Knute Rockne arrived in South
Bend recently from his annual
coaching school trip through the
south and west, and at once
plunged into preparations for the
1929 edition of the serial entitled
THE Fighting Irish"
Rockne, like all good authors, is
his own severest critic, and de-
clines to enthuse over the forth
coming Notre Dame football ma
chine.
Fair, just fair" said Rockne.
How about these new halfbacks
especially this chap Schwartz from
the south?" he was asked.
Whole BackfieId Lost
yeah, how about losing our
whole backfeld," he parted.
your last years freshman team
was pretty hot, wasn't it?"
well, fair" said the coach.
Gust fair. Johnny Niemiec was a
good man, and so was Johnny
Chevigny, and Fred Collins, he was
a good man. But all three of them
are gone. You know they gradu-
ated."
The lines at the corners of the
coach's mouth took a distinct
downward turn, and you could see
that he was deeply grieved over the
departure of Fred and the two
Johnnies. He looked like he wished
there could be a law against allow
ing good backfeld men to graduate.

Elder Has Speed
How about this Johnny Elder,
Fair" replied the coach.
Fair? Isn't he fast?"
ooh yes, he's fast enough. AS I
say, he's fair. Quite speedy. In
fact I am rather counting on him
as a key man. Now if we had
Niemiec and Johnny"
"This chap Brill from Phila-

well, fair" conceded Coach
Rockne, quite fair"
And that's as far as the boss
could be prodded, at this time.

THIRD ROUND REACHED

FOREST HILLS, L. l., Sept. TO-
A rank outsider-the weather man
was holding his own today as play in
the mems national singles cham
pionships reached the third round
at the West Side Tennis Club.
Since the start of the 1929 tour
nament, last Saturday, Jupiter Plu-
vius has been doing his best to make
life miserable for the tournament
entrants.
Just as Mondays second-round
matches were nearing completion he
unloosed a volley of rain that
checked the last two matches and
his threatening clouds were again in
evidence today as the tfirty-four
remaining candidates for national
honors began the battle which was
to reduce their number to sixteen
by dusk.
The turf courts of the West Side
Tennis Club today we're little bet
ter than rectangles of slippery,
muddy grass.
Concluding his unfinished second
round match started Monday after
noon, George Lott, Of Chicago, de-
feated j. Gilbert Hall of Orange, N.
j., today, 1910, 6-3, 60.
Rain interrupted the match late
Monday with the score at IL in
the second set.
Halls fine service, his chief asset
Monday, refused to behave today
and numerous doublefault contri-
buted to his defeat.
Another postponed second-round
match to be completed was that be-
tween DR.. George King and Edward
Feibleman, both of New York. Their
match was interrupted Monday
with the score favoring Feibleman,
6-3. 6-3, 3-6, 2-5.
William Tilden, first seeded player
and favorite for the championship;
Frank Hunter, John Van Ryn and
John Doeg were among those who
rested Monday for their third-round
matches TODAY.

BIZ Times Special
TOLEDO, Sept. 1o.-Old Ferd
Schupp drew a tough assignment
here Monday when he pitched the
series opener for the Indians and
lost. to 3. the Hens getting all
their runs in the first inning when
two Tribe errors combined with four
hits gave the Stengelites just enough
markers to win with.
1t was a strange lineup the
Hoosiers used, Bejma, an outfelder,
being at third, and Pitcher BurWell
in right field. 1t seems there was
some miscalculation among the
Tribe executives. for Outfielder Rife
and Thirdbaseman Judd of the
Quincy club, failed to show up as

season owing to ailing health.
Anyway, it was a mISflt lineup
behind Schupp and the Hens took
advantage of the breaks. For in
stance, Wingard got three hits, two
being bunts and one a slow roller
because the left side of the Tribe
infield was out of gear with a rookie
stationed at third.
Big Day for Rabbit
The Indians made the contest
close, however, and despite the fact
they were held to six hits by Nc
Quillan, they made the home nine
realize it was no easy matter to
knock 'em of. Rabbit Warstler got
three of the six safeties and played
great ball in the field. He also drew
a walk. giving him a perfect day
at the plate.
The second conflict of the series
was on the card today, the Indians
being scheduled here through Thurs
day.
Indians, Senators and Colonies
have been tossed into tie for
fourth place, even though Louis
vile lost to Columbus Monday,

Colonies to horn in for three-way

The Indians longest hit Monday was
a triple by Monahan in the first inning.
In the sixth, Barnhart and Riddle
worked the double steal. the former scor-
ing.
A wild throw by Bejma and a tumble
by Layne allowed runs to score in the
opening stanza.
Bill BurweII, acting the part of a dash
ing outielder for a day, went into right
center in the third to rob Brown Of a hit.
1t was a sparkling catch.
Warner lined to Warstler in the fifth
and the agile Tribe shortstop leaped on
second to double Brown.
Devormer was trapped off second in the
sixth and was out on rundown play,
Schupp to Connolly to Bejma to Warstler.
1t is said Wild Matthews was paid in
full for the season when he left the club
to go home for rest. He has not been
feeling well recently.
