Washington Park News and Notes

Forced to remain idle over Sunday because of the post-season winter that visited Hoosierdom, the Toledo Hens and Indians were ready to get out and hustle this afternoon. Bill Clymer brought hia athletes up from Louisville Saturday night and the postponement yesterday caused keen disappointment in local baseball circles. The great army of Sunday fans has been denied entertainment two consecutive Sundays now. and the Washington Park strong box has suffered accordingly. Sunday postponements are a total financial loss because it Is impossible to make them up like the week day games. However, the Hoosiers and Hens tire straining at the bit aud the contests this afternoon, tomorrow and on Wednesday are expected to draw enthusiastic crowds. Fans who witnessed the Indians in their great uphill victory ovex the Columbus Senators Saturday are ready to believe the Hendrieksmen are capable of overcomiug auv handicap. At one time in that battle the visitors were leading, 6 to 0, but when Bob Klnsella made a sensational catch for the game-endiug out in the ninth the Tribesmen were holding the lead, 8 to 7. Charlie Whitehouse got a disastrous start and the Senators pronited in a big way until Lee Bartlett took up the pitching in the seventh. Bartlett entered the fray with two men on and none out, but he quickly anuffed out Columbus’ hopes and not a visitor reached first base thereafter. Columbus had scored three markers iu the second, three In the third and one in the fifth. Iu the Indians’ half of the third the fans saw so much to keep them rootiug tuat they were nearly exnausted. Five runs were sent over by the Tribe iu that round and then in the seventh frame another fierce rally on the part of the Hoosiers brought in three more runs aud clinched the honors. The Saturday game was the third game In which the Indians were forced to come up from behind to win and it ‘was believed that probable 12.000 fans would have turned out Sunday if baseball weathi er hud prevailed. Pug Cavet was slated to reappear on the mound in this afternoon's game. Brady was the probable Toledo pitching choice. Indian Jim Thorpe, A! Wiekland, Fred I.uderus, Paddy Bauman and Claude Derrick are among the well known athletes here wi*h the Hens. The Toledo team also has Roy Grimes, minor league T henorn, playing second base, but the Tribe fans are of the opinion that the said Grimes will have to step some to show Eddie Sicking any pointers. Dong Baird broke info the game at third base Saturday and his fielding, hitting and base running contributed toward the Tribe victory. Doug Is still suffering from a spiked knee, but he gamely took his post when Lutxke failed ; to recover from the shaking up he got l in the collision with Burma Friday. | Lutzko got an injured leg out of the accldeut.

The hurling situation is becoming serious, however, because Jones and Whitehouse are ailing, a condition that leaves it up to Cavet, Stryker and Bartlett to carry the burden. Scout Dick Klnsella of the New York Giants, the father of Outfielder Bob Kinsella of the Indians, was in the city yesterday. lie came to see his son play ball and was deeply disappointed when the weather prevented a game. He assured Owner Smith that he believed that John McGraw would sand the Hoosiers a good pitcher shortly. Outfielder Duke Reilley has caught on with Mike Kelley's Saints. He was given his unconditional release by the local club aud thus was enabled to make his own deal. If Reilley will forget his imaginary troubles he'll make a strong bid for a Job with the Apostles. Before leaving the city Reilley expressed the opinion that Louisville. St. Paul aud Indianapolis would be fighting It out for the pennant In mid-season. Indications point to Shinners and Baird being the base running stars of the Indians. Eddie /.willing, former Indian, pot his second home run for the Blues at Kansas City yesterday.

Mapes, a member of the ! board of stewards of the Intercollegeiate Rowing Association, made this plain today. “It is quite likely that as many us eight crews will pull to the line in the eight-oarded varsity event,” he said, "although insofar as I have heard there is some doubt about several entries. California is expected, as is Wisconsin, and now that the bars which might have kept the Navy out have been swept aside, it is practically certain that the middies will row at Poughkeepsie. “There Is no chance of the date of the regatta being changed, however, and as wo have heard nothing from Oxford or Cambridge, we are not expecting them to enter. If the date of the event —June 22 —should be changed, it would interfere seriously with examinations at Cornell and several other universities. “if California and Wisconsin enter and Massachusetts Tech sends a crew, there may be eight starters, with Cornell, Columbia. Penn, Syracuse und the Navy Included.” Hold-outs Must Do Some Explaining if They Want to Play CHICAGO, April 18. —Players on the reserve lists of major or minor league teams who fail to report to their respective clubs within ten days after the opening of the season will lie placed on the Ineligible list, it was decided at a meeting here of the major and minor league advisory committee.

LEGION SHOULD CARRY ON WORK OF GRAND ARM^T Beveridge Tells Winchester Men of Duties Ahead of Them. FACTIONISM DENOUNCED WINCHESTER, Ind., April 1&—In an address to the members of the American Legion here last night, Albert J. Beveridge, former United States Senator, told the young veterans that It is their responsibility to carry' on the work which was upheld for so many years by the G. A. R. “It Is an Inspiring fact,” he said, “that from the first the flag never has fallen from tho hands of American soldiers who saw service In the field. Before the vetr. erans of any war had gone to their last' bivouac, the veterans of another took their places. And now. true to the destiny that guides America, as the herola remnant of the Grand Army of the Republic moves to Its appointed place on ‘fame’s eternal camping ground,’ another host of young American fighting men are h-re to take the places and uphold the principles of the men who saved the Nation. “The men of the American Legion have a responsibility to carry and a duty to perform, the seriousness of which Is unsurpassed in the history ol the republio or of the world. STRONG LEADERS ARE NEEDED. “Statesmanship of the highest orde must direct their councils and determine their policy. Prodigious efforts will ba made—have been made, are being made—to swerve them from exclusive devotion to America ; they must—they will—resist these efforts and remain steadfast champions of genuine Americanism, pure and undefiled. “They must—they will—see that their leaders are strong, calm, steady, wise, far-seeing men of tho type of Washington and Marshall and Lincoln—men who cannot be influenced by designing flatterers, seduced by foreign propaganda, swept off their feet by manufactured emotion—men of unwavering souls wholly consecrated to American principles and traditions and immovably determined upon pure, unmixed, unadulterated and exclusive service of American Interests, American rights and American honor. “Just as the population of our country Is unlike that of any other, so the membership. of the American Legion Is unlike that of any other army, veterans of any other country. The racial blood of our people is as varied as the foreign countries from which it came; the same is true of tha racial elements of our American soldiers who fought Germany. “Thereforo Just as American solidarity —the solidarity of our own citizens here at home. —Is America's peculiar and vital problem, (a problem that confronts no other nation on earth) so the same American solidarity of its members is the peculiar and vital problem of the American Legion, (a problem that confronts no other body of veteran* on, earth). MUST ALLOW NO DIVISIONS. “Just as racial divisions among on* citizens will, in ths end, disintegrate and ruin our Nation, so racial divisions In the legion will disintegrate and ruin It; and no blacker catastrophe could befall the United States than the rending asunder. Into mutually hostile camps, of this wonderful body of young Americans whose service of the Repjblic has crowned them all -with everlasting glory and endowed them. If united, with vast and beneficent Influence. “It is. then, a matter of plain common sense, of sheer logic, that Just as anything that tends to unite the racial element* of American citizenship Into one great, harmonious people, is good for America, so anything that tends to unite the racial elements of the membership of the legion Into one great, harmonious army of patriotism is good for the legion. “By the same token, Just as anything that tends to separate into mutually antagonistic groups inspired by hatred of one another, the racial elements of American citizenship, is bad for America, so anything that tends to separate tho racial elements of the membership of the legion into antagonistic groups, Inspired by hatred of one another, Is bad for the legion. "The basic policy of tha legion, therefore, Is exactly the same as tho baslo policy of the Republic Itself. Unity, har-'t mony. common purposes, common Interests —these are the watchwords of our salvation. And these watchwords can bo observed and made all-powerful for good, only in one big, simple patriotic way. That way Is exclusive affection for and service of America, unweakened and unpoisoned by attachment to or favoritism for any other country whatever. Washington's words are truer today than ever. 'Faith of our fathers, glorious faith, wo will be true to thee till death.’ ”
