CLYMER’S HENS T>LAY TRIBE IN SUNDAY SCRAP ‘Derby Day,’ Reinforced by ‘Raving Roger,’ Here With Toledo Boys Tomorrow. INDIANS WIN ANOTHER Plenty of action is promised at Washington Fark Sunday, for tnose two energetic, tire-eating prominents of the American Association, ‘'Derby Day Bill” Corner and ‘'Raring Roger” Bresuahan will be in the city with their Toledo Hens a series with the Indians. The of Clymer and Bresnahan no doubt will cause many volcanic eruptions in the league this season, but despite the snot that these noise twins usually are trying to change the landscape they are popular with the fans around the eircuit nevertheless aud another capacity attendance is expected to be hung up at Washington Park tomorrow to s o the Hens and Hoosiers mix in the series opener. Bill Clymer has changed the Hen linenp somewhat over last season. He has jim Thorpe, famous real Indian athlete, playing in the outfield, and Fred Luderus, former big league slugger, holding down first base. Roy Grimes, one of last year's minor league pnenoms. is stationed at second base, and this young fellow is touted as a wonder. Luderus is a mighty hitter and is sure to give opposing pitchers trouble all season, while Thorpe, the redskin, has some all-around qualities that have made him a good drawing card. The Toledo gang will be here for four days, after which the Hoosiers will leave on their first road jaunt. The Columbus Senators were to c!os their series here this afternoon and the Indians were eager tor another battle. I-ee Bartlett was ready to take his turn on the mound for the Tribesmen and the fans were anxious t>> sc<- what the young fellow would do in his first Association start. The Senators were fighting mad today as a result of the trimmings they suffered Wednesday and yesterday, and they planned to do plenty of damage in i their wind-up game it the Tribe lot. The honors ia the Friday struggle went to the Indians. T t" 5, in a great uphill contest In whirl; the Hendricksmen staged a real-for--ure slagging bee. At one time the Indians w-t- trailing. 5 to; 1, and It looked bad for the home team, but suddenly the local batsmen swung Into action ami started a fireworks that eventually turned the game directly around. Stryker and Sherman were the oppos Ing starting pitchers and In the early stages the latter locked the stronger, but at the finish Stryker was still going while (■kenuan was •<• -upying seat on the BSkch. TANARUS.:. It •. a. s knocked Sherman out in the sixth a id he was followed by Southpn w Martin, who v, as able to do only fair relief work. The Hoosiers got a total of fifteen h ts against eleven for the Senators.
WASHINGTON PARK GOSSIP. First Baseman Burrua of the Senators was injured in tie fourth inning Friday and was for ■■ >1 to retire from the game He wa- knocked unconscious as a result of a collision at first base with Rube Lutzke, and it was si me time liefore he was revived. The collision was unavoidable an I Lutzke also was b adly shaken up. P.urrus wanted to continue In the game, but Manager Rowland insisted that he go t i the clubhouse for a rest. Burrus had hit a single and double and had scored twice before the accident. Ralph Shinners and Boh Kinsella came into their own and were prominent in the hitting. Each got three hits. Kinsella bad a ; perfect day at hat. two passes being issued on his other two times up. Itehg's one hit, a double, came in the pinch and drove in the tying run In the sixth. Covington looked dangerous and Irew two walks. He doubled the first time at bat. The fans made merry when the Indians Ftarted easing up. on the visitors. Buck J#Brzog was wild" as he saw the Hoosiers 0b Buck talked the harder the Indians hit. Shannon was the butting star of the Senators with two doubles and a single. Stryker started out like a whirlwind, but a couple of scratch doubles In the second Inning got him in bad. In the late Innings he braced and the visitors did not score after the fourth frame. Stryker got In on the batfest in real style by poling our three hits out of four times at the plate. E-ddie Sicking dr-w two singles and two walks. Hank Sehreiber was also active, his two hits driving in three runs. Three double plays were made, two by Columbus and one by the Hoosiers. Covington got the Tribe double killing unassisted. Herzog and Pechous played big league defensive bail around tne keystone. Charlie Whttehouse probably •will draw the pitching assignment against the Toledo Kens tomorrow. The game will start at 3 o'clock. Fans were keenly delighted over the success of the Indians in coming up from the rear to win the Friday strnggle. It means that the Hoosiers are hustling and that they refused to be discouraged by handicaps. It's the kind of baseball that brings the spectators back for more. If the weather Is of favorable brand tomorrow the attendance of the opening day game Is expected to be equalled. The Colonels hung another on the Hens at Louisville yesterday in a sensational skirmish. The Browers downed the Saints again, while rain spoiled the fun at Kansas City. Edouard Horemans, Reigian billiard star and challenger of Willie IToppe for Khe world's cue crown, was an interes'e-1 Spectator at the ball game yesterday, lie Hks the guest of Harry Cooler and oewf*Viied a close-up b-x The diamond fame Is new to the Belgian and he said t was the first league contest he ever witnessed.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1921.
CHEVROLET IS BUILDING CARS Will Have Two New Jobs in Speedway Classic, Along ' With 1920 Entries. Louis Chevrolet, expert racing engineer, who designed tbo car that won the race last year in the hands of bis younger brothev, the late Gaston Chevrolet, is building two new cars for the 500-mtlc race to be licld at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 30. The new cars have a number of unique features, according to rumor, but the famous designer will make no statement and about the only real information that has filtered through hi* defensive lines is that the ears are "eight in-row” type of cylinder construction, and that they are already entered In the Indianapolis classic. The names of the drivers have cautiously been withheld. It is also practically assured that several of the ears Chevrolet built last year will again be seen in the race May 30. Chevrolet drove in tile race last year, but it is very doubtful If he or his other racing brother. Arthur, will be seen on the Indianapolis course this year, except to time up the ears for the drivers who will mount them In the long jaunt for glory and gold. The* Chevrolets have been figures in racing for years. Louis lias become noted for h'.s engineering ability. It was his happiest moment last Decoration day when bis youngest brother, Gaston, dashed across tho finish lino in the ear Louis made with It is own hands. Louis was forced to leave the raee long before the end when the steering knuckle of liis ear broke. Ills other brother, Arthur, was out of the race with injuries sustained in a smashup in practice preceding the race. Louis Chevrolet hail seven of his racing creations la the race last year—three Frontenacs and a quarette of Monroes. Only two of the cars finished, (lie winner and Joe Thomas, In eighth place, both being Monroes. Faulty steering knuckles seemed to be the Jinx of Chevrolet’s cars which vent out of the raee. The construction principle of tii curs was all that could he asked and the dopesters are confident that If Chevrolet’s now creations are an improvement over his offerings last year the foreign cars will find some excellent competition in the Frontenacs being built right here in Indianapolis.

If Germany fails on May 1 to meet the reparations demands submitted to her by the allies at the conference of London, France will tell the world that the time words has passed and that the hour has come to strike- and strike hard.
