THE INDIANAPOLIS SUNDAY STAR, 'NOVEMBER! 27, 1932. Three Share Honors as Pinch Hitters in Junior Locip 10 ON ARMORY CARD. LEAGUES lid BURNETT BOASTS BASEBALL WORLD SHOCKED BY SUDDEN DEATH OF CHARLEY CARR, FORMER INDIAN MANAGER TONY PIET, PIRATE INFIELDER, PROVES HE PREFERS PLAYING BASEBALL TO EATING MEALS (Bretzman Photo.) record for his first year in fast company, it is not unreasonable to as Ownie Bush, Sol Meyer, Harry Geisel and Jack Hendricks Pay Tribute to Old Friend Days of Long Ago When Deceased Piloted Local Club to A. A. Pennant Recalled.

BY ALFRED J. KOCH 15. CARR. lHARLES C. 56 years old, 4055 Broadway, long ago a diamond star in his own right, as subsequently a successful manager who led the Indianapolis club to the American Association pennant in 1908, and still later a business executive of no mean ability, has joined the brilliant cast of baseball immortals that used to be, and in the sacred hall of memories, where the old-timers often get together, he will continue to live on through the years.

Charley died suddenly in a Memphis (Tenn.) hospital early yesterday and his unexpected departure from this life was a distinct shock to all who knew him. Tributes from Indianapolis men who have become dominant figures in tho national pastime, were generously given last night and today many of Carr's old friends planned to pay their respects at the Flanner fe Buchanan mortuary, where his body will repose. Last rites will be held tomorrow at 3:30 o'clock at the funeral parlor and burial will follow in Crown Hill cemetery. Ownie Bush Grief Stricken. Pprhaps no one bound to that colorful sporting character of another era by the ties of brotherly love was moro affected by the news of his death than Ownie Bush of Indianapolis, who rose to stardom under Carr's tutelage and now Is regarded as one of the game's shrewdest managers.

Bush seemed in a fog and groped for words to express his sorrow. "Ain't it awful? I don't know what I can stiy that's good enough. He built me up, started me on my way and I've always thought he was the grandest man that ever lived. Why I'm crazy about him!" the popular little East side Irishman sobbed as we spared him further words by abruptly closing the conversation. Sol Meyer, who owned the local team which Carr directed to tho championship, praised his former right-hand man for his many fine qualities.

"Charley was a gentleman in every sense of the word he was a fine player, a good manager easy to get along with. I deeply regret the passing of my old friend and business associate." Geisel Is Taken Aback. Harry Geisel, American League umpire, was taken aback when he learned of the tragedy. "Why, I'm so surprised I hardly can believe it," Geisel said. "Well, well, well.

So Charley's gone. Baseball has lost another of its very prominent men and 1 have lost a great friend and booster. Charley aided me con siderably as a youngster when I was breaking in as an umpire around (own. He never was too busy to help any of the boys. I ll never forget him." Jack Hendricks, former minor and major league manager, who now is connected with the local club in an advisory capacity, couldn't believe his ears.

"What's that? Charley Carr's dead? No! Well, I certainly am shocked and grieved. He was a credit to baseball and a credit to his family, and I join all who knew him in mourning his passing. And those few expressions of sentiment would be repeated over and over if contact could be made with all of Charley's acquaintances. Visitor in Sports Department. Only a few months ago Carr dropped into the sports department to talk over old times with the writer.

It was our first meeting, but the minute he settled in a chair, threw his feet up on the desk and touched off a cigarette, the air of reservation that usually follows introductions was dispelled and there sat that kindly character of other veal's. He enjoyed spinning the yarns that revolved around his ca rcer on the diamond and proved a wizard at remembering times and place.t. "The best player I ever Special to The Indianapolis far. PITTSBURGH, Nov. 26.

That aid expression, "He would rather play baseball than eat," has been applied to more than a million boys in the last fifty years, but it is to be doubted if any one of them so well adhered to the saying as Tony Piet, second baseman of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Piet actually proved his case when he declared: "I really and truly did miss my supper day after day in order to play ball. You see, I was working as a clerk in the railroad shops in Chicago when I. was a kid of 16, and I used to go straight from my work to the ballgrounds and play until dark. Supper was over when I got home and so I had to get along with whatever I could find in the Plays in Every Game.

And this intense love of baseball in his youth probably is one of the main reasons why Tony Piet was such a sensation his first year in the big leagues. He performed in every one of the 154 games of the schedule. Besides playing a fine defensive game at second base, this rookie batted .283, making seven home runs, twenty-fi. doubles and 162 base hits. He scored sixty-five runs, and what Is still more important, he batted in eighty-two runs, a remarkable record when you consider his batting average.

It seems that he was a deadly hitter with men on the bases. Piet also stole twenty bases, tying Klein of the Phillies for leadership of the league. -While there is nothing sensational in any particular detail of Piet's work as a major leaguer, yet, when you come to measure up his efficiency in every department of the you find that this youth compiled an impressive record. You find that his value to his team hardlv is be measured by his mere batting erage. He did not miss a day from his team, his defensive nlay was above the average, was most dangerous ai tne Dat wnen there were men on the bases waiting to score and his fleetness of foot accounted for twenty stolen bases.

With such a PITTSBURGH WINS. CONCLUDED. FROM PAGE NINE, defensive play in the Stanford line kept Heller, always a threat, and Sebastian from breaking loose time ana Particularly, Bill Corbus, right guard and the best linesman on the field, stood out in the duel of forward walls, ripping apart the Panther interference, chasing backs to the sideline, smearing them when tney turned in, Don Colvin, on one end, and Bill Doub, on the other, broke up Pitt's wide sweeps continually. Against this Cardinal forward wall none of the Pitt backs could get away for any great distance, though Weinstock broke through center a couple of times for twenty yards. He was in the clear once in the final quarter, breaking away from his thirty-five-yard line, but he was called back because Corbus had stopped him momentarily as he hammered through the line.

Heller Outstanding. In similar fashion aid Joe Skla-dany, a big, workmanlike end, hold the Panther fort along with Ted Dailcy on the other wing, Paul Cuba and Frank Walton, a pair or 220-pound tackles, and the burly center trio of Charles Hartwig, Joe Tormcy and Turry Onder. Puncturing either these lines was a thankless task for any ball carrier. Heller, in addition to his offensive threats, made three-quarters of the tackles that evaded his linemen. In scoring only 7 points on Stan ford, Pitt failed to equal Southern California's 13-to-0 margin of conquest over the Cardinals who have been beaten four times this season and held to a scoreless tie by California.

U. C. L. A. also beat Stanford.

33 to 0, while Washington won. 18 to 13, the same margin by which Pitt defeated Army. The defeat was the first in Stan ford's intersectional duels with the East since Warner took over the Cardinal forces. DENVER CAPTAIN DIES. DENVER, Nov.

26. (Den ver university lootDall captain John Panek, 23 years old, died in a hospital here today of influenza and general infection. Panek, a junior at the university, had been ill a week, but school authorities said there was nothing to link his death with football. TO EVADE DEBTS Smaller Circuits Will Ask Major "Loops to' Cancel Obligations. NEW YORK; Nov.

26. (U.P.)- The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues is expected to move at its Columbus (O.) meeting next month to have major leagu clubs cancel all debts owed them by minor clubs as the only salvation for many of the latter. This project is not listed on the association's agenda, but it probably will be the most important matter considered at the minor league meeting. Minor officials have been discussing the matter for some -time. Many of the minor clubs, particu larly in the Grade and divisions, are so heavily in debt major clubs that it is impossible for present owners, who haven't suffi cient funds to operate the clubs properly, to sell them to men Who have money.

Prospective purchasers won't buy clubs that are buried under old paper. Most of these debts) are for players sent down from the majors, and some of them are ten or more years old. Minor league officials believe that a clean- sweep of the debt situation would bring new money and new-blood into the lower teams, thereby bolstering the whole baseball picture. Unless something like this is dope many of the clubs are expected to fold up within the next year. Economy to Be Stressed, A special committee may be appointed to represent the association in appealing for cancellation.

If this committee is appointed, it probably will appear at the National League meeting in New York on Dec. 13. In keeping with the association' campaign for economy, the meeting also will consider the reduction of salary and player limits for all classifications of leagues and the discontinuance of broadcasting homo games. Of the three Grade AA leagues, the American Association already has reduced its total monthly club salary for all players to $6,500. The International League has cut from $13,000 to $8,200, and the Pacific Coast League is expected to do likewise.

Leagues in the Grade A division are expected to reduce their total monthly player salary from $5,000 to $3,500, and the and divisions probably will follow suit. The broadcasting of home games is looked upon with disfavor by most minor league officials. They believe it cuts down the gate, and are expected to vote to have it discontinued. The meeting will be held Dec. 7, 8 and 9.

EASTERN RIVALS PLAY TO DRAW IN COLORLESS TILT, WORCESTER. Nov. The Holy Cross football team that started the season with the brightest prospects in its history; reached its drab climax today by knllnw nnnnnr11.r i. i ton college rivals to a scoreless tie without making a first down and gaining but fifteen yards rushing the ball. About ten thousand spectators, one of the smallest crowds to attend this thirty-year-old Jesuit classic, played in Worcester for the first time in sev enteen years, braved subfreezing: temperature to witness what turned out to be a colorless exhibition.

Only the fine punting of Joe Am brose saved them from two or more Boston touchdowns. At least a dozen times that hard-working right end dropped back to boot his team out of the tight spots.

The Boston attack, which had fal tered against every other major op ponent, clicked for seven first downs and a total gain of ninety-nine yards. AMERICAN ENTRY COPS BRITISH RACE MANCHESTER, England, Nov. 26. Hypostyle, owned by the American, Mrs. Chester Beatty, won the November Handicap today.

Life Story Piet's life story makes interesting and helpful reading for any boy who loves his baseball. He was born in Berwick, in 1909, and came of Polish parentage. His last name when spelled out in full is Pietrus-zka.

He dropped the last six letters in the interest of the scorekeeper. His father was a steel worker in the mills near Scranton. The family moved to Chicago in Piet's youth, where he began- his baseball career in grammar school. "I tell you honestly, I just loved baseball," said the boy. "1 played it all the time.

I used to go without supper day after day in order to play ball until dark. My mother used to worry about me because of my weight. I was as thin as a broom straw in those days. I spent every cent of money that I could spare from the necessities of life for base ball trappings. I was proud and happy when I made the high school team and then later was assigned to a place on the railroad team.

"I was just 16 when I got a job on a semipro team in Chicago. When I was 18 I left home on my own hook' and went to Fort Worth, to try to get a job on the club there. I had had no offer from any professional club, nor any encouragement, but I had heard of lots, of fellows who had pushed in and won a place on Class and Class teams and I thought I could do it, too. i Cried on Fort Worth Street. "I was a pretty lonely boy the morning I landed in Fort Worth.

And I was lonelier still when I was turned down flat in my effort to make the team. I am not ashamed to say that I felt so badly that' I cried right there on that Fort Worth street. But I braced' up a bit and went over to Dallas to seek a job. They kept me a month, and then the business manager cut all the robkies off the pay roll. I went to Corsicana and they took me on trial.

I wanted to play second base, but the manager was playing second base himself, so he insisted that I go In and pitch for him. I did, or rather I tried to. And then the manager turned his ankle and he put me in his place at second base. That was the first real break I got in baseball. "I think the greatest thrill that I ever got in my baseball life was when the wife of the manager told me one day that her husband's ankle was well again, but that he could not get back to his old lob on second base, as I had beat him out of it.

He played in the outfield the rest of that season. That was in 1928, and I was just 19 years old wen." Finally Comes Into Own. Piet was sold to Waco in 1929, and farmed out that year to Monroe, where he hit .400. He was sold to Cleveland at the end of the season. out was not even given a trial bv that club.

Back in Waco in 1930 he batted .319 and hit twenty-six home runs. He was sold to Pittsburgh and farmed out to Wichita for the 1931 season. He hit .310 in 106 games and then was called in to the Pirate headquarters in August of that year ana played iorty-iour games. His play at second base and his batting at the close of the season that year stamped him as a comer. And his work this year more than bore out all the promise of his waning days oi tne laai season.

Piet is a manly, earnest and most prepossessing young chap. His whole heart and soul are WTapped up in the national game. He is a bundle of nerves and energy and he also has a rugged constitution to carry him through the grind of a baseball year. Andy Kerr May Coach in 2 Post-Season Games PITTSBURGH, Nov. 26.

(3) Andy Kerr, coach of the Colgate football team which lieid its op ponents scoreless this season, may do double duty in post-season games. He is co-coach with Dick Hanley of Northwestern in grooming an all-Eastern team for its Christmas holiday battle with the all-Western team, while Colgate may be selected for the Tournament of Roses game in Pasadena, New Year's day. "Regardless of the Colgate team's participation in the Rose' bowl game," he said today, "I will continue in my official capacity as co-leader of the all-East Club. Of course, if the Raiders get the New Year's bid I will hardly be able to do any actual coaching of the all-Eastern team." Kerr, in Pittsburgh to witness' the Pitt-Stanford game, will confer with Hanley here temorrow, he said. Last night he stayed at Shadyside academy where he talked over plans for beating Pitt with Coach "Pop" i Warner of the Stanford eleven.

rA I A ft SMITH a few steps and feinted to throw a long forward pass far down the held. "Instead he whipped a short, fast pass only about five yards beyond the line of scrimmage to Left End Thurbcr. "The instant Thurber caught the ball he was tackled, but as he was hit he whirled around and tossed the ball laterally to Kummer, Wisconsin right guard. Defense Off Guard. ''Our secondary defense, thrown off guard by the threat of a long pass which was the logical, gambling sort of play in that situation-was further surprised by this second development, and Kummer ran untouched the remaining distance to the goal.

"Fortunately for us, Wisconsin's attempt to kick goal failed and we pulled out a 7-to-6 victory, but the exceptionally smart thinking and smooth execution of all three players' Immediately concerned with putting over this play make it out- standing in my mind." HAEKY DCBLINSKY. Harry DublinnTky, Chicago light weight, will make his second appear ance of the month at the Armory Tuesday night when he meets Tracy Cox over the ten-round route. Earlier this month he outpointed and out-boxed Hershie Wilson of this city in ten rounds and last summer outpoint ed Cox at the ball yard in the same number of rounds.

Why, man alive, I never have seen his like in my life What a shortstop and a fighter he was! He used to come in on the grass and defy opposing batsmen. 'C'mon, hit it to me, try and hit it past Bush used to cry. And when the batters did lay one down that was humanly possible to snag they were dead babies, take it from me." Bush, as we all know, developed into a sensation under Carr and plaj-ed with the Detroit Americans far many years. Rube Marquard, a deceptive southpaw twirler if ever there was one, also was developed by Carr and he went up from Indianapolis to the New York Nationals, whero he established a world record by winning nineteen consecutive games. Other great performers who went through their paces with Carr included Paddy Livingston, Eddie Sievcr, Bull Durham, Otto Williams, Billy Hopke and Jack Hayden, Barn In Pennsylvania.

Carr was born at Coatesville, Dec. 27, 1875, the son of Charles and Anna Carr. He completed his elementary and high school courses in that town and later attended Lehigh university. Charley's career as a ball player began in Although he has gone, let us read of his experiences as he told them to the writer one day early last May. 'It was along in '97 that I started as a catcher with the Rochester club of the Eastern League.

And start was about all I did. My throwing arm went dead almost at the outset and I was forced to try another posi tion. I tried my hand at. first base, but for awhile I didn't do so well. Finally I began to feel at home there and improved rapidly.

As a first sacker, I did quite a lot of traveling in the next few years, playing with Washington, Worcester, Toronto, Jersey City, Detroit and Cleveland. In 1906, with the under standing that I would serve as manager, I went to Cincinnati, but I didn't hit it off with an influential sports writer on the Enquirer, so I was forced to hunt a job elsewhere after starting that season with the Reds. First Team Finishes Last. "And then I came to Indianapolis. My team finished in last place in '06 but the attendance was so satisfactory and the club showed such future promise that I was permitted to twuig around.

In (is we won tne pennant. We played before 500,000 spectators that year. Think of that, and reflect on the situation today "I left Indianapolis before the end of the 1910 season and called off my a touchdown and win the game, to 7. "We had been using flat pass1 all day and virtually had scored our touchdown bv this method of play, although it rained through most of tho game and (he going was sup nerv and the ball sodden. "Joe Berry, John Fletcher and Ransom Livesay, all had caught passes for good gains in flat territory and, naturally, Oregon was expecting that kind of a pass again.

Blocks Out Safety Man. "Frankovich crossed them up. Berry, a halfback, and Bob McChes-ney, left end, decoyed the Webfoot secondary into the flat zones. Frankovich faded back of his goal line and threw a long pass to Live-say, left halfback, over the center of tho line. "As Livesay caught Iho ball and was about to bo downed by tho Oregon McChcsney cut to the right and blocked out tho would-be tackier.

Livesay ran unmolested to the goal, with the final gun sounding before he crossed the line," to to C. CARR. playing days after four more years." In 1914, when Carr retired from the game, he turned his entire attention the manufacturing business which he had established in Cleveland some years before. The business 'was moved to Indianapolis in 1908 and consisted of the production of all kinds of athletic equipment. He sold retailers and jobbers in all parts cf the country and it was for business reasons that he was in Memphis where his death occurred.

Charley Carr will be laid to rest for all eternity tomorrow and to all appearances that will be the end. But not so. The fleeting years will bring added reverence to his name and all that he stood for in baseball, and in the sacred hall of memories where the old-timers often get together, he will continue to live on through the years. NOTRE DAME VICTOR CONCLUDED FROM PAGE NINE. the backs who cleaned out the secondary defense." He praised Kosky, Harris and JJe- vore lavishly.

"Our big lob now is to get ready for the tough game two weeks hence with U. S. C. We'll start right in next week with plenty of hard work for we have to leave South Bend a week from Monday." Cadets Look Toward Navy. Outside the Notre Dame dressing room things were different.

Alumni nd alumni bv adoption milled about and fought with stadium guards for a look at the "Irish" players. The Army players took their defeat good-naturedly. They hoped for a victory over Notre Dame because their eleven was represented as being the best in the history of the military academy. But, to quote a cadet, "a defeat by a Notre Dame team is a licking by a mighty good team. A loss against Navy next week, however, would be a tragedy." "Notre Dame won because it played swell football and deserved to win," Maj.

Ralph Sasse, retiring coach at West Point, said. "I was not disap pointed with my team's showing. After all, it's just amateur football and we just look at it that way.
