Nov. 23 Next year Red Dutton. the World War veteran and manager of the New York Americans, intends to look up the ghost of Lord Stanley and I perhaps in the cup that he gave i to hoi key back in the days cf Grover Cleveland. With a team that practW wss born before the days of William Howard Tft, Dutton and Americans handed the proud winners of the Stanley Cup, the Detroit Red Wings, their fifth defeat tn seven games snd their third in a row. The score was 3 to 1 Outstanding In the defeat, before 12.000 fans, was Chmg Johnson, former Ranger star and playing his first game as an American, and Nets Stewart.

Johnson on four occasions prevented goals on shots that you would have bet would have been goals. Johnson, also a World War vet-eran, was rescued Just a few hours before from major league obscurity after the Rangers, his old team, had refused to agree to hit terms. Stewart Starts It Off Stewart, the man who scored the first and important goal, was not in the World War. according to the Madison Square Gardens program. He probably was slacker.

The Wings' only goal was scored by Marty Barry, a young fellow who probably gained his valuable hockey experience breaking through the Hindenburg line. He denies this on the ground that he doesn't need a pension. To say that Jack Adams was fit to be tied make one a con-servstive. Mr. Adams was not only ready to be hanged but look ing around for that Canadian named Ellis, top scorer on tha Dominion capita 1-punishment line.

fiespite sll this, the Red WlngS tried to win here tonight. They did everything but win. They staged a last ten-minute assault that had their former goalie. Earl Robertson, slightly confused. But they didn't score.

Robertson Hero Again Robertson was the goalie who saved them their second Stanley Cup in a row last season to become the year's outstanding hero of hockey when the Wing goalie, Normie Smith, was injured.

The multiple passing In the barkfield, the fakes, splits, pivots and spins the blocking requirements and the altogether new assignment of backing up a line on defense had the big Jackson boy In a whirl. So early In the season Janke spent most of the time on the bench. He had too much football talent to sit there long. He wss sent back to the line and within a short space of time had fought his way back into the starting line-up, gaining the call oevr Don Siegel. big tackle who gained a great reputation for his play in the Northwestern game.

The captain-elect sustained a leg Injury in practice before the finale (with Ohio State. But he got the I starting call a tribute from his coaches. Has leadership Qualities Unquestionably, Janke's mates chose him for their leader i not only for his ability as a player out in recognition of the manner in which he battled his way from the bench to the starting iine-up. Janke is 20 years old, and weighs 205 pounds. He succeeds Capt.

Joe Rinaldi, of Elkhart. Ind. He was selected on the Free Press all-State team In 19.14 when playing for Jackson High. No need has been greater at Michigan In recent years than that of a leader. In the past Michigan has attained football heighta under great captains.

Janke's selection is a credit to the Michigan squad. Philip Woodworth, of Bad Axe, was elected manager of the team for next season. Montanez Wins in Third NEW YORK. Nov. 23 (A.P.) Pedro Montanez, lightweight con- venaer irom r-uerio ruco, won on a iri.iiitii.i Kiun niibiL ir-i due Peninno.

Only Connie Mack, venerable manager of the Athletics, who Is convalescing from prolonged Illness, will be absent from the Milwaukee sessions. He has announced his intention of attending the major league convention. Tuning Out the Rabbit One of the most Important matters which will come up the joint meeting of the two msjor leagues Deo. is the adoption of the baseball which will used during the 19.18 season.

Last year the two major leagues voted to have manufacturers submit samples of a new baseball, but these samples proved unsatisfactory. Attempts were made to make the ball less lively by tampering with the cover and stitches In tryouts. These experimental balls became lop-sided when clouted solidly. President Will Harrldge, of the American League, confirmed the fact today that the baseball fur will be less lively than the one used In 19.17. "We positively Intend to take a little rabbit out of the ball," said Harrldge.

"Hut Instead of altering the cover or the stitches, we shall achieve our purpose by having a smaller cork center." Keek Limit on Collegians Another matter of Importance coming up is the renewal of the major-minor league pact which expires in February.

Nov. 2.1- Deer hunters marked the halfway point in their 19.17 season today to look back ona week of the most favorable hunting weather they have had for many years In the Ixiwer Peninsula.

Starting out with wet snow and rain, the temperature quickly dropped to assure a staying blanket of snow Ideal for tracking and excellent for vision. There has been no sleet to spoil the quiet of the snow and the temperature has not been too severe for the man who likes to get tip before daylight to stand on the runways. The same weather which fa- vored hunters of the wily buck ll Iso favored those who hunt bears The big black fellows had no need to retreat to their dens and, as a result, perhaps more than the usual number of black bears have been killed bv deer hunters. In this vicinity, at least, a dozen bears have been taken, but there are no records of really large ones. Conservation officers who have spent the last couple of days in the woods sre inclined to discount estimates of the increase in the hunting army this year.

Camps are much more scattered in most areas than a year ago. In the northern half of Newaygo and the southern half of Lake counties. tithe concentration of hunters has thinned out considerably. Perhaps the two fatal shootings in that area is a factor. There has been ft considerable exodus of hunters during the last couple of days.

On the main high ways one may see a continuous stream of automobiles carrying bucks on their running boards. This morning on the main corner in Grayling I could seldom look up and down without seeing a successful hunte. carrying his trophy home with him. While the hunting army is at a low point today, new recruits avnActixl in come in tomorrow for the holiday and week-end hunt. i These men should be warned that conservation offi-ers are making an intensive checkup on loaded guns in cars this year.

The drive is yielding many a violator. If a loaded gun is rouno in an automobile, the law demands that it must be confiscated. This ends one's hunting for the season. The minimum fine for such violation is $in and costs, J6.S5, but if there is evidence that one actually was hunting from an auto-nobile, the Justice may kick the fine up aa high as I00.

There was little dispute ss to the best set of ends in the league, Itob Mitchell snd Dave Dil worth, the Catholic Central flankers, rated well shove sll other candidates. Strong both offensively and defensively, these boys played an important part In the winning of the City snd State Catholic titles for Catholic Central. Mitchell was rsted the best blocking lineman In the league.

Vurhh Was Versatile Tony Mirhuta, the 200-pound youth from Catholic Central, snd Felix Malisrewski. of De Ijt Salle, were the tackle selections. Mlchuta, on the All-Catholic team for a second straight year, played steady If not brilliant football all season. He wss an Important cog the Catholic Central defensive machine which did not have a touchdown scored sgainst tt tn a regular league game. Maliszewskt rated one of the finest a i round linemen In the league.

He easily was the outstanding defensive player on a good De La Salle team. At the guard positions, Tony Vurich. of St. Mary's of Redford. snd Paul Coury.

of Holy Redeemer, were placed on the first team only after a close voting battle with Charley Kester, of Catholic Central, and Bill Lassen, of St. Catherine's. Vurich probably wss the most versatile lineman In the league. He was a fine place kicker and a great blocker. Coury did an excellent Job backing up the Redeemer line.

Banonis Is Center Again Vlnce Banonis was a unanimous choice for center. It marks the second straight year he has been on the first team. He set a record by Intercepting at least one pass in every game and ran for touchdowns with several of these interceptions. He did not make a poor pass all season. Ray Grajew-skI, fastest back In the league, wss named at quarterback.

This St. Josephs player looked good even on a mediocre team. He was a good passer and an excellent field judge. Groth and Hank Piatek, the other Catholic Central halfback, were unanimous choices for the halfback posts. These boys could do everything.

They could block, pass, kick and tackle. And thfy were the leading scorers in the league for two years. Groth averaged three touchdowns a game for two seasons. Leonard Najmowlcz. Holy Redeemer's fine plunging fullback, was named on the first team only after some fine competition from Johnny Secumski, the Catholic Central player who was rated the best blocking back in the league.

Najmowlcz. scaling 180 pounds, did most of the ground gaining for a Redeemer team which won the West Side title. The Free Press wishes to thank all of the coaches for their fine co-operation in selecting the 1937 All-Catholic squad. High Time, Sire at Dixiana, Dies LEXINGTON. Ky Nov.

Eighteen of the players have contributed to the 24ft points run up by the Titans In nine games this year. That is a lot of points, Just two less than the number scored by the Dartmouth team, which leads the Country.

A squad which has that many scorers in its ranks must have a very versatile team. Detroit has such a team, with Andy Farkas. newlv named All- Western halfback, to lead its run- rung attack and fine forward passing attack paced by Eddie Pa-lumbo, Roger Hayes and Tim Slo-visky. Dnrais Is Apprehensive Yet with this high-powered attack and all these potential scorers in his charge, Coach Charles K. Dorais wasn't bubbling over with anticipation of an easy victory over Duquesne Tuesday night as he put his team aboard the train for Pittsburgh, where the Titans will take their final workout Wednesday.
