INDIANS OPEN SERIES AT LOUISVILLE TOMORROW; PLAY DOUBLE-HEADER THERE SUNDj |

TRIBE MANAGER SAYS TEAM IS FINDING FORM Hendricks, Home for Day, Praises Work of Henline, Petty and Smith. STILL AFTER PITCHERS Jack Hendricks, Tribe boss and grandstand expert, was back in the city today, spending the schedule holiday before rejoining the Indians at Louisville tomorrow. Jack's suspension has been lifted and he was back on the coaching lines yesterday. Therefore, he will not have to direct plav from the grandstand any longer. During his suspension he learned all about grandstands and believes be would make an efficient baseball park architect. .. . He is greatly elated over the good showing of Pitcher Jess Petty, the all around development of Catcher Henl.ue and the fact that Outfielders Zwilling and Rehg apparently have come out of their batting slump. Jack also has a good word for Inflelder Smith and Rookie Outfielder Shinners. Smith, be says, has found his true Tribe Batting Averages (Includes all games) AB H. SB.

Regarding Shinners, Hendricks stated that the young player is in need of batting development only in order to become a high-class American association performer. Hendricks is still on the lookout for pitching talent and is negotiating with big league clubs for two siabsters. He is of the opinion that Cavet, Rogge and Pettv are sure to be mainstays, and also thinks Ed Flaherty will do. Lynch * and Murray, he says, are still doubtful quantities. ' The fact that the Tribe got an even break with the slugging Mud Hens is sufficient rroof. he says, that the'lndians are picking up iu all-round development and with good pitching he feels certain the club will gradually win a place In the first division.

SERIES WINDUP EASY FOR TRIBE TOLEDO, 0., May s.—With Southpaw Jess Petty in form the Indians stepped out and made the Toledo Hens look like selling platers in the series windup game yesterday. The score was 6 to 0 and the result of the contest was further proof that the Hooaiera have a pennant contending hall club whenever their pitching la right. Petty was tight with men on bases, while his teammates bombarded Brady’s offerings often, including'a triple and a double in their day’s bit total. The Tribe got away to another flying start, counting two runs in the opening inning. They added markers as the game progressed and were decisive winners at the finish. The victory g; ve the Indians an even break on the series, despite the boosting the Hens have been receiving and the Hendricks din left here for Louisville fairlv well satisfied that they have the stuff to work up into the first division. The Indians were idle today, due to an open date in the schedule, and they will not start the Colonel series until tomorrow. Jack Hendricks was out on the coaching lines yesterday. President Hickey having reduced bis suspension n few davs. So much criticism has been heard around the circuit over the heavy penalty tacked on HendrP'ks that the league prexy evidently decided that be bad been’too hasty and harsh.

Italian Football Game Starts Small-Sized War ROME, May 5. —A football match between teams representing the cities of Lucca and Viareggio, played at Viaregglo Monday, wound up with a fight and then a riot A so-mer army captain, who acted as umpire, tried to Intervene to settle the difference when it first arose, but failed. Carabineers then made efforts to reestablish order. The crowd attacked and disarmed the Carabineers and they were obliged to flee to their barracks. The mob looted a gunsmith shop, occupied the railway station and barricaded the roads leading into the city to ■prevent the arrival of reinforcements. Soldiers, however, succeeded In occupying the city and order was finally restored. State Bowling Games FT. WAYNE, Ind., May s.—ln the state bowling tournament last night, W. Frank® and W. Kraft, Ft Wayne, spilled IJ9T pins, taking second place In the doubles. BUTLER BEATS MARMONB. Stanley Feeale's Butler collegians took everything three Nordyke-Marmon hurl- j ers could offer them at Irving field yesterday and the anto builders hit the hot- ! tom of the hill on a 14-to-ll defeat Staton started for Butler and held the Marmons to three runs until the fifth frame, when bunched hits and three errora gave the losers four runs. Shockley took the mound in the following Inning and pitched good ball until the curtain dropped. . Butler meets the Bell Telephone* tomorrow afternoon.

Around the A. A. —WITH EDDIE ASH—; Manager Branch Rickey of the St. Louis National league team has announced the release of Oscar Tuero, a Cuban pitcher who has been with the Cards for the last three years, to the Kansas City club. Pitcher Roy Hansen of the Minneapolis club deserted yesterday. It is said he left for Beloit, Wis., to play independent baseball. Jack Hendricks, in the city today for a short visit before rejoining the Indians at Louisville, said he spent a terrible few days in that Toledo grandstand, es peeially during / the games In which the Tribe obtained a lead aad then lost out. Josh Devore has accepted the management of the Grand Rapids club. Jack Hendricks recommended Josh and believes that the former big leaguer, Tribesman and Marmonite has the ability to lead a winner. Soxy Lyons, roller pofo player and baseball umpire, is hack in the cityafter a prosperous winter season in the New England states. Soxy says polo took another boom the past winter and all the magnates earned a profit. Manager Mike ICelleyof the Saints evidently picked a live rookie in Pitcher Overlook. The youngster is showing strong, but of course has everything in his favor when backed by the Kelley machine. The Indians will play a doubleheader with the Colonels at Louisville Sunday. The ball players will be given Saturday off in order to view the running of the historic Kentucky Derby. There will be many Hoosiers in Louisville for the Derby and it looks as if that scheduled double bill Sunday yill develop into something sensational. When Indians and Colonels clash in twin bills there usually is somethin’ doing. Dressen drove home the winning marker for the Saints In the tenth inning against the Brewers yesterday. The Brewers have tangled with the Saints seven times this season and lost every game. Too much Saints, says Milwaukee. The Millers and Blues engaged in anothers slugfest and Cantiilon's gang won. Two K. C. plnchliitters struck out in the ninth in the midst of a rally. ' Robertson, new Columbus sho'rtstop, went big with the stick, getting a double and three singles. The Senators broke their losing streak by downing the Colonels. Eddie Zwilling made a great catch for the Indians yesterday In the first inning. It was so sensational that he easily turned It into a double play. Cozy Dolan, former Tribe handy man. ,who is now acting as coach for the Chicago Cubs, had one put over on him recently. Cozy located a store advertising all wool sweat shirts for sa'.e at 51.25. and after a dozen or more Cubs had purchased the “bargains'’ it was learned the shirts were all cotton. It was not reported wbat Cozy did to the salesman.

If the managers turn in their erea well check this tronble off the list. This ''long road that has no turning" story is true enough. Jack Sweeney turned out at the helm of the Rupp Juniors Sunday. They're all talking about the class the Turners showed at Brookside Sunday. Some of the ‘‘up before breakfast dopesters arc mingling the name of the south siders in with their city champUmsblp talk. With the Junior league a fizzle, the park board cup will be awarded the city champs, together with tne 1. A. B. A. cup. We are surprised that some of the voting amateurs did not vote for Carl Callahan for precinct committeeman, president or some other lihle old office yesterdays. No doubt, Harding would have looked a little better in this city if he had atuck an amateur baseball plank in his platform. Thinkest thou there won’t be beck when the Marmons and Premiers clash. “Butters” Herman has again answered the call of busted fingers. He Is behind the bat for the G A- J outfit. Pat Lucid's Wheeler-Schebler club will luck a bit Ixetter next Saturday with Tommy' Sweeney, the south side starlight, in harness.

The Telephones are frank to admit that they don't notice anything that looks like a blockade to keep them from repeating this season. Volney Fowler went home to Marlon Indiana College Games WABASH TRIMS DEPAUW. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., May 5. But for a cracked defense in the eighth Inning, Heald, Wabash pitcher, would have been credited with c shutout victory over DePauw here yesterday. As it was, the Tiger tossera were let down on an 8-to-5 defeat. Heald started the Wabash scoring when he crashed out a double in the second with two men on base, and Weber, next man, came through with a circuit clout. Heald'a Mowed his opponents only four hits. FRANKLIN WALLOPED. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May s.—Errors and all-around poor baseball caused the Franklin nine to be defeated, 17 to 3, by the Indiana university athletes yesterday. The Baptists scored three runs in the ninth frame. PURDUE DOWNS IRISH. LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 5. —A double, two singles and two errors in the eighth inning untied a 4-to-4 knot and gave Purdue an 8-to-4 victory over Notre Dame in a hot scrap on Stuart field yesterday. Foley. Notre Dame pitcher, was touched for eight hits, wbiie Wallace held the Irish to five bJngles and checked ten times on the strike-out side of the ledger. The playing of Fitzgerald for Notre Dame was the fielding feature of the contest.

Rumors of Changes in Managerial Jobs Reported in Majors NEW YORK, May 5. —George Stallings, the original ‘‘miracle man” of baseball, is going to raise long-horned cattle next year instead of experimenting with a pennant crop in Boston. On the first trip of the Boston club here in the spring Stallings announced his intention to retire at the end of the season. That is a definite promise of one new managerial face in the majors next spring. There are vague promises and hints of others. Recent rumblings heard under the surface have It that a couple of mtrtseason changes may be made if things don’t change. Hugh Jennings was so terribly tardy in winning a game for Detroit this season that the old stock rumors of ‘‘Jennings out. Cobb in” are being revived and fanned about. Cobb is not the unanimous choice for Jenning's successor among the dopesters. They say now that Cobb is the real manager of the club and that is as close as the players of the club would let him get to'it Since the Tigers have won two in a row things may change. In New York Miller Huggins is having his troubles with the Yankees. He has the most expensive team in the league and one of the strongest on paper, yet the Y'anks in action aTe a choice bunch of misfits. Johnny Evers, according to reports, has his eye on Boston. eH is to go there next year either as the successor of Stallings or as part owner and manager of the club. Shortridge Trims Easterners In defeating the Panlist Choir team of Now York City yesterday at Riverside park, 17 to 6, the Shortridge High school baseballers uncovered anew pitching star in ‘‘Mickey” Escol, ox basketball fame. Escol held the easterners to six bin gies and showed real class In this, his first appearance <n the mound. lie was backed up In good fashion by the airtight Blue and White infield. Caldwell worked well behind the plate.

| BOXING 1 GEORGES NOW WEARING SATIN PITTSBURG, May 5.—A record-break" lng crowd jammed Duquesne Garden here when Georges Carpentler gave an exhibition bout in conjunction with a regular boxing show. If Carpentler has as good a guard In the ring with Jack Dempsey as he has on his private car, he will be heard to reach. Porters, brakemen, conductors. Jack Curley, tour manager, and finally the lron-visaged Deschamps, Georges' manager, were appealed to. “See Carpentler No, m'sieur, e'est impossible. He sleeps.” The pursuit was continued and at last Georges flashed on to the scene, decked in a red and yellow satin dressing gown. “I speek but leetle,” he remonstrated to the volley of questions. He shed a smile which expressed good cheer, confidence, ability and determination, and then he stalked back Into his car. TUESDAY NIGHT BOUTS. AT MONTREAL— Joie Fox, English bantam, knocked out Willie Mead of Albany in the first round. AT MEMPHIS—PaI Moore of Memphis outpointed Jack Wolfe, Cleveland, in eight rounds. AT WILLIMANTIC, Conn.—Battling Leonard, Philadelphia, outpointed Willie Spencer, New York, in ten rounds. ' Butler Net Stars Win CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind* May 5. The Butler tennis team, composed of Wnlmsley and Koehler, Tuesday took two out of three matches from the Wabash net aggregation, whining the doubles match and one single match. In the opening match Boyd won from Walmsley in straight sets, 6-8, fl-3. Walmsiey and Koehler, by winning four games straight in the last set, topped the doubles from Boyd and Cox by scores of 6-1. 4-6, 7-5. In the other singles match Litton dropped three games at the end of the Last set and lost to Koehler, 6-2, 6-4. Indiana's tennis champs meet the local combination on Friday, and on Saturday the University of Oklahoma not artists will play the Wabash men.

SURPRISES SEE* IN BIG LEAGUJSa Red Sox, Phillies and White| Sox Are Speeding. Though the pennant races in the in*-'' ,lor leagues are three weeks old tolfcj, baseball critics are unwilling & cent- <le that more than half of the team.' are traveling at normal speed. ' Several clubs la both big leagues have furnished startling surprises. The “winter wrecked” White Sox and the Red Sox and Phillie? have, upset the “dope” by taking commanding positions in the percentage column*. The Giants, Cubs and Tigers have failed to run true to expected form by ?' playing the roles of consistent losers. GOOD WEATHER MAY CHANGE IT. It may be a month before the various teams settle down to their true levels. Uncertain weather has undoubtedly had much to do* with the poor showing of some of the pennant chasers and it is expected that good weather will work some changes in the percentage lineup. The first inter-sectional series, scheduled to open May 10-11 In both leagues, with eastern National league vndlng the west while eastern leaguers dig in to withstand the of the first rush by western American league clubs, should give fandom a better line on both races. TWO CLUBS I F TO FORM DOPE. So far only two clubs—the Reds and Cleveland Indians—have shown consistent ability to live up to pre-season “doping.” but the races have been full of thrills and some very unusual performances such as the breaking of tte' endurance record by the Brooklyn Dodgers. \ As the fourth week of the season mi nsbered in today the demon statisticians searched in vain for Roush and Cobb, batting champions, among the first five hitters in either league. Joe Jackson was leading the American league with .469 and Rogers Hornsby was headixyg the National with .475. COLLEGE BASEBALL. Wabash, 8; DePauw, 5.
