They may even decide to hold out for higher salaries. That would make life rather trying for Mr. Navin who has not had a holdout among nis piayers lor years. The news that the vice president or the American League has adont ed the bonus system Is likely to be received with many a grimace in certain baseball circles. Some of the other club chiefs believe that this system does more harm than good to a club.

During the World Series, some of tne visiting firemen severely crltt cized the Chicago White Sox man agement for having made a bonus arrangement with George Earn. shaw, big right-handed pitcher. Earnshaw last season was paid $500 for every game he won above a cer tain number. Bad for Baseball? That's a bad arrangement for baseball," said one man who has the game's interest at heart "If that system is adopted all around, it is going to dlsruDt manv a team. Can you think what an underpaid shortstop might do if he were given the opportunity to brood over the fact that every game a well paid pitcher might win would mean $500 more In the pitcher's pocket?" The Detroit Club management Is not likely to have any contract dif ficulties with Cochrane this year, however.

When Mickey succeeded Bucky Harris as manager of the Tigers, he signed a two-year contract The amount of his salary was not announced, but Mr. Navin apparently decided it was not large enough for a man who brought Detroit its first World Series in 25 years.

It marked the Lion's fifth successive victory and stamped the Lion defense as the greatest in the league. No team has scored on the Lions. The game was packed with ac tion and sparkling playi from the starting kickoff to the final gun. The IJons.

again paced by Earl (Dutch) Clark, ace quarterback, unleased a colorful offense that not only chalked up three touch downs, a field goal and three added points after touchdowns, but thrilled staid old football fans. There waa good punting and pass ing. The defensive work of the Lions waa almost flawless.

Nitahff af panu 10 AArraK. rfl.tanr. af 3rt A ant. Inat, analtlra 5 FambU. moons, The Redskins, although obviously a beaten team by tha third period, never relinquished a determination to mar their rival perfect defensive record.

Lions' Offense Clicks But last night the Lion's best de fense waa an offense that was directed at every part of the Redskin team, and worked. It worked because Father Lumpkin blocked well. It worked because the big Lion ends, Ebding and McKalip, performed a great job of smashing down Redakin tackles. The Lions' line blocked the Boston secondary, paving the way for favorable position on the field. Clark was a master at punt han dling and Frank Chrlstensen bettered the mighty Cliff Battlei in a punting duel.

Clark distributed the scoring honors evenly. He put his mates In the lead late in the second period with a perfect field goa' kicked from the 33-yard line. The touchdowns were scored by F. Chrlstensen, Ace Gutowsky an' Glenn Presnell. Quick Kick Cause Trouble Only once during the gam dl the Lion defense falter, that we-: early In the first period when Bat ties quick-kicked over Clark' head, forcing F.

Chrlstensen to kick from his own end zone. Battles had the best of a punting duel for the ftm quarter and it wasn't until late the second quarter that the Lion battled themselves out Ino scorln-, position. A 30-yard pas by Ebding a vanced the ball from the Lion 40 yard line to the Redskins 25-yan' line In the second period. ClaH mixed his plavs nicely, and with himself and Chrlstensen carryln; the ball went to the. Boston six.

But the Redskins made a great defensive stand and the Jons lost the ball on downs. Then after the-first exchange of punts Clark maneuvered his team into position for his field goal. Father Lumpkin started the touchdown parade in the second half, Taking BattUs' kickoff on his four-yard line he lowered his head and battered hi way to the 20-yard line. Nine play later Chrlstensen pounded his way through the Boston right guard for a touchdown. Clark Lead Drive Of those nine play Clark carried the ball four times.

He played no favorite. Ha hit at the tackles, smashed through guard ar.d swept the end. It was a remarkable march through a fighting Boston team. Five minutes later the Lior.s were touchdown bound again following a 30-yard pass from Clark to Ebding which placed the ball on the Redskin 25. Lumpkin was Injured during a smashing drive at the Boston tackles and Ace Gutowsky went In with the ball on the six-yard line.

He carried the bail on the first play and smixhed through between right tackle and guard for the second touchdown. Midway In the final period Ernie Caddel, who wa outstanding last night as a defensive halfback and ball carrier, made the longest run of the game when be skirted the Redskin right end for 52 yards. He was hauled down on the five-yard line by Battles. A smash at tha line and Presnell swept the Boston left end for the final touchdown. He added the extra point with a place kick.

Thus did the Lion show that they not only had great defensive power but an offense that outclassed a good rival team. The Lions completely vindicated Coach Clark' statement that he had a capable star for every poitlon on the field. HED8KIXS LIONS Male VrK.lIn Mwarda L. T. JohfUMa Walla Hoair row Randolph 6.

Rltvr I faraa. I I.it Lmith Lracfc ilim), Aug and Ellis Miss Targets With Throws Regulars Do Better Against Georgia Tech Passes ANN ARBOR, Oct 17 One day the Michigan football team looks like an outfit that Is ready to click, really prepared to knock off some of the "big boys," as Coach Klpke has predicted It would, but the next day It is just another football team. In today's practice on South Ferry Field It was of the latter type. 'The drill centered mainly around the attempt to build a passing attack and to stem the forward passes that Georgia Tech will throw Saturday. But from the standpoint of effectiveness little seemed to be accomplished.

Whitey Aug and Joe Ellis were used as passers today and both seemed intent on tossing the ball as far as possible regardless of whether there were receivers down under their tosses. The throws were carried by a strong northwesterly wind and plenty of them sailed well past the second string backs working on defense. They Are Hurried The passers were hurried on some of their efforts, but even so the drill left the impression the boys had slowed down. They certainly were not being driven by Kipke and his staff as they were last week or the first two days of this week. On pass defense the regulars gave their second string opponents little encouragement, indicating that they have the Yellow Jackets' overhead attack pretty well solved.

Kipke cannot forget however, that his team also appeared to have the passing attack of Michigan State solved, but in actual play the Spartans made Michigan look sick. Further work on punt handling was in order tooay, wun nuso Oliver and Cedrlc Sweet doing the kicking and various backs trying to take the punts. Jims was given an individual passing arm wun Ferris Jennlnsrs as his receiver- Jennings appeared to have his job well ln hand. He also cncKea Desi a a receiver during the team drill. Savage Still limpa Mike Savage took his turn at end again today, but was still limping badly.

Savage handled passes fairly well, but his running was hardly such as would permit Kipke to put him In a game if it were to be Dlaved rieht now. Willard Hlldebrand, who received a gash in his left leg during the Chicago game, was out or unirorm, while Chester Beard and Bud Han- shue were handling his job. Hilde- brand. who has been getting atten. tlon at the health service, said he expected to be ready by Saturday.

Word was received nere tooay that the Tech squad will reach Ypsilanti shortly before 8 o'clock Friday morning. It is anticipated that Coach BUI Alexander will drill his team in the Stadium during the afternoon. FoxxWell Enough for Trip to Japan SEATTLE, Oct. 17 (U. Jlmmie Foxx, Philadelphia Athletic star first baseman and one of the leading batsmen of the American League, "is feeling all right and will make the barnstorming trip to the Orient with other major league stars," Earl Mack, son of Connie Mack, said today.

Foxx arrived from Portland today with other big league players for two exhibition games here. He suffered a concussion several days ago when struck ln the head at Winnipeg by a pitched ball. He was in a hospital for a few days and complained of dizziness. "Foxx may even play in a few games ln the Orient," Mack said. Pitt Captain Knows Gophers Can Block PITTSBURGH.

"Hubbell told' me out In 'Oklahoma City the) other day his arm goes dead after three inning," Diz said. "The Card won't trade Paul for him." Would he mind hitting against PruI, if Paul Were traded?

Spartans Fear Grid Letdown Bachman Selects 30 for N. 7. Trip EAST LANSING, Oct. 17 (A. Fear of a possible letdown crept into the ranks of the Michigan State football squad this afternoon as preparations were completed for the departure tomorrow for Brooklyn, N.

where the Spartans will meet Manhattan College Saturday. Charley Bachman, the head man of State's football forces, expressed worry over the outcome of the game with Chick Meehan's men at Ebbeta Field this week-end. The uncertain physical condition of a group of his key men didn't ease the worry, "There is a possibility that we may have a letdown," Bachman said. "We have Just played two tough games and it wouldn't be altogether unnatural for tha boys to slip a bit in the next one. It ten the game that I would choose for a letdown, but It may come." Bachman named a squad of 30 men who will leave the campus at noon tomorrow bound for the East and their Initial bid ln that section of the country for gridiron glory this year.

They return later in the season to face Syracuse. As an Innovation before such road trips, Bachman ordered a sienal drill on the practice field before the departure tomorrow morning. The order waa Issued in view of the fact the Spartans will be on the rails all afternoon. The squad will arrive In New York City at 9:30 o'clock Friday morning and will Immediately go to Brooklyn, where It will make Its headquarters. A final practice will PUn Turn, to Pige 17 Column I to report at the conclusion of the football season.

Adams again split the squad into three divisions, with the veterans participating in the first two groups to take the ice. The Wings' pilot looks for a lot more strength on the right wing this season, a load that waa carried largely by Larry Aurie last year In addition to Aurie, the Wings have Wally Kilrea. George Patterson, Yank Boyd, Eddie Wiseman and Asmundson fighting for the three right wing berths, although Kilrea may be used in center ire should either Gordon Pettinger or Norman Schultz fail to make the grade Adams also Is better equipped this season on the left flank.

Baltimore Plans to Honor Bambino Memorial Bust May Be Erected There BALTIMORE, Oct 17 (A. Baltimore is preparing to honor Babe Ruth, her baseball playing son, by erecting a bust of him. Paul E. Burke, president of the Maryland Amateur Athletic Association, announced plans for raising funds for the memorial last night. He said he thought it fitting that the city where the home run slugger started his career snouia mam ino end of that career with a lastln.g tribute.

"But they wouldn't" Big Diz is still chuckling over his series conquests, particularly his twin triumphs of the final day wbea he made two hits in the By Charles P. Ward The sting of the Tigers' defeat at the hands of the hairy-armed St. Louis Cardinals in the recent World Series has been alleviated for Mickey Cochrane by Frank J.

Navin, president of the Detroit club. Mr. Navin accomplished the amelioration by presenting Cochrane with a ilO.000 bonus at the close of the series. Somewhat less alleviated was the sting of defeat for Schoolboy Rowe, whose great pitching during the regular season enabled the Tigers to get Into the series. Rowe was presented with a bonus of $2,500 before he departed for El Dorado, to take up housekeeping with his new bride, the former Edna Mary Skinner.

The announcement of the bonus for Cochrane was made by Mickey himself shortly before he departed for New York several days ago, presumably to spend some of the money, it came as somewnat or a surprise to the Tigers, as It was understood that Cochrane received verv substantial contract when he came to the Tigers to take the place of Bucky Harris as manager. Mickey never complained about the salary figure mentioned In his original contract, at any rate. Mickey Does Right Well The presentation of a bonus to Rowe came as no surprise to the Schoolboy, for some time ago he was informed that the bald-headed boss of the Beneals was going to don the Santa Claus whiskers and present Rowe with something that would "a'irprise and please" him. Rowe apparently was pleased with the gift, for althoueh he set off no celebratory firecrackers he departe-1 for El Dorado at peace with the world. The Cochrane bonus puts Mickey right up in the blue chips.

The former Bridgewater farm bov has done right well by himself and by Detroit too since he donned tne uniform of the Tigers. in addition to his salary, he nas received for his very creditable ef- torts mis year, two automobiles, a good slice of World Series money, siu.uuu oonus and a fat wad or currency for his radio and literary efforts. Never again will the little fellow whom the Cardinals sarcastically referred to as the Tigers Stricken Leader ever yearn for life on the farm. Although President Navln's gen erosity la commendable, it may cause him plenty of trouble before the next baseball campaign rolls around. All of the Tigers received a share of World Series money in addition to their salaries.

But some of the boys are apt to begin thinking of those bonuses for Mickey and the Schoolboy when the time Pitt Must Face the Wont MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 17 (U.P.) -Pug Lund, star halfback, worked out with the Minnesota squad, discounting rumors in Pittsburgh that he had broken a leg in scrimmage.
