Bill Killifer, as manager of the Chicago Cubs for a number of years, proved he was not only a_ great catcher but also a very capable leader.

Definite information regarding the payment by Tunney for the services of his manager, Billy Gibson, was lacking, but it was estimated at $100,000 to $250,000. Lou Fink, the champion’s trainer, was scheduled to receive a bonus of $20,000.

BADGER COACH HAS ONLY FEW |: VETERANS BACK Must Mold Small Army of Un- tried Material Into Shape at Wisconsin CROFOOT IS OUTSTANDING Team's Captain Is Most Likely Candidate For Starring Honors at Madison Madison, Wis. Sept, 29.—7)— Glenn Thistlethwaite, former North- western University football coach, beginning similar duties at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin this fall, will face only a few veterans, a small army of untried material and no outstanding stars when the Badgers swing into practice sessions this month. ere Coming from the Purple institu- tion where he led the Wildcats to a tie for the conference champion- ship, developing such stars as “Moon” Baker and “Tiny” Lewis, Thistlethwaite will find conditions at Wisconsin in striking contrast. Only one player, Captain “Toad” Crofoot, has shown ability worthy of all-conference choice, but a few have displayed flashes of brilliancy. Gene Rose, who stepped into the regular lineup last year to send for- ward passes over and around Iowa and Chicago, will probably appear in the backfield. It was not until late in the season of 1926, however, that Rose came through. 3 Myron Welch, a powerf.l end, is another “veteran” of one year’s con- ference play but is regarded as a fixture at his it. Harmon, Barnum, Leitle and Kreuz will not back, having graduated this spring. From the freshmen ranks of last year, Thistlethwaite will have ends, backs, linemen and kickers, but in all the groups there is no triple- threat man who has so far shown marked ability. In all probability the Badger team will be composed of second and third year men as the new coact at- tempts to inaugurate his system at Wisconsin. Ciofoot, quarter, worked with the coach during spring prac- |'prod FOR GOOD YEAR Seven New Men, 20 Experi- enced Veterans Report to Minnesota Coach Minneapo! en new men and 20 experienced vet. erans are included in the first of 27 players to whom Dr. Spe: sued playing numbers at versity of Minnesota.

I was a member of that club. Yet, I do not believe the Cardinals were the best club in the National League last season nor am I convin-ed it was a better club than the Yankees, “Pittsburgh was the best ball club in the National Leagve last year, as it this. Dissension put the Pirates out of it and gave the Car nals the big chance. Perfectly man- ed by Rogers Hornsby, who got everything out of his players, the Cardinals were a sort of team of destiny. “I scouted the Yankees for the world series with th.

FOOTBALL )FUNDAMENTALS As Told By Famous Coaches TO BILLY EVANS Proper gripping of the ball is most necessary in order to obtain ac- curacy when making a forward pass. “There are a number of correct ways to handle the ball, coaches differing on this feature of the play. However, I have found that a great many favor the method of gripping as shown in the illustration. Rati In the illustration, you will notice that the passer is gripping the ball from the rear end as far down toward the center as the size of the hand will permit. In throwing the ball, it is propelled from the rear with a slight downward pull to the outside of the ball with the fingers. The thumb merely guides the ball, while the whole palm of the hand lies flush against the leather. Coaches differ slightly as to the position of the laces. Some maintain that the lace detail has no great bearing on the pass. However, if there is sufficient opportunity to adjust the ball as shown in the picture, before making the pass, it is well to place the thumb as illustrated, with refer- ence to the lacing. This is not really necessary in order to get off a good pass. Arrange the hands in the most efficient possible position on receiving the ball so that there will be a minimum of delay in getting off the play. The passer should remember that when he puts his el ial on the laces, it usually causes the ball to describe a curve that makes the receiving of it more difficult. ee eneenncnioneneney tice sessions and a large representa-|year or next, nor does he expect to tion attended daily.

Pittsburgh Needs to Win Only Two Games to Clinch Pennant OUTLOOK GOOD AT FESSENDEN; VETERANS BACK Nine Men From Last Year Re- turn—Prospects For Suc- cessful Year Are Bright HAVE GOOD NUCLEUS Stabbert, Neunschwander, Tan- ner Likely to Be Bright Stars This Season Fessenden, N. D., September 29.— (Special to the Tribune)—With nine veterans back and with 19 new can- didates for positions out, Fessenden high school is looking forward to a good season this year under the tutelage of Coach Don A. Nemec. Owing to the lateness of starting school here, the team has been handicapped in practice, but work so far indicates a fast, scrappy aggre- gation averaging about 145 pounds, 0. Stabbert, who cera fullback last year, is back and is demonstrat- ing that he is worthy of rank with the best backs state high schools can offer. The other members of the squad have been doing well, and are putting plenty of fight and speed into their work. Veterans returning this year, and the positions in which each will prob- ably py are: O. Stabbert, full- back; H. Bohnet, left half; D. Tan- ner, center; C. Tanner ‘left tackle; R. Neunschwander, left end; W. St. Jacques, quarterback; E. Langseth, right guard; G. Pepple, right end, and H. Thornton, left guard. Tanner and Neunschwander, along with Stabbert, are considered the out- standing men. The schedule this year is as fol- lows: Minot, there, October 1; New Rockford, there, October 7; Sykes- ton, here, October 18; Cooperstown, there, Oct. 22; Harvey, here, October 28; Minnewaukan, here, November 4; Carrington, here, Novembev 10.
