Hendricks Grooms Tribe for A. A. Opening Clash

Indians Sent Through Final Drill Today and Team Is Ready for Senators. CLEVELAND GAME FAST With the Hoosier squad In shape with the exception of Infielder Baird and Pitcher Jones, the 19111 Indians tuned up for the last time today before making their appearance in the opening game of the season with the Columbus Senators at Washingtoa park tomorrow afternoon, starting at 3:30 o’clock. Caret and Gossett have drawn the open*j)g day battery assignment for the Hoosand the remainder of the line-up will be the same as faced the Cleveland world's champions yesterday. Manager Hendricks sent his athletes through both fielding and batting drills today and, with his veteran battery ready for action, he feels that his team is fit to bring Indianapolis victory in the • first battle of the American Association season. With the Indians set for the big task and with varions civic organizations and individuals fending an enthusiastic hand toward boosting the opening, tho entire city Is pulling for weather of the fair and warmer brand. All the parade plans are complete and the baseball street pageant promises to be the snappiest of Its kind ever .staged here. All lovers of sports aad the" great outdoors have been thinking and talking baseball for the last few days and It is believed that Indianapolis stands a splendid chance of winning the leauge trophy for highest opening day attendance. ANOTHER APPEAL FOR BIG TIRN-OI T. Toledo, last year s cup winner, has notified the local t*uamber of Commerce that It means to repeat and for this reason officials in charge of the opening ceremonies here seut out another appeal today urging every citizen who possibly can give the time to be at Washington Park tomorrow to help swell the crowd and thereby give Indianapolis a better chance in the race for the A. A. attendance cup. Many fans who witnessed the Cleve-land-Indianapolls game here yesterday were ready to admit today that Jack Hendricks has a pennant eontendex under his wing. Opposing Tris Speaker's world's series line-up the Iloosiers fought every inch of the way and were defeated only through the “breaks” of the game. The score woa 2 to 0 in favor of the baseball titleholders, but in getting those two runs the Speakerites had to exert themselves to the utmost. The Hendricksmen got six hits to four for the visitors, but one of the Hoosiers’ two errors cost a run and a bad decision by the field umnlre gave the Clevelanders an opening to score their other marker. At any rate the fans present obtained a good line on how the Tribe machine is going to work this season, and it is needless to say that nearly every fan in the park departed in a satisfied state of mind. Charlie Whitehouse hurled five innings for the Hoosiers and Stryker the lat four. The Cleveland two runs were scored while “Whitey” was on the rnonnd, but with perfect support and an even break in baseball luck Charlie would have finished his time on the mound without being found for a score. Stryker cut loose some of his puzzlers the last four frames and did not allow the world s • hamos a hit. PICKING PLATS IN TOP FORM. Two bad pieces of base running cost the Tribe a couple of scoring opportunities. once when R**hg was caught off second and again in the eighth when Stryker was nipped off first. However, it must not be forgotten that the noosiers were facing two nationally known pitchers in Mails and Bagby. and the fact that they managed to out-hit the big leaguers was a most pleasing feature even if the home club did lose. The Hoosier infield worked in fine style, especially Sicking, who chased around in four directions grabbing off Cleveland efforts. Kinsella found his batting eye and besides crashing out a triple, he" hit the ball hard on ■two other occasions and was beaten to only by a fraction. Rube Lutzke Sso hit for three has*** in addition to lotting a single. Th“ big leaguers scored limthe third and fifth, Speaker driving Jamieson home for the first marker and Baf%y scoring irt• the fifth on Evans’ sacrifice fly. to Rehg. TRIBE NEWS AND NOTES. The Hoosier spring record against the two best teams in the country is something to be proud of and no doubt th* result of the games has caused other clubs in the American Association to agree that Jack Hendricks means what he says when he predicts a flag winner here if he gets more pitchers. In two games with Brooklyn, National League champions, the Iloosiers annexed one of the battles, 4 to 3, in eleven innings, and were defeated in the other. 3 to 0, Brooklyn used its world's series line-up in both contests and New Orleans fans admitted that Indianapolis’ good showing was earned. In the second Brooklyn game, Manager Robinson of the Dodgers even sent his southpaw spitbaker. Mitchell, to the mound, and of course, this handicapped the Indians because the apltball has not been permitted in the American Association for two *eacon and the Tribesmen wero unused to the freak delivery. Against Cleveland yesterday the noosiers lost, but they played a fine article of ball and even out-hit the world's champions. Winning one and losing two In a series of three games with last fall's world's series teams is no small achievement.

A number of loyal Colnmbos fans trill b oyer for the biff game and they promise to make things merry even though they’ll be In a strange park and against heavy opposition by the Tribe rooters. The probable line-ups and batting •rders for the opener are as follows: COLLMBCS—Thompson. right field; Herzog, second base; Taggart, center field; Bralnerd, third base: Burrus, first base; Shannon, left field; Peehous short atop; Hartley, catch; Danforth or Sherman, pitch. IN DIANAPOLIS—Lutzke, third base ; Kinselln, right fild; Kehjr, left field; Covington, first base; Shlnners. center field; Schreiber, short stop; Sicking, second base; Gossett, catch; Cavet, pitch. Danforth. who is the most likely choice for the Columbus pitching assignment tomorrow, is a wlzzard when in form and hard to beat. He has been abused of using an outlawed freak delivery and usually gives the umpires lots of truble. It takes a smart umpire to detect Danforth's tricks and here’s hoping that tomorrow's umpires will be 6martThe Columbus team has been bolstered In several places by Manager Howland and it is not going to be as easy to defeat as last season. Rowland knows his business and is not accustomed to managing losers. Local fans have learned to like the work of Schreiber and Sicking around the keystone sack in exhibitions since the Indians "came up from the South. Tex Covington is the old reliable at first and Lutzke demonstrated yesterday that he knows his stuff at third. Manager Speaker of Cleveland Is unwilling to let Jess Petty come back to the Indians at this time. Tris is going to keep a large staff of pitchers until his aces get to going in top form, he said. The Pittsburgh Pirates offered tjie Hooslers a pitcher, but Manager Hendricks said tne young fellow's record did not warrant taking him into the American Association. Where you goin' to be tomorrow about 8:30? You said it, bo, right out at the old ball game! President'W. G. Smith Sr. and Vice Pioaident W. G. Smith Jr. are dyed-in-the-wool baseball fans as well as magnates, and they will be out there rooting with the rest of the throng. COMMISSIONER QCIT9. NEW YORK, April 12.—Joseph J. Johnon, chairman of the State boxing commission, Monday mailed his resignation to Governor Miller. The letter, understood to contain the reasons for Ills action. was not made pubilo.

They posted a score of 2,642 and went up for seventh place In the standing. The majority of the five-man shooters were unable to hit their stride, and as a result the scores did not come up to expectations. Reynolds led the Stafford bowlers with a count of 554. He got away to a good start, but had plenty of tough luck in his third game, ruining his chances for a spectacular total. Maedze of the Miller Hardware team took tho singe effort honors with a count of 222. The last of the South Bend bowlers shot their doubles and singles games yes terday. Ambos and Hickey going best in the doubles with a score of 1.126. and Guy toppling the individuals with 561 pins. The Wege-Stanford team was second to the Staffords in the team class, getting 2.542 pins. Vahle was the big gun of this combination. Tha Northern line-np, with Smeetman, Watson. Whiting, J. Powell and M. Powell, looks mighty good on paper, but the boys couldn’t find the wood last night. The Staffords got 915 pins in their first game, thereby copping the team honors for a single game. Jimmie McHugh and Bob Ritchey shot pretty means sticks for the National Furnitures. but their teammates forgot they were seeking tournament laurels. Lang threw a 101 anchor at ’em for the first game. ■* The Elk Tongues came into possession of a lot of bad luck and didn't get* farther along than the front door. Sheller worked well for the Schloss Brothers Juniors, topping his efforts with a 202.

Cooper of the Indiana Bells got the big score of the Commercial League last night, a 235. rnrrish, Kelley and Moore, also went big for the Telephone team and they copped three games from the Ballards.

Hart of the Postoffice crew opened np a bit, but couldn’t find the sticks in his other games. The Bemis Bags had plenty of wood and won three games from the Zenite team of the Manufactures loop. Gartner and Whetstlne went best for the winning combination. Haislnp of the Midwest Engines had a terrible time getting started; then he easily made up for what time he lost.

TALKING ENDS AND BIG TEAMS FACE BARRIERS Major Pilots Now Must Stand Acid Test of Battling for Real Thing. REDS ARE HANDICAPPED BY JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, April 12.—This Is the last day for verbal victories in the coming pennant races. Tomorrow the baseball season will be ushered in and sixteen major league teams will settle down to the serious business of winning games. Within anweek the Man-o’-Wars will be kicking dust in the faces of the selling platers, so to speak, aud the won and lost columns will begin to take reul shape. Optimism and the hope of ge.tting a fair share of the "breaks” prevailed among the major managers today, but soon some of them will be switchnig lineups about in a frantic effort to stop losing streaks. Others will be “S O S-lng” for talent from anybody, anywhere. Much depends on the brand of xveath*r the various teams encounter and the) early condition of the pitchers. Pitching ij always a vital factor in the first month of every pennant raes, but pitching isn't everything. A weak or uncertain cog here or there may mean a dozen defeats before the season ends. UOSBEB STILL SI-Eli TALENT. Naturally enough, the various managers and tiiely “road agents" are etilL keeping a weather eye peeled for anything in the. line of talent they might use. Not all of them are perfectly satisfid with their present line-ups by any means. Most of the teams tre carrying around a lot of players who will have to be rold, traded or farmed out *before tho time for cutting player rosters to tho twenty-five limit expires. Many corking good youngsters will have to go somewhere. Hence It is only natural to expect that there may be some Inter major league deals within the next thirty days or so. And there are the hold outs to consider. REDS SI ITER HARD WALLOP. Several highly valuable players have refused to report to their teams. The Reds have been hit the hard-st with Groh Roush and Kopf out of the fold. The Dodgers are still waiting for Burleigh Grimes to come in, and so it goes There isn't a club owner in the National League who wouldn't Jump at the chance to get Roush. itou-h could be used handily by no less than half a dozen teams. The big hold outs, naturally, are de manding young fortunes to play ball this summer. It follows that If they are to be satisfied some magnate must cut the string around the bankroll. If tho present holders of title to the e players finally decide to use them in trades there will be a wild scramble and the Xew York Giants and Chicago Cubs will be iu the thick of it. Butler Squad Out for Revenge on Boilermakers LAFAYETTE, Ind., Acrll 12—The Purdue and Butler baseball nines today were to square off for the second contest of their two game card here. Til* Indianapolis athletes were determined to gel revenge for the 8-to 0 defeat handed them yesterday, and a real diamond argument was expected. Wagner's brilliant twirling held the Butlerltes in check in the opening contest. The former Technical High School star was breezing them over in fine style and Page’* men could touch him for only live scattered bits, while seventeen strikeouts were credited to him. Purdue bopped <n Brown, the Butler hurler, for thirteen blows Struck ves the big Purdne hitter. He yot two doubles and his third blow would have been good for three bases, but he was called out for failing to touch stoond. Mer er got two of the Butler hits, while Goett, Dledertch and Jones each got one. $20,500 for Fair Racing ST.

AND BILL OUGHT TO KNOW By HEN BY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, April 12.—“ Four rounds will bo enough, nnd a decision won’t be needed for the winner.” So kays Bill Brennan, the big Chicago henry weight, about the Dempsey ~ Carpentier fight. Brennan met Dempsey twice. Blx ronnds the first time and twelve rounds the second. He thinks he onght to know something about the champion. He went to dreamland twice before him. “Carpentier is fast enough to keep awny from Dempsey for about three rounds, but he’ll get it no later than the fourth,” Brennan said here today. “The Frenchman is a wouderfnl boxer, but he's not ragged enough to take the wallops that Dempsey is bound to get over on him. Carpentier is not a lot heavier now than when he was taking a laoing from all the American middleweight*. “Yes. Carpentier can pnnch, bnt I don’t believe he can hit a whole lot harder than I can. In our last fight I hit Dempsey square on the jaw three times with every ounce of strength I bad, and he didn’t go down. I had him groggy in the third round, but he came right back.”

GIANTS AGAIN ON THEIR FEET Hospital List Clear in Time for Flying Start in Big Race. By FRANK GRAHAM, New York Sun Sports Write*. NEW YORK. April 12.—With the lam® and the halt in uniform again and not quite as lame and halting as they were a week ago, the Giants are picking up about where they left off when they ran into their series of mishaps. The Giar.t infield is composed of young, seasoned players and it ought to be the best infield the Giants have had In a number of years. George Kelly at first base is one of the most improved players In the league. Frank Frisch should be the best second baseman in the league. Dave Bancroft removes all worry about short-* stop and at third base Goldie Rapp promises to be a sensation. The outfield will be composed of George Burns in left field, Young In right and either Walker or Brown in • enter. Burns is still the best leftfielder in baseball. Young constantly is getting better, and in either Walker or Brown the Giants have a capable substitute for Benny Kauff, or at least, the Benny Kauff of last year. Both can hit the ball and are wonderful fielders. The pitching staff probably will consist of nine men, a rather bulky staff, but McQraw has always been partial to large staffs. Earl Smith and Frank Snyder will bear the brunt of the catching, with Mike Gonzales and either Gaston or Heuline ti., help out, Eddie Chooses Sky Line to Reach Local Races LOS ANGELES, April 12.—Capt Eddie Riekenbacker, former automobile racing driver and American flying ace in the World War, plans to make an airplane flight from Oakland to Indianapolis to attend the automobile races there May Zb, he announced Monday.
