NEWS of the DAY IN

LOSING OPENER FAILS TO HURT INDIAN SPIRIT / Tribe Disappointed, but Not Discouraged Over Defeat in Grand Opening. GOSSIP OF THE EVENT It was a case of right back at ’em this afternoon for Jack Hendricks’ Indians in the second game of the season's opening series ■with the St. Paul Saints. Beaten in the opener Wednesday by a 3 to 0 score, the Hoosiers were deeply disappointed, bnt not greatly discouraged, and for this reason they hoped to make quick work of evening up the se--ries with Mike Kelley's peppery outfit from the far North. It was likelv Manager Hendricks would send Harry Weaver to the mound today. and it was considered almost a certainty that Manager Kelley would select Tom Rogers. Otherwise the line-ups were to be about the same as.on Wednesday, with the exception, perhaps, that Gonzales would be behind the bat for the visitors. The opening day event was a grand success, with the exception of the fact that the Indians lost. However, it was a great ball game and it took airtight pitching and remarkable fielding to prevent the Tribe from creeping out in front Tom Sheehan opposed Carmen Hill on the mound and Sheehan had the better day of it all around. He was found for only five hits, lut was saved on about three occasions by spectacular fielding behind him. Tom was there in the big pinch, however, and worked himseif into a fine victory oy the shutout route. •-round conditions worked against HIU in the game. Perhaps two of tuts long hits obtained by the Saints would have been captured by Tribe outfielders had not ground rules been in force. Slow fielding in right in the second frame also placed Ht’.l at a disadvantage, for it gave the visitors the opening break of the game and put them in an easy way to score.

Fans in general were well satisfied with all the doings of the afternoon. The parade was long and lots of enthusiasm was displayed along the liue of march. Fact of the matter is it appeared to be about the longest oening day parade here that present fans recall. At the park the stunts preceding the contest were interesting. The flag raising, participated in by Marines, Governor McCray, Mayor Shank, President Smith of the Indians and members af the two ball teams, was impressive. a Floral tributes were presented to the XKribe as a team, Manager Hendricks and Dtogg Baird, the champion base runner of whe league. The Kiwanls Club, Rotary Club, Lion's Clflb. Marion Club, Broad Ripple Chamber of Commerce and Altrusa Club made presentations that brought cheer to the players and applause from the fans. A committee of Altrusa Colb members carried the first ball to fee pitched from the Governor to Mayor Shank. The pellet was imbedded in a basket of flowers. The Mayor had gone through warming up exercises. but his effort on the first pitch was slightly wild. The Altrusa basket carriers were Dewave Payne, Maude Mac\i ker. Ethel Parsons, Helen Clayton, Anna Abell and Frederica Wheeler. When His Hizzoner, the mayor, walked out to the mound some fan yelled: ‘Shank now pitching for Jewett!” Maude George, movie actor, was at the game and she looked the movie part very well. She was there to see the contest and to present the cup to the civic club having the Ugliest percentage of membership at the game. There were balloons for everybody. Did Jim Murray and former Home-Run King Freeman were the umpires. President Hickey of the American Association was expected to be present at the game this afternoon. He attended the opener at Louisville Wednesday. Eddie Sicking got three of the Tribe’s five hits. Krueger got the other two. Other Indians didn't have their hitting shoes on. Boone, Saint shortstop, struck out four •traight times, but he surely was a demon in the field, cutting off at least three bids for safe bits. The Saints scored their runs as follows: In the second inning Tim Ilendryx, first up, hit a long fly to right field. Purcell had been playing in right center and he appeared to be slow in reaching the flying sphere. Asa result Hendryx got three bases on the drive. Whelan tripled to the chairs in deep left field, scoring Hendryx. Berghammer fouled out to Baird, and Alien hit a ground liner to Covington, who made a fine play on the ball. Whelan was held at third, but scored a moment later when' Armstrong got a double on a wind* blown drive on the left field foul line. Sheehan walked, but Sicking threw Christensen out on the side-retiring play. In the sixth inning the Saints got their third marker. Hendryx cracked a triple to the chairs In deep left to open the stanza and he scored on Berghammer’s single after one mate had been retired.

ONE OP MANY BEAUTY OFFERINGS PRESENTED INDIANS

- '.l ' - • „

The Indians didn't win that opening game Wednesday, but it was not the fault of the many club boosters nor for lack of encouragement 1n the way of flowers, good luck designs and other

day by driving out a triple, double and two singles. Bunny Brief, A. A. home run king, is on his way again. He got one of those things at Toledo yesterday. The Indians tried hard for a rally in the eighth and they filled the basi*s with two out, but the threatened rally ended there. After Sicking bad been retired on a great plas by Boone, Aitre-.ru batted for Hill and drew a base on balls. Baird flied to Christensen, Morrison was hn by a pitched ball and Rehg walked. With the liases populated, Covington up and Sheehan showing signs of lost control, the crowd stood up and yelled for something to happen. When the count was two balls and one strike on Covington, Sheehan shot a curve that seemed to go Inside of the plate. Tex let it go, only to hear Umpire Murray shout “strike two!” It did look like a ball and Tex sure did get peeved. If Tex had gotten that break tba count would have been three balls and one strike and the ultimate result might have been different. As it fumed out Tex offered at the next ball and rolled to Berghatnmer for the side-retiring out. Lee Bartlett hurled the last Inning for the Indians and put the Saints down in order. Bruno Haas in right field for the Saints got the last putout of the game. With Krueger on second In the seventh inning Purcell got what started like a hit but the ball was driven right into Shortstop Boone, who had sprinted over to drive Krueger hack to the bag. It was a tough break against the Indians. Outfielder Verm n Spencer and Edd'e Brown are working out with the Tribe, Irtit are not likely to be ready to play until next week. Christensen, the Saints’ new center fielder, covers plenty of territory. He got two hits Wednesday and stole a base. Haas and Whelan of the Saints are professional football players as well as professional baseball athletes. They are built for It.

The prize will be placed on one of the attractive light harness aces, A. U. Kemper, superintendent of tho speed department. stated. Gates favors an “Indianapolis day" for the fair when every citizen should have a chance to attend. “We'd miss the fair if we ever lost it," he declared, “aud Its good business to patronize it.” State Bowling Tourney ANDERSON, Ind., April 13,—Low scores ruled again at the State bowling; tournament here.

Billy Evans Says

One Star Often Makes a Winner To refer to a ball club as a one-man team is hardly fair to other players. However, the addition of one star player very often makes a ball club. The presence of such a piayer in the line-up immediately changes a mediocre aggregation info a pennant-winning team. The coming of Tris Speaker to tho Cleveland club added the necessary punch. The team ultimately won the pennant and world scries in 1920 with Speaker as its manager. When Eddie Collins was secured by Comiskey from the Athletes, the White Sox became a strong pennant contender. The Sox, after the coming of Collins, won a pennant aud a world series In 1917 and a pennant in 1919. “Rabbit” Maranvllle last season made a pennant contender out of the Pittsburgh team. Much credit, of course, must be given Manager Gibson, but it was Maranviiie's presence in the infield that gave the club its balance. I.ast year the Washington club, despite the experimenting that was done at shortstop, was a hard club to beat. Shortstop is a vital position on the in field. If Washington, with an uncertaintyat short, was able to stick in the running throughout the season, fans of that city have a right to expect mnch greater things this year with Roger Peckinpaugh playing the position. -I- -1- -I- -I* -1- -1Shortstop the Big Issue Shortstop is a problem that several major league managers face. The addition of Peckinpaugh has solved it at Washington, but what about Detroit. Cincinnati, Boaton and the Athletics? The developing of a player able to fill the position of shortstop Just about spells the difference between success and failure to Manager Pat Moran at Cincinnati and Ty Cobb at .Detroit. It now looks as if Moran would pin his hopes on Caveney, the sensation of the Pacific Coast League, while Cobb has Rigney, tho star of the Texas League, as his one best bet. It is asking a great, deal of a youngster to fill the bill at shortstop on a major league club right off the reel. However, it looks as if that was the task that both Caveney and Rigney face. Counie Mack has had a score of shortstops in the last eight years. He probably has a half-dozen possibilities at the present time. The passing of Dugan may make it necessary to send Galloway, who played short most of last year, to third. If so a recruit will hold down short for the Athletics. The Boston Red Sox figure on Joe Dugan to fill Scott's place. Joe doesnt like to play, short. Third is his natural position. That probably will be apparent to Manager Duffy before the season is over.

Derby Candidates Seem in Epidemic of Trial Gallops By DAYIS J. WALSH. NEW YORK, April 13.—This business of racing a Derby candidate silly day after day seems to have seized upon the trainers like an epidemic. Let Morvieh do a mile In “forty-one” and the next day every rival of importance would be out there trying to run the distance in “forty.” Let Kal Sang, William A, or any of the others step the Derby distance under a full head of steam and the rest of the bunch would come out the following day to attempt the same thing. It is bad business any way you look at it. We were talking the matter over with a well-known racing* man at Jamaica the other day and he condemned the practice of a fish-monger's whisper. “There is absolutely no sense In running a horse one trial after another,” he declared. He will need all his speed for the race, and if you have it worked out of him in morning gallops he certainly will miss it on race day. “I would like nothing better than to have three horses prepare for the Kentucky Derby, two of them to race their heads off In practice, the third to play dead until the race. I'll wager I would have the only live horse on the track when they pulled the web. The rest of the field would have been killed off trying to beat the time of my other two candidates in the morning workouts.” There is much to commend in this man’s view point. Many a fine race horse has left his speed and stamina behind him long before race day Just because some owner or trainer merely wants to be assured that his entry can step the distance at top speed. BIG LEAGUE STUFF NEW YORK—McGraw's million-dollar Infield let a couple go through at “croocial” momenta and the Brooklyn Robins beat the Giants, 4 to S.

BOSTON—Errors by the former Yank battery, Quinn and Ruebl, caused the Red Sox to lose to the Athletics, 8 to 2 after they had gotten away In the lead. ClNClNNATl—Spectacular fielding by Charley Hollocher and skillful pitching by Grover Alexander stopped the Reds, the Cubs winning, 7 to 3. CLEVELAND —Stuff Mclnnis, playing his first game for the Indians, hit a single, a double and a triple and helped beat the Tigers, 7 to 4.

Technical H. S. Athletics

A preliminary meet staged for the purpose of uncovering new material for the Technical track and field team was held Wednesday. A. Siler carried high point honors, winning two first places and one second. H. Johnson was second, taking one first and two seconds. Other high point men in the meet were: R. Gude, McCalip, Langlals and J. Shumer. One hundred and seventy additional baseball candidates reported Wednesday and Coach Kingsolver divided the group into four squads for a four-club league, the first game of which was to be played today. A four-team freshmen league has also been organized and each team will play twice a week. The temporary first team practiced Wednesday at Brookside Park. Dick Mills appears to he a fixture at shortstop. Gordon is showing real form at first base, while Steihorn Is apparently a fixture in the outfield. Peterson and Ewing will likely do the hurling for East siders, while Baldwin, Bitner and Jordon are battling hard for the receiver's job. Adkins and Carr likely will fill the other two infield jobs.

FIRST GAMES UPSET A FEW PET NOTIONS Giant _ ‘Million-Dollar’ Infield Gums Up Things—Yank Pitchers Not Invincible. CARDS STILL WALLOP By HENRY L. FARRELL. NEW YORK, April 13.—Opening day and early season games don’t amount to a whole lot, but they are interesting. The 1922 debut proved not only that the folks are still interested in the game, but that the boys have told a lot of things that are not so. One of the most important discoveries was that a million dollar infield can look sometimes as if it came from the notion counter. The New York Giants opened up this little secret. The world’s champions also confessed that they haven’t forgotten through the winter now they dislike a southpaw. The Yankees, doing their part of revelations, demonstrated that a milliondollar pitching combination has days when it looks like “not so much.” The American League champions also made it very edear that they have a terrible outfield and that Babe Ruth and Bob Meusei are going to be terribly missed. Os course it was cold weather for the boys but a game is a game when judgment day comes in October. Cleveland showed that the Indian pitching staff isn't ready for the scrap heap yet and the Cubs look like they ought to win at least 20 games or so as long as Alexander the Great is around. The Cardinals still pack the terrible wallop that made them the yeggs of the circuit last season and the Senators have themselves a sweet ball club since they got Roger Peckinpaugh at short. Red Faber, in dropping a three-hit game to the Browns was tho first pitcher on the list of season's martyrs. Attandance was generally fine at the openers. New York bad 30,000: Boston, 15,000; Washington, 24,000; Cincinnati, 22,000; Cleveland, 20,000; St. Louis; IS,000; Philadelphia, 15,000; Chicago, 21,000. Emil Meusei of the Giants: Rogers Hornsby of the Cards; Bob Veaeh, of the Tigers, Bill Parkinson of the Phiiis, were the first home-run hitters of the year in the majors.
