TWO foot ball leagues, one for
135-pound class teams and the
other for 150-pound elevens,
are to be conducted the coming
campaign by the same officials
as handled the Capital City League
base ball league competition during the
ceason just closed.
This was decided last night at con-
ference between Bill Flester, secretary
of the French Co. League, which had
started preparations to reorganize the
leagues which it fostered last season
with marked success, and Capital City
League officials. Flester was made
director of the Capital City League
and Arthur A. Haywood of the Post
sports staff, secretary of the league,
will supervise the conduct Of the two
series.
The eight teams which applied for
franchises last night in the 135-pound
class loop were Northern Props, Brook
land A. c.. Columbia A. c., Carlisle
A. c., PetWorth A. c.. Stanton Props.
Peerless A. c.. Kennedy and Anacostia
Eagles. The league probably will en-
brace 10 teams. The loop schedule will
open october IA and strict rules will
govern the series. Players must not
weigh more than $50 pounds and each
club will be allowed not more than 25
players. No teams will be allowed
| players who have not performed for
| these teams prior to the first series
game in November.

teams Will be held teH'ghs ct 9 e'eleei

Little World Series Is Due
To Be a Hard-Fought Affair

has been through world series, and he
will have the personal assistance, both
as player and counselor, of Hank Cow
dy. who also has been under world
series fire.
The Indianapolis team has a world
series player in Emil Yde, pitcher, who
was formerly with Pittsburgh, but Yde
hardly carries in him the experience
and base ball information that is pos
sessed by Gowdy and Southworth.
Herman Bell, the pitcher who won q
Rochester in the closing games of the
race. was major league pitcher with
the st. Louis Cardinals in 1927, with a
habit of being hit in a pinch-exactly
the reverse of the pinch-hitter who hits
IN a pinch. Vic Keen. another expert
enced pitcher with Rochester, formerly
played with the Cardinals, and before
that with the Chicago Cubs.
Rochester began the season with a
weak batting team, but was nearing
the top Of the league at the finish.
1t is not as good a fielding team as It
could be. If it loses the little world
series it may be the result of not being
able to stop hard batting successfully.
The Rochester team Is apt to be cooler
under fire in the little series than the
indianapolis team. That may help, al
though red-hot batting is more eff
fective In a red-hot series. The In
dianapolis outfield may prove to be
better than that of Rochester. Ameri-
can Association fans think that 1t
will be.
Birmingham Plays Houston.
The Dixie series will be played be-
tween the Birmingham club OF the
Southern Association and Houston of
the Texas League. The Birmingham
team has been good all of the season
and should have won both halves of the
Southern Association race. Houston
won the first half of the Texas League
race and lost the second half to
Wichita Falls. but the Houston players
had little trouble winning the post
season series. just as Birmingham had
little difficulty in defeating Memphis
in the post-season games.
Minor league base ball for the most
part has gone fairly we'll in 1928, and
perhaps would have done better IL some
of the minor owners had not divided
the seasons Of their league.

BACKS GIVE THRILLS
TO FOOT BALL FANS

No matter how much Of the work Is
done by the linemen, it is the ball car
rier who produce most of the activity
en- the part of the cheer leaders. No
coach has to drill the eyes of the spec
tators to follow the ball.
When the foot ball season actually
opens the fans will eagerly be looking
for such backs as eagle Of the Army,
WEIGH of Purdue. Marsters Of Dart
mouth, Carney of Yale. Wittmer of
Princeton, Guarnaccia of Harvard and
Niemiec of Notre Dame.
AS Knute Rockne says, "the crowd
gets its thrills from watching somebody
carry the ball somewhere
eagle and Masters were two of the
great backs of the country last season.
They were stars in year which pro-
duced dozens of great backs. Each of
them is an all-around foot ball player
and may be counted upon to add to
his reputation in coming games.
With such competition as there is
today q man must be great player
indeed to stand out above the rest, but
somewhere are the youngsters who be-
fore their college days are over will be
hailed as Thorpes, Coys, Mahans, Oil
plants, Gipps, Eckersalls or Thornes.

SMOOTH OFFENSE
Coach WiIce Is Making Sure
His Charges Will Get
Plays Straight.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO. September 25.-Ohio
State, the 1927 door mat OF
the Western Conference, may
~ not improve its rating, but DR.:
John w. Wilce Is determined
it will not be because Of any lack OF
.smoothness of attack.
While other Big Ten coaches have
been sending their charges through
long, hard scrimmage periods DR.. Wllce
has been grounding offensive funda-
mentals into the Buckeye hopetuls.
Signal calling and execution OF plays
occupied both the morning and after
noon sessions yesterday.
Neither the "a" nor "B" squads en-
gagged in scrimmage. After long
chalk talk Coach Wilce took the men
out on the field and explained various
formations, drilling the first stringers
until they executed each play with the
degree of accuracy and timeliness that
a powerful offensive needs.
AS the Ohio State mentor was teach
ing Coach Jimmy Phelan was feeling
around for men to bolster the Purdue
defense. He shifted his linemen back
and forth and then sent them to an
other part of the field to receive in
structiOns in blocking and tackling.
With yesterdays two workouts the
twice-daily practices came to an end
at Wisconsin, where Coach Glenn
Thistlethwaite has divided his 30 men
into two squads.

Non-Scouting Idea Not Liked
By Big Majority Of Colleges

Yale will continue its non-scouting
policy"
Capt L. NJ Jones-a name "Bif sell
dom hears-expressed himself as cheer-
fully carrying out the policy OF his
athletic board in refusing to even peep
at a Yale formation before game time,
but frankly does not want more than
enc contest in the dark.
81 think 1t sounds better than 1t works
out" he said. Especially in early sea-
son games is it helpful to have some
idea of what the opposition is likely to
spring It Is necessary, of course, to be
prepared for almost anything when
one meets teams from every section OF
the country, but it helps t. have an ink
ling of the way your opponents nave
gene about their Job in previous games"
"Biff" suggested that 1t is a strain on
the emotions to 60 out to play a game
against an opponent with the only
players jerseys.
Yale Springs SHIFT.
1.-THE night before the Army-Yale
game last year" said the Army coach
reminiscently, II was convinced from
chat with Tad that if he despised any
thing in foot ball 1t was any form OF
shift plays I nearly fell off the bench
the next day when Yale lined UP with
shift, modified, it is true, but never
theless a shift
"You didn't tell them, Biff," reminded
Tad, that early in the week you wrote
me you had gone back to your shift"
The far-flung area, of foot ball ter.
ritory covered by Notre Dame makes
its scouting system expensive from a
standpoint of railway fares alone. but
as its scouts are former Notre Dame
players. travelling is no novelty to them.
Chided as to the many miles covered
by his players. Rockne came back with
the observation that "a foot ball player
can study his text books just as ZEAL
ously in a Pullman berth as in his
dormintory bed at home-if he wishes"
He added: Travelling is broadening,

BROWNS GET DOZEN
BUSH LEAGUE STARS

ST. LOUIS, September IS P.-
Business Manager Bill Friel OF the st.
Louis Browns has ordered a dozen
Minor League stars to report to the
Florida training camp next Spring, as
a further step in building up the st.
Louis Club. The building up process
was started late lest Fall and it bore
fruit in the surprising showing made
by the Browns this season.
Among the lot are three Tulsa play
ers. Dondero Badgerow and Grimes.
who are hitting .370: 1881 and 1897
respectively in the Western League.
Chad Kinsey of Tulsa also has been
purchased. Friel also grabbed what he
considered the cream OF the Wichita
Falls Club which battled Tulsa all year
for the title. These players are Dam
ming, catcher, now with the Browns;
Tom Jenkins. outfielder, lcft-hander;
Herbert Cobb, right-hand pitcher;
George Stanton, first bassman, left
handler: Ed Roetz, shortstop and Joe
Suvid right-l1and pitcher.
Additional pitching strength was OBJ
tanned in the shape of Warren Collins
and Claude Jonnard from Toronto.

Loses Fight, but Keeps Title

at his hotel and then left for his home
in Rockford. Ill. He probably will be
unable to fight for several months.
There was little to choose between
the two boxers as far as the fight
progressed. Mandells popping left jab
was landing with monotonous regu-
larity on Goodrich's features up until
the time when the latter crashed over
the right. The champions left arm
went limp and he paved out feebly
with his right until the round ended.
It was the second time in his career
that Mandell has lost to Goodrich. The
first meeting was part of the light
weight elimination contest conducted
by Tex Richard in 1925 to choose a
successor to Benny Leonard, retired
lightweight champion. 1t ended in the
sixth round when the Buffalo boxer was
awarded the victory on foul.
Subsequently, Goodrich went on to
win the tournament and a claim to
the title. He was later defeated by
Rocky Kansas, who in turn lost TO
