If the weather man will perform lue stunt of scratching the rain stuff off the program over the week-end, the a*mateur and semi-pro ball tossexs of the city will do a lot of actin’ up. Tomorrow marks the official opening of the amateur Beason In Indianapolis. It's going to be a great little opening, all right, and Indications point to a big season for the association sundlotters. Just about every diamond In the city win be a scene of battle between championship seekers tomorrow afternoon, and a slant at some of the club rosters gives the impression that the competition in every one of the eight leagues 'n the city is going to be of the furnace variety from the word go. The annual amateur parade will precede the opening of the season tomorrow afternoon. There should be something better than 700 ball tossers In the procession. There will he music galore, and with a prize up for the outfit making the best impression, some snappy combinations should be seen In the line-up.

It is unfortunate that this loop fell through, because the field for building strong teams was perhaps larger here than in any other division. and there seemed to be Just a bit mjrp pep among the auto builders than in any of the other circuits. Another dose that doesn’t go well is the loss of the all-star Premier club. It is doubtful if we will have another one that good for a few seasons. There are scads of good players, but it is hard to get ’em all on one club. Butters Herman slugging catcher with the G. & .1 club last year.

The fierce gang from the Blue Grass State is due to open a four-game series with the Indians at Washington park tomorrow and there ure will be something doing when the old rivals hook up. Before the season opened the Louisville boys were claiming the pennant by July 4. They were all swelled uo over their prospects and no one had a look-lu when they were talking of their great Strength. However, the road has been a 1 ttle rocky and now the Colonels are convinced that they will have to tight for jtvhat they get. , Colonel followers have ridiculed the Indians and It is needless to say that the said Indians Intend to 6wing some mean stuff starting tomorrow. The Boosters would rather defeat the Blue Urasstrs than eat. “Cap” Neal, general manager of the Colonels, has been saying plenty of harsh things about Jack Hendricks and his ball club. The tall Kentuckian Is accusing Hendricks of trying' to steal Pitcher Tommy Long for the Cincinnati Reds. Hendricks made only one statement concerning Long and that was that Tommy was a good pitcher. Immediately Neal started to blow bubbles and he loudly shouted that Jack was a paid scout of the Reds and was tampering with Long. Hendricks is not a paid scout and is not even under obligations to the lieds. However, it is nothing strange for Louisville to be accusing somebody of something. Whenever the Colonels manage to win a game or two their chests immediately begin to swell and then when they hit the rocks they alibi by yelping about someone tampering with their stars. But that’s Louisville every time. Members of the Indians were a sad lot yesterday when rain prevented the exhibition game with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The players were to have been donated the Indians' share of the gate receipts aad the were looking forward to the purchase of plenty of summer duds. Owner Smith was ready to make good on his generous promise, but Old Man Rain couldn't stay away and the fun was spoiled. With fair weather prevailing a crowd numbering about 2,500 probably would have attended. Pitcher Paul Jones, he of the lame arm, will be started In one of the Louls-

The pitching of Joe Bush and Elmer | Meyers, of the Red Sox, was too strong I for the Athletics, though Frank Walker | contributed a home run to Philadelphia’s i total.

They have teen firmly grounded in tournament exlerlence and with their familiarity with, he course and experience in driving nto high seacoast winds, they will be nighty hard to beat.
