INDIANS STEP OUT FOR MORE K. C. OFFERING Blanking Blues in Series Opener Gives Tribe Feeling of Security. REHG’S CATCH FEATURES Blues and • Indians were prepared to do battle again this afternoon in the second game of their series, and the usual amount of fur was expected to fly. Plenty of action, excitement and oratorical outbursts occur when the Hoosiers and K, C. boys tangle. In the scries opener yesterday the Indians registered a 3-to-0 shutout over Otto Knabe's crew, due to sensational fielding and eareful pitching. Tiller Caret had no easy time of it, but he managed to ease through after a tempestuous struggle and thereby annexed the honor of scoring the Indians' first shutout of the season. Ray Caldwell, former Cleveland flinger, tossed ’em up for the Blues, and he did a fairly good job of it, even if he did lose. He was not easy by any means, especially In the pinches, but constant battling by the Tribesmen finally was rewarded and they scored twice in the fourth and once in the seventh. Brief, home run king of the league, was puzzlvd by Caret's benders, and his failure to connect proved costly to the Blues. Caret fanned him twice, and on another occasion Bunny hit into a double play. The Blues are never beaten until the last man is out and they were still battling hard in the ninth yesterday. In fact the situation looked shaky for the Indians until Walter Rehg came through with a catch that saved the day. In the Blues’ final turn at the bat, Scott singled after one our. McCarty was safe when Purcell dropped his fiy, Scott stopping at second. Robe Lutzke. former Indian, stepped to the plate at this stage and clouted a high liner-to left that looked good for plenty of sacks. In fact Lutzke’s drive appeared to be headed for over th fence, which would have meant a tied score. But Walter Rehg was out there and he was full of business. When Lutzke's bat connected with the sphere Walter turned and made a Charlie Paddock sprint for the fence. Arriving there he glanced up. sighted the pellet taking a nose dive and with a backhand leap he speared the ball just as he crashed into the fence. Puke Reilly pulled many fine catches when he patroled that territory, but he never made one better than Rehg’s game-saving catch of yesterday. The catch made the second out and Caret quickly got Wricht for the third and game ending out by forcing him to fiv to Morrison. Manager Otto Knabe still go's away with baseball murder on the coaching lines. He was "on" empire Flnneran the entire afternoon and was pr-nl!t> and to get away with It. When he didn't feel Inclined to occupy the coaching itn"he sat in the dugout and kept his tongue wagging. Apparently the entire K. C. squad has been instructed to coach, for there seemed to be more noise out of that dugout yesterday than usually is heard from the visitors' bench. Knabe didn't like the way Caret pitched. Bunny Brie? probably felt the way about Pug's offerings. The Blues expect to murder every pitcher that faces them and when they find a pitcher who refuses to wilt under their attack, Manager Knabe takes the stage and tries to get the pitcher’s goat. The Blues were grumbling last nigh'. They couldn't figure out why they didn't get a half dozen runs. Pome said the Indians surely had the balls frozen. Beating the hard hitting Blues bv the shut-out route caused the Tribesmen to feel like they're going to get some where True, the Blues got just as many hits yesterday, but it's the runs that count, and the Indians got the runs. Scbreiber was the first to score In the fourth he singled and went all the way to third when Rohg best out a bunt and Powd missed Caldwell's threats) first. Covington failed, but Krueger came through with a sacrifice fly. Hank and sending Rehg to second Purcell drove Rehg home with a single to center. In the seventh Purcell singled, moved up when Sicking was safe on Wright's error and advanced again with --irking on Morrison's sacrifice. Cavet deivered a sacrifice fly scoring Purcell. Harry Purcell got three hits out of as many times up. He's the hitting kid. Five double plays were made, three by the visitors and two by the home club. A few were of the sensational variety and got the two pitchers out of holes. Knabe said it was the luckiest game Cavet ever won. Perhaps it was, but it counts in the standing. Bartlett and Rogge were ready to take a turn on the firing line for the Indians today. Knabe made a long speech to Scott In the geventh when the latter was nipped at the plate. Scott had reached third with no one out when R.-hg permitted his single to gel away for three bases. McCarty bit a bounder to Baird and Scott dashed for the plate. He whs an easy out, P.aird to Krueger. Knabe exploded and left the coaching line to put Scott on the pan for not holding third. If Hendricks used, a right-hand pitcher today. Becker was to play left field for he Blues and Zwilling right. Box seat tickets and reserved grandstand tickets for the Sunday grime with the K. C. Blues are on sale at the Clark and Cade drug store in the Clavpool Hotel and will be obtainable there until Sunday noon. General admission tickets for the Sunday contest will he on sale at that place Sunday morning.

LIVE COMMENT ON FEATURE TOPICS BY N. Y. SCRIBBLER BY DAVID ,1. WALSH.
NEW YORK, April 21.—Call it heresy, rank, flannel-mouthed raving, or what you will; put it down as so much theoretical bunk or a joke on your Intelligence but— We met a man yesterday prominent in Metropolitan turf circles, who doesn't think Morvlch, champion 2-year-old of the 1921 season, has a white man's chance to win the Kentucky Derby. Further than that, he states as his honest and candid opinion the belief that the prohibitive favorite won't even finish in the money. • "He can't go on to a mile and a quarter," says this prophet of the straightaway, curve and back stretch "Morvicb is truly great at the short distances. but if I ever had an idea in my head. 1 want to tell you now that the coil can't stand the racket above a mile. 1 haven't the faintest idea what entries will lu-at him. but I expert to see at least three of them come along from behind in the final quarter. Glad Tidings for the gentlemen who have insisted upon hammering Morvich's price down below 3 to 1 in the winter books. Gene Tunney. who potaesacs the doubtful privilege of calling himself the light heavyweight champion, and Harry Oreb, the best man in the world from 100 pounds to the Heavyweight boundary line, are talking about a meeting for the American light heavyweight title, but can't agree on a location for the bout. Tunney is all for staging the tight at Boyle's thirty acres. Jersey City, where i champion can look forward to a serene afternoon.

Burns Tells London Wills Is Only Man to Face Champion By HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK. April 21.—Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion, is now using his right to write powerful pieces for the London papers. Tommy's opinions are largely printed and generally respected when he talks about ring things. "Exporting' about the present condition of the heavyweight class in one of the London papers received here today Burns says: "The only fighter who has a real good chance to win the title from Jack Dempsey under the ‘proteet-your-self at all-times' rules is Harry Wills, the American colored tighter, Probably no boxer knows TV ills as well as I do, as I refereed two contests for him—one against Sam Langford and one against Jim Johnson. Wills won both fairly easily. "Wills is as big as Jim Johnson and a better natural fighter than he ever was, but not as good in defense. Wills is another Peter Jackson “Carpenticr would have a good chance with Dempsey in another fight in a clean breaking contest, but if Dempsey were allowed to hit in the clinches, as in Ihetr previous fight, it would be goodnight, Georges, in a few rounds." Burns says that Carpentier and Beckett ought to fight again ns the one punch victory of the Frenchman in their first encounter was a fluke. Tommy thinks he has something left himself as he suggests he be given another chance against Beckett if Ihe Frenchman will not meet the British champion again. London perhaps will not take kindly to any disparaging remarks about "South ampton Joey” Beckett, as he Is regarded as a real champion, even if he is looked upon in the United States as the "Count of Ten.” "Beckett has proved himself the champion of this country,” the same papers says. "He has beaten every other heavyweight of note in It, including Bomb Wells, Dick Smith and Frank Goddard—when Goddard was at his best. Even if he may never be champion of the world, he is otir own and Rritlsh." The British fans will not listen to talk of a Dempsey-Bookett fight. Apparently they have given up the Idea of getting a world's champion in this generation and their hope now Is that Beckett may bo become the champion of the whole British Empire. LEE VICTOR IS FORT FEATURE In the weekly bouts at Ft. Benjamin Harrison last night Bobbie Lee, local welter, knocked oit Yank Druley of Richmond, in the fourth round of a scheduled fifteen round scrap. Druley substituted for Frankie Jones of Louisville and be was outclassed by the local boy. Jouos was reported overweight. Bobbie went after his man In a hurry and his stiff punches soon had Druley suffering. The Richmond lad did his best, however, an i was commended fur his gameness in taking the bout ou such short notice. Jack Brooks, colored, outpointed Kid Hayes, colored, in the eight round semiwindup. Brooks won by a wide margin and will be given another chance to show at the Fort. Bud Conlln shaded Soldier Baird in the four round prelim. William Boyd and Upton Stout won the battle royal staged by six husky colored boys. Decisions last night were newspaper decisions only, the Ft. Beniamin Harrison B >x!ng Club officials having decided to operate on a non-decision basis. *’5,000 FOR LEWIS-I'KSEK. DMD'AGO, April 21.

NEW YORK, April 21.—Friends of Floyd Fitzsimmons of Benton Harbor, Mich., who has Jack Dempsey signed to fight in Michigan City on Labor day,
; Je.-is to fighting for a title tnat he won’t ; >?et unless he wins by a knockout. Two of the best looking teams in baseball the St.. Louis Cardinals and the Washington Senators—are off to a had stall, only because they are being handicapped from day to day by careworn pitching. The Cards did get away running through the first few days, but Clyde Milan hasn't seen a really well-pitched game by any member of his staff since the opening of the season. Os course, all pitching lg an uncertain proposition just now and we are prone to believe that both clubs will be favored with more consistent flinging as the race goes on. Walter Johnson, still the main dependence in Washington, has been thrown off his stride l by sickness and trouble. We are pleased to believe that his loss of effectiveness is only temporary. The Cards’ best bet. Bill Doak, human salivary gland, is not a good spring pitcher, hut Bill will be heard from later So will Jeff Pfeffer, whom we expect to have a great year. rs vour existence be tame drab, dull and irksome we suggest that you go to Franklin field, Philadelphia, oil the afternoon of April 29 and there confine your vagrant attention to the running of the final leg of the two-mile relay champion ship of America. I nless somebody comes a cropper, Larry Brown of Pennsylvania, holder of the world's record for 1,000 yards; Tom Campbell of Yale, a 1.54 half’-miler. and Allen Helfferich of Penn State, national champion at 880 yards, will be sent on their way within a scant few yards of one another.

Shut-out Ball Is Hurled by Staton Against Franklin Staton, the Butler pitching star, was too good for the Franklin team Thursday, and the Irvington team won its first home game by a 7 to 0 score. Staton whiffed thirteen of the opposition and allowed only four hits. Butler counted one run in the second and one In the fourth due to the hitting of Blessing. It: was the third saeker’s double that drove in the first run and his home run over the left-fielders head that accounted for the second tally. By counting three in the seventh and two In the eighth the Pagemen put the game far out of reach of the visitors. Strohi.

f ßilly Evans Says
Rail Sot Quite So Lively I have always refrained from referring to the ball In use last year as a lively ball. T have simply said that it was the best ball ever made. Being the best ball It naturally was considerably livelier. I do not think there was any intent to "pep” up the ball in a hope that it would Increase hitting The fact that the very best wool was used, making it possible to wiml the ball much tighter, plus the best of workmanship, resulted in an extraordinary hall that would carry when properly hit. The ball last year undoubtedly had much to do with the great increase in hitting. The mediocre pitching and the elimination of freak deliveries did the rest. On what I ha* seen of the bail so far this year I would say that it did not have the carrying qualities of the ball used last season. If such proves to be the case hitting Is sure to ease up. -I- -I- -I- -J- -I- -I- ---\ ery Latest Heavyweight Hope. Presenting the very latest heavyweight hope. Jim Tracey of Australia. Tracey is 24 years old, stands 6 feet 3 l a inches and weighs 210 pounds. Thus It will be seen that Tracey is at least the equal physically of Champion Jack Dempsey. Tracy recently arrived in our midst. His purpose is to secure a match with Jack Dempsey. Os course he did not expect Dempsey to postpone his trip abroad in honor of his coining. It is Tracey's intention to fight his way to a place where Dempsey will be forced to give him consideration Tracey has been fighting for nine years. He began hia career ass light weight at the age of 15. Since then he has fought his way through practically ail the classes. In 1920 Tracey achieved the height of his ambition, the winning of the heavyweight championship of Australia. He defeated Albert Lloyd, who was the title holder. Tracey was Dorn at Johannesburg, South Africa. He started fighting as an amateur, but finding the fistic game rather slow in his home town decided to set out for Sydney, the Australian inecca for mitt pushers, and he made good there.

Pat O'Hara, the professional of the Richmond Country Club of Staten Island, X. Y., sprane something of a golfing sensation at the recent North and South open championship at Pineburet, N.

O’Hara had turned In a sixty-nine for his second eighteen holes. Shortly after completing his rounds a terrific rain storjn set in, preventing a number of other players from finishing their round.

OLYMPUS NEW DERBY SPEEDER Havre De Grace Race Brings Whitney Horse Into Turf Spotlight. BALTIMORE, April 21. —Among the noises heard at Havre de Grace, immediately following the running of the Delaware handicap, was one deep groan emitted by a gentleman whose recent haste in backing Morvlch to win the Kentucky Derby was responsible for his discomfort. Said gentleman had just seen Olympus, one of Harry Payne Whitney's several Derby prospects, in his first public trial. Said gentleman is not to be scolded. What Olympus did was enough to scare any one carrying a Morvich ticket. Morvieh is not beaten yet, but he’ll know that he has been to the races when he hooks up with Olympus. That is the consensus of horsemen who saw the son of Royal Eagle concede five pounds by the scale to such a brilliant handicap horse as Boniface, ten to Bunga Buck, who had the handicap division at Bowie figuratively in bis pocket, and thirteen pounds to Polly Ann, one of the best fillies in Maryland and one who had a previous good public trial under the belt. If Olympus is not the making of a great race horse, horsemen who have been watching 3-year-old prospects for years will have missed their guess. Olympus is all that a Derby prospect should be, with the possible exception of a duil coat. Conformation and stretch he has in abundance. Speed be has shown, as attested by the fractional time of Wednesday's race. 114-5, 23 3-5, 36, 48 1-5, 1:00 4-5 1 :13 4-5, 1:27, 1:412-5, and the mile and seventy yards in 1:45, fighting a strong wind that blew up the stretch. He stood a furlong drive and answering in the truest race horse fashion, outlasting Boniface, a thoroughbred bulldog, if ever there was one. A. B. C.s in Exhibition at Terre Haute Sunday The A. B. C. will play their first game of the season Sunday at Terre Haute again-t the Three I league team of thacity. Manager Ben Taylor expects to take along about eighteen players and give most of them a chance in the game to see what they can do.

The club was bolstered considerably yesterday upon the arrival of a star battery, Ross and Mackey. Both have been playing on the Coast In winter leagues and are in good condition.
