Our problem has been the infield but I think we corrected a weakness by adding Erin Ward and Roger Peckinpaugh to the club. I always have liked Ward's game and everyone know swhat kind of a player Peck is. I don't feet that he has finished. I. will be difficult of course to replace Eddie Collins but Hunnefield is a sure comer and Peck will be of as much help to him as Collins was. If we get our share of the breaks we may be in there yet but we’ll be fighting regardless of what luck is in store for us. o Two Schools Win Radio Sets In Music Contests Indianapolis, Ind., April 4. —(United Press) — Two Hendricks county schools today were proud owners of the Radio sets given as prizes to the winners of the Indianapolis Star-Ind-iana federation of music club's radio music memory contest.

'World’s Billiard Title At Stake This Evening J Chicago, April 4 —(United Press) I The world's three cushion billiard I championship will be nt stake when Augie Kieckhefer, and Oito Ib-lsoli Mia'. the first 60 point block of a 300 (point match here this evening. Kieckhefer, present champion, won ' his title from Reiselt here about two months ago in the finals of the world Three Cushion tournament. In the Interim both players have made impr.s- --’ ing iecords against numerous other ■ opponents. o PIRATES STRONG Pittsburgh Club Looks Like Real Contender New York. April 4—(United Press) Without doubt, the Pittsburgh Pirates were the b'ggest disappointment in the 1926 season and furnished the ' greatest upset of form in a year that had many surprises. Several factors caused the collapse of a club that had won a world's championship and had youth amt power behind it. Injuries no doubt were responsible for the loss of many games but it really was internal dissention that broke up the club, caused the owners to replace Bill McKechnie as manager by Donie Bush and to release several high class players. The team last year had strength tb do more than it did and Bush found a. club that needed little treatment with the exception of a good bucking up and some strong bossing. The infield is strong, the outfield is powerful on offense and defense and the batteries, while pot the best n the league are first class. Pie Traynor and Glenn Wright are perhaps the best left-corner infield combination in the game. Traynor is at the top of his game and he still has youth. Wright s just getting into his prime. Ryne at second base ought to be better after one year of hard experience but he may have to hustle to keep Joe Cronin, a youngster, from taking his job. Grantham at first base isn’t a world beater but he's a hard hitter and a steady, capable fielder. The outfield is graced by two of ■■■■' ' : .-»■ ih ; * bu&iaass - 1. ■ - - ■ when the veteran captain was relieved. The chib has a wide selection of pitchers in Aldridge, Bush. Cvengros, Kremer, Meadows, Yde, Songer and Morrison, The club will have to hustle for Bush and there will be no cliques of bench managers such as handicapped McKechnie. It is a good looking chib and is certain to be a contender. o All-Star Team Picked At National Net Tourney Chicago. April 4—The pick of the regional basketball champions who competed for the national high school title here last week as selected today by sports writers at the University of - Chicago tournament, includes four beys from southern teams and one from the squad which won the national championship, Morton high, of Cicero, 111.

Va„ April 4.—(United Press)—Recently Gene Sarazen published an article in which he said he always had success Jin defeating Walter Hagen, professional golf champion, Sunday Sarazen proved he had basis for his statement by trimming Hagen 21 in a 36 hole match of dazzling golf. It was a ’‘grudge’’ match arranged following the southern open . tournament. Sarazen won by superiority with ; his tee shots, outdriving his rival I twenty-two times. Gene, by par golf. ; gained a lead of 5 up on the first j 'ght holes When many of Hagen's > forced second shots were trapped.

Week-end Auto Wrecks Take Two Lives At Capital Indianapolis, April 4. — (United Press) —Two persons were dead and two others were in a serious condi- . tion with injuries today as a result of week-end auto accidents in the vi- . cinity of Indianapolis.

Willie Wilson, negro. 33, of Indianapolis, may die as the result of being struck by another hit and run driver.

It is ' available to every farmer. Some farmers produced only one ' hundred bushels of potatoes to the acre last season, some as few as fifty bushels. There is no urge at this time for increased food production, but a greathr production from fewer acres means less investment in land, less plowing ' and planting and cultivating. Flood, draught and unreasonable ‘ frosts cannot be prevented. They bi ing bad luck to the best farmers, but selection of the best land for certain ‘ crops, certified seed, good fertilizer and plenty of it and scientific methods ! will spell success in farming in the long run —Toledo Blade. o 1 Lawrence Beal called on Fort Wayne friends Saturday evening.
