Indians Do Well Enough Against Major Leaguers

Rain of the morning today caused the cancellation of the second contest of the two-game series between Cincy Reds and Indians, and as a result the ball players were not called out for the scheduled action at Washington Park this afternoon. The Cincy athletes immediately started racking up to more to other fields, while the Indians, the new ones, particularly, occupied the day by getting better acquainted with the city. The Queen City team copped the honors yesterday, 0 to 6, in a game that pleased about 2,000 fans who turned out to get their first 1922 taste of the national pastime. The Reds managed to keep just about two jumps ahead of the Tribe hopefuls all along the line, but the locals found some consolation in the fact that they collected eleven hits for six runs off the major pitching. With the exception of the batteries the line-ups used yesterday will be the probable starting line-ups for both Indians and Reds opening day when they start, their respective Association and National League seasons April 12. The youthful Purcell, Central League rookie,'caused amazement by slamming out a home run and three-bagger off the Red pitchers. Harry is of the slugging type and will make a strong bid for a berth here. His throwing arm seems to lack distance, but if he can pound the ball far enough he'll be worth holding. The infield of the Indians looked like the e*P3 old big league stuff. Baird made a bobble on a chance for a double play, but he got one man find the slight fumble was excusable at this early date and on the newly sodded iniield. Hank Schrelber was a whiz at short, handling nine chances In ripping style. He got the ball away so fast that even the Reds took notice. Picking ard Covington handled everything la easy, effective style. Ernie Kueger caught the entire game for the Indians and convinced the fans he Is quite a performer. Baird and the pit- -era were the only Indians not hitting. i Hong showed a flash of his old speed In the seventh, when he sprinted from ' first ts third on an infield out. Doug ] wa sthe base thief champ of the A. A. j last season aad his legs appear strong enough to carry him to another p*.faring i title. Bubbles Hargrave, former St. Baal catcher was behind the hat for the Reds. ! Ho was bubbling over with base hit*, getting two doubles and a single. | walked once, giving him a perfect Sw at bat. Dufican, Cincy left fielder, came through with a pair of doubles. Neale. Clncr right fielder, was the coach last fall of the famous Washing- j ton-Jefferson football team that had an undefeated season and which held the California eleven to a scoreless tie at the Tournament Roses, New Years day. he didn't do It, however, without the aid of at least one Indiana athlete, Neal, a former Wabash College tackle, being one of his regulars. Caveney, short stop and Pinelll, third base, were obtained from the Coast League by the Reds. Pine'.ll played here before when he was a member of the Detroit Tigers. Though the hyphenated term is not used these days, still the Cincy infield presents an unusral layout. Jake Daubert at first, in the old days, could be termed a German-Americaa; Fonseca, at second, a Portuguese-American; Caveney ; at short, an Irish-Amerlcaa: Pinelll at third, an Italian-American, and Bohne the | other first 6tring inficider, a Jewish- i American. The game today was scheduled to get under way at 3 o'clock. Empires Geisel and Gardner are officiating this series. Geisel goes to the In- ! ternational League this season. Gardner . is a former minor league player and manager. He served three years overseas with the Canadian forces and has a Bn- ! tlsh milltarv medal for distinguished service in tne field and two medals for Trthletic work connected with his soldier- ‘ ing His team won the Army baseball : title of the British Isles in 1918 In a big game at the Queen's Club. London. He was a corporal with a Canadian engineering outfit. The Indians will play the Butler College nine at Washington Park tomorrow. •On Friday the Tribe will motor to Greencastle to play De Pauw. Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers come here Saturday and Sunday for games. ASK WAIVERS ON TOUNG. DETROIT. April 5 —Waivers have been asked by Managpr Cobb of the Detroit Americans on “Pep” Young, veteran second baseman. In announcing bis decision to drop Young, Cobb said he wished to fill the place at second perffianently, and was doubtful whether the veteran would regain his old-time form. Young's erratic throwing last season caused him to be dropped for a time from toe regular line-up.* This spring he went to the training camp confident he would hold his birth, but his old diffienlty developed again in a game at Augusta Saturday.

BILLIARDS

j [ Billy Evans Says 11 Smartness Really a Chief Asset Pitching Is unquestionably the best asset of a ball team. Without good pitching a ball club doesn’t get very far these days. Os course there are other things required in baßeball aside from pitching. A batting offensive Is very necessary. Fielding Is a consideration. Baserunning also has Its place. However, one feature that enters Into the makeup of every successful ball club usually receives little or no consideration when discussing a team's strength. In baseball there Is a phrase used which best tells what I mean. “It Is a smart ball club" is the way players refer to teams that are quick to take advantage of opportunities. I have known of a dozen clubs that had great pitching, plenty of hitting, fielding and base running, yet never won a pennant. They were not smart ball clubs. -1- -|. -|. - f . - f . Omaha Boy Takes Swing ala Ruth The f|fty-slx-ounce bat Is a myth In baseball. Babe nutb Is supposed to swing a flfty-six-ouncer. That Is twelve ounces more than Ruth's bats actually weigh. Ruth swings a forty-four-ounce stick. The heaviest bat used In baseball this year Is wielded by Floyd Caves Herman, first baseman for the Omaha club in the Western League. Herman Is Detroit property. H<* tried out with Detroit this spring and is farmed to Omaha for the year. He is a native Californian and played with the Edmonton team in the Western Canaria League last season. Detroit was attracted to Herman by his batting ability. He Is only 18 years of age, stands six feet two Inches In height, weighs 198 in playing form, had but one year’s experience in professional baseball, but he Is a natural batsman, a free swinger. Herman's shoulders are as powerful as Ruth's and he Is a slugger to the “manner” born. Ho takes what ball players describe as “a nasty cut” at the ball and he swings from the ear. He ‘drives ’em a mile.” When Herman reported at the DetAdt camp last August he brought along a bat weighing forty-eight ounces. A few days later there arrived six more bats weighing forty-eight ounces each and with the name “Lefty Herman" burnt into the business end of the hickory. Herman’s bats are two inches longer than the bats used by Harry Heilmann, who Is just as big as Herman and who is the American League’s hatting champion.

NET SCHEDULES TO BE SHORTER State High Schools Vote for Fewer Basket Tilts Next Season. Answers to the questionnaires sent out by the State high school athletic board of control have been received, and the majority of answers overwhelmingly favor the suggested changes of the board. The resolution limiting the high school schedule to sixteen games received the most opposition, many thinking that sixteen games were not enough. A great many favored twentygames. The suggested opening date of Oct. 1 was favorably received, few answers suggesting any change. That no games shall be played after the State tourney by either schools or players was practically unanimously accepted. Allowing only live games per month also went over favorably. Regarding the one extra tourney of sixteen teams stipulated by the questionnaire there seemed to be some difference of opinion, a good many favoring more than one extra ton. ney or no legislation concerning them. The consensus of opinion disfavors out-of-the-State tourneys. The rule allowing only first teams to enter tourney play was accepted. The penalty of suspension for violation of the rules also went over by a large majority. The questionnaire system of settling the rules In question seems to be rather unfair to the minority because it allows no chance for discussion which might throw a different light upon the matters. It takes more than a “yes" or “no” to reply to the various suggestions. Opinion seems general that the board of control should consider the situation very carefully before making any drastic changes.

Dempsey-Wills Go Looms in Future if Jersey Is Kind Black and White Contest Looked on as Best Bout for Jack. BY DAVIS WALSH. NEW YORK, April s.—lt is now being set forth in all good faith that Jack Dempsey, blond, and Harry Wills, brunette, are to put on thair proposed heavyweight championship bout at Jersey City in the not too distant future, Flournoy, and the eminent Mr. Rickard, who collaborated on the Wlllard-Dempsev affair at Toledo, are to be promoters, it seems, and nothing whatever is to home of it unless Jersey politicians respond to kind treatment. Dempsey is due to reach New York in a day or so and will sail for Europe on the Aquitanla April 11, but before he goes he will be shown the dotted line and asked to do his duty. However, If Jersey Is disposed to look unkindly upon this extravaganza in black and white there will be no bout at all and Dempsey will be constrained to peddle his highly esteemed services around Europe. Europe seems to have become quite philosophical about Dempsey. It is admitted over there that he is better than any man the whoie world can muster, therefore why make him prove it? That being the case, it is altogether likely that if anything can be done about a Wills contest in this country, the champion will not fight In Europe. The bouts he has in prospect there with Bombardier Wells, Joe Beckett and Carpentier are not particularly alluring from a financial standpoint. These are being viewed abroad as nothing more than exhibitions and no fighter ever buttered his bread with exhibition money. This makes the Wills proposition look very tidy If It can be put over. Deal and Kerr CHICAGO, April s.—Charles (Chuck) Deal, former third baseman for the Cubs, was due in town today to report to the new City Hall team of the Mid-West League, managed by Frank McNlcbols. Deal and Dick Kerr, former Sox star hurler, will play with the City Hall team in practice games Saturday and Sunday against the Firemen at De Paul field. Kerr will arrive Friday, George Carlson, city commissioner of gas and electricity, and organizer of the City Hail team, announced Tuesday.
