BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Nov. 90
Steady shifting of Indiana Univer-
sity back field candidates during the
last few days of preparation for the
annual Purdue tussle on Memorial
Stadium gridiron here tomorrow
apparently has brought decision
from Coach A. N. (Bo) McMillin to
use Veterans Vernon Huffman and
Wendell Walker and Harry Cherry
and William Anderson, a pair of
sophomores, in the starting lineup.
Although Corbett Davis, ball
carrying ace of the Crimson back
field, again took a long workout at
the full back post yesterday, the
fact he has badly bruised Shout
der makes the length of his playing
time in the game uncertain and has
prompted McMillin to shift Walker
into the full back post.
Kelso's Toe Is Threat
Davis likely will be held in readi-
ness to 60 in and attempt to ram
the ball over when a close scoring
opportunity appears. Failure on
three such tries then undoubtedly
will see Reed Kelso attempting to
boot a field goal with his evidently
recovered kicking leg that has been
bothering him all fall.
The selection of Cherry and An
derson in the opening lineup is not
exactly a surprise. Cherry was a
star indianapolis prep school ball
carrier and after most of the season
on the bench, receiving instructions
after every play situation as it arose

Soldiers Host to
Capital Loop Foe

Capital City League football teams
are oiling their attacks for import
ant games or schedule Sunday. Two
lntra-loop contests feature the pro-
gram with FIT. Harrison's Soldiers
facing possible loss of their share ir
the circuit lead when the Yugaslavs
invade the Post Field.
A victory by the invaders would
push the Soldiers into second place
behind the Leon Tailors, who do not
meet league foe, but play at Gin

are Slight favorites over P. R. NAL
Tory at Riverside. Pendleton will be

Toledo sports writer, and Ed Shave,

Hickey organized the A. A. in the
winter of 1901 and it opened it's first
campaign in 1902 The league has
had four presidents, Hickey, Ed
Grillo, Joe O'Brien and Tom Chiv-
ington. Hickey was moved out Of
office after the 1903 season, but re-
turned to the position in 1917 and
has been there since.
Age has worked against Hickey
in the last few years and that is
the only reason advanced for his
removal. The wear and tear Of
travelling the circuit slowed him
down. Whether or not the club
owners used good judgment remains
to be seen, however. Hickey's knowl-
edge of baseball, integrity and
political cunning will be hard to
match

First BaSeman
McQuinn Goes

Reds Buy Newark Star at
Dayton; Pirates, Phils
Make Deals.
BY GEORGE KIRK SEY


DAYTON, o., Nov 22.-The Gin
cinnati Reds today bought First
Baseman George McQuinn from the
Newark International League club
and Catcher Bill Raimondi from
the Oakland Pacific Coast League
team. The Reds also signed Out
fielder Hub Walker, who was with
the Toledo American Association
club last year and given permission
to make a deal for himself.
Hank SEVERED, veteran catcher
manager who was with San An
tonic last season, has signed with
the Reds and will act as player
manager of one of their farms.
Montreal Wins Convention
The 1886 convention of the Ma
tional Association Of Professional
Baseball Leagues was awarded to
Montreal, Canada, here today.
Montreal was the site of the 1890
meeting.
Elmer Voter, formerly of the In
dianapolis Club, was signed as man
ager of Scranton in the New York
Pennsylvania League, and an
nounced the trade of Second Base
man Arthur Hoarde for Pitcher
Francis Nelson of Dallas. Hoarde
refused to report to Scranton last
season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates gave
Catcher Earl Grace and Pitcher
Claude Passeau, last year with the
DeS Moines Western League club, to
the Phillies for Catcher AL Todd.
Manager Pie Traynor of the Pr
ates thinks that if he can put over
another deal for a starting pitcher
he'll have a serious pennant con-
tender on his hands. The man he is
said to have his eye on is 81 john
son of the Cincinnati Reds. Ralph
Blrkhofer, Pirate southpaw, may
figure in any other deals Pittsburgh
makes.
Mack Offers Stars
Back to the rumorS, the destruc-
ton of the Philadelphia Athletics
appeared more certain, with at least
three clubs likely to figure in the
division of Connie Mack's stars for
badly needed cash. One person S
guess is as good as another, but it is
generally believed Outfelder Roger
Cramer and Shortstop Eric McNair
will land with the Red SoX; Third
Baseman Frank Higgins with the
Yankees; First Baseman Jimmy
FoXX with the White Sox. Pitcher
Johnny Marcum may land with any
one of the three clubs. Some insist
part of these deals already have been
completed.
The Chicago Cubs are making
strong efforts to land another
pitcher and are dangling any one
of three outfielders, Freddie Lind
strom, Tuci1 Stainback or Chuck
Klein, as bait.
In other player deals the White
SoX have sent Inflelder Marty Hop
kinS and Pitcher Carl Fisher, who
hurled one-hit game against
Washington last season, to the
Kansas City American Association
Club. They also have traded Pitcher
Lee Slime to Cincinnati for Inf1elder
Joe Morrisey, who is ticketed to be
sold later to the Giants. Detroit
has sent Pitcher Clyde Halter to
Milwaukee on option.

la ruta de Tehuantepec .endria otra

"Dicho proyecto consistia en- ten

La posibilidad de que a traves del
