TRIBE DEPARTS FOR NORTH IN FLAG POSITION Indians Will Oppose Millers in Big Opener at Minneapolis Friday. ALTREAU IS RELEASED The LEAGUE LEADING INDIAN'S vert? on their way to Minneapolis totlay after winding up the first stay at home by trimming the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday, 6 to 2. Pretty sweet for the boys to ease into the flag position as they closed their season’s opening appearance 011 tht- home lot, but no one will deny they didn’t have it coming to them. \\ inning eight out of the first twelve games is quite a feat and it looks as though a few ,-i.her chibs in the A. A. will have to do some tall hustling if they have been figuring on getting fat at the Tribe's expense. . . , The Indians are the second official league leaders of the 1922 season, the .Millers having been first and having been ousted as a result of Wednesday s Happenings —the Indian victory over Milwaukee here and the Minneapolis* defeat at Columbus. The next big American Association feature will be the battle between Indians and Millers starring at Minneapolis triday. Some battle, it is destined to be. The fans up in the Miller town have made extensive preparations for a grand opening and the Indians are going to try to spoil It for them by knocking the Cantillonites off. According to reports received here today the Miller park has be n sold out for the Friday game and it probably will be sold out again SunPug Cavet cavorted on the Tribe mound ; it Washington Park yesterday and. but for a home-run drive by Dick Gossett in the fifth inning he would have scored a shutout. As it was. however, the Indians were well satisfied, for they got six runs while the Brewers were getting oiilv two. The Indians put up a fine defense behind Cavet. and he breezed along in effective manner after Gossett had put his soeker over the fence Eddie Sicking and Doug Baird had busy days on the infield, the former handling eleven chances and the latter eight. A total of eleven hits was hung up bv the home crew against seven for the visitors. Walter Kehg got himself a triple, double ail'd single out of four trips and Cavet ,-ut in with some effective bat work himself with two singles and a sacrifice fly. Pug nearly got an extra base smack also, but Melillo, Brewer center fielder, robbed him of it by making a spectacu tar catch against the fence. Other Tribe extra base blows were driven out by Mvrrisoa and Krueger. King Bradv went the full route on the mound for the Brewers and the Indians took a liking to his slants during the second half of the pastime. The Indians will be gone until May 30, when they return to take on Jay Kirkc and the other Colonels. The Hendrleksmen will visit ejrery city in the circuit during their long jaunt. Three double plays were negotiated by the Tribe and one by the Brewers. Plenty of class *•> that infield of ours. Eddie P.rown replaced Purcell in right told in the -eighth. He got liims°lf a hit >n h's or If time at bat. Both Brown and Spene-r left with the squad and they soon will be ready for regular duty .f any of the other tiv ehns?re show signs of cracking under the strain. Dick Atttroau. youthful first sacker who has been subbing for Covington and a ting as pinch hitter occasionally, today was given his outright release by Manager Hendricks. With Covington going so well, both in the field and at bat, it was decided that it would tea handicap to Attreau's advancement in bascbail to keep him sitting on the bench. Efforts were made to put the youngster out on .ption. but difficulty was met in finding i good jot. for btm under those eondi- ; ions. Owner Smith then requested that l>lek be given his unconditional release •i order to give him a better chance to talk business with minor league managers Atireau has been popular here and President Smith decided to do the best he could for him. It is likely that Dick will join the Springfield team of the Eastern League. Pitcher John Paul Jones did not make the trip to Minneapolis with the squad. He was left here to work out more, for he has not nad much chance to tune up his throwing arm this spring, not having joined the team until after It had returned from the South.

i-j&GurScuooi. PORT'S Southport again rucked the Manual scalps under its belt and romped home with a 9 to 1 victory over the Red and White. Klein, the Southport burler. was effective all through the game, allowing only six scattered hits, two of which coupled with a passed ball gave the Manualites their only tally. The last three Innings were Pitcher Higgs' undoing as he allowed three extra base hits while the Manuol infield went to jieces, making four errors. Tech used two pitchers yesterday to hold Broad Ripple scoreless in their game at Brookqslde Park. Ewing and Calvert held the Rippleites to one lone hit and during the fracas only twenty seven men faced the moundsmen. Ewing whiffed eleven men in the six innings he worked, hit one man and allowed one scratch hit. Tech’s big mind came in the second when six men romped oyer the plate for scores. Jordan, the Tech catcher, also showed some fine work on ihe receiving end. Broad Ripple has had a bard time getting started, this spring as Manual dropped them some time ago. Broad Ripple will play Manual at GarFriday.

Amateur Season Opens in This City Saturday

Final plans were made Wednesday night at a meeting in the City Hall for the official opening of the amateur league baseball season in this city on Saturday. The various leagues were represented and much enthusiasm was expressed over the season's outlook. The usual parade will start the 11122 schedule under way. The local teams are starting play earlier than usual this year in order to clear the way for championship play in this city and nationally.

Billy Evans Says

Ruling on Home Run Over Fence The rule governing the legality of a home run says that the umpire shall rule a hit over the fence or into the stands fair or foul, according to where he last sees the ball. That means that if a ball was hit over the fence, and was twenty feet fair when it passed out of playing territory, but curved into foul territory when it finally passed from the umpire's view, it would be a foul ball. It is where the umpire last sees the ball rather than the. fact ,t was fair when ot passed out of playing territory. The rule originally was that the umpire should deyide the hit on where he last saw the ball. At a meeting of the rules committee three years ago a change was made In the rule. Jt was ruled a home run if the ball was fair when it passed out of playing territory, regardless of where it later went. After two months of trial the major leagues went back to the old rule, believing lliat it was more difficult for the umpires to decide Just where it was when it passed out of playing territory than to watch it until it passed from their view. - - -i- i- -i- -iDetroit Jinx for Pitcher Mails Detroit is the jinx team of the American League for Pitcher Walter Mails "f the Cleveland club. Not since his entry into the American League has Malls been able to turn in a victory against the Tigers. The experience that Mails has had against the Detroit club is very similar to that of Cy Morgan when he pitched for the Philadelphia Athletics in the days when Mark's dubs u-t. winning pennants. Morgan, a very effective spit!.Jill pitcher, situply couldn't vin against that old slugging aggregation of Cobh>Crawford and Company There is no Vis , manag-r in I>- .11 than Connie Mack, and he tried in ever.' way p..*\blc to remedy the fault. Alter using Morgan about a half-dozen times <fy more against Detroit with the same result—his ultimat< removal from \ji.- box -Mack saw nhe folly of such a policy. Morgan, strangclyv enough; was always very successful against the Cleveland team. On ail VAm-teri) trips of the Athletics Morgan was excused from pitching against the Tifkrs. Against rhe Cleveland team he was always selected to open and finish r%e four-game series. \ Knowing lie was ineffective against the Tigers, and verv effective against Cleveland, Mack played theVfeunch of not sturtnag him in Detroit, and using him twice against Cleveland. And it was not aS v unusual thing for him to twice bent Cleveland in thejfame series. It might be a wise pian to adopt the policy of not starting Mails against the Tigers as Morgan.

The choice for the opening contest will be between three hurlers, Ross, Carr or Jeffries Mackay or Eggleston will do the receiving. BIG LEAGUE STUFF Just by way of making things interesting, the Athlelics waited until the ninth inning to spring u threerun rally on Sum Jones, and the Yank 8 ’ winning streuk of eight straight games came to a halt without further notice. Ed Rommell, one ot many socalled Yankee jinxes was the frock-coated villian of the piece. Mr. Grimes of Chicago, had a Mg day with the stick, while Mr. Grimm of Pitsburgh was doing n.xt to nothing. The Cubs, therefore, disposed of the Pirates la ten innings. ‘ Look out for us now," says Pat Moran. The Reds finally won a ball game after dropping eight in succession, th" St. Louis Cardinals being the victim, ltlxey. brutally man-handled iu other starts this season, held the Cards to three hits ami shut them right out. Another scandal! Ty t’obb gets well pitch's! game from a member of his careworn staff, and a lefthander at that. liert < ole confined the free swinging Browns to six hits and scored a shutout while the fans blinked in amazement. The Giants' winning streak also come to parade rest when the Phillie.: pound ed out a vict'wy over Jess liarnes and Causey. Art Fletcher was a Mg factor In the defeat of his former mate- driving in four runs with a single n the ?ec ond and a homer in the sixth. George Kelly, liosg Young and Cy Williams also obliged with home runs. It was Eittciy Ring's third straight victory. Slllnners. who was knocked out by a pitched ball in Tuesday's game, was back on the job and got three hits. The Indians and "Sliding Billy" Watson are doing very welt these days. Cleveland's slide toward the 500 mark xxus continued yesterday xvhen the White Sox won easily behind the pitching of young Robertson, who was as strong as venerable cheese in the pinches. Messrs. Pennock, Karr, Dodge and Fill ierton spent a merry afternoon, but Dodge wag the only one who had the right idea. The Senators assaulted this quartette for nineteen hits and made a clean sweep of the scries with the Red Sox. A pair of Southern Association graduates, Du/zy Vance and Barney Mangling, collaborated in winning the second straight victory for the Dodgers over the Braves. Both Idt the hall vigorously- and Ituxiy pitched winning ball all the way.

GREB-TUNNEY TITLE BATTLE IS IN MAKING —— ( Light Heavyweight Championship Affair Planned for New York May 25. HARRY THE FAVORITE By DAVIS J. WALSH. NEW Y'ORK. April 27.—According to the best advices, everything but the chirographic operation on the dotted line , has been arranged for Harry Greb and j Gene Tunney o meet in Madison Square ! Garden on the night of May 26 for the j American light heavyweight title. The * young men. they say, are a bit at varij nnoe over the slight difficulty of spliti tiDg the customers' money cn an amica- ! ble basis; otherwise, the stuff is on | like a hot rivet. | Reading between the lines, one can see ! that Greb is making ready to smoke himI self up very thoroughly before he pro- ! ceeds further in his ‘ampaign to get i Dempsey into the ring in an eight or ten- ! round sprint in some town where decis--1 lons are taboo. If he beats Tunney—and |he should do just that—he w r lll have an American title to add luster to his claims. As for Tunney, it Is a question of fighting for an opulent purse at some early date, or going to work with the rest of the boys In the early morning. Gene hasn't had a match of any importance since he won the title from the decrepit Levinsky. Tunney may not altogether realize It, but the fact of the matter is that he Is not a good bet to retain hts title in a I bout with Greb. The present champion I may be a first class hitter, but, if so, he has kept the fact carefully concealed. Also he is hardly fast enough to outpoint Greb, although a right smart workman at that. Therefore, the match, if any is really on. figures as a bit of pocket money for Tunney and a steppingstone for Greb to a bout with Dempsey. It only serves, however, to make the Dempsey situation more Involved. Dispatches from abroad today Inform you that Dempsey and Carpentier are being warmed over, so to speak, for a return engagement. Several days ago Harry Wilis, the well-known brunette, announced his intention of setting out for foreign climes, there to nelt the champion with challenges and verbal razzberries. Prior to that interesting announcement Greb was pleased to state that everything was set for an eightround, no-deelsion buck and wing with Dempsey at Philadelphia, July 4. There’ you are. You pay your money and take your pick. It all narroxvs down, gentlemen, to a question of whether the i eye is faster than the hand, i For your non-essential part, we will venture that Dempsey will meet some1| body abroad even if they hax-e to send Joe Beckett, the horizontal champion, iijto the ring with a meat ax in either hand. Obviously something will have to be done keep the upkeep down on that expensive European trip. Buzukos and Reynolds to Mix Tomorrow Night I Wrestling fans here will get their next : entertainment tomorrow night when Peter j Buzukos xvill try his prowess against the mat skill of Jack Reynolds at the Broadway Theater. In the preliminary bout Ollfe Olson and Peter Zbyszko will meet and this scrap is expected to rival the main go for excitement. Buzukos defeated Reynolds about two years ago and believes he still possesses sufficient stuff to do it again. He'll have to show something if he does, however, for the mat fans here can't figure him knocking off the slippery Jack. Reynolds meets Jack Fisher in Kokomo tonight i and if he is not given too imyb of a tussle there he'll be all *t for Buzukos. Farmer Burns, former mat king, will referee the Biizukos-RffVnolds bout and also give a talk on the wrestling art In i general. Burns 6tiU possesses a power- | fill physique and is well fitted to demonstrate various holds.
