The Community Chest drive was
started December II but q different
method wis followed than has been
the practice in the past. The diff
ficulty In obtaining enthusiastic So
licitors who could give their time
to the work was eliminated by mail
ing letters and subscription blanks
to the citizens Of the community.
The subscription sheet called for the
names Of contributors with the
amount donated and a space was
provided for each contributor to
vote on the question as to whether
it was the desire Of the community
to continue the operations Of the
Community Chest or not.
II the present chest activities are
to be continued, the subscriber
should vote "yes"; If not, he should
vote mo-" This is practically the
only method the committee can use
to determine whether their activities
are satisfactory and whether the
methods used are In line with the
desires of the community.
A number of contributions have
already been received but the COM
mittee makes an urgent request that
the subscriptions be sent in as soon
as possible so that the committee
can clear up its work before the end
of the year. In some cases where
it is necessary to present the matter
to a group or organization, the time
required may have to be extended.
Only two negative votes have been
received so far on the questionnaires
which have been returned to the
committee, Mr.. Siegfried reports.

LIVELY MATCHES DUE
And from the indications of the

Congressional has a slight edge.
Congressional will line up with

SHEA ON HAND
What gives Congressional a
slight edge in the play is the
presence in it's lineup Of Willie
Shea, the Middle Atlantic and

some spectacular golf this year
and it is doubtful if the return
to classes on the Hilltop has cut
down on his prowess with driver

Shea, who teams with Dettweiler

To Take Post of
Steve O'NeilI

CLEVELAND, Oct. 20.-oScar
Witt, manager Of the Newark Bears
Of the International League, has
accepted an offer to become man
ager Of the Cleveland Indians.
President Alva Bradley Of the
Cleveland Club announced today.
Witt will replace Steve ONeill,
who will be retained as q Cleve-
land scout, Bradley said.
Although a contract has not yet
been signed, Witt has agreed by
telegram to accept a two-year con-
tract, Bradley said. Terms of the
agreement were not announced.
"The contract will be signed
when we meet Witt in Milwau-
kee, December / or g." Bradley
said. "He is now at his home
in Oakland, Cal"
Witt, who is Al years old, was a
former star second baseman for
the Detroit Tigers, and has had
notable success as manager Of the
Newark club.
Bradley's only comment as to
Wits ability was this:
II think Wits record speaks
for ITSELF"
ONLY NEW CHANGE
Acquisition Of Witt will be the
only change in the Cleveland club
management, Bradley said. c. c.
Slapnicka, a former scout, will con-
tinue as vice president and bust
ness manager of the club.
Announcement that Witt will
take over the reins of the Indians
removes widespread speculation as
to O'Neill's successor.
Most prominently mentioned as
successors were Bill McKechnie,
manager of the Boston Bees, and
Tony Lazzeri, the Yankees second
