Eight Vets Promising,
Coach Keotine Feels

and kickers in this sector; George
Bentley, speedy halfback; Bud Eek
rich, husky fullback, and Ben Deck

Man Who Made Pitcher

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18.-Wil-
liam CBucky) Walters, the National
Leagues most valuable player-an
honor which surpassed my fondest
dreams'-is learning another sport
from the man who transformed him
from an infielder to one Of baseball's S
outstanding pitchers.
The Cincinnati hurler learned OF
his selection by the Baseball Writ
ers' Association as he helped Jimmy
Wilson, his coach and former man.

ration for the duck-hunting season.
Wilson Modest Mentor.
Jimmy was responsible for my
success as a pitcher and now he's
going to show me how to shoot
ducks" said the 29-year-old right
handler who won q games for the
Reds last season.
Laying aside his paint brush at
a hunting club at nearby Morrisville
on the Delaware River, Wilson said
I'm mighty proud about Bucky
winning that award. Ill take the
credit for giving him the pitching
idea, but Bucky had the ability and
the heart to win-and that's what
makes a successful pitcher.
Five years ago Walters came back
from the minors to his home town
as third baseman for the Phillies
Wilson, then manager of the club
was convinced "Bucky" had the
making of a great pitcher. He made
hurler out Of him and followed
Walters to Cincinnati last June.

Now Bucky expects his boss" to
make as good hunter out of him
as he did pitcher.
1--WE shot plenty of pheasants
and rabbits, but I'm not so sure
about this business of shooting from
a boat" Walters chuckled.
You'll be o. K" replied Wilson,
a veteran duck hunter.

Hartnett Took Loose
Grip on Cub Reins,
Says Wrig|ey
Urges Pilot to Assume
More Responsibility,
Knit Organization
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-There may
be a silver lining yet in the clouded
baseball affairs of Owner Phil
Wrigley and the Chicago Cubs.
Wrigley and Manager Gabby
Hartnett, it seems, finally have come
to an understanding on the opera
ton of the organization.
What I have been hoping for
and I haven't been issuing any de-
mands--is a closer knit organiza-
ton" Wrigley explained.
"Hartnett apparently did not un-
derstand this I think he does now
1t never was his not having author
ity, as some have maintained. He
had that and could have more at
any time, as he can now.
Gabby Ducked Responsibility.
Where I found him deficient was
in accepting responsibility. I tried
to point out that to him and I think
he understands now. I have no
ideas on another manager at this
time. Frankly, I wouldn't know
where to look for one"
Hartnett, whose managerial head
appeared destined for the guillotine
a few days ago, said he thought
"everything was going to turn out
all right and added:
I'm going right to work with
Clarence Rowland and Jack Doyle
Cub scouts to study the situation.
We need some changes for next sea-
son and with everybody working to-
gether I'm sure we'll be able to make
some headway.'
Wrigley Is Considerate.
In a conference with Hartnett,
Owner Wrigley asked Gabby to out
line a program for getting the Cubs
back in the flag fight.
Several days ago Wrigley said he
had the feelings of a "disgruntled
fan" over the teams fourth-place
showing this year, but would make
no decision regarding Hartnett's S
future as manager until he had
cooled off" and studied the situa-
ton.
Hartnetts contract expires in De-
cember.

Army and Navy can bank on 180,-

these games include Clemson, one

Against this Army has only four

CHICAGO, Oct. 18-The superla-

of the Chicago Bears, but Owner
George Halas is one person having
and wanting no part in this flood of
adjectives.
George is waiting at least until
his boys tangle Sunday with the
New York Giants, who are only
champions of the league.
The Giants not only won the title
last season, but in four games this
fall are undefeated and have the
best defensive record in the circuit.
New York has averaged only 10

He's not rated among the five
leaders, grouped solely on the actual
number of passes they've completed,
but Frank Filchock of the Redskins
today has the best percentage OF any
passer in the National Football
League.
In the wake of his second success
sive Sunday of near-perfect passing,
Filchock currently has the amazing
average Of SO per cent, or 10 per cent
higher than three deadlocked lead
ers. But because he has only 18
passes to his credit, Filchock is not
classed with Parker Hall of Cleve-

NEW YORK, Oct. l8 GJA.NA0.-
Last fall in the way of attendance
figures Notre Dame and Southern
California led the pack. Both were
just around the 100000 mark. 1t
begins to look as if the same two
teams again would keep mere ramps
and turnstiles busy than any of the
others.
Notre Dame, as usual, already has
been playing to fairly well packed
stands. On Saturday against Navy
in Cleveland the crowd will reach
the 10000 count. This game already
is a sellout for Clevelands big
stadium. A week later Notre Dame
will face another capacity gather
ing against Carnegie Tech in Pitts
burgh.
On November 4 Notre Dame and
Army will lure at least $4,000 for
their annual New York contest
Iowa and Northwestern will both
draw extremely well, and Southern
California will close out Notre
Danes season to another crowded
aSsemblage.
So Notre Dame again will be in
the neighborhood of 100000 admis-
