YOUNGSTERS ARE SHOWING UP WELL By Frank Getty, UP Sports Editor New York. April 13. —With the permission ot the elements, the major league pennant races will be resumed in their entirety today. Citizens ot certain cities are rathe? anxious about this resumption. They have yet to see their home team win a ball game. Not a single American league cluh has won a home game this season, all victories to date having gone tj> the visitors. The spectacle of the St. Louis Browns and the Cleveland Indians leading the American league procession is unexpected, but youngsters have performed surprisingly well in the initial tests. St. Louis fans, in fact, have occasion to he well pleased. The Browns were expected to hit bottom with a thud, and stay there. Instead. Dan Howley’s youngsters made an excel lent start showing disregard for the prowess of the best Detroit Tigers’ pitchers. Players obtained from the Tigers in last winter’s trades. Lou Blue and Heinie Manuals, have led the attack upon Detroit, to manager Moriarlty’s discomfiture. Frank O’Rourke, traded by the Tigers last year, also has played a prominent part in the twisting of the jungleers tails. The fact the Cardinals have gottten away to such a conspicious start is even more encouraging to St. Louis fans while the Browns are a second division certainty, the Cardinals have a great chance to win the national league flag. The principal question disturbing St. Louis looters was the condition cf the club's cripples and the strength of the aging pitching staff The cripples have been performing splendidly, and old Grover Cleveland Alexander turned in one of his greatest games yesterday against the Pirates. To “Old Pete" went the honor of hurling the season's first shutout, and I this against a fighting l»all club with an attack rated as powerful .as any in the league. They used to cnniplaih that “Old Pete’’ had a taste for stimulants, but he must have been taking a little elixir from the fountain of youth as a < haser. The veteran, who confesses to 41 years and probably has seen a few more, still has the speedy j curves, and control of his palmy days 1 Since Alex started pitching exhibi- • tion games this spring he has worked j 19 innings, including nine yesterday, j without allowing a runner to cross | the plate. Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs are I beginning to wonder if they traded away their pennant chances with , ’ Sparky’’ Adams, for infield weak- . ness has been directly responsible for their loss of the first two games to the Cincinnati Reds. o —* *4:¥¥¥¥¥¥ ¥ * ¥ ¥ ¥ * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * —(U.PJ— Paul Waner.

The course is in exceptionally good condition and the greens are almost per feet, according to those who have inspected the course.

A crew of several men is working on the low part of the course and the land which was under water most of the winter is being whipped into shape so that it can be used Sunday. 1 o • Watching The Scoreboard Yesterday’s hero: Grover Cleveland Alexander, starting his eighteenth major league season at the age of 41. and still unbeatable when feeling tight. To the delight cf St. Louis fins, "(fid Pete" pitched the season's first Ishut-ouE while the Cardinals were hammering Burleigh Girmes of the Pittsburgh Pirates for a 5 to 0 victory.

Frankie Frisch of the Cardinals has I hit a home in each. game this club I has played.

Al Thomas and Joe Shaute indulged in the season’s only close pitching duel at Chicago, but Langford tripled to score Jamieson in the Sixth and won for the Indians, 2 to 1. Errors by the Cubs again paved the way for the Cincinnati victory, the Reds coming from behind to win their second straight, 9 to 3.

SPEED DIANS ARE GATHERING Indianap lis, Ind. Apfil 13 — The i speed clans are gathering for the In i tetnational 500-mile race to be held i here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. Yesteiday Jules Fllingboe. one of thiee casualties of last year's thrilling and spectacular contest arrived at the : track from his winter home in MemI phis. Tenn., where he has been recu- : perating from the severe shaking up he I sustained last May when, during the ! heat of the lace, h's car went out cf •control and he smacked the inside reI tafning wall. His chest was dented in by the steerj ing wheel and a lung was pierced by a jagged bit of cracked rib. He was in the hospital for two weeks following race day. “But I'll be back in this year's contest the same as usual", declared Ellingboe. a great local favoiite who set his ambition at victory in a 500-mile race here many years ago when he was barnstorming the dirt tracks of this county as a hipprodroming speedster. Ellingboe will lemain here only a few days and wil then scoot for the north woods where he wil fish, tramp and chop di wn tiees in the great open spaces where his boyhood was spent in an attempt to get in perfect condition for the coming speed contest. Ellingboe's home is in Crookston, Minn. Waldo Stein, the lacing tire expert who piovides and mounts the rubber on which the majority of the speed stars ride, also ai rived in town today, looking over the Field and making advance preparations’for his participa- ; tion in the big lace. Waldo of the heavy, sonorous voice, opines that the race this year will be j, a record breaker. o , I, Kendallville Nine Loses To Ashley Team. 8 To 2 The Kendallville high school Red Devils were defeated by the Ash’ey h gh school nine in a basebail game ■ playpd at Kendallville.
