|Sn BOOSTERS i IUICK TO GIVE TRIBE CREDIT Indians Command Attention by Clean-Cut Victory in Opener at Toledo. CAVET IN GREAT FORM TOLEDO, April 22.—Though somewhat disheartened by the mauling Bill Clymer's Hens received in the grand opening of the local baseball season yesterday, fans here were ready to admit today that Jack Hendricks has got a fast-flying machine carrying the Hoosier colors in the American Association race this year. The Indians not only defeated the home boys yesterday, but they rubbed it in by scoring a's-to-0 shut-out. Speedy work on the paths, timely blows, good fielding, effective pitching and all-around smart baseball brought the big victory to the Tribesmen. Pug Caret, veteran southpaw, who hurled the Indians to a win over Cos in the opener at the Hoosier capital April 13, repeated yesterday' and thereby proved his right to claim the 1921 A. A. opening day hurling honors. The tall lefty flipped 'em up in amazing style before the packed stands and he refused to crack in the face of the terrific rooting turned loose by the Toledo bleacherites. The crowd numbered 13,150 and the Indianapolis opening day attendance easily was surpassed. Fans crowded the outfield posts, making ground rules necessary, but the pleading voices of the throng couldn't arouse Clymer's boys to rally in the face of the puzzlers Cavet was handing out.

INDIANS IN GREAT SPIRITS. The Hendricksmen were a happy party today and despite their lack of quantity pitching they were eager to enter the second of the series and extend themselves in an effort to make it two straight lr. the Hens’ back yard. Sterling Stryker was on deck to hurl for the Hoosiers this afternoon, and though he has had but two days’ rest he felt ready to deliver ala Cavet. There was a possibility that the game today would not be played because of wet grounds. Last night and early this morning the weather balked again and cut loose with a wintry brand of drizzle. Manager Hendricks was anxiously awaiting news from his bosses today regarding their efforts to obtain pitching aid. President Smith Sr. and Vice President Smith Jr. are visiting the big league camps with their bank rolls handy and Hendricks is hopeful that at least one twirler will be obtained. In addition to pitching in puzzling style yesterday, Mr. Tiller Pug Cavet knocked the Hen fans out of their seats by driving in three runs. On one occasion he sent two mates over with a sharp single to right and in the eighth he manipulated the squeeze play to perfection, scoring Sicking. Ra'ttery Mate Di<k Gossett also was prominent in the events. He located his batting eye *T?r two safeties, one a double. Tex Covington did not land a safety, but he scored a mate with a sacrifice fly In the pinch and on two other occasions the Toledo pitcher issued him free transportation rather than take a chance on his big bludgeon. Bob Klnsella, who wears a cap Jockey style, demonstrated that he knows something about speed by beating out two infield hits. His other hit was for two sacks, and he also stole a base. King Brady, who defeated the Indians last Monday, was on the mound again yesterday and was touched up ruther lively, lie threatened with his bat, however, and got a triple. The Hens wore held hitless until the sixth, when Brady, first up in that frame, got his triple. He was left on third, however, for Cavet tightened Instantly and good support got him out of the hole. The Hens tried hard for a last-lnnlng rally. Thorpe and Luderus. the first two men np, singled, but the Indians Immediately braeed their defense. Cavet struck out Grimes and forced the following two Hens to remain away from first base. Bill Clyraer was roaring throughout , the game, but he couldn't extract a rally out of his athletes. Rube Lutzke was back at the third base station for the Indians. H<- played great defensive ball, but couldn't solve Brady's shoots. Ralph Shinners was not on base enough to demonstrate bis speed. He got only one hit, but it was a long one and good for three sacks. Toledo opening day attendance figures are high in the association to date. There are three openers left, however, at <Dlumbus. Minneapolis aud St. Paul. Toledo boosters grabbed a big edge over the other cities by eliminating all passes for the day.

GOTHAM CORNERS HOMER MARKET

BT HENRY FARRELL, United Press Spoirte Editor, NEW YORK, April 22.—New York looks to be out to corner the home run market of the major leagues. With Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Frank Baker and George Kelly In Manhattan clothing, the big town has the heaviest artillery of the big show. Elmer Smith of the champion Cleveland Indians, Walker of the Athletics and the great Sisler are the only ones who seem to have a chance to get the spotlight off Gotham's prides. Babe Ruth, of course, is the game's "greatest of all times.'' He bas three already to his credit, and is running several weeks ahead of his 1920 record. He may pass the high mark of firt.v-four. In Bobby Meusel, long California boy, the Yankees have the "next Babe Ruth,” Manager Huggins believes. Meusel's two bomers this season have been terrific clouts over the fence. Last

Gibbons won nine of the ten rounds with Wiggins and one was even. After the first round. In which the honors were divided, Gibbons seemed to grow stronger, and he carried the fight to the- Indianapolis boy for a decisive margin. He danced inside Wiggins’ defense repeatedly, and landed a number of clean blows, which began to tell on the Hoosier as the tight progressed. Wiggins received a cut over his eye in the seventh, and from then on the spot was a target for his opponent. After the tight. Wiggins and his manager, Jack Druley, were shaken considerably when the automobile In which they were going to St. Paul to catch a train skidded into a street cur. SCHOBER SEEKS MAT BOUT.

season he made eleven four-base clouts and he played Irregularly. It would be interesting to see Meusel and Ruth fight It out for a record. Frank Baker used to be the home run king of the majors. He Is back in the game now, but it is doubtful If he will be able to keep up his old clip. George Kelly, the skyscraper firstbaseman of the Giants, is another established clouter. He has a terrific drive and is about the most dangerous batter in the National League. He stands awkwardly at the bat, but he gets everything into his swing.' Walter Pipp. firstbaseman of the Yanks, also Is a home runner of ability. He got eleven last year and looks to be in for a much better season this year. George Sisler. in winning the American League butting championship last season, drew attention to his consistency, most of the fans losing sight of the fact that he drove out nineteen nomers.

In the seventh, with Fewster on second, he hit a towering fly back of first which the wind carried away from Itrazlll for a double, Fewster scoring. Then came his homer In the ninth, scoring Fewster again. All of hi* hits were made off Moore. In the field Bubo made four putouts and one assist.

C. Willinms, shortstop, obtained from the Mobile Southern Colored League team, has been hitting tbe bail hard in the work-outs, and as his fielding Is superb he surely will make the A B. C.s a mainstay if he continues the good work with the bat Holloway, obtained from San Antonio, will be seen at second base Sunday and fans are eager to watch him perform.

Derby Horses Turn in Speedy Time in Trials Over Track LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 22.—A number of the lesser lights among the candidates for the Kentucky Derby May 7 are holding sway at Churchill Downs and they are turning in a few fast wotUouts. The best have been, those of Firebrand, which ran one and one-etghtb miles in 1:50, and then Bolt and Gangway which covered the same distance in 1:58 3-5. The first named, which is owned by J. S.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea for tu officers of the various leagues In the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association to see that the sports department of The Times gets a schedule of their respective leagues. Tbe Bankers League is the only one that has been heard from. The amateur frolic at Tomlinson Hall last night was Just a few notches above the success line. A whole mob of amateurs, amateur boosters and “amateurettes' 5 turned out for the doings, and they had a great time, besides putting the association on a much better financial footing. Now that the frolic Is off the books, the next big thing to figure on is the opening day procession. The Sandlotters are whipping their rorces together' for this event and they are bound and determined to 6tep out in big league style. They even have a feeling that they can get over bigger than the Indians did on their opening day.. That’s taking in a lot of territory, but If the organizations represented In the association get behind their clubs the thing should amount to a w hole lot. President Harris of the association will call a meeting next week to arrange final plans for the opening celebration. The Indianapolis Merits will be the attraction at Bedford Sunday, when they open the sc-ason at that town. There has long been a keen spirit of rivalry between tha Merits and the Bedford hall tossers and their scraps always turn out to be warm affairs.

These players are among the best semi-pro ball tossers in the State and they should at least make It interesting for the Bedford athletes, who will have Billy Cramer and Bill Rariden, former leaguers, in harness. State clubs desiring to book the Merits should address William Bell, 2117 South' New Jersey street. The Linton Giants will open their home season with the Dugger nine Sunday. Linton has anew park and can take care of a real crowd. Leading semipro teams desiring to play at Linton should address Tom Butts, Linton, Ind.

RUTH RUNNING AHEAD OF 1920 HIT SCHEDULE Early Start Offers Babe Chance to Pass 54 Mark, Set Last Season. OBTAINING MORE HITS BY JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK. April 22.—The Battering Babe is on his w T ay. Ruth, king of home run knockers, has registered his third circuit soak of ’tha season and appears to be well started toward anew home run record. The bambino is nearly two weeks ahead of his 1920 “schedule.” Last year he did not hit a home run until May day, when he got his first four-ply knock at the Polo Grounds. His second homer was made the next day off Jones and then he lost his batting eye for more than a week. On May 11 of last year Ruth hit two homers, his third and fourth. Yesterday, at Philadelphia, he batted out his third homer for this season and during the afternoon he got four hits in four trips to the plate, two being doubles. The manner in which Ruth is hitting indicates that he is on edge and ready to get away to anew record. The excess weight he is carrying around —though he denies this himself—is not doing him any harm. \ When warm weather seta in for good Ruth will lose his surplus poundage and will be a better fielder, base-runner and hitter. For liis weight and inches, Ruth is a mighty fast young man on his feet, but in tbe opinion of a majority of the critics Miller Huggins is making a mistake in playing him In left field. The sun garden is the toughest assignment in the outfield and at the Polo Grounds, at least, Ruth has not shown like a finished left-fielder. Perhaps he will Improve with a little more experience.
