CALDWELL LIKES YANKEES

CALDWELL LIKES 1ANNEbo
In dealing with the case 81 Bruce
Caldwell, Yale football, baseball and
basketball star, the New York
Yankees let it be known that they
are ready and willing to pay large
sums to Caldwell if he would sign
a contract
1t might be necessary to mention
that the Yankees are engaged pri-
marily in the baseball business, that
they recently made new record III
winning the American league cham
pionship and in knocking off the
Pittsburgh Pirates in four STRAIGHT
games in what is known as the fall
classic.
AS. it has been necessary 20 point
out that the main business, now at
least. of Col. Rupert, cWner of the
Yankees, is the manufacture oil
championship baseball teams, he
wouldn't want to put out this money
for the making OF baseball team
that had Yale basketball or footbail
star, because those Yale rams aren't
such customers unless he also hap
pens to be baseball star.
Caldwell not only is said TO BE
baseball star, but one OF the best
turned out in years, one as good
as Mac Aldrich, who turned down
a half dozen offers several years
ago. Like Caldwell, he was an in
fielder and he had the stands full
of scouts every afternoon Yale
played.
But Aldrich couldn't see professional
baseball He had some influential
friends playing around the stock
market and he went into business
with them. Caldwell is a poor boy
and he has to work, and therein
may be the difference Tor the
Yankees.
Anyway, they say Caldwell car
play baseball, and he has mad sOm'
staggering offers made him.
ABOUT GRID CAREER
Before Caldwell became an out ant
out non-amateur pro, the moguls o
professional football forgot some O
the things they had said about ethics
Caldwell has not turned protesslona
at Yale Princeton and Harvard
merely had said that he played on
game as a freshman at broWn anS
that as far as his future at Yal
was concerned he could continue u
play class baseball and basketball,
There were some offers made T.
have him play pro football but Tln
Mara, owner OF the New York Giants
refused to be a party to any suci
intrigue.
professional football" said sT-
Mara, will have nothing to do witt
Mr.. Caldwell until nes gets his diplom;
at New Haven"
Perhaps Big Bill Edwards also sal'
that. And Mr.. Pyle and Mr.. Ret
Grange. At any rate, Caldwell dlC
not go in Tor the pro racket las
fall when he was disQualified.
Now it is understood Mr.. Caldwel
wants to play pro, football at leas
two seasons He is Sure to be giver
a chance.
! which brings up the policy o
the baseball owners to lay off thu
bows until they get through school,
s.They might repudiate the contracts
/ if they get too smart" some say
"as it has been done. in the past"

Red Cross Roll Call Organization Effected
With Enthusiasm Shown BY Volunteers.
Neverin the history Of tie local chapter
Of the Red Cross has the annual koli Call
begun under better auspices, with better
oiled machinery or a more enthusiastic
set of volunteers. One of the notable
facts made known at the Organization
meeting was that every teacher in the pub

work so far as professional duties will
permit. This is rightly considered an
element of strength that will insure a
vigorous, energetic and highly satisfac-
tory campaign.
The two towns of the island have been
carefully districted and assigned, and the
rivalry between district canvassers al
