George Wiltse May
Become Manager

Unless the Jersey City fronchise of
the International league is trans
ferred to Brooklyn when circuit
changes are considered at the annual
meeting of the league next month, II
is probable that Syracuse will be
drafted from the New York State
league to all the vacancy In the In
ternational. and that George Wiltse.
veteran pitcher Of the Giants. will be
installed as manager.
Syracuse Is Wiltse's home. and
there Is hardly man in the city who
does not feel that Hooks" has been
a credit to the municipality. There
are no spots on his record Of 10 years
as a Giant
wiltse's pitching days are about
over. though he still possesses much
OF the skill that made him q star with
the Giants. As playing manager he
would probably choose first base as
his position.
Waivers were asked on Wiltse by
the New York club in September. but
no steps have been taken to dispose
OF the veteran. II would be up to
McGraw, and Wiltse is, therefore. GER

BUCKEYES EXPECT
TO TRIM FARMERS

ALLIANCE, 90, Nov. 6.--Mount
Union players are going to attempt
to spring the biggest sensation OF
their football season tomorrow when
they play the Michigan Aggies at
Lansing. Mount Union Is going to
make -red-hot stab for the victory.
This may sound queer, but never
theless IL Is true. The Alliance boys
showed all Kinds OF class last week
when they swamped Case 400. All
the royal purple needed was more
team work.
Dawson's interference and blocking
were not as smooth and effective as
they might have been. But then
Dawson has inst got through making

: The changes worked wonders with
the team. IL added the needed punch

Mount Union held the Aggies 1877
last year. The Aggies' $40 defeat by
Nebraska increases Mount Unions
confidence.
