INDIANS ADD NEW HURLERS AS OFFICIALS RUSH PLANS TO BOLSTER; CAL CRUM DESERT*

TWO PITCHERS PURCHASED BY THE TRIBESMEN Southpaws Lynch of Red Sox and Petty of Cleveland Are Obtained. CRUM BELIEVED JUMPER By EDDIE ASH. Following a galaxy of deals and misdeals yesterday. Tribe officials shuffled ‘ the baseball cards again today and = "Presto, Chango!'' another twiilor was added to the roster. This time is it Jimmy Lynch, southpaw, purchased from the Boston Bed Sox, notification of the acceptance of the : Indianapolis offer wired yesterday being received by Secretary Flatter today. Lynch is a former Fordham college star and the fact that the Red Sox have held on to him this long indicates that h evidently is a promising prospect. LYNCH EVIDENTLY HAS SOMETHING. When the big league clubs hold on to youngsters two weeks after the season opens it usually means that the youths possess developing talent and Manager Hendricks no doubt will welcome Lynch Into the fold. Lynch hurled winning ball against rival big eastern college teams and is said to have the stuff necessary to meet the pace in Class AA baseball. Pitcher Jess Petty was obtained from the Cleveland Americans late Monday and he will report to the Hoosiers in Columbus Wednesday. Manager Speaker of the Cleveland club recommended Petty in strong terms and he will be given a thorough tryout. Petty was with Milwaukee last season and, despite the fact that he was on a

A Night and a Day Pitcher Jimmy Lynch, former Fordham college star, bought from the Boston Red Sox. Pitcher Jess Petty, bought from til" Cleveland Americans. Failure of a deal whereby Outfielder Zwilling was to be traded to Kansas City for Pitcher Herb Hall. Release of Pitcher Karl Adams to the Tuisa club. Rumored desertion of Pitcher Ca Crum to Bethlehem of the outlaw Steel league. Team departs for Columbus to open road trip lasting until May 2®. losing club, Cleveland thought enough of bis ability to take him up last winter. Petty is a southpaw also, which will give tlie Indians four portside (lingers, according to the status of the Tribe staff at present. Other deals will follow, according to Owner Smith, who is determined to get his club up in the running. A deal whereby Outfielder Zwilling was to go to Kansas City in exchange for Pitcher Herb Hall, was called off late last night, when Hall failed to come to terms with the Indians. Zwilling was willing to report to the Blue# and had even purchase i a ticket to St. Paul, where he would have Joined Alex McCarthy's outfit, but when Hall decided to remain at his present em ployment at the Nordyke-Marmon plant. Manager Hendricks notified the Blues that Zwilling would be retained. It was late before Zwiliug could te located and notified of the cancellation of the deal and he did not depart for Columbus to catch up with the Indians until this morning. Pitcher Cal Crum is baseball deserter, apparently. HAD N’O GRIEVANCE WITH THE TRIBE. He did not report at Washington park yesterday afternoon and as he was seen conferring wltU Roxey Roach, outlawleague agent, it is presumed that he has gone to the Steel league. If Crum has Joined the outlaws It is one of the meanest tricks ever turned by a ball player. He did not make known any grievance and even drew advance money, according to Manger Hendricks, then took the hurdle#. Owner Smith intends to visit the east and confer with Steel league officials end notify them of what kind of deals their agents are making end he believes he possesses the necessary influence to bare Crum fired out of even the outlaw circuit. Pitcher Karl Adams was on his way to join the Tulsa club today, the Tribe havirg relased him to the Oklahoma team. Adams was unable to show anything here, but before leaving he stated that he still believed he would do a comeback. Therefore much has occured In Tribe channels during the last twenty-four hours and if the team doesn't show immediate improvement there will be a further shaking up of the roster.

Notes of the Tribe 'Twas a dark,anrl stormy night, the rain was falling fast; Jack Hendricks made a swan, but the darn thing didn't last. Therefore. Ed Zwilling Is still an Indian, but when he departed for Colum bus this morning to rejoin the team he said he no longer would be a still Indian. Which will mean much if the ‘‘windmill" can get that bat working. If the Tribe continues to add new players, how about another training trip? Florida papers are urged to take up the suggestion. It is said Roxey Roach, outlaw league agent, first tried to Induce Facet to Jump and was turned down. Then he tried Rogge and received another rebuff. Backsliding to Crum, he landed, evidently. Hendricks says Crum feared he wouldn't he able to stick with the A. A. pace this season, and there may be something in that. Cal was noted for a weakness under fire. Owner Smith has something “on" the Steel league that the jumping athletes are not aware of and Crum may find himself out of a Job. What Smith possesses is likely to carry more weight than legal proceedings. Crum is the fourth Tribe player stolen by the outlaws. Y’erkes, Hill and Callahan are said to be playing regularly with the outlaws These three were under reserve to Indianapolis, but not under contract, and little effort was made to stop them. The case of Crum is different In that he was tinder a 1920 contract and much money was spent in getting him in shape this spring. Added to this he left the club when it was in the worst possible hole. Even an anarchist In base ball hardly would turn a trick like that. Owner Smith is getting rapidly experienced in the ups and downs of a baseball magnate. Josh Devore will get back In harness with the Waukesha team in the T.ake Shore league, which i an organization in and around Milwaukee playing Saturday and Sunday ball. Josb says he will work, play baseball and fish. That’s about all that's left to do in Milwaukee. If yon think the Indians are going rotten take a slant at the Detroit Tigers. Nothing end nipe! Groundkeeper Dave Johnson is planning a trip to Cincinnati to get some big league ideas on playing fields. Dave says a trip to Cincinnati doesn’t mean what it used to mean. The Indians will be in Louisville Derby day. The boys are looking the field over now. After the game was called off j*esurday both' Indians and Colonels went through short practices when the shower stopped. The Colonels left for Toledo last night to aid the Hens open the season In Toledo. The Tribe pitching staff now consists of Caret, Itogge. Murray. Petty and Lynch. More introductions will follow. The Indians will not return until May 29, when the Colonels will be back for another series. Then the Saints will appear. Vice Trc-sident Smith left with the te#n and will stay with it on the Jong re""* fetn i

Dempsey's Marriage to Maxine in 1916 Invalid , Is Charge Investigation Opens Way for Former Wife to Testify, Officials Say. SAN FRANCISCO, April 27. —Evidence Indicating that the marriage of Maxine Wayne Dempsey to Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, at Farmington, Ftab. in October. 1916. was in violation of the Utah divorce laws, and therefore invalid was made public by the bureau of investigation of the department of justice here Monday. The former Mrs. Dempsey was a prominent witness in the federal grand jury investigation which resulted in the indictment of Dempsey and Jack Kearns, his manager, on a selective draft evasion charge. The officials announced they had certified documents to show that Mrs. Dempsey married Dempsey thirteen days after she secured an interlocutory decree from George f’lasshoff, a brakeman. in Salt Lake City. Sept. 28, 1916, whereas the Utah law directs that no wedding ean take place until at least six mouths after such decree is granted. The result of the Investigation, it is said, will give Mrs, Dempsey the right to testify against Dempsey and Kearns. Dempsey has been finally divorced, but at the time the letters on which the indictments are based were written Mrs. Dempsey still was his wife. On that account had the marriage been unquestioned. Mrs. Dempsey could not have testified against her former husband, according to the authorities. FOt K-DAY EI,APSE. SALT LAKE CITY, April 27. Department of Justice agents engaged in obtaining infornia: ton for use in the prosecution of Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion pugilist, gave out information today showing that Mrs. Dempsey secured ..n interlocutory decree of divorce from George Glassholf in Salt Lake City.

BOXING NEW YORKERS AWAIT BOXING NEW YORK, April 27.—Passage by the legislature of tno Walker bill, sport promoters hope, will revive boxing in thi,- state to a plane equal to that of twenty years ago, when world's chain plonshlps were contested here. Gov. Hmifh is certain to sign the bill. Tlie sport was placed under a state athletic commission by the Frawley law in 1911 and was abolished iu 1917.

Jeffries won tlie world's heavyweight championship from Boh Fitzsimmons In jSt * and later defended It here against Tom Sharkey and James J. Corbett. The only heavyweight contest of note held under the Frawley law was a teurnund bout between Jess Willard, titleholder then, and Frank Moran.

Scarlet Relay Men Backed by Students to Cop Penn Event CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.. April 27. The students of Wabash college are preparing a grand reception for the conquering heroes. With the Scarlet team’s brilliant showing in the Drake relays fresh in their memory, the followers of the squad can see nothing ghort of a victory in the Penn relays, to be held at, Philadelphia Saturday. The fact that three of the Wabash runners did their half-mile in less than two minutes in the preliminaries has aroused interest in the coming event to a wild pitch. The student body met the team at the chapel yesterday and gave the men an ovation such as has never been awarded an athletic outfit of the school. Wabash wdll go against some of the largest institutions in the country in the Penn relays, but upon their return from the Drake" games yesterday the men appeared in the best of form, and Athletic Director Townsend says they will be prepared to show their full strength Saturday.
