Football Pays
|. u. Bills

8H Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, March
20.-Football last fall brought
Indiana University a net profit
Of $36,22020 and from a finan-
cial standpoint proved the most
successful in the history of in
tercollegiate athletics at the
University. The net profits
from football were $4,000 in ex-
cess Of the profits from the pre-
vious year.
Football pays the expense of
nearly all sports at the uni
versity. Returns from the 1924
season are being applied to this
purpose and to a debt of $1,000
carried over from the previous
year.
The Indiana University ath-
letic authorities stated that any
balance would be turned back
into improving the athletic
equipment Of the university. A
new field house seating 10000
persons is now projected as the
next major addition to the ath-
letic facilities.

ERTAIN ball clubs often
hold sort of spell over
other teams. That is, one
club may, be particularly easy PICK
ing for another, regardless of
their respective standings in the
league. Obviously, pennants are
sometimes won and lost in this
manner, the feat working both
ways.
Back in 1909 the Chicago Cubs
held such a hand over the Boston
Braves. In the twenty-five games
played between the two teams
that season the Cubs won all but
one. That. according to the rec
ords, is the most games one club
ever won from another during a
seasons play.
In the American League Bos-
ton, in 1904, whipped Washington
twenty times to but two defeats.
and the Athletics turned similar
trick on st. Louis in 1911.
~ ABE ADAMS, veteran Pitts
Xxi burgh pitcher, took part in
nine games during the 1924
season. He was credited with three
victories and charged with one de
feat. He pitched forty innings all
told.

DUNN IS NAPOLEON
OF INTERNATIONAL

Having won all there was to WIN
in the International League for the
seventh straight season, those per
petual champions of Jack Dunn gath
cred added laurels for Baltimore by
winning the junior worlds series from
the Louisville team Of the American
Association. The Orioles did not get
away very fast at the start of the
series, but once under steam, there
was no stopping them. The series
was decided five games TO three.
Dunn's record.making run of pen,
nant successes in the international
League dates to 1919, when his team
gallopcd in with room to spare. Each
season since has been almost q 'lu
plicate, the Orioles generally run
ming far ahead of the field.
The 1925 conquest in the junior
series gave Baltimore an even break
of three series won and three lost
Dunn's team won the first inter
league series to be played in 1870
beating st. Paul. In 1921 Louisville
came out on top, but the next sea
son Baltimore downed st. Paul. Kan
sas City won the play in 1928, and St

BADGERS GUST
IOWA FROM
RUNNING
Kutsch's Absence From
Lineup Sorely Felt;
Score, 60.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Nov. wis
consin's also-rans in the Big Ten
football race, took advantage Of Nick
Kutsch's absence from the Hawkeye
lineup and took Iowa University into
camp, 6 to 0, topping the Iowans
from their tie for first place.
A gale from the north which swept
the ball out of the players hands
and made kicking and passing impos-
sible, contributed in keeping the score
blank until the final period, when
Wisconsin punched over the lone
marker for the Bacgers' second Big
Ten victory in three years.
The Iowa offensive was lost without
the Flying Dutchman," and Fry and
Schirmer. Kutsch's scoring mates III
the Illinois and Ohio tits, failed to
make up for the SIOUX City phenom's
absence.
A blocked kick gave the Crimson
their only score early in the final pc
riod when Graham's kick went out OF
bounds on the Iowa 11-yard line, and
Harmon, Wisconsin fullback, plunged
over for touchdown. A high wind
made the kick for goal fall short.

BALL CLUB OWNER
FATTENS PLAYERS

J. Fl. Patrick, president of the Los
Angeles Club of the Pacific Coast
League. is ready to bid against Shy
lock for a pound of flesh. 1t might
be closer to the point to say that he
is bidding for seTeral pounds of flesh
for two members of his ball team.
Patrick feels that Clyde Beck,
young second baseman of the Angels,
would be $4,000 more valuable as a
player if he could put on about ten
pounds in weight. Finding that there
is no way of buying that kind of
flesh on TIE open market, he has
hit upon an idea of his own.
He has a big place on Catalina
Island and has invited Beck and his
wife to be his guests there for the
winter. 1t must not be assumed that
young Mr.. Beck and his frau do not
eat well when they are at large, but
Patrick believes that the outdoor life
and everything win agree with him
and that he can add to his poundage
by long stay on the island.
The same offer has gone out tc
Ray Jacobs, another of his star young
infielders and his wife.
The 200-game schedule in the
Coast League just about saps these
fellows and Patrick will lay before
them a lot of juicy steaks with the
hope of putting some padding OIL
their ribs.
This, perhaps, is the first time il
the history of baseball that a clut
president has undertaken to fatten III
his stock in this manner.

Good sunny weather will have to

to allow us one or two days to work

nit play on it when it's wet; it would

Adolfo Luque, of the Reds; Dazzy
Vance, of the Robins, and Harold
Carlson. Of the Phillies, in the Ma

Lyons blanked the Yankees twice,
The Red Sox twice and the Senators
pnce. Two of Luque's shutouts, over
the Giants and the Braves, were won
American Leaguers scored one or more
shutouts, and an equal number of
National Leaguers used the white
wish brush on one or more occasions.
The list of shutouts this year shows
That Cincinnati pitchers BANKED all
the clubs in the league one or more
times, while the Boston Braves were
shut out at least once by the other
seven clubs.
In the American League the cham
Mon Senators shut out every other
club in the circuit, and the Red Sox
had the doubtful honor of being held
scoreless at least once by every club.
The Yankees were in class by them
selves in regard to shutouts. They
were BANKED by their rivals a dozen
times in 1925.
