Wiley Moore to
Receive Another
=
Boost in Salary

NEW YORK, Oct. 10-Wilcy
Moore will be one of the high priced
pitchers of the game nextyear When
he came to the Yankees this spring
a farmer prospect of no known
ability, he was given a $4,000 con-
tract. From the start he was an
asset. Soon he came to be known
as the greatest relief pitcher in the
game.
Along about August, Moore went
to Miller Higgins and, with no
little hemming and having and a
mounting embarrassment asked:
"Do you suppose you can get me
$500 more this year," Higgins said
he didn't know, but he'd ask Colonel
Rupert. The following week Moore
had a new contract. 1t called for
$4,000 covering the full season.
After watching him save a game
for Waite Hoyt and win another for
himself in the 1927 series, the
colonel admitted he was worth more
than $4,000. So next year the Okla
homa farmer, who imagined he had
risen to Rockefellerian affluence
when he got his first Yankee con-
tract, will get a new one, and it will
call for $4,000 or better.
He's worth it. The colonel says
so, and the colonel has a human
sort of way paying the athletes what
they are worth.

feats were all the more remarkable
because he was the flop of 1926.
Took Punch at Babe
Mark Koenig is constituted pc
culiarly. He hides his grievances
until they pop out all over him and
then he runs wild and woolly.
In his first year with the Yanks,
he stepped up and swung at Babe
Ruth because he fancied the teams
star slugger was razzing him. That
uprising made him solid with Babe.
Mark proved he could not and
would not be prodded too far. AS
a matter of fact his stand against
Ruth probably made permanent his
position as a Yankee regular.
Then came the series between the
Yanks and st. Louis Cardinals last
year. Mark was dreadful. He was
worse than that In the seven
games he was at bat thirty two
times and he made four hits-an
average of .125. He had forty
chances in the field and muffed four
of them-an average of 900.
Was 49, Series Goat
1t was pointed out and riglltfully
that the difference between the
play of Koenig for the Yanks and
Tommy Thevenow for the Cardinals
gave st. Louis the edge in that
close series.
And thus when it became certain

Notre Dame to Clash With
Navy at Baltimore
Saturday.
PURDUE MEETS CHICAGO
Minnesota Is Big Favorite to
Down Indiana.
BY CLARK b. KELSEY


CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Having
worked the kinks out of their
systems in practice clashes, mid
western football teams today pre-
pared for games which mean
something"
Football contests scheduled for
next Saturday may determine i'm
portant championships.
Notre Dame, playing the Navy at
Baltimore, will get a test determin-
ing whether the 1927 Rockne-
coached squad may hope for another
national football title.
Northwestern, playing Ohio State
at Columbus, meets the toughest foe
on its schedule, and the victor in
this contest is likely to smash
through the Big Ten to a cham
pionship.
"Stagg Fears Purdue"
Purdue, dark horse of the confer
ence, meets its ancient rival, Chi
cago, and the slogan, "Stagg fears
Purdue" never was truer. The
Boilermakers beat the Maroons for
the first time last year and the team
that beat Harvard Saturday should
not fear the team that represents
the veteran Chicago coach this
season.
Another, and perhaps more i'm
portant, elimination contest IS
scheduled at Madison, where Wis
consin takes on Michigan. Michigan
is given a big edge, but the Badgers
who marched over Kansas last Sat
urday may surprise the experts.
Minnesota plays Indiana, and
with Herb Joesting back in the line
up to crash the line there should be
little doubt as to the outcome.
One game, which was expected to
be an important contest, has turned
out to be lust another intersec-
tional game" Drake, badly drubbed
by the Navy, will meet Pittsburgh
at Des Moines Saturday. Pittsburgh
ran up a 4O-to-0 count against the
West Virginia Mountaineers Satur-
day.
Wabash at Iowa
Iowa plays Wabash at Iowa City,
and Illinois meets Ames at Cham
paign.
The game between Notre Dame
and Navy promises the biggest ma
tional thrill The team from South
Bend plays >elevens from practically
every quarter of the country dur
ing it's season, and in the Navy
meets what remains of one of the
best collection of gridders in the
country last year.
lJotre Dame plays Southern Cali
fornia here Nov. rs, and if the
Fighting Irish" can down the Navy
that Nov. rs tilt may develop into
national championship affair.
The Ohio northwestern game
promises to be all the more inter-
esting because of the desultory show
ing made by both teams last Satur-
day. Both won by 10 to 6 scores.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-10-10

the Yankees and Pirates would
meet this year there was scarcely
sports writer that did not COM
pare Koenig unfavorably to Glenn
Wright, the Pittsburgh shortStop.
The composite box score shows
that during the 1927 series, Koenig
hit safely nine times in eighteen
trips to the plateau average Of
500. He handled fourteen chances
afiield without an error-an aver
age of 1000. He made three more
hits than any other player on either
club and only Babe Ruth had more
total bases.
Wright, on the other hand, batted
at a .154 pace and fielded at .947.
Thus the San Francisco boy,
completing his second year in the
majors, has reason to be proud.

Tribesmen Select Plant City for
Spring Training Camp Next Year
Indians Going Back to Florida in 1928; Thirty or More
in Player Squad.

Plant City, Fla, will be the 1928
training camp of Bruno Betzels
Indians, it being the same spring
home the Tribesmen used under
Ownie Bush in "a and '25. Secre-
tary Clauer made the announce
ment today concerning plans for
next year and stated there would
be thirty or more players in the
Tribe squad that would head to the
far South around March 1.
The Hotel Plant, a new and
modern hostelry, will be head
quarters for the Hoosiers while they
go through their practice PAGES in
the strawberry city on the Dixie
highway.
Other Camps Near BY
Plant City is ideally located for
the business of getting ball club
in shape, owing to the fact that it
is in the midst of several big league
camps and Secretary Clauer started
today to line up exhibition dates.
Games will be played at Plant City
and elsewhere.
Arrangements for the Tribe spring
camp were made by Owner Perry
and Clauer, and E. H. Thompson,
Plant City city manager, and Sam
Addison, one of the chief boosters
in that town. Plant City is between
Tampa and Lakeland and is a
thriving hI1cinncc pnntnr
The Indians trained in Sanford,
Fla, last spring and at Hot Springs,
Ark, in 1926. The only objection
to Sanford was the fact it was not
in the big spring training area of
the Sunshine State.

A young sophomore from Texas,
Ralph WEIGH, who filled the place Of

Purdue sprang the biggest sur

IN the opening game of the
- world series, I sat on the
Pittsburgh bench, chatting with the
great little manager of the Pirates
always have had the greatest
admiration for Bush, a former
American League star. I umpired
the first game he played in the
American League, when he joined
the Detroit Tigers late in the fall of
1908 and saved the pennant for
them by his remarkable play at
short.
Always aggressive, with coolies OF
courage, Bush was ever man OF
strong opinions. An umpire might
have rumpus with him today but
tomorrow the affair would be en-
tirely forgotten, the slate wiped
clean and new day started.

COMMUNISTS AND CzARISTS

In what is said to be his fiftyseventh manifesto,
the Grand Duke Nicholas, from his refuge in Paris,
calls upon Russian refugees to take courage and fore
tells the approaching fall Of the Boshevst regime in
Moscow
Despite an oppression hitherto unequalled in the
history of the whole world he says, the soul of the
Russian people has not been crushed, and its anger is
beginning to make itself felt, despite all Obstacles
The Grand Duke, who is outstanding soldier and
very intelligent man, may be right about the Moscow
crowd being the toboggan slide. An overthrow Of
them would be as natural the overthrow of the
czars But would it be any real benefit to Russia if
new czarst regime succeeded the Boshevst regime?
One form of oppression seems from this distance to
have been about as bad another. And Lenin at his
worst was mild and merciful compared with Ivan the
Terrible or even Peter the Great.
Revolutions tend to swing from extreme to ex-
tren1e like pendulum, until it finally settles down
about midway Russia will find the middle
course eventually But it will take a long time until
hc czarsts and communists cancel each other and give
the average RlSsiaus a chance.
