TRIBE ON ROAD AFTER CLOSING WITH CLYMERS Game at Park Today Last Here Until Colonels Come for Series. STRYKER HALTS HENS Following the series wind-up game with the Toledo Fleas tills afternoon, the Indians are to take the road, playing in both Toledo and Columbus before returning to Washington Park. The Clymerites have their home opening tomorrow and newspaper men here with the team stated today that Toledo boosters have been working overtime la an effort to top the Indianapolis opening day attendance figures. The Boosters will provide the opposition in the Maumee city tomorrow aud they are prepared to make a desperate effort to waiiop the Hens in their own yard. Four games will be played at Toledo, four at Columbus and then on April SO the Tribesmen will hop back to Washington Park to take on the racing Colonels In a series. In the closing contest of the Hen series this afternoon Charlie Whltehouse was booked to trot out his southpaw slants. He made a bad start last week In one of the Columbus battles, but he has had a good rest and believed he would be able to show some of his last year’s fenn today. Baird and Lutzke were still numbered among the cripples today and Kehg was to be seen at third base again, with either Morrison or Van Lkvke in left field. TOLEDO HELD TO FOLK HITS. It was a large afternoon for Pitcher Sterling Stryker yesterday. The big fellow was released by Toledo last season and yesterday was the first chance he htd to show that Roger Bresnahan had made a mistake. Roger witnessed the game from a box and he was a greatly surprised individual when Stryker kept turning back his heavy hitters. The Tribe's big right hander worked a careful game and as a res’,lit only four hits were made off his delivery. The score was 4 to 1 in the Tribe s favor and but for an infield error the Hens would have been blanked. Wright was on the monad for Toledo and he was no easy proposition for the Indians to solve. They managed to get a run over in the third, but it was of the gift variety, kicking reached first ou Bauman's low throw, stole second and Gossett was hit by a pitched ball. Stry ker bunted and Pitcher Wright messed it up, throwing wild to first, after fumbling the ball. The wild heave permitted Sicking to score from second un i Gossett reached third. The situation looked good for more markers, but Sbinnera, Kiuseila and Itebg all failed, proving that Wright was a hard nut to crack. When the sixth Inning arrived and Wright wa still hurling air tight ball. Manager Hendricks ordered a change of tactics on the attack. Shinners started the inning and he placed a perfect bunt. He followed this by making a perfect steal of second and then w hen Pitcher Weight messed up Klnsella's sacrifice Wmt. Raiph sprinted home. Kins-lia . Cached second w hile the llen w are recovering the bali and scored later when Gene -Morrison delivered a timely double to left center. The Indians made their total four in the eighth when Gossett made the circuit on his hit. Grime's poor throw and Sbinners’ scorching triple o left. It was in the eighth that the Hens perk<sl up and threatened to stage a rally. I.ober batted for Laabs and doubled. Clarke batted for Wright and was tossed out by Rebg. HiU roiled to Sicking, who fumbled, .allowing I.ober to score. Bauforced Ilill and Wlckland singled, but Sicking took cure of Thorpe’s effort for the third out. In the ninth it was one, two. three for the liens, with Stryker apparently ns streug as when he started.

WASHINGTON PARK GOSSIP. If. Manager Hendricks barked at the umpires In Biil clyiner style he would be under suspension most of the season. Derby Day gave 1 tups Connolly a severe razzing on u number of occasions and sot away with it. Bill usually is rather ard on umpires, but he extended himself yesterday and gave Connolly a panning than could be heard ail over the stands. Two more stolen bases for the Indians yesterday. Speed counts and It was speed on getting down to first base on bunts that upset Pitcher Wright Dick Gossett went down for the count when be was hit by a pitched ball. The pellet struck him in the throat. The Tribe infleid added two more double pluys to its record. The Hens got a douide killing when Kinsella was headed off getting back to first on Rehg a liner to Thorpe in the opening Inning. Stryker aided in the defensive work by taking care of four assists and two putouta. The Hens got tbeir first bingie in the third. They then went until the seventh before getting a second hit. Walter Rehg filled in at third handily. •Tim Thorpe robbed Morrison of a bit in the eighth by making a sensational sprint and spectacular catch of Gene's drive near the left field line The Colonels grabbed another over the Senators yesterday, i.ong pitched his second two-hit game of the season. Kansas City rallied In the eighth and defeated the Saints. Brannon’s hitting featured. lie Is the Blues’ young first baseman. The Millers and Brewers were held idle by wet grounds. The Millers have piayed but oue game and the Brewers two. Ollie O’Mara. former Tribe third baseman, who Is now on baseball s Ineligible list, was a visitor at Washington Park today. He is en route to Oil City, Pa , to resume action with the outlaws. Ollie jumped the Indians last spring after Owner Smith had met his own terms ami when organized baseball decided to halt the Jumpers OMara was included in the list of athletes barred for five years. The Indians were getting ready to trade Ollie to the Boston lied Sox at the time he deserted and as a result O’.Vlara lost a chance to return to tlio big leagues. Ollie has made every effort to get the ban lifted, but Judge I.audls can not see it. Ore season of the outlaw game was enough. Ollie said today. When he left the Indians he was batting around the .400 mark and was rated the best third sacker in the league. President William C. Smith of the Indians planned to board a rattler for New York late this afternoon. He is going to confer with John McGraw regarding the pitcher promised u> Indianapolis The Tribe boss is taking a bank roll with him and will be ready to offer any reasonable price for a pitcher who can make the American Association grade. William C. Smith, Jr., rice president of the Indians, will leave for Cleveland tonight to see Tris Speaker, manager of the world’s champions. In an effort to pry Jess Petty or some other twirler loose from that club. It Is said that Speaker is willing to dispose of Nelson Pott, a Cincinnati rookie with the champs but the Hoosier prefers to get Petty back. In the event that Speaker refuses'to give up Petty, Vice President Smith will look Into Pott's record and It may be that the Indians will take a chance on him. When the Cleveland team was here for its exhibition game sport writers with the champs said Pott appeared to be uncertain as a pitcher but that he had showed food hitting ability. At any rate, with mirh, Sr., in New York and Smith, Sr., In Cleveland the outlook la promising for the Indians to I&nd a couple of new twirlers. GYMNASTIC SHOW. The South Side Turners will stage their annual gymnastic exhibition at the Turner hall Saturday evening, April 23. All of the various classes will participate. Including children and adults.

These figures indicate one reason why the demand Tor petroleum products was so insistent in this territory. The farmer had to conserve his time, and the automobile was the only solution for this problem. Another reason was the increase of automotive machinery on the farm, for these machines were the deciding factor which insured the phenomenal crops harvested during 1920. The efficiency of this motor driven equipment was due in a large measure to the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) system of distribution, which assured the farmer that his needs would be supplied and his time conserved. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an essential economic factor in the national life. It contributes a definite quota of imperative service to society. It is especially oiganized to render this service. It operates in an environment of the most intense competition; it survives because it is efficient. Standard Oil Company ( MndianaJ 910 So.

ELLINGBOE IS FIRST ON OVAL Sends Frontenac Around Speedway Course in Initial Spin for 500-Mile Classic. The first rraok of a racing motor being tuned for the 500-mile classic at the Indianapolis Motor Spe'dway Monday, May 30, was to be heard today when Jules Kllingboe planned to roll his Frontenac speedster out on tho bricks. Ellingboe arrived in Indianapolis, filed entry for the race yesterday, and today planned to wheel his car out on the oval for the first practice spin of the 1021 season here. Ellingboe’s car is one that Lonls Chevrolet built for the races last year. It is an exact duplicate of the Monroe car that the late Gaston Chevrolet drove to victory, and the “earliest driver” thinks he can get a lot of speed out of it this year. Eillnghoe wiU be new to the majority of fans at the coming race, but he is by no means a youngster in tho racing game. He has won his spurs on the dirt tracks and carries a long list of victories scored In some of the leading dirt track races of the country. He has appeared at the State fair grounds several times in dust eating spins, and lias shown Indianapolis speed fans that he possesses the nerve and ability of a real driver. Ellingboe was entered In the Speedway classic last year, but the car he was having built for the grind was not finished in time and he was forced to withdraw his entry. It is thought that the other entrants In this year’s race will follow the example set by Ellingboe In reporting early, and the big track should be swarming with tho speed chariots before many more days.
