COLONEL FANS TURN OUT FOR TRIBE SERIES Louisville Bugs Get First 1921 Glimpse of Rival Hoosiers in Action. BIG CROWDS EXPECTED LOriSVILLK, May 4.—Colonel fan a were to get their first 1921 glimpse of the Indians this afternoon and. due to the keen rivalry that exist* between the clubs, a large crowd was exported to turn out for the series opener. The tootin’ Colonel rooters were ready to cut loose with plenty of steam today, but the Tribe players were not worrying the least over the excitement their appearance here created and they expectd to put the skids under the Men o’ McCarthy. Jack Hendricks announced that I.ee Bartlett probably would start on the mound and the Hoosler athletes were anxious to put a winner over for the youngster. On the other hand the Colonels were making all kinds of threats and boldly annonnced that they mean to make a sweep of the series. With both teams full of fight a battling series is looked for. The Colonel pitching staff is rated stronger than the Tribe's, but Hendricks is not In such a bad way because he now has Johnny Enzmann. The fame of the Hoosler speed reached hers ahead of the Invaders and local fandom Is eager to slie up Jack Hendricks’ 1921 hopefuls. Local critics admit the Indians have a team this year that is dangerous at all times and, though reluctant to declare the Hoosiers are fast, they predict that it will be a difficult matter to keep the Tribe down this year. The series here consists of games today. Thursday. Friday and Sunday, after which the Hoosiers will make a swing of the western half of the circuit.

MORAN SCARED THEM STIFF. New York. May 4. Silent Charier Tlarrer, after reading the returns of the Moran-Berkett fight, said: ‘•Moran lleked that fellow with h s smile. Beckett probably hit that redheaded lion on the chin with everything behind It and instead of seeing Moran fall, watched him smile. It took the h*art out of the fellow." It seems now that Moran not only took the heart out of Beckett, but out o' every otter big fellow in Europe. A writer in the London Globe has this to day: “ ‘Biff, hang. hlft. and it would be all over,' said Francois Deseampa when visualizing 'Carpentier's possible meeting with Frank Moran on the night the American knocked Beckett out in two rounds. "He was talking about what Georgej would do to Frank. “Curtously enough, though, Carpentier was challenged there and then by Moran's manager, and Major Wilson at one* offered to put up a handsome purse and sta£% the fight. The Frenchman refused to sign to meet Moran. “Just think. Here is a man who believes he can walk up to another and beat him with three punches, and is offered a guarantee of $75,000 for doing It; yet he hangs back! “If one regards sport as an affair of nationalities, nobodv can accuse me of prejudice, for both boxers concerned are foreigners. I look on it from the common sense standpoint, and, regarding the fact* from all angles, come to the conclusion that Carpentier fears Moran would beat biin. “I can say that, when negotiations for the match were first opened liescamps demanded a guarantee of SIOO,OOO to cover Carpentier from possible lops in the event of Moran defeating him before he coull meet Dempsey. As the cruiser-weight champion would not look at a purse which fell short of his desire, the offor was Increased to his own figure. "I know the -etylee, capabilities and weaknesses of both boxers intimately, but refrained from writing of those things before because I thought it might frighten the French champion out of a match which all sporting England desires. "From the trend of events it would appear that Carpentier is equally wise, and so I need keep silent no longer. It la my fixed opinion that Moran would not tafce more than six. or at most eight rounds to knock him out.” DREAMLAND RINK IN FRISCO PASSES. Dreamland Rink.

Oh, Australia, where are your Billy Murphys, Young Grlffos, Jacksous. Darcys. Fitzsimmonses, Dawsons and Slavins? PETER MAHER HOLD* RECORD. In speaking of hard hitters and interesting fighters, fans usually forget the Irish whirlwind, Peter Maher. Was there ever a more interesting fighter? Ho generally either knocked his man out or was forced to kiss the canvas himself. Get hold of Peter's record some time and give it the north and south. There are more “K. O.a” and “K. O. bys” on it than on that of any • other fighter in the ring. Just think of this! We lamped the record book last night and here's what it showed us : * Peter Maher engaged in seventy-one fights. THIRTY-SEVEN OF THESE HE WON WITH A KNOCKOUT. in TWELVE OF THEM HE WAS KNOCKED OUT HIMSELF. Can you beat that? If you can, trot the bloke out. CANADA CAL'S CHIRPS.

Wabash Students Stage Celebration Over Defeat of De Pauw on Diamond CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., May 4. Wabash student* today celebrated the baseball victory over De Pauw yesterday by staging a “campus carnival" and a parade through the city streets. The score of the game was 9 to 0 and was so decisive that the Scarlet rooters couldn't be kept quiet today and they yelled themselves hoarse during the demonstration. One student, Ray Sparks of Bloomfield, became so excited that he crashed into a tree while participating in the campus “exercises” and a painful gash was cut .in his head. It was jme of the biggest celebrations ever held here following an athletic victory. A street parade was held previous to the game yesterday and despite the fact that wintry weather prevailed the turnout was a loeal record breaker. About 2,000 fans risked the frigid atmosphere to attend the contest. Three more games are to be played with De Pauw this season. Stats Normal will be here for a contest with Wabash Friday.

It is because “it takes real driving that Ford prefers the Indianapolis course to all others. Ho has been rehearsing ' the course with his car for the past few i days, being the second driver to hit the bricks this season. ; Chairman A. 11. Adams of the citizens speedway lap prize fund for the 600-mile race May 30 reports encouraging news from the twenty workers who are completing the canvass of those who were identified with last year's fund, and the solicitation of some who did not get on the list last year when a number of subscriptions had to be returned because the fund was oversubscribed. Thursday noon a meeting of the whole committee will be held at the Chamber of Commerce, when reports of the weekA work will be turned In and plans for the filial round-up made. Among the interesting pledges received in the last few days was one from the Indianapolis Engraving Company, which was not on the list last year. Ibis was a voluntary subscription, sent in to Chairman Adams before one of the regular committeemen had time to make a call. Another subscriber, not on the list last year, is ghe Sun Oil Company, a Pennsylvania organization, which sent in its check when first told of the lap tuna bv George Wideley. The Em Roe Sporting Goods Company is another new contributor In the first 100. The very first pledge received by the committee came from the Stutz Motor Car Company. This was not shown on the list published a few days ago, which was arranged In alphabetical order.

Uncle Sam will be represented In the golf championships, starting May 23, by his most impressive array, but the Americans will have a difficult time to come back with a championship. The draw which bunched many of the Americans in the last section Is unfavorable, as It will force them to battle each other In the closing rounds. Climatic conditions will also handicap the Americans, as Evans knows from two previous <*xperien.‘s. “We have a *ood chance to win. but none of us ig overconfident," Evans said before sailing.

By .JACK VEIOCK, International New* Hport* Editor. NEW YORK, May 4—Though major league teams started the fourth week of their pennant races today, fandom must wait a while longer for a definite line on where the balance of power lies in the rival circuits. So far the schedules have been taken up by sectional series. These game* have developed a number of surprises and have shown eastern and western groups In both leagues to be pretty well balanced so far as first division prospects are concerned. The complexion of the percentage tables doubtlessly will undergo some changes by the time the first big intersectional series are concluded. These series will start next Tuesday, May 10, with eastern American and vvestrn National League teams hitting the road for long tours through the rival halves of their circuits. The showing of Washington and Detroit in tha American league has been one of the features of the season so far, while the comparative poor showing of the Yankees and the lnabilty of the St. Louis Browns to get started haa attracted no little comment Pittsburgh, Brooklyn and New York have succeeded In living up to the expectations of National League partisans, the Pirates and Dodgers, especially so. In contrast, the Cubs have been playing much better ball than was expected of them, while the St. Louis Cardinals hare been a big disappointment to Mount City fans.
