Regarded as vibrations, they pos

BY Eddie Ash

The fact that Bruno Bethel, cap
tain Of the Louisville Colonies for
four years, has been assigned the
task of plotting the Indianapolis ball
club next year, seems to have stirred
up a baseball hornets nest in the
Kentucky metropolis.
Colonel fans appear to be indulg-
ing in a stove league session that
has all off-seasons of the past backed
off the boards.
The wrangling has reached the
stage, it is said, where the sports
are throwing bank rolls Mt each
other making wagers on next sea-
sons A. A. campaigning of Indians
and Colonies.
Starts at Even Money
Bethel has many friends in Louis
vile and they are backing him to
lead his Hoosier nine ahead of the
Colonels in the 1927 race. The wag-
ering is even money now, reports
state, and owing to the mania the
average Kentuclian has for betting
on anything some members of the
Louisville sport fraternity predict
as much as 100000 will change
hands on the outcome of Indianapolis
and Louisville baseball during the
next pennant fight.
When Joe Mccarthy left the Col
onels to manage the Chicago Cubs,
Bethel and Catcher Bill Meyer both
made application for the Louisville
managerial berth, and Meyer got it,
It was touchy problem to handle
for President Knebelkamp. Bethel
and Meyer both were Louisville vets
and equally popular, though many
fans there took the stand that Bethel
held an edge In the affections of the
rooters and was the spark plug of
the team.
On the other hand Meyer, it
seemed, had been Joe McCarthy's
right hand man and chief advisor
on the bench.
Bethel did not sulk, however, when
he failed to land the pilotship and
played good ball all through the 1926
season. In fact his capable work
was a big factor in the Colonels' sue
cess in becoming pennant repeaters.
And Manager Meyer and Presi-
dent Knebelkamp rewarded Bruno
for his loyal playing by consenting
