CROSBY OUTLOOK GLOOMY; WILEY
 LENDS PROMISE
Inexperienced Candidates Plentiful at Blue and White School = Green Shows Many Vets- Naugy Has Strong BaCkfield
By GEORGE DILLON


 A situation such as exists at Crosby high at the current writing is not generally looked upon as particularly comforting or reassur- ing, for Coach Billy Schofield is confronted with plenty of material and q good team on paper, but talk ing the aspirants for varsity berths individually each may look like million dollars, but the majority of them haven't had a nickers worth of experience.
 Homicl<, Shechan Look Good
 Of the undergraduates, Homick, reserve tackle from last year and Mike Sheehan, substitute fullback of "31", and Charley Chambcrlin, a ffteen-year old speedy freshman, look quite promising. The first named has plenty of manliness and Is quite intrepid. Sheehan should be converted into & good interfer- ence man while Chamberlin re- minds one of Win Hopkins, former Wilby ball-toter, when carrying the pigskin. He has an enviable stride and Is expected to see plenty of action in the blue and whites rear works.
 Colored Lad Seeks Berth Nose" Garner, g. quiet unassum- ing lad who starred in public school athletic realms the past two years, is the first colored boy to tryout with the blue and white in many years. He intends to offer Wilbur Dunn, Eddie O'Donnell, Henry Gagain, Moe Egan and Wa ters with plenty of position for wing berths.
 Lacking. a Center Finding 1t extremely difficult to fill the shoes of Mike DiNapOli at center since the latter has been working out a fullback, Coach Schofield is bothered trying to land a capable successor to the husky Brooklyn lad. Sullivan and Di- vinche are the leading prospects for the guard assignments while it looks like Captain Frank Egan and Homick have the tackle berths all sewed up, ditto for Wilbur Dunn at right end. Pee Wee" Zedgryn, Ned Farley. Todd, Sheehan. and Cham berlin appear to be the best backfield aspirants.
 ii Seniors At Wilby Coach Jimmy. Lee Is quite pleased with, the showing of his Wilby gridironers to date. Of the AZ candidates left after yesterdays cut, II are seniors and seven vet erans from last year. Ray Snyder, captain of the 1924 Wilby eleven and Donald Monaghan, Crosby backfield ace of three years past, are aiding Lee with the linemen. l MiniCucci Looks Good
 Don Minicucci, mite three-letter- man at Naugatuck, hasn't been heard of in the past two years on the gridiron, but you can bet your last Buffalo head that the borough sheriff's son will make the head lines this year. Yesterday the blonde quarterback ran the Foley men through stiff drill at the Recreation field and teamed up well in the backheld with Dick Tuckey, who should make the All State team this year, Tom scally and Lou Ketches.

They must win nine of their 10 remaining games to clinch second place if the Senators triumph in all of their remaining II games.
 In the National League the third. place Brooklyn Dodgers are three and one-half games behind the ,runner.up Pittsburgh Pirates. Pittsburgh needs to win only seven out of II games to clinch second piace. even if the Dodgers win all of their eight.
 The Pirates gained . full game on the Dodgers yesterday by nos ing out the Boston Braves, 5 to z, while Brooklyn was shut out by the St Louis Cardinals , to 0.
 "Kiki" Kills Giants | A home run by Kiki Cuyler In the 1lth inning gave the Cubs an 8-to-7 victory over the Giants, after Mel Ott's homer for New York in the ninth had sent the game into extra innings. Botn teams scored two runs in the 4Oth:
 The Phillies pounded Benton and Kolp for 17 hits as they scored their third straight win over the tail-end Cincinnati Reds to 4. Elliot and Liska yielded 10 safe- tics to Cincinnati.
 The Athletics dropped a 3-to-2 decision to the St Louis Browns who tailed two runs in the seventh inning to take the game. The third place Senators lost to Detroit to :. "ftcr Harry Davis singled in the 0th inning with the bases loaded with Tiger runners.

New York, Sept 16.-Columbia and Manhattan continued their series of scrimmages yesterday with 'an informal session at Ba- ker field before 700 spectators. No touchdowns were scored.
 Each team was in possession of the ball for an hour and the calibre of both offensive and defensive play showed much improvement over that displayed in the Lion Jasper scrimmage of Tuesday.
 Columbia relied on running plays with Clifford Montgomery and Manuel Rivero getting loose several times. Toward the end of the session the Lions opened a successful passing attack.
 Bill Pendergast and Pete Battle were the chief cogs in Manhat- tan's offense and the former tossed many accurate passes to his mates. every man on both squads saw action.

New York, Nov 21--iU. P.l - The stock market fiuctuated aim- lessly in dull turnover to-day on the eve of the meeting at Wash ington between Presfdent-elect Roosevelt and President HS0yer on the war debt question.
 A wide break in Radio Corpora tfon issues unsettled the list for a time but near the close some short covering developed and lead CTS rallied to within fractions of the previous close. Losses were about balanced of by small gains.
 The break in radio shares was attributed to signing of consent Cecree in the governments suit against Radio Corporation, General Electric and Westinghouse Electric. The decree provides dismissal of those companies together with | -nerican Telephone and Telegraph but stipu1ates they diyest theR- selves of radio stock in certain time. Anticipating g1ut of the market when the shares were dis posed of to stockholders of Gen. eral Electric and Nesting house, traders unloaded and prices of the radio issues declined sharply.
 At one time radio common was at 5 5-S off l Ia preferred "A" "A off and preferred "Bs 10 1-2 off 1-2. Moderate rallies from those levels took place before the close. General Electric and Vest ingh0use held steady.
 Steel common held around the previous close after recovering fro man earlx decline. News from the steel industry was considered adverse, the magazine steel esti- mating production at 19. per cent of capacity, against Fl per cent q week ago.
 Special weakness was noted in national enameling and stamping which broke 7-S points to 1-4 and in Drug, Inc, which at one time was at 34 off 1 IA.
 Seaboard oil featured a firm oil group. rising to a new 1882 high at 19 1-8 Mp 5-S. Mcintyre Por. cupine, g favorite on Saturday was again In demand, making a new top for the year, at 21 1-8 up i5-8. < Buying In the latter stock was, for special reasons and other gold min- ing issues failed to participate. z
 Farm equipment shares eased off with wheat which closed down fractionally. Du Pont rose nearly a point on declaration of the reg ular quarterly dividend of 50a cents a share. Automobile shares ruled steady on indications of continued stepping up of operations on new models. t
 Railroad shares were depressed for a time in the early trading. but they frmed up later. Atchis0n was helped by publication of its car loadings for the week ended November 19 showing an increase oyer the previous week. sPennsyl- vania made a small gain.
 Utilities ruled steady and were practically unchanged for the day. American telephone closed at 108N off 3a after fiuctuating around the previous close In the late trading. 4
 The street was pleased with ef- forts Of the administration to pare down government expenses and pave the way for 8 balanced budg. ct. More stress, however, was laid on the Roosevelt- Hoover confer- ence tomorrow. The latter factor, 1t was anticipated would play a large part In movements of the market in the. immediate future.
