Football news, professional In partlcualr, swept Into Chicago in large and1 Important quantity and quality yesterday. Harold Grange arrived from New York accompanied by three of the young men who afe expected to aid him In his quest for touchdowns' this season as a member of Mr. Charles personally directed New York Yankee club. Next, and perhaps Just as Important from a Chicago professional football man's viewpoint, at least, came an announcement that Faddy Drlscoll, former Northwestern university star and more recently the big gun of the Chicago Cardinals, had severed his connections with the Chris O'Brien organisation. Drlscoll has angled for his release from the Cardinals for the past five years but always at the last minute has decided to remain with the Houth Slders.

O'Brien, it is understood, gave Drlscoll his unconditional release without a financial transaction, Drlscoll Is now free to dicker with any and all football clubs. It-Is Hld that both the Bears of the National league and the Bulls of the American league are angling for his services.

Drlscoll will sign with the club that offers him the most money. Paddy realizes better than any one else, that his starring days are numbered and he is out to make the most of those that remain. Previous to the advent of Grange into the. professional 'field Drhuoll was the highest salaried player In the league. Another development of considerable importance yesterday was the announcement of the reinstatement of Art Fots, former Englewood star, by the National league.

Fotz, It will be remembered, was banished by President Joe Carr late last season for alleged participation In the high school scandal which Involved several Englewood players in a game between the Cardinals and Carr Clears All Pros. It now appears Carr has whitewashed every one connected with the alleged scandal except-the three high school players, who' were banned by the Chicago Publid High School league. Chris O'Brien, owner of the was fined for his part In the scandal but the fine was refunded at the annual meeting of the league.
