DECATUR WINS OPENER; LOSES NIGHT-CAPPER Big Crowd Watches Snedeker’s Team Beat Kimmel Independents Snedeker’s Decatur baseball team defeated Kimmel, Ohio, Independents, 6-4, and then lost to Willshire, O„ 8-2, in a double-header played here Sunday afternoon. The locals played great baseball to win the opener but tired considerably in the second contest. The Decatur nine made nine hits off Tracy in the Kimmel guns and converted the hits into six runs. No errors were chalked up against the locals in the opener and there were seven stolen bases, six by Vantan Snedeker. The Kimmel batters got eight hits off Schneider and made four runs. They were credited with three stolen bases, but committed four errors. The fifth inning was Decatur's big time in the first game, and live runners came across home plate with counters. In the nightcapper Decatur made five errors, and all of them were costly. Willshire took an early lead and the locals failed to give Hez

IN more than one respect, Chicago is the toughest city in the major leagues for managers. This is no reflection on the owners of the big baseball organizations, and certainly no reflection on the fans. Big league owners, when they spend money for players, are entitled to have the talent which they buy directed as expertly as possible. And when fans troop to a park in droves, they expect something for their patronage. They demand, in fact, that the money which they pour into the coffers of the home club be used in part to produce a winner. To real baseball fans, the standing of the home club on any given day is a matter of grave importance. And a pennant flying at the home mast, being a thing of beauty to fandom, is a joy forever. The late owners of both Chicago clubs died following the close of the 1931 season. Charles Comiskey “The Old Roman,” passed the reins of the White Sox on to his son, Louis Comiskey, and W iliam Wrigley. Jr., ceded his Cuba to his son P. K. -■he White Sox are managed, this year, by Lou Fonseca, who

Next Sunday the local team will go to Auburn, for a game with the Auto City Independents, regarded gs one of the fastest baseball clubs in northeastern Indiana. Every week the Snedeker nine looks better and indications are that by mill season the local team will boast one of the best aggrega- ! thins in the independent field. . .— oTHE BIG FIVE By United Press BalJe Ruth went hitle'ss in two times at bat.

once led his league in batting. The Cubs are again managed by Rogers Hornsby, who was, in his prime, the greatest hitter in the history of the National League. Fonseca came to the White Sox last Fall after a long line of managers had been hired and fired by 'he eider Cemiskey. Many said that Lou was foolish to step up to the White Sox helm. He was simply falling heir to an outfit of baseball misfits. He seemed to be mooring himself to a perennial tailender. f Hornsby, .of course, had supplanted the able Joe McCarthy, now leader of the Yankees, in the Fall of 1930. It was generally conceded that he must show a consistent winner for 1932, or go the way of all unsuccessful managers. What has happened? Hornsby decided to sink or swim with an infield of Grimm, Herman, English and Haek, an outfield of Cuyler, Stephenson and Taylor, with Riclibourg and Barton in reserve; a pitching staff made up chiefly of Root. B "-h, Smith, Malone, Grimes and Warnecke, with Hartnett as catcher. At the start of the season Grimes wasn’t ready to pitch, Cuyler broke a toe. Hack got hurt,

BIG 10 TRACK MEET PLANNED Chicago, May 14. (U.R) Some of America's outstanding candidates tor the Olympic team will be In netlo’h in (lie thirty second annual Big Ten trick and field at Dyche stadium Friday and Saturday. Out of the 300 athletes who will participate at least a dozen will make serious bids tor Olympic berths. The brightes contenders seems to be: Henry Brocksmith, Indiana, mile ia nd 2-mile. Jack Keller. Ohio State, hurdles. Dm Bennett. Ouio State, sprints. George Sailing. lowa, hurdles. Edwin Russell. Michigan, quart- ' er mile. Flank Purma, Illinois, discus. John Brooks, Chicago, broad jump. Clarence Mi.i.u. Minnesota, shot- : put. Barring accidents and reversals or form, those eight Big Ten athletes virtually are certain to make the Olympic team. Brocksmith, Indiana's bespectacled distance runner. already is conceded a berth on tl.e Olympic team. He broke the Big Ten indoor mile and 2-mile records, running them in 4:12.5 ami 9:18.4. respectively. In the Drake relays lie shattered the 30y< ar old national intercollegiate 2mile record with the time ot 9:17.8. Kellar. Ohio States lanky hurdler. and Saline. lowa, are among the country’s tour leading hurdlers. Kellar, who is married, won the 120highs in 11.5 and the 220-ows in 22.9 ip the Michigan-Ohio dual meet last week. The world's record for

English was laid on the shelf for weeks-—but the smooth-running Hornsby team continues to win. They piled up enough wins to keep them in the first division for some time, at least. The White Sox grabbed the spotlight by inaugurating an unprecedented trading bee. They made big swaps with Washington, with Cleveland, with Boston anil with St. Louis. They got Carey Selph from Houston in the draft. The sharps have it that they are likely any day now to do business with the Athletics. Apparently there will be no end to it, and Lou Fonseca has admitted as much. “I'm going to juggle ’em just as much as I need to give Chicago an American League winner. The boys are calling me a David Harum, but it's okay by me if the material 1 get will go out and do their best. We won’t talk pennants right now, but there'll be hustling and new faces. It’s a good thing all around.” Meanwhile, Chicago fans have more hope than at any time since the Cubs climbed the heights in 1929. Copyrl*iit, 1933 Kin* Feacurw Syudie*U, Im.

! the 220-lows is 23 seconds but the ! Big Ten record Is 22.8, 22.8 made ;by Rockaway, Ohio State, with I starting blocks which prevented him from getting International sanction. Sating tied the world's record of 14.4 In the 120-hlghs in , winning that event in the Drake re 1 lays. Bennett. Ohio State's red-headed ' flesh, seems to be the fastest of three Big Ten sophomore sprinters. He ran the 100 yards In 9.6 and the 220 yards in 20.7 last week. ' v ch only one-tenth of a second off in 9 9 and earlier in the spring stepped the lo meters in 10.4 which ’ Is one fifth of a second faster than Percy Williams ran to win that event in the 1928 Olympic games. rhe other two Big Ten sophomore sprinters are Hal Thonipton. Minnesota, and Don Renwick, Michigan. Big Ten indoor champion who was beaten last week by Bennett. Another sophomore who promises ' to make astrong Olympic bid is John Brocks, Chicago negro, who ■ leaped 24 feet 3% inches to win the broad jump in the Drake relays, i His coach expects him to exceed - 25 feet in the Big Teh meet. ‘ Purma. Illinois capt lit, broke a • IG-year-old Big Ten record last ■ week when he threw the discuss 157 1 feet. 9% inches. The former Big > Ten mark of 155 feet. 2 inches was ' made by Arlie Mucks, Wisconsin's ’ great athlete, iu 1916. Edwin Russell, Michigan quartermiler, isn't quite in the same class with Ben Eastman of Stanford and Vic Williams of Southern California but he stepped off the 440 last week in 45.7 which entitles him to ' consideration tor the Olympic team. Clarence Munn. Minnesota's allAmerican football player, is the . holder of the conference indoor shot put record with a throw of 48 feet, 9*4 inches. 1 I Al Miller Enters 500-Mile Race Event Indianapolis Ind May 16 —There is a gangling youth six feet all driving in the 500-mile race here May 30 who ci.iuld fall down, stretch out and win a sprint race. He is making his first start here but he comes f om a racing family

that has given the track drivers older and younger thin he is.. Al Miller is his name. 25 years of age. six feet his height and 151 his poundage and he hails from Detroit. He will be up on jne of two Hudson Specials, the second to be ' driven by Chet Miller, a fellow townsman with some experience on l the Indianapolis track, but no blood I - i elation. In his attempt to etch his name on the timework bricks of the Ind-1 ianapolis Speedway. Miller comes; here with the experience of having ' been an engraver in the employ i f olie Detroit Free Press and an ! enviable reputation on dirt tracks.! where he still holds f ur record . , Miller holds the record for the Langhorne, Pa., track in a ride in ] a car not equipped witli a superc .a .er in 36.4 set nd-. He round- ' ed the flat trr.k at Kalamazoo. I Mich, in 46 seconds flat, ton ed the | Fort Wayue. Indiana, path in the | record time of 47.1 seconds and : jointly holds the rec rd for the' New Breman, Ind., track in 24 3 seconds. Miller's elder brother, the late Bruce, has been a competitc. in’ the Indianapolis race. Another brother. Cliff. 28, has been racing over dirt tracks f r several yeirs and there is a younger brother. Paul. 17. who began his racing antics only last year. “Out of the whole family we hope to scrape up a winner in the Ind ianapolis race within the next few years,” says the tall. shy. n vitiite at the Indianapolis tra.k. "I'll be the only one representing the family here this year but one of these days we'll have the whole team of Miller B.others.” In the days when Miller was tinkering with the chemicals which make newspaper etchings from phot graphs, Miller used to spend his fresh air hours with his boyhood compinion, William “Shorty” Cantion, then riding mot.rqyctes in his tour to the major league tracks of ra'.inlg. It must have been a strange sight to see Cantion. the tiniest pilot in racing, and Miller, six feet high, meandering around the dirt tracks. But s on they were teamijig together on a pair of cycles. “Because of his height he would have been more at home on one of those high bicycles,” says Canton, “'but his height had nothin- to do with his con age and he had plenty of that.” For six years Miller lias been serving his apprenticeship on dirt tracks as an automobile speeder in preparation for his debut here this year. Last year Miller wis in the grand tand at Indianapolis. io I Resignation Demanded Washington, May 16.—(U.R) —Senator Norris. Republican, Nebraska, today called on President Hoover to dismiss W.
