TOO DAMP FOR WASHDAY FRAY AT TRIBE PARK Millers and Indians Rest Until Tuesday—Sunday Battle Goes to Visitors. NOTES OF THE WEEK-END Jack Hendricks' Indians got an even break over tha week-end, downing the Saints, 10 to 5 Saturday and being forced to take the short end of the opening game with tha Millers Sunday, wnen the Cantillcn vets annexed the day's honors. 3 to 1. la the Saturday fray Lee Bartlett went the full route for the Tribe, whi>e the Saints used four pitchers to no avail. The hitting feature Saturday was a homerun clout over the right-field fence by Purcell. The Millers were in grand form on their first appearance here this season and when the Sabbath-day contest closed they were out in front because they had made their hits count to better advantage than the Tribe was able to do. Schauer and Rogge were on the firing line and the former had the necessary stuff to tighten in the pinches. Cavet finished for the Indians when Rogge gave way to a pinch hitter, who didn't hit. in the seventh. Catcher Mayer of the Millers had one of those good days, driving in two of his. team's runs, one coming when he lifted the ball over the left field fence. The Millers started the scoring in the first frame. Jourdon led off with a doable, and scored on Slcking's error aft-r one down. Indians evened this up Immediately. Baird beat out an Infield hit, was doubled up with Morrison, but ltehg came through with a single, stole second and scored on Covington's double. Sad to relate, that ended the scoring for the home boys. The Millers stepped out in front In the fifth when Mayer cracked out his homer and In the seventh they made their total for the day three when Browne doubled and scored on Mayer's single. It wag a good ball game, even If the home team did lose. The infield work on both sides was especially good and a catch by Rondeau that ended the contest was one of those kind that seldom occurs. The Frenchman took the ball with his gloved hand Just as he crashed into the screen fence In front of the left-field bleachers. The crowd was a big one for Indianapolis, the splendid weather of the day bringing out the rooters in large numbers. The fans were In good humor gud always ready to offer encouragement to ■•he Indians, but they were given only a * w chances to cut loose, for Rube Schauer was going too good out there on the mound. The heavy rain* of last night and this morning piled up too much water on the playing field and In the duguuts and the second contest of the Miller-Tribe series scheduled for this afternoon was postponed. If the sunshine gets back on the Job in time the teams will try to resume their struggle tomorrow.
Mayor Lew Shank attended the Sunday contest and didn’t let the fact that the Indians were behind Interfere with his rooting. He got hold of Owner Smith and introduced the blushing Tribe boss to the crowd. Pitcher John Paul Jones, former Tribe pitcher, who was released last season when be developed an arm ailmeit that he could not shake off. arrived in he city from the South today and he will be given a thoaough chance to do a comeback. The fans will pull for Jones to make good, for they well remember his effective work in 1920. If John Paul can hit anything near his old stride his presence will bolster the hurling staff. Browne, the new Miller shortstop, knocked down a number of hard ones fjunday. but found trouble in keeping his tvt. He looks as though „e is going to be a great ground coverer with more experience. Reb Russell. Indianapolis citizens, blasted out one hit for the Millers. Russell Is one of the greatest come-backs of baseball. Manager Jo© Cantillon was dressed in Easter style on the coaching line. No, that was not a smoking Jacket he wore. The Indians ouihit the Millers in quantity blows, but not In quality drives. The Millers stack up as a formdiable outfit. The presence of Jordan at first helps them over last season. If young Browne delivers and the pitching staff holds up, It's going to take a formidable team to head off the Cantilion crew. The Millers are the -first official leaders of the A. A. race for the 1922 season They have won four and lost none Every other A. A. team has lost one or more games. Three Minneapolis newspaper men are trailing the Millers. They like their club and predict a big year for Minneapolis victories and attendance. Hank Schreiber made a brilliant play in deep short on Fisher's bid for a hit in the third. Itank pounoed on the ball tack on the grass and flipped It over to first Just about two steps ahead of the Miller runner. OHi© Olson, wrestler of the hard dome, knreked some pop flies with his beau preceding the game. He let a couple of hard thrown balls skim off Ms cranium Just the same as If his head was made of iuud wood.

TEX AFTER BIG SEASON
''W * * ♦ TEX COVINGTON. Last Resting Place of Cap Anson Near Jackson Park Links CHICAGO, April 17.—Adrian (Cap) Anson, “grand old man of baseball, ’’ was buried today at Oakwood Cemetery with lar vate services, only members of the family were in attendance. The public services, held on Sunday, were attended by K. M. Landis, commissioner of baseball; John Heydier, president of the National League; the entire Hetrolt and White Sox teams and other leaders in the baseball world. Anson, who in his later years, devoted ail of his time, to golf, was burled a short distance from Jackson I’ark links, where he played frequently. The body of Mrs. Anson, now buried In Philadelphia will be brought here and placed at rest beside her husband.
BIG LEAGUE STUFF First thing you know, Washington wMI be demanding a Congressional Investigation. The Philadelphia Athlettcs are in third place and that seems about as right as rat poison. Futhermore, the Athleitcs, with Bryan Harris pitching great ball, knocked the Senators off in the first game of the series, Saturday. The St. Louis Cardinals are so sorely oppressed by the temporary loss of three regulars that they haven't lost a ball game since the start of the season. The Cleveland Indians stepped along to the Aruerhan League pace yesterday in stopping the St. Louis Browns in the opening game of the season. All Cleveland Is elrele-running over the fact that Waiter Mails showed a return of his 1920 form In shutting out the Browns and incidentlaliy beating Urban Shocker. “Bald Dick" Rudolph, hero of the 1914 world’s series, essayed a comeback against the Giants yesterday and hud them shut out until the seventh inning. Then the weight of years bowed the veteran down and he caved badly, the Giants winning, 5 to 2. The Pittsburgh Pirates won their maiden victory in the National League In taking the Cincinnati Reds over the jumps. However, according to the home -4'olks in Redland, anybody can take the Moran entry. The Detroit Tigers lost their fourth straight yesterday, this time to the White Sox. which had failed to break Into the victory column until the Tigers happened along. The Phillies still roost in third place, bn they are feeling far from well, thank you Just the same. They were very harshly treated by the Brooklyn Dodgers yesterday, the home team trifling with Smith and Behan for a matter of seven-t>-en hits, including a hoiirer by Zaek IV heat. Schaefer vs. Cochran NEW YORK, April 17.—The championship 18.2 balkline billiard match between Jake Schaefer, the title holder, and Welker Cochran, will be held in Orchestra Hall Chicago, May 1(1 ,17 and 18. Conditions similar to those which prevailed In the last Hoppe-Schaefer contest have been agreed upon and the experts will play a total of 1,500 points in three blocks.

Big Tex Covington evidently means to have one of his best seasons this year as first packer and clean-up batsman of the Indians. His hitting has been good in the early games and bis fielding superb. In fact Tex seems to have Improved in the fielding department over last season and be is grabbing everything within reach. He Is a good target for bis fellow Infield mate? to shoot at and seldom does a throw get away from him. Covington hits well with men on bases and is good for more than .300 every year. Because of his reputation at driving in runs all the fans get up on their kind legs and cheer when Tex steps up to Oie plate. The rooters seem to expect Tex "to do it" no matter who the opposing pitcher may be, and Tex certainly tries hard to pledse.

Mohardt to Minors DETROIT, April 17.—Detroit Americans have claimed "Whitey” Witt, outfielder for Connie Mack's Athletics, through the waiver route and will send Johnny Mohardt to the minors. It was reported here today.
f Billy Evans Says
Pitching Is Problem of Majors Pitching Is a problem that confronts practically every major leagn© manager. A good many of tho major league leaders are pretty well satisfied with their ball clubs, pitching excepted. The lament of a majority of the managers is "If our club only had a little more pitching we* would make lots of trouble." John McGraw of the New Y'ork Giants and Miller noggins are about tha only two managers who seem pretty well satisfied with their pitching staff. Despite this McGraw Is carrying a number of recruits who have promise. Likewise, Huggins is hopeful that Lefty O'Doul and a right-hander by the name of Murray will be of help in the campaign of 1922. Pitching is a peculiar proposition. Sometln.'is a youngster who appears to have great promise is a long time arriving. Occasionally some pitcher little considered develops into a star Inside of a season. In the American League today there are two pitchers who have every chance to reach stardom. I nave in mind George Üble of the Cleveland club and Wilkinson of the Chicago White Sox. The season before Uhle Joined the Cleveland club I saw him work in a game in the fall of the year against a team composed of big leaguers. Inside of a couple of innings I made up my mind that Üble was a real big league prospect. Before the game was over I learned he was the property of the Cleveland club. -I- -I- -I- * c|- -I- -|- Uhle and Wilkinson Have Stuff I ventured the prediction that the sand letter inside of three years would be a sensation in the American League. League. While Uhle hasn't quite lived up to my prophecy he has demontsrated that he is a great pitcher. I haven't weakened on him in the least. Unquestionably there is still some little thing lacking. One of these days he is going to find himself, correct that fault, whatever It may be. and then look out'. A pitcher with the speed, fast breaking curve, nice change of pac© and free delivery that Uhle uses, should have no trouble winning from twenty to thirty games every vear with a club that is up in the race. Roy Wilkinson of the Chicago club has had a similar experience to that of Uhle. In fact, he has never been nearly as successful as the Clevelander. In the final game between the Giants and the White Sox, on their recent spring training trip, Wilkinson stoood the Giants on their beads. He pitched the kind of a game you always expect him to but seldom does. Gleason believes he has discovered Wilkinson's fault, working too hard on every batter. Certainly he has the stuff to be a consistent winner.
LIVE COMMENT ON FEATURE TOPICS BY N. Y. SCRIBBLER “BY DAVID J. WALSH,
NEW YORK, April 17.—You can thank Mr. Floyd Fitzsimmons, late of Benton Harbor, Michigan, now of Michigan City. Ind.. for the fact that Benny Leonard, the lightweight chamjdon, is not to link arms with Jack Dempsey and Johnny Kllbane and join the merry throng along the Strand in dear London. At least not in the Immediate future. Benny has a previous engagement with Mr. Fitzsimmons to tight one of three men at Michigan City, July 4. Otherwise ho might show unseemly haste in accepting an offer of $45,000 to box Ernie Itice In London. The offer Is advanced by Louis Healy, a responsible promoter, which makes that end of it quite ail right, and Rice is a very fair sort of third rater, which fixes that. Giving the proposition the left to right, it seems altogether possible that Leonard will be disposed to keep the worthy Mr. Healy in mind for future reference. The basket-bail rules committee ! responsible for a bit of constructive legislation Tho doubling of the penalty for personal fouls committed within fifteen feet of the basket means that players will hesitate before they deliberately foul a man to prevent him from scoring a field goal. The latter is the life biood of basket-bail, this business of scoring point after point from the foul line being about as interesting as a Mil of lading. However, tho game as played in tho colleges and among the amateurs can stand improvement from the standpoint of the spectator. The professional game is far more interesting. Like a B< nca! tiger, basket-bail looks much better in e cage. Without knowing who has the right of tho matter, club owners or player, we will venture that ihe passing of Dick Kerr to the outlaws is not only deploratde, but the poorest sort of business. Kerr has automatically suspended himself for a period of not less than a year, which means that if he applied for relnstate--17,000 Fans Watch Babe BALTIMORE, April 17— Babe Ruth came to this city Sunday and crashed out a long homer in a game won by the New York Yankees from the Baltimore champions, 9 to 1. The bail park was filled with 17,000 fans assembled to pay homage to Maryland's Sultan of swat. Ruth fanned twice, was passed once, knocked a weak infield fly, but in his second trip to the plate in the third Inning drove the ball over the fence in deep left, center. Flack Back With Cubs ST LOUIS, April 17.—Max Flack, outfielder, who left the Chicago Cubs' training camp at Catalina Islands and re turned to his h >me here after being "beaned" in a praetice session, has rejoined the club. Flack agreed to stand a fine of fifteen days’ pay for his desertion.

TWIN BROTHERS IN ‘BIG SHOW’
Tha Jonnard twins are trying to win their spurs in the major leagues. Claud© Jonnard, with the New York Giants, is hailed as one of the best pitching prospects of the year. Clarence Jonnard, with the Pittsburgh Tirates, is a catcher and hopes to stick In the big show. Hughey Jennings, right-hand man to John McGraw, says that Jonnard is certain to be carried by the Giants. He is a big right-hander, well over six feet, and is Said to have an unusually good fast ball. Clarence Jonnard seems to have enough ability to stick under ordinary conditions. Unusual conditions exist on the Pittsburgh team this year, which should help his chances to win a regular berth. Walter Schmidt, star catcher of the Pirates, refuses to report because o fa salary difference with Owner Dreyfus. This insu'>s Jonnard a real trial. Claude and Clarence started their careers in 1916 ns the battery for the Nashville High School team. If they manage to make good in the majors, it will ba the first time in the history of the national pastime that twin brothers have so delivered.
BUTLERSTARTS ON BUSY WEEK Four Games on Baseball Card —Chicago Tilt Saturday Features. The Butler College baseball nine was to cross bats with Rose Poly this afternoon on the Terre Haute diamond, if the weather pc-mitted. and this contest was to start off one of the stiijest weeks of competition on the Christian schedule. The Pagemen are booked to play four times this week, three 1. C. A. L. contests and a feature game with Chicago University. Following the gam© today the Butler players will remain in Terre Haute and take on State Normal, last year's I. C. A. L. champs, Tuesday afternoon. The game with Franklin, postponed from April 8, will be placed Thursday at Irwin field. This will be the only home game of th© week for the local collegians. Chicago University will be tackled Saturday at Chicago In one of the biggest game 9 on the Butler program. Jake Staton, the pitching ace of the Blue and White, will no doubt be given a rest in the early games this week and groomed for the Chicago game. Griggs and Slaughter probably will perform against the two Terre Haute schools. Butler opened the home season at Irwin Field Saturday with a 4 to 3 victory over Purdue. The contest was well placed and of the spectacular variety, the lead changing three times during the game. Butler come from behind in the sixth to tie the score and shovel over the winning marker in the eighth, Wallace and Staton engaged in a pitching duel, with the latter’s support giving him the edge.

CLEVELAND AND CARDS SET HOT PACE AT START Spokemen Surprise Dopestera With Early Rush—Pitchers Deliver for Tris. YANKS WAIT FOR MAY 20 o By HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK, April 17.—Cleveland Indians and the St. Louis Cards are away to a flying start in tho major league races. What result the good getaway in April will accomplish in October, fauses smart baseball men to differ. John McGraw, a rather successful person in getting results out of a ball club, sees no wisdom in a sprinter’s crouch and a flying start from the tape for a marathau. He believes in an ordinasy start and an even pace. After his experience last year, when the Cards lost fifteen out g>f tha first twenty games. Branch Ricjtey believes in speed from the first and fie has sent his Cards away under the whip. So has Tri3 Speaker. The rush of the Cards and tha Indians is the talk o£ the young baseball season. Tris Speaker may be chuckling. It was expected the Cards would get away with a dash, but Cleveland with "only one pitcher” was expected to be jostled on every turn. The wiseacres pointed out that the Indians did not have a pitcher down South who could go the distance. It looks now that tho world's champions of 1920 haven’t a hurler who can’t go the distance. Speaker has won four with the little considered Morton, the wTTrn-out Bagby, the erratic Mails and "old faithful" Covecieskie. The New Y'ork Yankees can’t be tlamed if they get on their knees and pray for mercy until May 23, when Ruth and .Yieusel return to the game. It is not generally agreed that even tho presence of those two celebrities will work a ihiracie. Early form shown by veteran pitchers is another feature of the season. Art Nehf. the veteran Giant southpaw, and Phil Douglas, bis staff mate, are in great shape. Dutch Iteuther, the Brooklyn wanderer, is acting like he is out to spread gloom all over those mean clubs who said last winter they would take him with the waiver price thrown in. Red Faber has pitched two great bail games, and even Rube Marquard is still good. Babe Adams has his antique wing In shape and Dick Rudolph showed yesterday he has six innings in him that will beat a lot of clubs. Additional Sports, Page 9
