INDIANS MANAGER IN 1888
Selection of Coast Lacquer
Is Made by Owner Nor
man Perry.
TRADE WILL BE MADE
Observers Presume Leader
of 1882 Club Will Go to
Another Team.
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor

Wade Killefer, veteran Pa
cific Coast Lacquer, was ap-
pointed today as the new
manager of the Indianapolis
baseball club for 1888, sue
ceeding Emmett McCann,
player-pilot, it was announced
by Norman A. Perry, Tribe
president and owner.
The new Hoosier chief will be a
bench pilot and it is Perrys belief
that Killefer has the needed dia-
mond knowledge and experience to
reorganize and rebuild the Indians
into flag contender.
Killefer's latest connection was
with the Hollywood Stars, where he
acted in the capacity of scout and
adviser.
Long Record of Success
Red" as he is known to baseball
followers, has a long record of sue
cess as player, manager and owner,
extending over more than twenty
five years.
He was an infielder with Mime
apolis under the late Joe CantilIon
in 1911, IL and '13.
Graduating from the Millers.
Killefer saw big league service VITA
also with the New York Giants in
1916. He is a brother of Bill Kille-
fer, manager of the st. Louis
Browns, and is originally out of
Paw Paw, Mich. His age is given
as As.
The new Hoosier chief piloted Los
Angeles from 1917 to 1923, inclu-
sive; Seattle from 1923 to 1928 and
San Francisco Missions from 1929
to 1881. His home is at Hermosa.
Cal.
Decides A. A. Too Strong
In making the change in man.
ayers, Owner Perry said he had de-
cided that the American Associa-
ton is too strong and fast for a
player-pilot and that he desired a,
man of long experience to lead the
Indians in 1888.
McCann was named playing chief
in June, 1881, succeeding Johnny
Corriden, now coach with the cham
pion Chicago Cubs.
Mccain still is on the Tribe ros-
ter as manager and player until
Sunday, when the current season
closes. 1t is presumed a deal will
be made shortly after the season
ends that will send McCann to an
other club. He is highly regarded
as first baseman.

HINDU LEADERS
TO GANDH'S AID
Ask British Intervention in
Hunger Fast.
By United Press

~ GHtteU PfeSS
POONA, India, Sept. 24.-The
"untouchables' and high caste Hin
du leaders petitioned Prime Min
lister Ramsey Macdonald by cable
today to withdraw the government
settlement of communal voting so
Mahatma M. K. Gandhi might end
his fast unto death"
Agreed after hours of frenzied
negotiations, while Gandhi lay
under a mango tree in the prison
yard slowly starving to- death in
protest against the government set
tlement, the leaders cabled their
new found harmony, hoping that
Macdonald Immediately would re-
scind his action.
The Indian factions failed to
agree at the London round table
conference on their legislative rep
resentation.
The British government was
ready to reconsider its settlement
of the communal question, against
which Gandhi began his hunger
strike, if the Indians settled the
problem themselves.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Wil-
IN liam Cunningham, erst-
while Santa Fe fireman from
Kansas City, has declared him
self 1882 champion world series
fan, being No. in line to wait for
the first game of the world series
at Yankee stadium.
But no sooner did he have the
championship in his grasp than
he wondered what good it was.
Probably the problem would not
have presented itself to him had
not an inquisitive newspaper man
brought the situation to a climax.
Why do you want to be f1rst?"
the reporter asked Cunningham.
Wouldn't it be pleasanter and
easier to be Tooth in line and save
a weeks waiting?"
why bring up a thing like
that? You think I'm nut?"
Cunningham rejoined.
We'll, in a word, yes,r said the
reporter.
"COSH, I hadn't stopped to
" think about why I want to
be FIRST" Cunningham unused. Il
wonder why? What do you think
about it?"
ut looks a bit crazy to me"
Cray, eh? Well, maybe I'm
bit crazy. Well, I'm here now so
I guess I might as well stay You
don't happen to know of any
newspaper that would pay me, say
$25 a day, to write pieces about
my experiences, do you?"
The reporter didn't. So Cum
ningham pulled from his pockets
a collection of worn clippings
showing that in st. Louis he had
written stories under his own
name.
Last year he was nosed out of
his championship by a man who
shouted his title a bit louder.
This year Cunningham protect
ed his position by drawing up the
following declaration, which was
signed by policemen and taxicab
drivers:
This is to notify the world that
I, William Cunningham, 942 Ohio
avenue, Kansas City, Kan, took
the position at the head of this
line at p. m. Monday, Sept. 10,
for the purpose of being the first
in line for the world series in New
York City"
THO some inquirers Cunningham
Il stated he had bet 500 he
would be first, but he admitted
he couldn't have paid if he had
lost.
He had IS cents capital, but he
contrived to get a steady food
supply from a nearby restaurant
owner who expected to get his
name in the papers.
A garage owner supplied old
automobile seats for a bed, and
tossed in few blankets. Cum
ningham hopes that curious idlers
who stare at him will pay for the
privilege by contributing nickels
and dimes.
The Cubs will win the series.
Cunningham says. Last year he
picked the Cardinals.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Implications
of the billion dollar collapse of
Samuel Insults utilities pyramid
spread rapidly today with promise of
United States senate inquiry and
demands that insult and his brother,
Martin, be returned to America.
Newest developments in the de-
bacle which is estimated to have
cost investors close to $1,o00,000, 900
were:
Announcement by United States
Senator Peter Norbeck (Rep., S. ID,
that the senate banking committee,
of which he is chairman, will make
close study of the insult matter
when congress reassembleS.
Request by bondholders commit
tee that subpenas be issued for the
return of Samuel insult from Paris
and his brother, Martin, from Can
ada, where the pair have sought re-
tirement.
Demand by States Attorney John
A. Swanson for a $4,000 appropria-
ton to be spent in searching insult
records for evidence of possible
violation of statutes.
Editors Are Judgment
Editorial demands by Chicago
newspapers for revelation of the
complete list of persons allowed by
insult to purchase stock in his con-
Germ below the market price.
The impending senate inveStiga-
ton, Norbeck said, would be carried
on in connection with the stock
market study undertaken at the last
session of congress. Recent receiver
ship audits convinced him that the
insult stock issues should be investi-
gated with a view to possible irregu-
larities, he said.
A committee representing bond
holders of insult Utility Investments,
Inc, which has been declared bank
rupt by Federal Judge Walter G.
Lindley, announced they would ask
the court to seek return of the IN
suliS for examination. The action,
which is civil, would be undertaken
in hope of discovering some assets in
the derelict concern.
Full List Demanded
Study of list of 205 individuals
given the right by insult to pur-
| chase stock in one of his investment
trusts before an offering was made
to the general public convinced Chi
cago newspapers the sensational
portion of the list had not yet been
revealed.
The 2O5 listed, it was pointed out,
virtually were all close friends and
business associates of the magnate.

The publication, said the Daily
News, HAS not satisfied the Gemand
for full disclosure of the names of
those who enjoyed insult favoritism
at the expense of the investing
public"

the full list had responsibility to

sons so favored. "The public has a
right to full information on this
aspect of high pressure financing"

The word roger" in the Seven teenth and Eighteenth centuries was synonymous with rogue" both being derived from the older spelling 'roge": |: and meant, as it does today, vaga- bond, rascal, trickster, thief, etc, and was, therefore, synonymous with "pi- rate" The word Rover" which is sometimes used in place of roger as the name of the pirates flag, had the same root as the word ''robber," and B similar meaning to roger" except that it applied more specifically to wandering rascals.

How Stills Were Evolved

Stilts were originally designed for use in crossing rivers and marshes. As means of amusement stilts have been used by all peoples in all ages, as well as by the inhabitants of marshy or flooded districts. The city of Ma mur, in Belgium. which formerly suf. fered from the overflowing of the Rivers Sambre and Mouse, has been celebrated for its stlt-walkers for many centuries. Not only the towns people, but also the soldiers used stilts. The home of stilt-walking at the present day is the department of Landes. in Gascony, where, owing to the impermeablity of the subsoil all low-lying districts are converted into marshes.
