This park is of major Jeagus proporUona. It has a grand stand that can comfortably seat 10,000 persons, with small sized bleachers off to one side. Around this could be erected temporary seats to accommodate 15,000 or 20,000
more persons.

San Francisco opened on the home grounds with Oakland. Saif Lake City played at Los Angeles and Vernon at Sacramento. The Portland club withdrew from the league some months ago, and its place has been taken by Sacramento.

While it might be all
i right to start games in one town at j3 o’clock, it might work a real hardI ship on the fans of another city to start play at that hour under the new

I President Johnson at first was strongly in favor of beginning the contests at 4 o'clock, new time. Ills idea was that this would give the fans an extra hour to devote to business before going to the park. In this he held the same views as several of his club owners, , but as others seemed in favor of regaining the old 3 o'clock opening. Mr. (Johnson decided to leave it to each

CAPTAIN T. L. HOUSTON.
NEW TORK, April ?.-When Jole Ray lied the world’s record' for 1,000 yards indoors ’at the A. A. U. meet here recently, he had a perfect right to stand on hie hind legs and howl for a revision of the time credited to lifm, for two official watches and three of the nonofflclal variety caught his pace at faster time than the mark hung up by Johnny Overton a year previously. But the cocky little distance star had
nothing to say.
“Never mind,” he announced after the meet. “Just wait. I'll break 'em yet.' ” And right there,Ray showed his hearer* one of the reasons why he is the greatest distance runner since the best days of Mel Sheppard. He beams dontldent in himself. Every word he utters about his running bubbles with selfpride. Yet there isn’t a bit of conceit in the majteup of the brilliant-haired racer from the west. He simply believes he is the best without any fuss or show—and Jre has the dope right.
This is the first photograph received in America of Captain T. L. Houston, who Is associated with Colonel Jacob Ruppert in the ownership of the New York Yankee ball team, since he went to France. He is now serving as a captain of engineers with the American forces. An ardent follower of baseball, but a still more ardent patriot, he recently w rote-a letter from “somewhere in France,” in which he expressed approval of the continuance of the sport in wartime, but said there was altogether too much talk of money and too many big traces.
Ths surprise occasioned by Ray’s easy defeat of Eddie Fall in the A. A. U.
meet came from persons who had overlooked previous performances of Ray whsn pressed by a rival. His best runalng always has cropped out when pressed his hardest. There isn’t a shadow of-doubt in the minds of those who saw the running tilt between these two stars that Ray would have passed the tape In record time by all w’atehes had Fail or Mike Devaney been able to chal-
lenge him with any real speed
The fact was, how'ever, that Ray simply breeted ahead when the notion struck him. He came into the last furlong of hi* stunt going like a sprinter and he snapped the taps a full twentyfiv* yards in advance of Devaney. . Up to the final quarter he had lagged in ihlrd place. As he crossed the finish line he turned his head and looked back *t his pursuers, and then walked nonchalantly from the track. His heart w’as beating no stronger than when he had started. Winning the event in such re-
markable time had not winded him.
Itay's trainer credits his great performances tb his fine heart development. Hs has never yet been pushed to the
point of exhapfetlon in his races.
STATE Y. M. C. A. QUINTETS TO COMPETE AT MUNCIE
MUNCIE, Ind., April 2.—Indiana's fastest Y. M. C. A. teams will be represented in the state Young Men’s Christian Association basketball tournament to be held in t.l?e gymnasium of the local Y. M. C. A., next Thursday. In most cases the cities sending teams here will have composite organizations made up of the best players of various teams in these towns. Indianapolis, it is said, will have two Em-Roe 'players in its quintet. The Vincennes team which claims the championships of southern Indiana and of Kentucky. Is looked upon as a strong contender for the Indiana championship, whilfe Huntington is considered the next atrbngest. Huntington recently held the fast Em-Roes to a score of 30 to 26. .Richmond, whose team baa won honors against Cincinnati and Da'ton lives and against other Ohio teams, also is looked upon as likely to prove formidable. Lafayette will use some Junlue players In her lineup,, while Grcansburg and Marion will send especiaHy selected teams whose members are taken from the city leagues. The Muncle tteam, which recently has won several victories, , w01 be made up of a combination of Muncle and

Reilly Quits Team.
Alex Reilly jumped the club yesterday and left Hattiesburg for Indianapolis. It Is a rule that the players shall be together for breakfast at 8:30 o’clock, and Reilly did not appear until after 9. Bronkie took him to task for it, and the two had some words. It was after the interview with Bronkie that Reilly left, and It is supposed that he went away because of Bronkie’s reprimand. Bronkie
has been forced to reprimand Reilly j
several times since coming here. Dana Fillingim has been placed in (’lass Al of the draft, and may be ordered to take his exaaninatlon down : ere If so, there Is every probability that he will join an Indiana regiment at Camp Shelby. His preference would be in this case the 139th field artillery. Fillingim served six years in the Georgia national guard, and knows the game.

Still Waiting for Larry.
I 88 MM#r€
It is thought the action of the national commission in declaring all International League players free agents except those drafted or sold before the league disbanded, will have more or Jess effect on the case of Larry Lajoie, who is seeking his release to take the management of the Indians. J. C. McGill, owner of the Indians, said today he would wait until the last minute for Lajoie, whoso case has been appealed to the commission. "There is a strong sentiment all over the country In favor of giving Lajoie a square deal,” said McGill. “The alleged sale of Larry to Brooklyn is a direct violation of organized baseball j-ules, which provide that a player who has served fifteen years in the major leagues can aot be $old or traded without his consent. I am still confident that Larry will be here soon to take charge of the team.” McGill said he had several .deals pending, with big league clubs, and hA expects to patch up the depleted ranks of the tribe before the team comes home. There are only a few desirable plavers of Class AA caliber on the marnational, he said, and the big leagues hold out the only good chances. The tn&ior clubs will start cutting down their spring training squads about May 10, after which there should be several players of Class AA caliber on the market. . . War enlistments threaten to play havoc with the Indians. Pitcher Filllngim. Vo vies and Nabors and shortstop Claude Derrick are expecting to be called anv day. McGill is sure he will lose Derrick early In the summer, and ulreadv he is casting around for an-
other short field man. McGill is awaiting a written repoft from Herman Bronkie about Duke Reilly, who left the club at Hattiesburg yesterday.
Means Cold Dinners.
It is apparent that the proposal to stert American Association games this season at 4 p. m. -met defeat, because the magnates voting against the plan favor even a later starting hour. The position of Jimmy McGill, boss of the Indians, who has said that the games at Washington park w’ill start at 4 o’clock, or even later, may be taken to be that of the other magnates voting against the proposition. Thus it is apparent also that the plowman and those in many other walks of life will have wended home their weary -way and taken their places in the garden long before their home town ball team has disposed of its business of plaving a
regulation nine-inning game.
The average game at Washington park last season required nearly two hours, and while the play may be speeded up some this year because of
the double umpire system, it will not be quickened sufficiently to justify the late start. Figuring that the average American family will partake of its evening meal at 6 p. m., legal time, this season, games starting at 4 p. m. or later, will allow the average fan to arrive home in time to see his neighbor take his place In the garden or start upon an evening's enjoyment at the theater. So unless the authorities step in and decide that baseball shall follow thef- flag it appears that complaints of cold dinners, numerous enough in other years will be increased rather than decreased this season, at least so far as Indiana-
polis is concerned.

Three Regulars Remain.
For two reasons the first week of the Indians stay down here has constituted, perhaps, the most unique training trip McGill’s club ever took. In the first place the real ball club isn’t here for with only Btonkie, Gossett and Zwilling now in the lineup the team presents the*worst appearance it has ever made. It has been the custom in times past for the entire array of talent to encamp in a sleepy little southern hamlet and play before six or eight white persons and a score of smokes. This year a team trekked south leaving the backbones of the club as holdouts up north, but they are playing to packed grand stands every day, something that is remarkable in the southland. Sunday’s game with Mobile saw in the neighborhood of. 3.000 frantic bugs, clad in service, howling, wildly over every play, and each and every man Jack among them knetv the players by name and firsts name at that.

Tribe Beats Soldiers. The game yesterday between the Indians and jhe team for the 151st infantry was another ten-inning affair, the Indians winning by a score of 8 to 7. The roldier team put up a fine quality of ball, and at one time it looked as if it had th<? game cinched. The team of the 1,'lst infantry' was made up of Babe Lambke, Company G, left field; Skeet Glover, supply company, shortstop; Shep Shepperd, Company G, right field; Onroy Covengros, Company F, first base; Baldie Lessing.

The big feature of the game was tw'o home runs made by Onroy Covengros, who also made a two-base hit. His first round trip of the bases was made in the third, and a second time he galloped over the field in the seventii inning Blondy Mathey, on the mound for the 151st, poked out seven of the Indians, including Acting Manager Bronkie. Gossett, coaching for the Indians, received an unusual amount of good-natured kidding from the O. D.’s on the bleachers.
