Against Courtrlght's team Kipke I ad Truskowtoxi and Hewitt at ends, Auer and Hayden at tackles, the veterans Steinke and Poe at guards and Ivan Smith at center, with Morrison, Hudson, Gembls and Simrall doing the ball toting, aided occasionally by Trua-kowskl, who was called back from his end position. The replacement of Draveling with Hewitt was preU ty generally expected, for the gient flankman has done absolutely no.h-Ing to fulfill expectations to datty and looked woefully weak againaf the Purdue onslaught last week. Hewitt, a sophomore, on the other hand, has been coming along rapidly and showed to advantage after he took Draveling's Job In the first period of the Boilermaker game. Auer has won the right tackle post back from Tom Roach at least temporarily.

Roach looked good against M. S. C. but he fell com-pletely against the Black and Gold. His collapse was due largely to his Inclination to charge highmuch too high to be effeclive.

Poorman looked as good as any tackle Michigan showed against Purdue, but the veteran has been excused from practice for a few days because of an Injury, but he should be ready for action before Saturday. Morrison at Fullback. Bovard, of whom much was expected In this, his third and final year as a varsity man, has failed miserably. Smith, a youngster, has not been brilliant by any means, but he is a hard worker, and should make a good center for Kipke before he is through. Morrison went to fullback, and on tinned on I'age 24.

Philadelphia, Oct. 15. (A. The calm that follows the storm today lay over Shlbe Park where the tumultuous crowd of yesterday In turn groaned at or cheered the changing fortunes of the Cubs and Athletics. Connie Mack, the leader of the new world's champions, went to Atlantic City to rest up and some of the players visited the ball park to gather up personal belongings before going home for the winter.

It was made known that each of the players entitled to a full share of The world's series money will receive $5,821.30. The players recently agreed upon those who should be rewarded outside of those entitled to full ehares. Twenty-eight Share Money. It was voted to split the monev into 28 parts.

Eddie Collins, captain of the Athletics, George Eamshaw and Blng Miller are planning a hunting trip with Joe Bush, former Mack pitcher, and Sam Jones, of Washington. They will go to Frederlcton. New Brunswick, Canada.

Blng Miller will make a flying visit to his home in Vinton. Iowa, before taking the hunting trip. Howard Ehmke, hero of the opening game of the series, and Mickey Cochrane, star catcher, are considering several offers to become the battery for independent teams in games around this part of the country before it becomes too cold for baseball. Al Simmons and Jimmy Foxx are going to barnstorm following the banquet for the team Thursday night. Foxx and Simmons are to play In Milwaukee Sunday, and then will work their way westward to the coast.

0 NE of baseball's greatest right hand hitters passed from the American league yesterdav when the Detroit I club sold Harry Heilmann to the 1 Cincinnati Reds after the other teams of the Junior circuit had I agreed to waive on his services. Four times batting champion of the American league, the Heilmann of two years ago would have brought a handsome figure on the open market. If the club owners of the American league have lived up to the spirit of the waiver rule, Heilmann's value as a piece of baseball mechanism has depreciated greatly In two years so greatly that he was not considered a bargain at the waiver price of $7,500. In Spring, The disposal of Heilmann probably is the first move toward rebuilding the Tigers as rumored since before the last campaign Closed and it is evident that others are to follow. Heilmann was prominently mentioned among those slated for a change of scenery, but few dared predict that a fellow, who led league in batting four times and finished the 1929 season with a batting mark of .343, would be permitted to get out of the league.

Heilmann did not have a good season this year. He drew a suspension during the spring training trip for indifferent training and finished the season on the bench, while Roy Johnson patrolled the right sector of the outfield. Yet Heilmann finished the season with a better batting mark than any regular on the team. Price Not Disclosed. In announcing the sale of Heilmann to the Reds, Charles F.

The first step to rebuild the Cin cinnati Reds for the 1930 pennant race was taken today by bidney Well, the club's new president, who announced Dan Howley, recent St. Louis Browns manager, would pilot the team next year and that Harry Heilmann, hard hitting Detroit, outfielder, had been purchased outright from the Tigers.

His team finished fourth In the American league this year while the Reds landed In seventh posi tion.

Weil secured the controlling stock of the Reds less than a month ago and immediately announced he would make the club more of a factor in next year's flag chase. He said he would trade all but three of the present roster, if necessary, to Improve the team. The three were Captain Hugh Critz, second baseman. Lucas, pitcher and Evar Swanson, fleet rookie outfielder. Acquisition of Heilmann.

Heilmann, a graduate of St. Mary's college, has seen 15 yearB of service with the Tigers. He Joined the tengals In 1914, coming from the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league. He was returned to San Francisco and rejoined the Tigers the next year and has been playing regularly with the club ever since with the exception of 1918 when he was Berving in the navy. Only Nap Lajole, among right-hand hitters of the American league, has equalled Heilmann's feat of winning the batting championship four times and Ijkjoie's winning figures do not compare with those of the discarded Tiger outfielder.

Heilmann's first slug-Kine title was won in 1921 when he dethroned Oeorge Slsler as the leading hitter of the league with a mark of .394. In 1923 he won the title again with .403. His third championship came two years later when his average was .393 and he topped the sluirgers of the Junior loop for the fourth time In 1927 with a mark of .398.

and Sisler in ana 1922. Heilmann's mark of .343 last season gave him eighth place among the regulars of the league. Heilmann was born in San Francisco 35 years ago and makes his permanent home in Detroit, where he has extensive business Interests and probably will continue to make his home here. As a major leaguer, he always wore a Detroit uniform and served under four managers the late Hughie Jennings, Ty Cobb, George Moriarty and Stanley Harris.
