Paul ring. This announcement was made yesterday. The burly scrapper left Bismarck last night where he will enter training for the go. The Sanger clouter meets Tommy Havel, Pine City, Minn, in a six- round semi-windup to the Harry Dil- lon-Mike Mandell headline affair. Needless to say, Jack expects to land a quick and decisive knockout victory over his young opponent. He has been in training for over two months in St. Paul and Bismarck, and before leaving last night said “he never felt better in his life.” The two boys will meet at 190 pounds. Jack has been dickering for a battle with the winner of the Dil- lon-Mandell spectacle. The St. Paul fight, the local pounder announced, is merely a step-up bout on his win- ter program. le expects to stage a few jousts in the northwest and then leave fo- the New York area where Leo ?. Flynn, his manager, has outlined an intensive winter pro- gram for him. The card, which will have 40 rounds of first class milling, is be- ing promoted by Mike E. Collins in the Minneapolis Auditorium. Harry Dillon, nipeg, who looked like a champion in his recent victory over Dick Danie‘s,,is meet- ing Mike Mandell, the St. Paul sen- sation, in the 19-round headliner at 182 pounds. Jack Carroll, Minneapolis knock- out puncher, will go four rounds with Tom Haley, Olivia, Minn., in another fight and 20 more rounds have been arranged to complete the program. Roy Michaelson, who knocked out Eddie Johnson, La Crosse, Wis., in one round last Friday night on the illon-Daniels fight card, will be pit- ainst some good middleweight in another six-rounder and Britt Gorman may be matched with Ernie Peters. The Minneapolis Auditorium will seat 14,000. TROJAN PLAYER YOUNG AT GAME Los Angeles, Dec. 12.—(AP)—At an age when most boys are in high school, Marshall Duffield, 18-year- old sophmomore, absorbed the hard knocks of major conference football this year as a member of Southern California’s varsity team. The tow-headed Santa Monica, Calif., youngster was the youngest player in the Pacific Coast confer- ence, but despite his youthfulness he passed all physical requirements and outweighted any other Trojan quarterback, scaling 172. “Dynamic” Don Williams, Trojan thunderbolt, tipped the beam at 158 and was the next heaviest. As a substitute for Williams, Duffield proved a sensation. He got into play in every game of the season and during the illness of Williams took over the quarterback reins and piloted the Trojans to a 2” to 13 victory over Washington state. Hie drop kicking ability was utilized to advantage. Carnegie Tech Has Had Last Captains Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 12—Carnegie Tech will follow the lead of Oregon State, Ohio State and other teams who do not have football captains.

Led s “Chipper Char. ley” Hyatt of Uniontown, Pa., the Panthers open their season against Butler at Indianapolis December 13. The schedule contains 19 games, sev- eral of which are with Western Con- | ference fives. The others are with leading teams of the East and of the Pittsburgh-West Virginia regions. The Panthers went West last sea- son and trounced Michigan, Chicago, Northwestern and Iowa in five nights and then swept on to a total of 21 victories. Dr. H. C. Carlson, the coach, says championship outfit, despite the loss of several regulars. Hyatt the outstanding star, scored 292 points—120 field goals and 52 free throws, for an average of 14 points a game—last year. The Panthers averaged 48 points a game. Hyatt and two other veterans will be in the lineup this season—Paul Zehfuss, forward, and Captain Charles Wunderlich, center, Ed Baker of Nanticoke, a freshman, who shows real ability at the game, will be a regular, as will Charles Arthers of McKeesport, Ray Montgomery, Wheeling, W. Phil Aiello, William Arture and Patton. Baker is expected to msation. He shoots from un- canny angles and is accurate. Important 1928-29 tilts for the Panthers include games with five Western Conference teams—North- western, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Iowa and Indiana—Army, Notre Dame, Dartmouth, Carnegie, West Virginia, Washington & Jefferson and Penn State. Also Goes for Basketball Tom Connell, Detroit’s outstanding back this year, went straight from football togs to basketball togs when the grid season ended.

Run along be- fore I spank you.” Pladner was held up for an hour, and was, admitted only when Jeff Dickson, the promoter, personally vouched for him, Undefeated Detroit Gridders Meet W. Va.

Fesler, so we judge from the man- ner in which practically every im- portant expert picked him for All- America, is the standout end of the year just like Cagle, Strong and Harpster are standout backs and Pund is the standout center. And every time Russ Ashbaugh, coach of Fesler’s high school team at Youngstown, O, sees an All-America selection with Fesler’s name at end, he chuckles a bit harder. Ashbaugh, and All-America at Brown 20 years ago, had Fesler aiding him in getting his school out- fit together early in September be- fore Ohio State practice started, and heard Fesler sing the blues almost every day about his chances of mak- ing the varsity at Columbus. “The kid couldn’t see where he had a chance to make the team, mind you, and now he is an All-America end,” he says. “Well, he deserves it. He is a great player.” . Tackle Boosts Him ._ The original “Fesler for All-Amer- ica” booster is Dick Larkins, a tackle on the same team. He plays next to Fesler. Before the Ohio State-Princeton game Fesler, along with Larkins, erent the night at a friend’s house. hile they were dressing the next morning Larkins dropped his arms around Fesler’s shoulders and talked to him about the coming game. “Say, it’s about time for some of you, ends to get going for that All-America team,” he told Fesler, “and TODAY is THE day for you to do your stuff. Get out there be- fore all these experts today and make the All-America. You can do| it and I'll help you!” As a concluding remark, he gave Fesle®a friendly tap on the nose which brought forth Biood, but Fes- | ler played his heart out against Princeton. That was his first big step towards the All-America honor, Story Book Hero Fesler, as mentioned above, is one of those story book heroes whose deeds inspire the younger generation | to bigger and better things. He has had, no bad habits.” He doesn’t swear. He is the leader of a Sunday school class in his home town. He works hard every day at practice. He trains strictly, And he is an “A” student in his classes of the engineering school. KNOW WOODROW WILSON New Haven, Conn., Dec. 12.—() When Yale men are mailed their football tickets they are reminded of an old rival on the gridiron. The stamp bears the portrait of a for- mer president of Princeton Univer- versity, Woodrow Wilson. West Virginia, in 10 games this year, gained an average of six and | two-fifth yards every time they car- ried the ball offensively. bl-Amer Plan Would Do Away With Necessity of Pitcher Batting Pitcher Would Be Tenth Man _New York, Dec. 12—(AP)—Na- tional League officers are in favor of 10-man baseball teams and pitch- ers who are ‘ust that and nothing more. What’s more they will take their plan with them to Chicago for consideration at the joint meeting with the American League tomor- row. John A. Heydler, just reelected as president of the National League for four more years, suggested a radi- cal change in the rules whereby weak-hitting pitchers would have somebody else to do their batting and base-running for them. While his club owners inclined a favorable ear, Mr. Heydler explained that he felt the rule change would speed up baseball and at the same time, obvi- ate the necessity of having so many pinch hitters. Pitchers Weak Hitters Said Mr. Heydler: “With a few exceptions practical- ly all pitchers are weak hitters and weaker base runners. When they come to hat they litterally put a drag on the game. No one expects them to do anything andsthey sim- Ply suspend the action of play. “Now it is my idea that this could be eliminated with the adoption of a rule permitting a pinch hitter to do the batting for the pitcher each time the pitcher’s regular time at bat came around without forcing the removal of the pitcher from the game. This, of course, is only a suggestion and there doubtless are several details that would have to be worked out later. For one, I think it would be best if the same pinch hitter did all the batting for one pitcher and that this batter be desig- nated by the manager before game- time. “With the adoption of this rule we would do away with the neces- may be pitching very well but has to make way for a pinch hitter be- cause his team is in need of a run. Mr. Heydler pointed out that the rule need not be compulsory so that good-hitting pitchers could be per- mitted to take their regular time at bat if managers so desired. Provided the suggestion meets with American League favor it is possible that a special meeting of the rules committee would be called in time to place the suggested change in effect before the 1929 sea- son starts. Mr. Heydler’s radical suggestion was the spice of an otherwise rou- tine meeting of the National League. Directors Are Elected After reelecting Mr. Heydler for four years at an increase in salary, the magnates elected a new board of directors under the rotation sys- tem; and decided that hereafter balls hit outside th: park whether into bleachers or not will be ad- judged fair or foul at the spot that they leave the field. Previously a ball, hit outside the park but not into a stand, was ruled fair or foul according to where it was last seen by the um- pire. The “white ball” rule was or- dered because of a promise by man- ufacturers .that hereafter the balls will be made without gloss. Um- pires have rubbed the ball in the soil to remove this gloss in the past.

STOCK MARKET [Dead Fout shot |] BULLISH TODAY AMERICAN LOOP Junior Circuit Officials and Club Owners Go in Huddle; Many Sales Chicago, Dec. 12,—The American league player market is still bullish, but the bears persevered with great expectancy for the big break in prices as junior circuit officials and club owners went into a huddle again today. Several deals for trades and out- right sales of playing talent, were expected to be consummated. The trading movement overshadowed in importance the business meeting of the officials at which nothing but routine matters were listed for secret discussion, ~ Only two deals were made after a score of conferences among man- agers yesterday, one swapped George Uhle, Cleveland pitcher, to Detroit in exchange for Shortstop Jack Tavener and Pitcher Kenn Hol- loway; the other was the outright sale of First Baseman Johnny Neun by Detroit to the Toledo club of the American association. While the various club managers still persisted in demands for full value for every trade or sale, more than a score of players were known to be in the market. Every manager and club owner has one or more deals on the fire. Everything of interest to come up before the junior circuit officials and owners was expected to be held over for the joint meeting with the National league tomorrow. American league owners yester- day voted to continue support of the American legion junior _ baseball championship program and favored a five-year program of subscribing $5,000 annually to the National As- sociation of Professional Baseball Players. The National league must act favorably on the latter proposal before it is put into action: B. K. Skeels, lamps, etc. Blue & White Cab C Soo Line Telegraph gram ..

Editor Tribune: Dear Sir:—Your paper is so wide- ly read that any reminder in its col- umns reaches many homes, so I shall be glad if you print this letter. Few owners of dogs realize how much animals suffer from lack of water. Three dogs came into our yard the other day to gnaw a cake of ice. Seeing how thirsty they were, I brought them a pan of wa- ter. How they drank! It seemed as though they could not get enough, When finally they ceased drinking, they lingered near, and came back again and in for more water. One black-and-white dog drank five times! These dogs were all well fed, evidently household pets, but the owners who gave them food daily never thought to give them drink. There should be water with- in a dog’s reach all day long, espe- cially in cold ~ eather when he can’t find any out of doors.
