ROAD GOSSIP OF THE INDIANS

ST. PAUL, May 10.—It was a ease of “Lo, the poor Indians,” today when they unpacked their suit rolls and bat bags out at Lexington Park for their first meeting with the champion Saints this season. The reason for the “poor Indian” stuff is explained by the fact that the team is well shot physically. Tex Covington Is crippled and unable to play, Pug Cavet is nursing a sore arm and Whitehouso has a fractured finger on his gloved hand. It Is a precarious condition to be in when forced to battle the champions and it seemt that luck will have to be heavily in the Hoosiers’ fiavor If they escape this series without receiving a set-back. At any rate the Indians were to face the heavy-hitting Saints this afternoon, and it looked like a large day for Mr. Alexander Duke Reilley, former wellknown Tribesman, who is holding down a warm spot on the St. Paul bench. The Duke is a great believer in the "get even” stuff and he had his Buffalo smile all oiled up today in anticipation of seeing his new team take a whack at the Hendricksmen. The Saints have been going big guns recently and they are predicting all kinds of dire things for who ever dares to cross their path. They have been romping through a winning streak ana apparently are headed for the top o’ the heap, unless the Indians can throw an obstacle in their path. Mike Kelley's mainstay batsmen have found their hitting eyes and only high-class pitching will stop them now. Bartlett or Stryker was to get a chance at the Champs this afternoon. Harry Weaver, recently obtained from the Chicago Cubs, is with the Indians and will be ready to take his turn in short order. He is eager to make good in the American Association and doubtless means to work overtime in an effort to get in shape.

ROCKNE GUEST AT BIG PARTY | Notre Dame Athletic Head Tells Alumni of Big Season Ahead. , Enthusiasm similar to that which ic worked np after a football victory o’er Army was shown by members of the 'ndiauapolis Notre Dame at their banquet in honor of Knute K. Rockne, manufacturer of championship grid elevens, at the Independent Athletic Club last night. . .. As Itockne himself expressed it. the partv had all the earmarks of a "midseason” affair, and he was prepared to go back to school with the news for the students that they can depend on Indi- ; anapolis for support to the very las' ! ditch. Nothing, he said, has given him i more of a thrill than the demonstration last night, and he assured those present that they will be repaid this year if it is in hia power and the power of his ath- | letes bv an unbroken string of victories through what is probably the hardest schedule ever undertaken by a football machine. ELEVEN GAMES ON N. D. CARD. The Blue and Gold gridiron athletes face a card of eleven games for the coming season, and among the combinations they must tackle are Army, Rutgers, Carlisle Indians, Indiana. DePauw, Furdue, Northwestern and Rutgers. They play Army, Rutgers and Carlisle within a period of eight days, meeting the Army on Saturday, Rutgers on Tuesday and Carlisle on the following Saturday. Regarding his plans and prospects for next fall, Kockno Is as deep t! the sea. He says the card Is a hard one and admits that it Is going to take some hustling to pull through it, but after that ha flashes the "Notre Dame is ready" signal, and lets his listeners figure the rest for themselves. The only thing Rockne said about ais problems for next fall was. "Our line will be much better than ever before in the history of the school. Our backfield, well, we ll have to wnit and see what we can do in that department." In speaking of the prospects and progress at the university, "Rock” stated that last Tnesdav was the day set for students coming In next year to engage their rooms, and at 2 o’clock in the morning there were 500 future students in line In the hallway of the main building ; waiting for the registrar. At 9 o’clock, according to Rockne, every room In the university was engaged, with the exception of those in Baden Ilall, which have been reserved for students who decide to enter the university after high school closes. LOVING CUP GIVEN COACH. Before the party disbanded. Rockne was presented with a large silver lov--1 ing cup. Inscribed with the words. "To Rock, from the Notre Dame Club of In- ; dianapolis." This morning the Notre Dame mentor had been Invited to deliver a short address to the student body of the Cathedral High School. Rockne said last night that he Ini tended to call on his friend Pat Page, athletic director at Butler College, this morning, and talk over plans for basket ball and baseball meetings between their teams next year. Rockne says that Pago is doing great work at Butler and that he deserves the loyal support of every | citizen of Indianapolis. Wabash Gets Early Lead to Beat Butler Outfit CRAW FOR DSVILLE, Ind.. Mav 10 Tha Wabash baseballers climbed right on Staton for a bunch of hits and enough runs in the early rounds of the first But-ler-VVabaah game here yesterday to take Chre of them In the late rounds, when their hitting slumped and Butlers picked up. Wabash won, 11 to 9. Weber, the first man up, started the Wabash fireworks with a home run down the third base line. A mixture of bits and errors gave the Scarlet six more runs in this round, and four In the next. After that Staton tightened up consld ierably and kept pretty close tab on the Wabash stickers, until the seventh, when they scored one more run. Butler scored In the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth rounds. Tip Sherman, Wabash pitching star, was not going at top form yesterday, still showing effects of his hard work against State Normal Friday, but he worked well In the pinches and mnn- ! aged to keep a little ahead of the Page- , men at all times. Sherman got three hits j out of four trips to the plate. i Five Places to Count in Big Ten Tourney CHICAGO, May 10.—With five places counting in the point column, coaches of Big Ten teams, will enter their full strength for the annual outdoor track and field games of the Western Conference to be held on Stagg field June 4.

The game waa played for the benefit of the Boston College fund.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 10,1921.

St. Paul fans are all hopped up over the recent winning streak staged by the Kelleyites and the attendance here has picked up amazingly. It Is unfortunate for the Indians that they are crippled at this time, as they have been keenly desirous of matching their prowess against the Champs. The Hoosier players are in fighting mood, despite the handicaps, however, and they are not going to be beaten without a struggle. Walter Rehg, 1920 batting leader of the Indians, believes he has hit his stride. In some of the early games this spring Walter was not getting ’em safe up to his standard, but at Louisville be picked up and now Is confident that he will start piling up a batting average. Lutzke is gamely trying to fill Covington’s shoes at first base, but he is unused to the position and finds trouble In covering the hag properly. St. Paul fans have read about the flashy fielding of Eddie Sicking and they will watch him closely In this series. , Catcher Butch Heline hopes to get a home run or two while here. The left field fence is not so far away and Butch hits hard to left when he meets the ball squarely. Mike Kelley, Saint manager, says critics who think the Apostles, are not out to repeat their championship ways of the last two seasons have another think coming. Mike says he knows Just where he is "at.” / “Let the Saints boast,” oaid Jack Hendricks today, "we are' up on top sharing first place with the Blues and we wouldn't be there if our club dldn t possess some class. If all our men were fu shape we would have no fear over this series. Our record In two series with Toledo, two with Columbus and two with Louisville is deserving of credit.

SPEED WAGONS ARRIVE EARLY Junior Specials Create Talk— De Palma and Hill With Early Birds. They're off to the earliest practice start in history at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the speed fans can just sit back and save up their pennies to see what already is on the books to be the greatest of all great classics staged on the leading race course of the world. Yesterday, twenty-one days before the race, there were four cars on the track, and several others in Indianapolis factories undergoing a final grooming before being ushered out to their Speedway garages. Yesterday and today boats carrying all foreign entries were due to drop anchor in New York docks, and these cars will be rushed here ns soon as possible. So, indications are that practically every ear entered will be at the Speedway next week. This means that there will be no tinkering around with sick motors an hour before the race starts, May 30. Everybody and everything is going to be ready days ahead of time, and twenty-five mechanically perfect' speed chariots will be on tbe track with motors tuned to perfection when the pace setter for the first round throws in his clutch and wheels away. Right . now. It looks as though the Junior Specials, Clifton Richards’ private entries in the big classic, are going to be *be sensations of the trial days. What De Palma’s great little Ballot was last year, that's what the Juniors are going to be this trip, as far as looks arc con cerned. The Juniors are a young millionaire's dream of perfection in the I cutoM'obile race car. ft is a certainty ' tha tthey are In the neatest jobs that have , ' ineared on the Indianapolis oval, and Clifton Richards, the man who built and owns them, Bob Brett, designer of the cars and driver of one, and Joe Thomas, driver of the other, are ready to vouch for their ability to burn up the bricks. Thomas' car has never been on the track, but Brett had his out one . day and kicked off an 85 mile clip. The i cars were built in Richards’ private garage in the rear of his home at Kansas i City, and they are named after his son, I Junior Richards. I Bennie Hill was out on the track Monday afternoon in his Duesenberg \ for a short time, and was making ninety j miles without the least bit of trouble. ( Joe Thomas says that "Smiling Ralph ' Mulford will not De found running around ; the track with a motor under one arm I and a load of wrenches under the other the day before the race this year. Ralph is to drive one of lyouls Chevrolet's two new eight-ln-srow Fronteuacs, and Thomas says that the rich young man who takes trouble with a smile will be one of the most dangerous of all contenders lu this race. Ralph De Palma, the original tough luck guy of the speed game, put In an appearance at the track late yesterday afternoon, Jumped into his work clothes and Joined hts mechanics in the work of putting bis Ballot In shape. Ralph says he is going to quit the hard luck business from now on, starting with the 500-uiile drive. That's why he Is on tbe track j plenty early. The four Duesenberg entries were at the track yesterday morning, but taken j tinck to the factory In the afternoon. They will be out to stay before the week is over.
