FERRELL WINS ! NO-HIT GAME New York, April 30 f U.R> \\ ley Ferrell of Cleveland In Id a wide margin over his rivals today In the rare for 10"! major league hurling honors. The l|g 23-year-old right hander turned in his fourth victory of Ute| year—and the . r >nth of his threeyear major league career —yesterday when he shut out the St. Iritis Hrowns, 9 to 0, and celebrated the occasion by making his triumph a no-hit. contest. Ferrell's masterpiece was the Oral hitless major league game since May 3, 1929. when Carl Hubhell pitched the New York (Hants to a 11 to 0 decision over Pittsburgh. and the first no-hit game in the American League since Ted Lvons of the Chicago White Sox shut out Boston, t! to 0, on August 21. 192«. Ferrell himself attached little significance to his feat, and told the Cnited Press that the hitless name "felt just the same as winning any other ball game." ‘‘l’ve never had any ambition to pitch a no-hit game.” he said. "My idea is just to get in there and beat the opposition." Cleveland 1 tiseball fans, however, regarded the game as proof of their contention that Ferrell is the best of modern day pitchers. Ferrell disputed this honor last season with Lefty Grove of the Philadelphia Athletics and Ted Lyons of the Chicago White Sox. and his gTeat start this section! promises to leave no finest ion alxmt the ranking. Ferrell has served only two complete years in the majors, as compared to 8 years for Lyons and 6 years for Grove, and already has 50 victories, including two scored year, and Lyons, who has not started a game this season. has won 126 games.

Like most baseball Idols, For- 1 i rell calls it small town his home. I He comes from Guilford Court ! House, N. C.. where his father opI crates a dairy farm, and tie credits his finger strength gained from j milking cows with making him a successful pitcher. • ■ lUM Rojip, < b vclmiii scout, lolliitl , Ferrell in 1926 when lie was pitching for the Oak Hidge, N.C. prepjj school nine. He offered Ferrell aj , | contract after watching him in ’ ( several games, but the youngsteri refused "because he didn’t think i he was good enough for the Itig, leagues." But he promised Rapp that lie would not sign with any j other scout. He signed a year later aftpr playing semi-pro bull, j ‘ Since that first promise, Ferrell 1 has kept many promises for the Indians. He promised to win' enough games Itis first year to jus- j * tify the scout’s confidence. He was j not given tbe opportunity, Being | farmed out to Terre Haute for the;’ 1928 season, but came back in 1929 to win 21 games, lie said!' that he would increase that total ' in 1920, and his record shows 25 ‘ victories. This year he has promised to * win 30 games—-a feat which no } pitcher lias accomplished i;t rei cent years—and he already lias * won four games five starts. 1 Ferrell is ambitious, modest and confident. He takes pride in his 1 ability to do his best, ami em- * I liodies every trait of a sports idol. ' He neither smokes nor drinks. 1 and leaves the girls alone, as far 1 as it is possible for a handsome ' 23-year-old youth to do so. He ' sings, plays a banjo and attends movies when lie is not retiring big ' ; league sluggers. Yesterday’s game saw Ferrell at his best. He mixed blinding speed | and a dazzling curve with a change of pace and had excellent control. J Only six runners reached first, three on errors, and three on walks, and Rick Ferrell, St. Louis catcher and brother of the young pitcher, was the only man to get j to second. |' Not a single ball was hit hard and only two were knocked out of the infield, the other 25 putouts being made on easy pop-outs and ( s!ow r rollers to the infielders. | Eight batsmen were retired on ; strikes. j Ferrell also the attack, hitting a home run and a double to drive in four runs. PLANS MADE FOR TOURNEY ; —j! An official elevated boxing ring ; 1 has been built at Catholic high |' school gymnasium by the boxing; show committee of Adams Post, j J American Legion, in preparation forj the Decatnr-Bluffton boxing tour-| nament which will be held here j Monday May 11.. ,j Winners of elimination conteslsj, in he two cities will tie etered in |, the intercity scraps, which already , | are creating much' interest and pre-!, tourney talk. About 4)0 ringside seats are a- j t vailable for the contests and about | i that many general admission seats . ] ! also have been arranged.

William Kails, of this city, has ; charge of the training for Decatur ] hampions a n d he reported today . that about 25 local boxers were . working out each night at the gym- , nasium.

FANS DISCUSS NEW BASEBALL N w Ywik, April 3 i. U.R)I Whether the new hall is an aid to pitchers or whether major league bailors have reached npid season form was a matter of conjecture today among baseball fans. Splendid pitching performances, headed by Wesley Ferrell’s no-hit, non-run exhibition, were turned in yesterday in four of the five major league games played. Some fans attributed the hurling feats to the I laised stitches on the new spherei while others pointing to the heavy hitting in previous contests, in- j c’ined to the belief the pitchers were approaching their peak form. The Cleveland Indians pounded two St. Louis twirlers for 13 hits in winning 9 to 0 behind Ferrell’s unusual performance. Only Six | Browns got on base and only one; of them, Rick Ferrell, the Cleveland | pitcher’s brother, got as far as sec- J ond. Ferrell struck out eight men. , He aided his cause by hitting al home run and a double, accounting | for four tallies. Tommy Thomas of the Chicago | White Sox flashed the form that! made him one of the league's lead-1 ing pitchers in 1929 by shutting out j the Detroit Tigers, 3to 0. Thomas | ( allowed seven hits. Earl Whitehill | i gave the White Sox only five safel] bibws but his four bases on balls j ’ were costly. 1 1 The other American league game j ] was a slugfest witli the Washing- j 1 ten Senators besting the New York|< Yankees, 9 to 5. Brown, Although touched for ten hits, went the distance for the Senators. Four hurlers worked for New York and allowed 11 hits, most of which were ( bunched in the third, fourth and 1 fifth innings. Jess Haines held the Pittsburgh! 1 Pirates to four hits as the St. Louis j| Cardinals won. 7 to 1. Kremer andji Osborne yielded 12 blows. ! The Cubs, behind the steady pitching of Ed Baecht, Pacific; coast rookie, defeated Cincinnati, 3 to 1. Bieeht allowed 11 hits but kept them scattered. Chicago' bunched four of the seven hits it got off Lucas in the fifth inning to' score three runs. Rain caused the postponement of: of the Philadelphia-Boston game in j tile American league and the Bos- i tcn-Philadelphia and New York-j Brooklyn contests in the National, j' Yesterday’s hero: Wesley Ferrell, 23-year-old right handed pit-j cher of the Cleveland Indians, who hurled a no-hit, no-run game against the St. Louis Browns. The Indians won, 9 to 0. Purdue Makes Plans For Ohio State Relays Lafayette, Ind., April 30—Preparing for the Ohio Relays this weekend, Coach Earl .Martineau is busily engaged in grooming two relay com binations and several special events ' men who will represent Purdue in the annual games. This year will find the Boilermakers striving to auccessfaly defend the medley relay c ampionship which they have won at Ohio for two successive years. Loss of Orval Martin, who | ran as anchor man on the quarte* | that set a new record for the med-j ley last year, leaves Martineau with a big task in developing a capable miler, bu: either Captain Doyle or Flinn is expected to turn the filial four laps. Doyle and Hal Chasey, another member of the medley quartet, were both members of the titular quartets of 1929 and 1930. Miller and Heller are the other most promising candidates for the medley combination. Martineau also hopes to enter a mile relay team that will be composed of Doyle, Chasey, Miller and Heller, but his final decisio will rest on time trials that will bo Held this week. Three special events men who may break into ;'..e point column will aiso make the trip to Ohio with the relay outfit. The indivdual en- j ! tries include Odom, in the dash, who has been cutting down his time steadily; Gohl, who has been broad jumping consistently between 22 and 23 feet, and Curry, who has been hitting around 180 feet in the javelin. The Ohio Relays mark the final outdoor relay competitio for the Boilermakers. A week from Saturday Purdue will jourT.ey to Bloomington for a triangular meqt with Indiana and Illinois as the final Lineup for the State Big Ten and National Collegiate meets that follow on successive week-ends.
