DETROIT, Oct. 17 (T. George Mortarty, manager of the Detroit baseball club of the American league, resigned tonight at the expiration of his contract with the team. The resignation was contained In a letter to Frank Navin. president of the club, sent by Moriarty from his home in Woodstock. 111. Beyond stating that the resignation had been accepted. Mr. Navin refused to comment He declined to state tf he had signed a new manager or had one under consideration. In the two seasons that he piloted the club the Tigers finished in fourth and sixth places respectively. While the caliber of the team's playing roster was blamed in some circles for the poor showing, the view was said to have been held by the owners that Moriarty was in a measure responsible, and It was decided to replace him. Stanley Harris, former manager of the Washington Americans visited Detroit last week, ostensibly for a conference with Navin. and following" tns visit it was rumored that he would pilot the club next year. Navin Queried tonight. President said he had no statement to make on the subject, at this tun-- .

The game will dedicate the Di Kezar stadium. Idaho was able to garner its first victory of the season from Whitman last Saturday by two touchdowns. but Charles Erb, head mentor of the Vandals, used a number of new men in this contest, as in the other two nonconference tilts, and has a better idea of the ability of the Idaho squad. Owens, sophomore halfback, who was rated well on the frosh squad last season, got In the second quar-- I ter against Whitman and In a few minutes made himself known to the Idaho fans. He was able to get through the Whitman line timeOXafter Time ior gooa gams iii spite nli light weight It looks as if he had won a permanent place In the Vandal 5ckfield to alternate with the heavier backs. Kirkpatrick. veteran center, was kept out of ths contest last week, with Carlson, sophomore, taking his place. Kirkpatrick had some slight injuries and Coach Erb wants him in the best of condition for the Stanford contest Carlson played a good game for his first varsity appearance. Practically every Idaho player will be in condition to enter the coming contest and San Francisco fans can expect to see one of the heaviest teams in the country in action. The Vandals are not only heavy, but fast and Stanford is expected to feel the effects of this power. Last week the Vandals were able to make some good gains via the passing route, but at times were weak in breaking up passing attacks of the Whitman eleven. They will be drilled in both of these divisions during the little time 16ft before the game. The Idaho offense showed much improvement over that displayed in the Gonzaga contest a week ago, but more improvement in both offense and defense will be needed to down the Stanford eleven, from reports received here. To date the Vandals have shown little except straight football, having kept everything possible under cover.

Dartmouth and Army yielded to the heat, cutting down their workouts, but their opponents of Saturday were hard at it. Columbia, although it has not beaten Dartmouth for twenty-eigyears, is developing a strong attack. Crimson Varsity Slow In Analyzing Army Plays. Harvard's attempt to analyze Army formations wasn't good enough for Coach Arnold Horween, who had to step in and explain the plays the ineligible team was using before the varsity could stop them.

These are the Carnoustie swing, the St. Andrews swing and what might be jailed the Ameri can swing, which is such a mixture of the C a r n o u s tie and the St. Andrews plus a little originality from this side of the Atlantic that it becomes a swing all its own.

The Carnoustie swine is a swing absolutely devoid of effort.
