The biggest season in the history of the fish hatchery at Riverside Is just getting under headway. More than 3<V> large and small-mouth black bass breeders will be placed on the nests in the thirty-three ponds this week. In previous years only three ponds were used for breeding purposes. Not only will bass be raised, but crapple. blue gill, perch and wall-eyed pike ns well. For the lovers of the big outdoors the hatchery grounds are unsurpassed as a place to spend a quiet and enjoyable day. Just a few minutes walk from Riverside park one can find nestling in a hollow the hatchery with an abundance of refreshing cool shade and spirklltig spring water, which causes one to soon forget the hot be.aten path of the city eucb a short distant away Sclentifl ■ angling is rapidly increasing i in favor as shown by the large and enI thusiastio crowds gathering at the ponds I on Sunday.

It looks as if the Toledo Hens have everything but a pitching stiff to hattU the Saints. And a club can't win a pennant without high class pitching. Home runs are dally occurrences in Kansas City and the Indians need a better pitching staff to get by in that park.

Racers Designed by Chevrolet Look Good to Many Auto Fans Some Dopesters See Big Chance for Louis' Creations in Speed Event. Only two American-made cars have won an Indians polls 500-mile race. Both were oars made in the Hoosier metropolis. Will the Monroes, Indianapolis-mnde cars, be able to break the string of five victories set up by foreign machines in the 500-mile dash for $50,(V)0 to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedivhy Monday, May 31V i Many who have seen the Monroes work ' out on the brick oval are of the opinion ■ that the creations of Louis Chevrolet : have an ext-elleut chance in the hands of such drivers as Louis and Gaston !

Bell is the first manager to take up the fight and he says he is ready to meet Massing and arrange a date for the opening battle of the proposed little war. They will probably get together this week to pick a suitable diamond and arrange other matters. Beil saya his team will be ready for action any time after May SI. Massing saya his team is ready right now and the sooner they get together the better. Bell will wager his clothes that his club wins. So will Massing bet his clothes and all that's in 'em Beil hints that Elmer Brown, former big league hurler, will pitch for him. Massing aa.vs he'll give the Merits Brown and throw In Ruth.
