INDIANS HOPE TO START RUN OF VICTORIES DURING INVASION OF THE WESTERN CITIES

TRIBESMEN AND BREWERS OPEN 4-GAME SERIES Indians Get First Look at What Jack Egan Manages This Year. MILWAUKEE. May M. —Jack Hendricks’ Indians got their first glimpse of the 1920 Brewers today and, although the Cream City gang has a higher percentage than the Tribesmen, the Hoosiers can't figure why .lack Egan's gang has any reason to be classed as a pennant contender. Rogge was up for the pitching assignment today and Pug Caret also was ready to perform. Due to the fact that Butch Henline has been slugging the ball to all corners, this youngster appeared to be the man for the afternoon’s backstop job despite the fact that the veteran Gossett Is again ready and anxious to get back into regular harness. Manager Hendricks is still trying to bolster his pitching and outfield departments. He is almost sure of landing a first-class twirler soon, but ho Is having trouble in locating hitting talent for the gardens. The Indians arc wildly anxious to get started on something that looks like a winning streak and they believe that this western trip will give them the opportnuity to climb. The Brewers have lost both Smyth and Forsyth by injuries this season, but Egan’s men are a fighting gang and with good pitching the team is hard to beat. Therefore, local fans believe this series with the Hoosiers will produce some lively baseball.

Around the A. A. —WITH EDDIE ASH— The Milwaukee club can't kid the Indianapolis team about being the makebelieve Indians any longer. The Milwaukee club is now the make-believe Brewers. "Six O’clock .Tack” Is the new monicker Louisville fans have tacked on Manager Hendricks. Milwaukee pitchers seem to hare taken a brace recently. More hard roads for the Tribe. In the only game played in the association yesterday the Brewers downed the Blues. Thev can't make things too rapid for Josh Devore in Grand Rapid*. Josh say* all he needs is a few pitchers and an outfielder and he'll be ready to step out with a pennant winner In the new Michigan league. If Butch Henline continue* hls sensational catching and hitting he'll be a plum for the big leagues to pluck next fall. Butch has nn unlimited suppply of pepper and he's the typo of player that makes a hit with the fans. Bill Clymer Isn't creating much excitement in bis comeback as a Columbus manager. He’s evidently lost hls steam.

Marathon Star Is Puzzled Over Which Flag to Represent Trivoulidas May Not Be Permitted to Run for His Adopted Country. Know Peter Trivoulidas? Ever hear his name In sport? It’s a good bet very few sport fans, speaking generally, know Peter. But he broke into the sport ealciutn j the other day by winning the American ! marathon road face in Boston, and, despite a strong wind which held him back, set a remarkably fast pace, running the distance In 2:29.31. This is eight minutes slower than the record. There's a bit of romance, or whatever you want to call It, In Peter's victory. The marathon race commemorates the feat of a Grecian soldier who ran from the plains of Marathon to Athens with a military message, dropping degd at the end of the run. And this sturdy Trivoulidas hails from Greece. Three rears ago he decided to come to America, and now, at 29, he stands out as one of the best marathon runners in the game today. Asa result of his feat at Boston Peter may run in the Olympic games at Antwerp. He has applied for his first citizenship papers for the second time. The first time they were refused him because he couldn't talk English. If he can obtain his papers In time he undoubtedly will represent the United States in the sport classic. If his request fails he may represent his native country. The Hellenic association of Boston has come forward with the announcement that it will pay his expenses back to Greece if arrangements can be made to have him run for that country. Trivoulidas was born in Sparta, Greece, twenty-nine years ago. He ran his first marathon, the famous classic from Marathon to Athens, in 1911, finishing third. The following year he finished second in a five-mile race, and in 1914 won a twenty-one-kilometer race. When the war broke out he Joined the Greek navy, being discharged in 1910. When Peter came to the United States in 1917 he entered the running game here, finishing fourth in a marathon event In New York. in 1918 he finished fifth In a modified marathon tn New- York. That year he ilso finished third in the Metropolitan ' A. i". junior cross-country championhip. I.ast year he finished seventh in he Boston marathon. lie's a bussboy in a New York department store.

Joe Boyer in City to Take Charge of His Speed Chario^ Joe Boyer, another driver who races ‘just to be racing,” arrived in Indianapolis yesterday to tak,e charge of the Frontenac car he will handle in the 600mile speed classic at the speedway, May 31. Although money has never been the big goal for Boyer in the speed game, he is on the books as one of the most daring men that ever piloted a car. He likes to feel the “pull” of a high-powered speed mouster, and is never satisfied until he has his car tearing around the track at the highest possible speed. Barring accidents, he seldom crosses the tape with the rear guard. The Detroiter cast his hat in the speed ring at the Indianapolis track in 1915. When Louis Chevrolet failed to make the necessary elimination speed with his Cornelian, Joe took the wheel and delivered the goods. Witnesses of last year’s race will remember how Boyer and Ralph DePalma battled hub-to-hub for forty-six miles last year with the sixth position at stake. DePalma won by less than a yard.
