MARTIN STARS IN TIMES WIN Baseball dope was shattered yesterday afternoon by the independent amateurs in their chase fo> first-round victories in the city Independent title series. Sandlot baseball in all its various hues and shapes was dished out for the approval of the fans, and right from the start the contestants made it known that copping the title Is going to be no infant’s play. The feature game, and what many fans consider the feature surprise, was sprung at Riverside diamond No. 1, when The Daily Times all-high nine stepped In and put the grab-hooks on their little fracas with the Indianapolis Trojans, one of the clubs that was backed heavily to win the tourney. The final count of this game was 4 to,4s. Johnny Martin, Times hurler, proved himself a real diamond luminary when he out-smarted the veteran Elmer Brown of the Premier Motors in pitching, and also gained renown with the bat, by getting two doubles, one of them counting the winning tally. Martin allowed only five blows. The Times athletes were on their toes in yesterday’s game, fighting hard all the time, and today the dopesters who were out/loped yesterday had them checked up as championship stuff. It might also be well to note that Martin pitched and won his game for the Connersvllle Commercial team Saturday. The following men were used in The Times lineup Sunday: Escol, center field; Deiderieh, third base- Stevens, left field. Rice, second base; Foley, short; Caldwell, catch- Mlddleaworth. first base; Martin, pitch; Bourne and Seldenstlcker, right field. The Trojan lineup included; Lewis, first base; Redmond, left field; Lonemler. third base. Strahl, catch; Zerkte, short; Cobb, center; Dampler,

The Bells meet the Bemis Bags tomorrow In the city series* with Burt Bruder taking McGhee’s place at short. George Broughton singled in the tenth and brought Helm home with the winning run for the Merits at Bedford yesterday. Engelklng and Lucid were the Merit battery men. The Rupp Juniors handed the Southern A. a neat belting on Brookside diamond No. 1 yesterday. For games with the Rupps call Prospect 1964 and ask for John. The Oliver A. C.’s have no game booked for Sunday and t>uld like to bear from a fast state club. Address Henry tllesslng, Indianapolis Coal Company. Indianapolis Special pitchers couldn’t pitch and Indianapolis Special batters couldn't bat, and therein lies the story of the South Side Turner 23 to 3 win at Garfield. Heinie Goett cut ’em down at the first stop and collected four Turner blows during the course of the agony. Cody Rafferty and Ike Johannes also were prominent with the hickory.
