but until 9 o'clock no one had a
strike and there was nothing to do
but quit and go ashore. However,
our disappointment in not getting any
fish was somewhat offset when our
captain made delicious coffee and
sandwiches.
We did not get any fish but we
witnessed a rather unusual electrical
display in the heavens. We observed
what at first was thought to be a
signal of some kind flashing up the
river north by east. Later these
flashes moved to northwest and
finally came directly out of the west
and south. We then observed several
dark clouds and came to the conclu-
sion that what we had been seeing
was lightning. Milton Gordon said it
was cold air coming into contact with
the warm air, and Capt. Spriggs said
it was a common sight at nights off
the North Carolina coast at this sea-
son of the year.

Few Grads Among Fans.

THERE are not many college
graduates among the merchants,
tailors, actors, butchers, song
writer's, and Office hands who watch
pro foot ball week after week. I sup
pose DR.. Freud, If he examined one
of these crowds through his special
nuthouse lens, would come up with a
diagnosis of wish fulfillment, or
campus fixation, or coonskin complex,
or plain and simple Illustration.
Whatever their secret may be,
these professional fans are ex-
tremely numerous.
Half a dozen times this Fall there
have been crowds of $4,000 or better
at pro game. The average, even in
towns like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and
the smaller Green Bay, is close to
$4,000. The visiting team Is guaran-
teed $4,000 of the net, which speaks
for a big jump in prosperity.
Under these circumstances, a win
ming club can be an excellent property
Last Winter. the Chicago Bears drew
from 10000 to 10000 persons per game
on an exhibition tour of California and
the South. There was no amateur
competition at that time of year, of
course, but the size of the crowds
seemed to show that people can stand
lot more foot ball than they get in
the course of the regular season,
whether 1t be amateur or professional
Pro foot ball is a better game
than amateur, though it may not
be as good spectacle.
That's all been mulled over. The
question today has to do with the
financial rivalry of the two games, and
it probably won't be solved for another
five years. You can't trace the ups

THIS afternoon will be given chief

morrow there will be a general
review both on attack and defense.
Also there will be a short practice
Friday before the departure for
Cleveland.
Indications are that the squad will
be in the best physical shape of this
season. Slade Cutter, right tackle,
the biggest man on the team, kept
out of the game against the Generals
by injuries, will practice this after
noon, as will Jim. Bentley, his first
substitute, also on the hospital list.
The Navy will start its iron back
field, which has begun every game
this year and played the larger part
of each. 1t has Dick Pratt, Wash
ington, D. c., lad, at quarter, Buzz
Berries and Tommy King at the
halves and Bill Clark at fullback.
For the first time a definite sec
ond combination has been formed,
with Snead Schmidt at quarter, Fay
Willsie and Ned Thomas at the

has many elements of strength.

New Men Strictly Futures.

yANCE and Whitehead, pitchers
" from the Dallas club OF the
Texas League, are said TO be
the Mccoy and it would be an unusual
piece of luck for Commy if both should
deliver. The Sox also purchased sew
eral other youngsters, but all of them
are coming from the smaller leagues
and are strictly futures.
Comiskey is reported to be bidding
for Joe Demaggio, a rugged and hard
hitting outfielder belonging to San
Francisco. However the Seal owners
still ask heavy money for their young
sters and the price tag may chase
Comiskey away, particularly after the
failure of several other Pacific Coast
stars for whom Chicago paid plenty.
So it's likely Comiskey will save his
bank roll until the American League
meeting in New York next month.
He has decided upon the players he
would like to secure and will make a
strong effort to secure them. How
ever, his chances of success are none
too bright and sooner or later the
Chicago owner will be obliged to fol-
low the example of other major
league owners and establish his own
farms, or at least enter into per-
manent working agreement with a
string of minor league teams.
Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red
Sox seems to be about the only mag
nate who can buy a winning team,
but the Yawkey strong box is much
larger and deeper than any other
except that of P. K. Wrigley, the
Chicago Cub owner. Wrigley also
will dig deep into the greenbacks at
the Winter meeting for new players
and he still hopes to get one Of
the Deans.
However. Lou Comiskey is willing
to shoot the S250,000 and with that
the man might get lucky.

TINE White Sox need about every

Peterson Not Fancied.

AYEITHER RoSenbloom nor Olin
~ will make the trip to the other
side. Rosey had one expert
ence over there when he was hit
Lelow the belt by Tommy Milligan.
His claim of foul was denied and he
was counted out. Olin has not made
much money in his career as a top
notcher. Should he beat Rosenbloom,
he will not be recognized by the Ma
tional Boxing Association as the
champion. So Bob first will invade
N. B. A. territory and clean up all
challengers.
Johnston does not say So but it
is apparent that he does not think
much Of Peterson as a fighter. The
Welshman would add international
flavor to a heavyweight tournament,
but that is about all. Placing a
champion of another country in a
secondary role would cost more money
than he Is worth-that is, unless the
foreigner showed enough ability to
warrant signing him to a contract
for several fights
Johnston took a gamble on Seaman
Watson and brought him over here to
fight Kid Chocolate. Watson was
anything but the two-f1sted puncher
his advance notices proclaimed him
to be, and he was hurried back home
on the next boat. Jimmy is not TAX
ing any such chances with Peterson.
If the Welshman does not want to
fight big fellows, then he can prove
his ability against men of his own
weight and leave the rest to the judg-
ment of the fans.

There's a theory at large that
Y professional foot ball is cutting

v professional foot ball is cutting
deeply into the profits of the
college game. The same theory was
aired last year, and the year before
that, but this time it seems to have
the Endorsement of some of our sound
est minds, and perhaps it deserves a
little attention.
Cash foot ball is coming along, no
doubt about that. The attendance
figures are no bigger to date than
they were last year, but, when you
60 back three or four seasons, even
to the gaudy Autumns of 1928 and
1929, you find the crowds small and
the interest feeble. 1t wasn't until
last year that cash foot ball really
developed a clientele of its own.
This clientele is q cross between
a big league base ball crowd and
the throng at a California college
game.
