We understand from a very
intimate source that Tom Mills,
the freshman coach at Notre
Dame University, is running a
very good race in the George
town University Football Coach
Sweepstakes.
Father O'Brien is very much
in favor of Mills, being highly
impressed with his personality.

understood that none other
than Knute Rockne has given
Mills a great recommendation

Notre Dame idea, it can't do
any better than listen to the
words of K. X. r.
Mills at the moment occupies
the position Of freshman coach

severe blow to the immediate
prospects of the Indiana inSti-

moulding their minds after the

idea and in general is q sort Of
big brother to them until they
can get the drift Of the Notre
Dame set-up.
SO Georgetown, il indeed it
is going Notre Dame, couldn't
get d man with a better back
ground to lay a Notre Dame
keel at the Hilltop and In time
perhaps have some OF the
great gridiron combinations
which have characterized Notre

winning football teams are
built.

quite apparent that Georgetown

North Carolina is going to hold

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Tne ~
lence in the case of Ruth versus
the New York Yankees Is all
but deafening, but nobody Is be-
ing kidded by the quasiinnocence
Of the situation, the New York
Yankees least Of all.
There Is, in fact, the makings
Of q fine, old Brannigan TO be
found in the question Of this
young mans salary for 1880 and
ensuing years, particularly II the
New York ball club attempts TO
be austere about 1t. This would
be a downright cornical way 70
treat q man who is indispensable
to ones success but, then, base
ball clubs never were distin'
suished in an intellectual sense
and the Yankees may be no
smarter than the next, which
means not at all.
am not in position TO speak
for Mr.. Ruth but venture to say
that his demand will be reason
able enough.
''You play ball with me
and I'll play ball for yOu,"
probably would express It.
Although nobody concerned has
committed himself on the subject,
1t generally is understood that
Ruth wants $85. 900 a season on
three year basis. This. Is q
whole lot more money than ordi@
nary men get for playing ordi-
nary baseball. But what would
you? I won't f1out your intelli-
gence by pointing out that Ruth
is no ordinary man.
He is the man who made pos
sible the winning Of six pennaHlts
and three world series in the last
nine years. He Is the man VINO
made the franchise so fabulously
rich that few can compete with
| it In the open market. He is the
man whose very personality made
| the Yankee stadium, the finest
baseball field ever conceived, pay
for itself. He Is the man to
whom baseball itself owes much
Of its success through the last
golden decade. With him, it went
to financial greatness undreamed
Of in the none too distant past.
| Without him. 1t might still be
laundering.
A matter of $85, 900 doubtless Is
q lot of money in anybody's
| racket, but not if you retain your
sense of comparative values. The
S25, 900 man Is not unknown to
baseball. Does any of them equal.
even one-quarter of Ruth'S value
to baseball? I think not.
How about the fighter who gets
q guarantee of 100000 for non
championship matches2 He gets
1t because he figures to bring it
back at the gate. / suppose We
either are to assume then that
Ruth won't bring it back at the
gate or that he doesn't deserve
to be as well treated as q prize
fighter.
It has been darby limited
that, If an alternative is neces-
sary, Ruth will become hold
out. II he does that, he win
have them licked.
They can't afford to start South
without him, because the exhibi-
ton games there not only pay the
rap for the training trip, but also
the first mortgage, I suspect, on
Mr.. Ruth's salary itself.
This was believed TO be SO when
Mr.. Ruth was drawing $4,000 q
year during the last three seasons.
and there Is no great reason for Q
change now. Mr.. Ruth no longer
Is as the antelope for agility out

FIX WORLD SERIES
DETAILS ON TUESDAY
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September THE i'm
presarios of the 1929 world series have
been called to Chicago for a meeting
next Tuesday to work out their plans
and schedule for the October classic
which will determine the world base
ball champions.
Kenesaw M. Lands, commissioner of
base ball, issued the call today, invit-
ing representatives of the seven clubs
In the two major leagues which still
have at least mathematical chance
OF winning the pennants. These clubs
are Chicago, Pittsburgh and New York
OF the National League and Philadel-
phia, New York, Cleveland and St.
Louis IN the American League.
While the Chicago Cubs and Phil
adelphia Athletics appear to have
virtually clinched the flags in their
leagues, Commissioner Lands decided
to risk nothing and in case the unex-
pected should happen the winning
clubs will know what its all about
Such details as the prices for tickets,
the starting times for the games, the
dates and similar important matters
will be worked out at the meeting.
1t is said that the series will open at
the home park of the National League
pennant winner on October 8, which
apparently means that the opening
game of the 1929 series will be played
on Wrigley Field, Chicago.

Jones Greatest of EN- AU.
Says Johnston, New Champion

DR.. Willing is great golfer. I knew
the only way I could beat him was to
play better golf and I certainly tried
hard today. 1t takes a certain amount
of good golf and lot of good breaks
to win from player like Dr. Willing
He is one of the most dangerous
match play golfers ever have met Just
beating him is an honor in itself. To
have won the national amateur cham
pionshlp from him is quite an achieve
ment. if you ask me.
I still can't help feeling sorry about
Bobby Jones. He would have been at
his best here today. Bobby is more
than golfer-to us, he is a real in
stitution Bobby never fails to have
word OF encouragement for all of us
and being beaten by Bobby Jones is
just like winning from any one else.
! am sure Bobby will be glad I won
today. He told me yesterday to try
hard. and I tried. I think this has
pionships I ever attended. I know it
is the best one have ever won.
California people have been very
courteous and hospitable. I hope they
hold the amateur out here again before
so many years and that Jess Sweetser.
Francis Ouimet, Cyril Tolley and other
fine golflng gentlemen may be more
successful in their attempt to win the
championship that yet can't quite
realize belongs to me.
don't like 18-hole matches. I don't
think the distance represents a true
test of golf. Bobby Jones can beat any
golfer in the world at 50 holes, not
even excepting Walter Hagen, and it
doesn't seem right that the greatest
golfer in the country should be elimi-
mated the first day of match play.
Bobby won't complain though, but q
man who has done as much for golf as
Bobby has Is entitled to every possible
break the game affords

~ARLos MOORE. a Young ri

~ARLOS MOORE. q young right
hand hurler, has been bought
for the Nationals from the
Birmingham club of the South
ern Association, but he will not
report to the big leaguers until they as
semble at training camp next year.
President Clark Griffith says the Wash
ington club is to pay the Barons
$40, 900 In cash and no players for the
completed yesterday in Birmingham by
Joe Engel, the Nationals lone scout.
According to Engels report to his
chief. Moore is a big youngster, stand
ing feet / and weighing about 1876
pounds He is said to be only 20 years
old. Moore Is a promising" pitcher
and not to be judged by his record
with the Barons this year, it seems. He
was not used until late this season
roles. Recently, though. he has started
games and impressed Engel with his
ability.
Carlos is not related to Andy Moore,
the hard-hitting Baron outfielder who
broke up an exhibition game in Bir-
mingham last Spring by seeking Sam
Jones for a homer. and who also is
slated to wear Washington uniform
next year.
Harold r. HeideIback. another young
pitcher recently signed by the Nationals,
went through workout yesterday at
Griffith Stadium. He comes up from
Gadsden, Ala. which is in the Georgia
Alabama League. and looks to be big
enough to make pitcher. He is more
than six feet tall and tips the scale at
1875 pounds. With Gadsden, the fourth
place team in the Georgia Alabama
circuit, Heidelbach won IL games and
lost II, eight of his defeats being by
one run. This is his first year in pro
ranks, although he has played semipro
ball about four seasons. He was born
in Lore City, Ohio. March %, 1907, so
is in his twenty-third year.

tege, also worked out with the Nation
