NEW FACES CO
FOR IRISH

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Oct. II.
With five new faces in the line
UP, Coach Heartley Hunk
Anderson today dispatched his
Fighting irish into the Notre
Dame Stadium to wage war
against the Bulldogs of Drake
University.
A lions share of the Notre
Dame offensive was to repose on
the modest shoulders of George
Melinkovich, whose brilliant early
season labors won for him the
regular fullback berth hitherto
occupied by Steve Banas. Drake
always has been a dangerous foe
OF the Irish, but Notre Danes
warriors trotted to the field
favorites.

ROckne's Stadium,

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE
worlds finest stadium seating
100. 900 or more will surround the
Knute Roekne Memorial Field in
Brooklyn which the city plans to
build, it was learned today with
announcement of detailed plans
for the project.
The cost Of the field was esti.
mated at between $2,500,00O and
9S, ,000, 900 by James J. Browne,
Brooklyn park commissioner.
It was hoped to attract to the
field not only the major football
games of the country, but the
Olympic games the next time they
were held in America, Browne
said.

looked up his record and !
noticed a couple of things. One
was that he wasn't throwing out
many runners and the second was
that nobody was doing much
stealing on him.
Tries COchrane'S Arm
Right away I says to myself
nobody is trying to do much base
stealing in the American League
and Cochrane'S arm must be rusty
and his aim can't be much good,
So when I got on the first time
I decided I would see how good
a throWer he was and I hoofed
it for second. Just like I thought,
Mickey's throw wasn't good.
When I stole third on him later
it was because his throwing
wasn't good either and those two
sacks T grabbed that way got the
AS pretty much upset. Nothing
gets a team up in the air higher
than when you run the bases
wild and Gabby Street gives us
orders to run any time you get
a chance" ar.d we sure did.
Our team is one that plays
to win ball games and we don't

players. A lot Of yOus kind
folks was hoping I'd get the
thirteenth hit and I would have
liked to, but it don't matter
that / didn't because / got IL
and they were all my team
needed from me.
If I had got five hits in the
sixth game, which is the one
where we were beat 8 to /, it
wouldn't have won for us and,
in the last, the other boys were
doing enough hitting so they
didn't need me to pound around
any apples.
All year we played like that.
We all was trying all the time
and when one or two Of us boys
was in a. slump, the others did
enough. to make up for them.
And we kept right on doing it
in the series, all of us trying all
the time. When some of. the
other boys wasn't hitting in the
early games was lucky enough
to be cracking them out and,
when Grove and Earnshaw finally
got me tanned, why, High and
watkins soaked out a couple of
hits apiece and won the game.
No, folks, I am not q hero.
I am just q ball player trying
all the time. / been trying for
10 years and that's why / got
a chance with the Cards and
got into the series and had that
run Of luck.
People have asked me how to
be a success at baseball, and that
is a great compliment because I
am not sure I am a success yet,
but when they asked me I say,
"Just keep on trying and trying,
and don't ever quit, no matter
how tough things get but Just
try harder"

You see, I was just a rookie
outfielder and those AS pitchers
didn't expect me to bang any
baseballs around and they didn't
begin working hard on me until
about the third game when they
figured it out that either I was
a pretty good natural hitter or
that was in a lucky streak and,
no matter which it was, 1 had to
be stopped.
After that, they got serious
with me, but I was lucky during
the next three games. During
the last two I never did see such
speed as Grove and Earnshaw
used on me-. They just. blazed
that ball at me and she Whistled
like an engine footing through
the plains out in Oklahoma.
All the time since I have been
playing professional baseball,
I noticed that, the surest way
to put a team up in the air
was to do some base stealing.

REP. H. 4. COOPER DIES SUDDENLY
 IN WASHINGTON WAS ARDENT ADNIIRER AND SUPPORTER OF LATE
 SEN. LA TOILETTE

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3, (P)- Representative Henry Allen Coop CT, 80, of Racine, Wisconsin, the oldest member in point of ser vice-36 years-died suddendly at his hotel here. His wife was at his bedside when he passed.
 A warm supporter of the late Senator La Polite, the veteran Congressman twice served as a buffer between the regular and progressive factions of the Re- publican party. In 1923 the La Toilette group in the House blocked organization of that body by supporting him for the Speakership until the regular Republicans acquiesced in a de- mand for liberalizatio of House rules.
 In the summer next year he practically was booed and missed from the Republican National Convention at Cleveland when he presented several blanks the La Toilette group sought to have in corporated in the platform. Later that summer, however, he received a different welcome in Cleveland when he again presented the views of the Wisconsin Sena- tor, this time to representatives of independent political movements.
 Born at Walworth, Wisconsin, September, 8, 1850, Cooper was graduated from Northwestern University. He attended Union College of Law at Chicago and began practice at the bar in Racine, Wisconsin, which city he adopted as his home in 1875
