ment by David l.. Fultz, president of
the international League. Fui.z. the first
minor league chief to publicly oppose the
plan being advocated by John Heydler
and eleven major league club owners.
said the "Lasker plan" benefits only the
major leagues.
He objected to having the minors
placed under a GOVERNING body in the
choice Of which they have no voice He
argued that the minors have more money
invested. cover more territory and have
more players than the major leagues and
they are very successful under their pres
ent government.
The 'Lasker plan" he said. pro
vides that the board Is to be composed
Of men Of national repute. The greater
the national repute of the men selected
the less they will know about the legis-
iRtion, the customs and traditions OF the
game and the peculiarities OF the players.
IF the majors wish to re-establish
relations with the minors they must sub

JOHNNY EVERS
NEW PILOT OF
CHICAGO CUBS
Veteran Returns to Old Team
as Manager for Second
Time.
MITCHELL IS OUSTED

CHICAGO, Oct. 28-Johnny Evers,
famous second baseman of the Chicago
Cubs in the days when Frank Chance
was manager, today was appointed man
ager of the Chicago National League
club. He succeeds Fred Mitchell, who
has managed the team for the last four
years. Tt is said Mitchell probably will
handle another major club.
Official announcement of Evers' ap-
pointment was made by William L.
Veeck, president of the Cubs. Veeck did
not announce the terms under which
Eyers takes over the control of the north
side club. 1t is understood Eyers' con-
tract is for one year.
This will be the second time Evers
has pilobed the Cubs He was manager
of the club in 1918. In 1914 he played
second base for the Boston Braves when
they won the worlds championship
Last yea= Evers was assistant to John
McGraw of the New York Giants during
most of the season. taking over the Job
when Christy Mathewson was forced to
retire because Of i'll health.
1t has been reported for several
months that Mitchell would not be re-
tanned next year and there has been
much speculation as TO his successor.
The name Of Evers had scarcely been
mentioned, however, and announcement
of his appointment came as a surprise.

Chicago meets Ohio State at Chicago
Saturday. These two teams have not
been defeated this year. The winner will
have i st ong claim to first hOnors in
the Big Ten Conference, but, of course,
Illinois University VIII have something 60
say about that championship honor.
Purdue defeated De Pauw, but lost to
Chicago and Ohio State. Wabash won
from Pennsylvania and Rose Poly, but
lost to Chicago. Purdue and Wabash
meet at Lafayette Saturday.
Coach Evans of Manual has developed
a powerful line at the South Side school.
Coach Erehart also has given much at
tention to the forward wall of his Tech
meal High School team. These teams
clash Friday and the playing OF the line
men may be the factor that will bring
victory TO one of the schools. Watch the
line men charge low and hard, and give
those line men credit for most of the
gains made by the back field.
Coach Julius of Shortridge has shift
ed Riley to quarter. Riley played left
half back at ShOrtridge, and the way
that boy kept going in the Brazil game
indicated he is a real football player. He
has the fight, and as quarter back he
will put the pep into the Blue and White
team which will give the Indianapolis

High School
Stroll, right end at Franklin College,
In the game against De Pauw last sat
urday, gave the best exhibition of speed
in going down the field under punts and
tacKl;ng that any end has shown this
season. He did the same thing against
Indiana University in the first game Of
the year. The play of stroll stamps
him as one of the best ends in the State
this season.
The weather Is cold and this means
more pep will be shown by the football
players In their games Friday and Sat
urday. The season is almost half over
and the important games of the year are
really just starting. Therefore the coaches
will uncover their trick plays and open
up against their opponents this week.
This means that football will be more
interesting to watch during the remain
ing games of the year.
Butler has been going big this year,
Coach Pat Page has developed q team
the equal OF which has not represented
the indianapolis college In many years.
Butler plays Georgetown at the Butler
athletic field Saturday. The Kentucky
team IS famous for its speed and trick
plays and the game In Irvington is sure
to be well worth seeing.
