f | Northern en's thirty-fourth THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1930 Four 1931 Major League Baseball Deals Are Completed. | SWEETLAND, (DOUL, THOMPSON, ELLIOTT, DUD ARE TRADED| Joseph V. McCarthy Signs Con- tract With Ruppert to Manage Yankees BRAVES ACQUIRE RECRUITS Phils Get Elliott and Dudley, While Boston Gets McAfee and Schulmerick New York, Oct. 15—(?)—Gloves and bats may be laid away until next spring but the search of baseball magnates for the means by which their clubs can be strengthened goes on forever. The 1930 season has barely closed but already four deals of major in- terest to National and American league fans have been completed. The Chicago Cubs made the first move by obtaining Lester Sweetland, an effective southpaw, from the Phillies in a straight cash deal. Yes- terday the Brooklyn Robins and Bos- ton Braves both announced player deals of major importance while Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York Yankees, did the expected and signed Joe McCarthy, former Cub pilot, to manage the Yankees for the next two years at a reported of $30,000 a year. The Robins, who faltered in the home stretch after giving all National league contenders an argument through most of the season, appar- ently have made a 10-strike in ac- quiring the services of Frank (Lefty) O'Doul, outfielder, and Fresco Thomp- son, second baseman. In exchange the Robins gave to the Phillies Jumbo Jim Elliott, left handed pitcher; Clise Dudley,. right-hander, Hall Lee, rookie outfielder, and a bundle of cash. ‘The Braves have acquired Wesley Schulmerick, Los Angeles outfielder, and William McAfee, Chicago recruit, in a deal by which Pitcher Bob Smith went to the Cubs and Outfielder Jim- my Welsh to Los Angeles. The move by which McCarthy, suc- ceeded by Rogers Hornsby as man- ager of the Cubs, dons an American league uniform, had been expected by the experts ever since the world’s series. McCarthy declared it was the “best contract I ever signed.” Base- ball observers, basing their observa- tions on the reputed $25,000 a year McCarthy received from the Cubs, wrote down $30,000 as the probable annual salary he will draw from the Yankees. eacoect told McCarthy he confi- Sently expected him to develop a pennat~- winner and added: “You and you alone will be the manager.” Ruppert said he had obtained Mc- Carthy as ‘Bob Shawkey’s successor because of the National leaguer’s greater managerial experience. “Shawkey did as well as any man- ager could have done with the Yan- ‘kees last season,” Ruppert said, “and I hope he will become a great man- ager.” Quier Defeated in Surprise Match of Women’s Tourney Californian Turns Trick; All Other Favorites Win Handily r Los Angeles, Oct. 15.—(#)—The name of Miss Edith Quier was crossed: | from the list of contenders in the first round match play as the wom- national golf tournament moved into the second bracket today. The freckle-faced Reading, Pa. girl, a member of the 1930 United States Curtis cup team, succumbed yesterday to the steady playing of Mrs. Brent Potter, northern Califor- nia champion, in the biggest sur- prise the initial round had to offer. The count was 2 up. All other favorites, including the title defender, Miss Glenna Collett, and two former champions, Mrs. Dor- ethy Campbell Hurd and Miss Mar- } ion Hollins, won in conventional fashion. Miss Collett trounced Mrs. Harry Grossman, Los Angeles, 6 and 4. Mrs, Hurd won from Mrs. Russell Fowles, Long Beach, Calif, by the same score. Miss Hollins encounter- ed some difficulty in defeating Mrs. John Taylor, Evanston, Ill., 3 and 2. Two of the youngest stars in the tourney furnished a brilliant first round match when Miss Helen Hicks, 19, former Canadian champion from Inwood, N. Y., shot sub-par golf, to Cefeat Miss Lucille De Long, 18-year- ) eld Coronado, Calif., entrant, 3 and 1. Mrs. O. 8. Hill, Kansas City, med- alist, and Miss Bernice Wall, Oshkosh, Wis., both semifinalists a year ago, furnished one of the best matches of the day. Failure of Miss Wall to straighten out her wood shots was _ largely responsible for defeat, 4 and 3. [ Fights Last Night OH (By the Associated Press) feux City, In.

Hundreds of old grads and former students, friends of the University and just plain football fans will move to Grand Forks for the big celebration which opens with the alumni banquet at 6 o'clock Oct. 17. This will be followed by the freshman game between the Flickertails and Bison the same evening at 8 o'clock ender the stadium lights. Always at the forefront of the conference championship race the Jackrabbits face the Nodaks this year as bend “dark horse” of the circuit. While the strength of the other four contenders has been more or less deter- ler fire, Cy Casper's Bunnies will play their first conference game against the Flickertails, aa the two years just passed and in which North Dakota won two successive championships, South Dakota State was the team North Dakota had to beat to gain the title. In 1928 the Nodaks nosed out a 6 to 0 victory just before the close of the battle and after State had crossed he Flickertail goal line, fumbled and lost the ball. Again last year Englemann put the Bunnies ahead 6 to 0 on the second play of the game and North Dakota won by 7 to 6. Pro Golf Program Richest in History Big Prizes Offered This Winter in Pacific Northwest and in California Chicago, Oct. 15.—(#)—Professional golfers of America are shining up their war clubs for a record cash Plunder from tournaments this win- ter. Already, many new tournaments have been scheduled and the Profes- sional Golfers’ Association of Amer- ica reports the winter campaign will be the richest in its history. The first event on the schedule is the Salt Lake City open, Oct. 25 to 26, for a purse of $5,000. Special interest is attached to this competition inas- much as George yon En will official- ly desert the amateur ranks and join the Farrells, Hagens, .Armours and Smiths as a "business man” golfer. From there the money playing caravan of golfers moves to the Pa- cific northwest for tournaments at Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, and Port- land throughout November. After that, the caravan moves on to Cali- fornia for probably the richest season in that state—a program including the ‘first annual San Francisco open match play championship with prize money of $7,500, Dec. 4 to 7; the Catalina $7,500 open, Dec. 11 to 14; the Pasadena $4,000 open, Dec. 19 to 21; the Glendale $2,500 open, Dec. 27 and 28; the $3,500 Long Beach open, Jan. 2 to 4; the $10,000 Los Angeles open, Jan. 9 to 11, and the richest of them all, the $25,000 Agua Caliente open, Jan. 12 to 17.

Michigan has not had what Michi- gan calls @ successful football season since 1926, but with a victory over Purdue, the 1929 Big Ten champion, already accomplished, hope is high in Ann Arbor for an ut con- ference slate. If the Wolverine gets by the powerful, but somewhat green Ohio eleven, Michigan supporters may reasonably expect to win the balance of its Big Ten games. Running Attack Powerful Ohio demonstrated it has a power- ful running offense when it made 13 first downs against Northwestern last week, The punch was lacking in scoring territory, but Coach Willaman has polished off the rough edges this week and Michigan probably will find the Buckeyes tougher than purdue Proved last week. ‘Unless some new piece of ill for- tune comes along today, Northwestern football men and students probably will feel a little disappointed. For the last week the Wildcats have aver- aged almost a jolt a day, with the loss yesterday through ineligibilty of Harry Kent, a fine guard, the latest blow, Coach Dick Hanley has been unable to work his team strenuously because of wholesale vaccinations, and doesn’t even have an idea as to who will start against Illinois Sat- urday, The Illini are concentrating on a defense against Northwestern's wing- back maneuvers, as well as on an elaborate passing game. Minnesota’s defense ihegeed pretty well set and Coach Crisler is round- ing out his offense for use against Indiana Saturday. The Hoosiers are more worried about the Gopher of- fense and are busily working on de- fensive details. Purdue Reserves Improve Purdue's reserve team has shown immense improvement this week and Coach Kizer has indicated he may try the shock troop system against Towa. The Hawkeyes continue to drill on scoring stuff and yesterday made a strong: showing against the freshmen. Pennsylvania formations have failed to do much business against Wis- consin’s varsity and the Badgers are almost Frankly confident of turning back the eastern invaders Saturday. Injuries have hampered Chicago’s drills for the Florida contest Satur- day, but Coach Stagg is outspoken in his belief the Maroons will give the powerful 'Gators a stiff battle. Notre Dame's big scrimmage of the week was on today’s schedule. Coach Rockne gave the Irish another long drill on fundamentals yesterday and juggled his first and second lines in an effort to determine the most pow- erful combination possible for the struggle with Carnegie’s vaunted eleven.
