washington university (of St. Louis) and St. Louis university meet in their annual battle.
