tVDIANS BACK IN ACTION AS WEATHER CLEARS; COLONELS HERE FRIDAY FOR FIRST SERIES

IRIBESMEN GET fIN ONE BATTLE l WITH CLYMERS Just as Senators (Jet Ready to Depart, Baseball Weather Makes Comeback. With the 1020 American Association season scheduled to “reopen” at Washington park this afternoon baseball hungry fans were expected to pile on the Todd specials and beat it out to view the Indians and Senators start their delayed series. Disgruntled by three postponements the Senators were in the act of packing u|> and starting for home when they were halted by the weather staging a comeback, and as a result the contest today was expected to develop Into a lively affair. Cal Crum was slated to perform on the momd for the Tribe, while Manager Clymer of the Columbus outfit had the choice of an entire staff because sl> his '.wlriers are in shape. Sherman tho likely pick, however, this hurler being or e of Bill’s best. The plaving field was somewhat soggy, but on all-morning manicure by the ground keepers put It in fair shape for a battle. The Indians and Senators were hit hard by the rain of the early week and though the athletes were set back slightly in condition by loafing they all were so anxious to get In action that today s contest was expected to see the ginger 3st wide open. Tribe fans also were keenly disappointed by the postponements, because every one" turns out when Bill Clymer comes to town. . _ Following th* game today the Indians have an open date and they ' .11 put In a stiff practice tomorrow if the smiling skies still hold out. * On Fridav the Louisville Colonels will make their 1920 appearance here, and Fridav being ladles' day. the team from the bluegrasa country no doubt will be greeted by a heavy weekday attendance. The Colonels will be here Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, after which the Indians will hit the road for an extended trip. Walter Rehg had started the organization of a water polo team when the rain ceased. Bill Clymer doffed his lid this morning when he walked out of the hotel and saw the sunbeams. Louie Wolf says he’ll stage a comeback with the weather. If Louie can get just one solid blow he'll probably start a hitting streak. The Indians are not saying much, but they are taking nofice of the pace St. Paul is setting. Soon as a guy gets to be champion he doesn’t seem to want to knock ’em any more. Maybe that is why Babe Ruth isn’t pushing the pellet the fences. Maybe, again, Babe doesn’t want to cause the Yankee colonels any more expease—baseballs costing over two bucks a home-run this season. The Boston bloomer girls are nearly as popular in California as the Mack Senbathing beauties were in New York. Here’s chance for Ed Barrow to win back the Boston fans. He has a rookie that looks like Babe Kuth. Baseball scribes are boosting Brownsville. Tex., as a training camp site. They want all the teams to train there next spring. They say it is an ideal place to ggt atmosphere. Brownsville is Just across the border from Matamoras. Sporting News tells the following yarns on Joe Cantillon, veteban manager of the Millers, who has been famous for taking a lot of oldtimers, letting them do as they pleased, and then winning a pennant with them. One evening in a hotel in Kansas City, a well meaning clerk ventured this to Joe: “Mister Cantillon, 1 think I should tell you that some of your players stay out late at night. They come In long after you retire.” Joe replied Instantly: “I have four men on this club who never sleep In their beds. I have four who come in when they feel like it, and the rest I know go to bed early.”

Early Major Upsets Come When Pitching Stars Do a Brodie Slab Mainstays in Big Leagues Having Trouble Getting , Started. NEW YORK, April 21.—Hardly away from the shore on a season’s cruie, the pitching staff of several major league clubs is sprawled out on the rocks. The “bust” of the mighty among the elite hurlers has been one of the most marked developments of the Infant season. The Cubs were to chase the Reds for the .pennant on the strength of an A1 pitching staff. Alexander the Great was knocked out of the box twice and he totes the rep of the league’s best pitchers Hip Vaughn was driven ont once and Toothless Tvler cut In for a drubbing. Between them they have won only one out of four games. STAR IN SOUTH BLOW IN NORTH. The Giants brought up from Texas what was painted in red as the “swellest staff” In the league. Barnes, leader In games won last year; Art Nehf, Rube Benton, Fred Toney and Jess Winters have brought McGraw only one victory out of five. The Gibraltar of the Yankees is made out of putty. Shawkey, tguian. Mogrldge and Mays have also turned in only one game out of five. Walter Johnson has been knocked from the box and chunks of disagreeable experiences have been served to Vble, the voung Spoke; Waiter Reuther, the Red bulwark; Cooper, the Pirate portslde; Sothoron, the ex-st iner of the Browns; Dick Rudolph end Rube Marquard. ORDINARY STAFFS GOING STRONG. Some of the fair staffs are soaking np all the r.ifs of the spotlight. The Red Sox are at the top of the American league ladder, the White Sox and the Spokes are pisht below hem; Brooklvn and Pittsburg are on the crest of the National heap and the Reds and the Phils are riding nicely apace in the rear —all because their pitchers are doing the unexpected. Babe Adams, figured as a shelf fixture ▼ears ago, has won two games. So have Fredie Sehupp. Leon Cadore, Coveleskle, Pennock and Causey. Claude Williams and Eddie Clcotte, who pitched for Gleason’s team last year, have won & game each.

REGULATION DIAMOND FOR BOYS

Como&red A race of ballplayers—that would ba the ideal for organized baseball owners. The faster the crop grows the greater will be the harvest for the big top maungc rs. And the major leagues have not neglected that great institution of noise and enthusiasm —the future ball players of tomorrow —the great American boy. Tbe Joint committee has formally recognized boys under 18 as a future source of supply for the professional reeks by provision for a smaller diamond and a lighter ball for the youngsters. New measurements for the boys’ diamond are recommended to be 82 feet between bases, instead of 90 feet; the pitching mound to be 50 feet from home base, Instead of 60 feet 8 Inches, and the ball to weight four and one half ounces, Instead of five and one-quarter. Copies of the3e regulations, passed by the major league committee, will be r.eat to mayors and playg-ound directors of American cities wl’li a request that the suggestions for boys’-sized diamond and baseball be adopted. If baseball stars of the future are to rival or excel those of the present or past a suitable diamond, ball and bat for them to work with are essential to their age and strength limits. A regulation ball for Walter Johnson and GroTei Alexander is all right, but ! too heavy for a boy of 14 years. The ; throw from the rubber to the plate is [ too far also. The 120-foot throw from home to second base is too long for a boy under 16. All the throws across the regulation diamond are beyond the strength of a growi ing youngster. A boy can’t bit a regulation basebad past a shortstop 140 feet from the plate. ; That distance Is far enough away to be au outfiell for a boys' diamond. With the big league officials recognizing the millions of American boys, they will warm to tho game as never before.
