Wilson, New Manager
OF Cubs, Is Ready
To Talk Trades
Holds Clubs Big Need
Is Hurting; Accepts
2-Yeur Contract
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Jimmy Will
son hadn't been manager of the
Chicago Cubs more than IS min
utes before he let it be known that
he is no popoff.
why should I start talking right
away about what am going 20 do?''
he asked. I'm no popoff. I want
to look the situation over before
making any recommendations"
Wilson agreed to terms in a CON-
ference yesterday with James Gal
lagher, general manager, and
Charles Boots Weber, vice presi-
dent, and signed a tWo-year con-
tract last night. He affixed his sig
nature to the paper as soon as War
rem Giles, general manager of the
Cincinnati club to which he be-
longed, arrived and personally
handed him his unconditional re-
lease. The salary figure was thought
TO be about $4,000.
Ready to Make Trades.
Wilson, however, revealed imme-
dlately that he wouldn't back away
from any attractive trades for ma
terial
While I saw plenty of the Cubs
last season" he said. Il wasn't look
ing at them with the same slant !
now must take as their manager
But there is one thing certain. I'll
listen to all trade propositions. !
won't hesitate to act if l can make
a trade beneficial to the team. From
what little 1 know at this time !
hgure the big need is pitching"
The 40year-old star of the re-
cent World Series proved his abil-
lty with pitchers during his 1884, 80
reign as manager Of the founder
ing Philadelphia Phils. Wilson per-
suaded Bucky Walters to forsake
third base for pitching in 1884
developing the mediocre infielder
into a top-fight moundsman.
Two Coaches to Go.
He implied that the Cubs two
1910 coaches, John Corriden and
George Uhle. would be cut loose
Wilson said that one of his coaches
would be Charles Dick Spalding
who assisted him during three OF
his five years as the Philly skipper
Wilson reached the big leagues
in 1923 after three years in the
Eastern League, breaking in with
the Phils. The St. Louis Cardinals
obtained him in a trade in 1926
and kept him until he returned tc
the Quaker City as manager.
He is the fourth Cub manager ir
the past decade, following in the
footsteps of Rogers Hornsby. Charlie;
Grimm and Gabby Hartnett, who
was fired last Wednesday.

Coach Hooks Mylin, whose un-
beaten Lafayette College football
team hasn't been bothered too
much this season with opponents
defenses, wants new rules to
stipulate that a set number Of
defensemen be on the scrimmage
line. the same as the offense.
Defense in football today is
like scrambled eggs he told a

You're liable to find anywhere
from four to eight man defensive

practical purposes the six-two-

The G. w. record, even though
it shows more defeats than vic
tories, indicates plenty of potential
power ready for unveiling against
WaShington-Lee. The Presidents
tied Western early in the year and
Western went on to win the West
Division title in Washington. The
victory over Gonzaga also was out
standing since the Eagles are con-
Sidered by coaches and PLAYERS
among the strongest in this area.
WI. Has Strong Line.
Even past performances indicate
this game will be close. In the last
while WI. took the other three
with the largest edge belonging to
the Presidents after their $40 VIC
tory in 1888. 1t was after this game
that Washington-Lee began its IA
game winning streak that was
snapped earlier this year by Wood
row Wilson of Portsmouth.
Leading the WI. attack prob
ably will be Russ Arnaud. No. l
schoolboy back in this section. He
was good last year and is even
better this time with his running
and passing. lie currently is the
leading scorer in the Washington
metropolitan area with 10 touch
downs for go points. His backfleld
running mate is Leo Urbanske. an
other outstanding plunger and an
exceptional blocker.
One of the best schoolboy lines
around this section is sported by
the Little Generals, the mainstays
being Ed johnson, a 195-pound
tackle; Shanty Shepherd. 205-pound
guard, and Moze Wilson, another
guard who weighs 180.
The Presidents also have num-
ber of backfield aces with the best
being Ed Hanback,. He has devel-
oped this season and is real triple
threater AS well as the teams best
blocker With him is Leon Chisolm,
quarterback, who has returned to
action and spanked the Presidents
in their last two games after bein"
injured in practice lust before the
Western game roar the start Of the
season
G. VS. Kicker Hefty.
Probably the best member of G.
208-pound tackle who drops back to

ing and its place kicking.
This week really is the first time
the Presidents have had time to
practice for Washington-Lee. They
have had to point for practically
every game on their tough schedule
Under Coach Rasty Doran they
have been stressing defense espe-
cially for the Little Generals at

of the fray
Raba Star of Game.
Raba figured in all but one of the
victors' tallies. plunging over the
goal three times from within the
Riders Is and passing to Bob
ODonnell and Bob Hartman for two
other scores. Quarterback Bob Null
vihill, who did most of the blocking
for the Gonzaga star. broke off
tackle from the 18 for the other
TOUCHDOWN.
Bobby Stein, although failing to
score a single point for the losers,
was the vital cog in their offense,
and in completing lengthy passes
and line plunges made up for a
weak defense. Completing two
touchdown passes to Dick Goodman
and one to Dick Koester besides set
ting up another score with a So
yard dash in the final quarter, Stein
easily was the Riders trouble
maker.
Curbed in Third Period.

THE SEWER PROBLEM!

The City of Key West has a sewer
system. Twenty-Five residents of the City
of Key West ere using that system. This
out of a potential 1000 outlets in the area
served by the present pumping station, and
despite obligatory municipal legislation
calling for connecting with the system
within period of ninety days.
We hasten to soften the foregoing
statement, however, on the basis of the
proIects ne&hess and the realization that
the city-at-larye finds it necessary to make
certain adjustments before it will be able
to cooperate with this major improvement.
The Citizen little thought that it
would be possible, by any stretch of the
imagination, to enforce strict observance
of the ninety days provision in connection
with the sewer system. In the first place,
it would be physical impossibility to get
the job done in that comparatively short
period of time. In the second place, hum
dreds of property owners are simply not
able financially to plank down the neces-
sary fees at this time.
City officials, however, will do we'll to
investigate the field of those able to in
stall lateral lines at this time and send out
reminders that provisions of the ordinance
will be enforced. A good percentage have
already filed lateral connecting fees with
the Board Of Public Works ard these con-
nections have been installed to curb lines
in most cases. These should be in a posi-
ticn to apply for connection permit to their
houses Immediately. They come within
the scope of enforcement provisions.
In the meantime, and while city
plumbers are busily engaged leading in
lines to the houses that have their laterals
in, the city officials should institute sys-
tenn of part-payment for the balance of
the city. It's assured that everybody
wants to connect up with the lines, but the
only way over half of the owners here can
do so is to make small payments covering a
long period of time. Equipment costs be-
ing what they are, added to installation
fees, requires this concession for this CLASH
fication.

EMPTY THREAT
From Fit. Myers News-Press)


Around the state various democratic COM
mittees are talking big about what they are 60
ing to do with this years crop of Willkiecrats In
Miami and Sarasota plans have been announced.
Elsewhere they are under consideration. Under
Florida law those who vote for the opponents of
democratic candidates in this years general cleo
ton be barred from participating in the next
primary, either voters candidates for of
flee, and this is the law the democratic commit
tees threaten to invoke against boilers
But it won't be done. We have heard all that
before and nothing much came of it except that
when democratic committees tried it they were
the ones that got purged instead of the boilers.
That happened right here as an aftermath of
the 1923 campaign when Florida ran out on Al
Smith. Lee county was prominently among those
who went for Hoover and after putting up a
spirited fight for party regularity democratic COM
mittee leaders here advocated barring known re-
publicans and the most offensive of the Hoover
democrats from participating in the next pri-
mary. However, the steps proved difficult and
before effective action could be taken the repub-
licans and iHoovercrats ganged up to beat the
democratic' committeeman in their own primary.
Even among regular democrats, and parti-
cularly the office-holding class there was good
deal of resistance to Furnishing the boilers
Lets keep the light burning" appeasement
talk of those days, so as to guide our straying
brothers back to the democratic fold" While
prating of their own loyalty. most candidates for
democratic nominations, particularly in this part
of the state were careful not to offend the Hoo
vercrats and thus marking themselves for the
knitting that administered to Al Smith
We can look for practically the same thing
this time If the bolt to Wilkie is sufficient to
carry the state there will be majority that can
control the primary in which democratic COM
mitteemen are; elected At best only few boilers
can actually be barred. The law catch up
with only those who willing to testify against
themselves byladmitting that they voted for other
than democratic nominees. The ballot being
secret there is no way of proving that person
VINO shouted for Willkie during the campaign
didn't change his mind he entered the polling
place and if he's ready to swear to that version he
can remain in good standing
Those who registered for the May primary
took an oath to support the democratic nominees.
If they don't do so it IS matter between them
and their conscience Democratic committees
can't do much about it because person who
lightly dsregards an oath will lightly take
another that he didn't disregard it.
