KRUEGER GIVES SAINTS LESSON IN USING BAT Enie Makes ’Em Dizzy by Clouting Three Homers in Series Opener. FOUR IN TWO GAMES ST. PAUL, Mar 4 -Fans here were Mill dizzy today as a result of witnessing the circus hitting of Ernie Krueger. Hoosier, catcher in the Tribe-Saint 6eries opened Wednesday. W hat made the lang dizzy was watching Krueger lam the ball out of the park three times in the one game, in other words Ernie collected himself three home runs off St. Paul pitchers all in one day. It was quite a feat and was equal to Ken Williams t hree-homers-in-one game stunt of not so long ago in the St. Lous park. Os course the Indians won the contest with all that clouting going on. The score was S to 4, the Saints getting three of their four in the final inning. Harry Weaver did the chucking for the Hooeiers. making his fourth victory out of five starts this season. Sheehan. Benton and Williams all saw service ou the mound for the locals. About 1.000 fans were present and despite the fact that the home club lost, the spectators got their money's worth by the hitting performance of Krueger. The series was continued today, with Rogge or Caret the probable choice for Tribe mound duty. The Indians were out to keep up their slugging while the Saints were in fighting mood and determined to make up for the Wednesday defeat. The Indians are still In a race with the Columbus Senator for A. A. lead. The Senators aiso turned In a win Wednesday, leaving the lloosiers and Buckeyes still in a tie. How would you like to hit three home runs in one game? Oh. boy, better than picking the Derby winner! In the last game at Minneapolis Monday Krueger got a home run in his last trip to the plate aud in his first three official times up yesterday lie got circuit clouts. Quite a feat, don't you think? In his final time at bat yesterday his mates pulled hard for him to make it four homers, but he lined down the third base line and was thrown out at first.

Not many players in the whole of organized baseball can boast of three circuit hits in a single contest. On the first homer yesterday no one was on base when Ernie cracked the ball over the left field fence. On his second homer he scored Covington and Brown ahead and on bis third big smack he was alone again. Weaver had a hard time locating the plate. He walked eleven men, but even at that he managed to tighten in the danger places. Krueger was hitting 'em over the left field fence yesterday at the spot where Bubbles Hargrave used to lift ’em. Minneapolis, with an attendance of 10.148 for the opening game of the American Association season, has been awarded the silver loving cup donated by Thomas J. Hickey, president of the league.

Georges Con fident as Time Nears for Scrap With Lewis BY GEORGES CAREEN TIER. CAR RENTIER'S TRAINING CAMP, MAIDENHEAD, England, May 4.—" Le grand vaut le petit tout le temps.” In plain English that means. “Good big man Is better than good little man every time.” That Is what they satd when 1 fought Jack Dempsey at Jersey City last summer, and now it is true of my fight with Ted (Kid) Lewis one week from tonight. I expect a good deal of support will go to Lewis owing to his disadvantage in weight. ' But that is human nature all the time. I know that 1 am as 'juick as Lewis and that I am fully as fast Granting that his ringcraft is equal to mine, the whole thing resolves Itself into the question: Can he overcome the disadvantage In weight? 1 am confident of success. I expect to demonstrate to the sporting world that I am as fit now as I ever was, although I weigh less than formerly. I am confident that my showing against Lewis will demonstrate that 1 am capable of putting up a good tight In the event 1 am matched to fight Dempsey again.* If I wiu next week I will nave to tight Marcel Nllles and then probably Joe Beckett If he survives his next contest. And after that who can say what will happen—perhaps it will be Dempsey again. I am ready fur him. In conclusion, if Lewis beats me It is the finish.

Billy Evans Says

Recruit pitchers are certainly playing a prominent part In the spring games of the American League. It looks very much as If several of the clubs had picked up some likely pitching material. In baseball there Is no greater asset than pitching. The Washington Club has Phillips and Gleason. Both have done excellent work this spring and seem to be valuable additions to the Washington staff. Phillips Isn’t a youngster In point of service, but must be classed as a recruit, since his previous big league slay was very limited. Cleveland once gave him a short trial. He Is a tig, husky fellow, with a side-arm delivery, and has good stuff. In Charlie Robertson the Chicago White Sox landed a most promising righthander. Robertson Is a righthander, with an excellent fast fall, a nice curve and a good change of pace. He uses an overhead style that makes his delivery quite puzzling. When the Detroit veterans failed to win Manager Cobb called on his rookies with excellent results. The first three

Italy, lie finished only 1 minute 58 seconds behind the winner, who drove a Mercedes. At the start of the last lap at Targo Florlo, Goux was 2 minutes in the lead, but he drove off the course and had to finish the last thirty miles oft the course with a bent front axle and with rear tires worn beyond the danger tread. Tho Targo Florlo course, laid out over mountains and through ravines along a const trail, is one of the most dangerous in the world In the 200 miles there is a total of but fifteen miles straightaway.

Yorke. who went to Los Angele* from the Chicago Cubs ns part pay ment for Outfielder Arnold Statz. has plenty of stuff, but lacks experience. Yorke's greatest trouble last year was his fielding rather than pitching. A big husky fellow, he found it difficult to field bunts. Opposing teams soon discovered his weakness and made tt as uncomfortable as possible for hint. The Cuba no doubt retain a string on Yorke. It is believed a season or (o In the minors will overcome his weakness. If he learns to handle bunts he Is sure of a major league berth.

Fletcher Out of Game PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 4.—Arthur Fletcher, captain of the Philadelphia Nationals, who was injured last week in a game with F.rooklyn, will be out of Ihe lineup for two weeks. Manager Wilhelm said Wednesday. Fletcher tore the muscles in his right thigh when running out a hit.

games won ly the Tigers were credited to Stoner, Ulson and Plllette. The fourth win was made possible Dy the work of Cole, who was with the Tigers last year, but didn’t work very much. The Detroit Club seems to have landed some likely recruits. Johnson, the most highly touted of all the newcomers, has not been able to show because of an injured arm. He Is said to be a sureenough big leaguer. Pillette, secured In the snme deal with Johnson, has shown good form in his early starts. Pillette is a six-footer who greatly resembels Venn Gregg, except that he pitches right-handed. Olson Is a little fellow with a slderrm delivery, a snappy- curve, nice change of pace aud fair speed. He seems to know how to pitch. While Detroit fans can not expect the youngsters to work consistently, still it looks as If the Tigers had a pitching staff In the rough that In a year or two would be most troublesome. In base! all pitching is the big thing, and on spring form it certainly looks as if the American League had landed some promising talent.

Hits Safely in Operating Room; Wife’s Ordeal Rather Serious NEW YORK, May 4 —"Well. I know how Urn going up, but I don't know how Urn coming down," soberly remarked George Herman (Babe) Ruth this morn Ing as he stepped into an elevator at St. Vincent's Hospital and was whisked to the operating room, where his tonsils and adenoids were removed. In an adjoining room lay Mrs. Ituth, awaiting a major operation, the third in a year. Before being placed on the operating table, baseball's great hitter entered the sickroom of his wife ami knelt by her bedside. "Everything's all right, dojFt you worry," she said, extending a weak iittle hand. Then a priest entered and the two of them took communion together. A few minutes Ruth went with the doctors "The gam* needs Babe," murmured Mrs. Ruth to a friend, as she awaited word from the operating table. She made no comment whatsoever about the serious operation that she was to undergo in a few minutes. in the operating room, “the King of Swat" was stretched ou the whit* topped table, and the anaesthetic was applied An attendant wheeled another table outside of the wife's door.

The recent progress made, by high schools over the State In Introducing sports other than football, basket ball and baseball Into Inter high school competition deserves creditable mention. In the last throe months boxing, wrestling and tennis have been Introduced with considerable success. The real benefit, in introducing a greater number of sports Into high school competition lies In the fact that all boys are not basket bnl! players, but in many cases have marked ability in other branches of sport, and can and will, serve their school well if sports wherein they had ability were given a chance. This will also tend to promote a better spirit In school athletics, and among the school students. If the program of all sports competition is faithfully carried out the desk warmer type of Vitudeut soon will become extinct. The no hit game feat which was recently revived in the major league* seems to have invaded high school circles. Ewing of Tech hurled a no bit game against the Southport High School nine Wednesday, only twenty-eight men facing him in the nine innings, and winning. 8 to L He struck out twenty men. Due to two errors, Tech's star hurler was unable to shut out the losers, who chnsed a marker over the pan In the first Inning, when Ryker, first up, was hit by a pitched ball, and made the circuit on one steal and two overthrows Teeh's big inning came in the eighth, when it scored four of Its markers Tech garnered a total of eight hits for Us eight runs.

WILLS MAY NOT GO TO EUROPE , LATEST STORY Manager of Dusky Fighter Undecided as to Trip Abroad After Dempsey. WILLARD ON DECK AGAIN BY DAVID J. WALSH. NEW YORK, May 4.—lt is by no meani a corrugated cinch that Paddy Mullin*, Harry Wills and retinue are going at road in the immediate future to hurl defls at Jack Dempsey. The writer talked to Mullins today concerning a report that he was sailing with Wills next week in an attempt to force Dempsey into a match, and his replies were vague and indefinite, to put it mildly. In fact, “I dunno,” seemed to appeal to him as oosseasing a certain charm and virtue not always thought to the average mind. He did not know, for instance, whether he and Wills would sail now or ever. He did not know what had become of the English promoter who had cabled for Wills’ consent to a bout with Dempsey In London, nor did he know bow Dempsey and Kearns stood on the propo‘Tut’ Strong for Church WASHINGTON C. H„ OlUo, May 4. —“Tut" Jackson, local colored heavyweight, who recently trounced Sam Langford, announced anew use for fistic winnings today. Jackson fights Jack Geyer of Colombus, white heavyweight, here tonight. Every cent of Ills winnings. Jackson said today, will go to the Second ..Baptist Church, of which he is a member, sltlon to have the men meet abroad. Candidly, Mr. Mullins seems to be out on a managerial line. However, certain ideas have occurred to him, to wit: That with Dempsey talking of an early return to this country, Mullins and Wills might arrive in England just in time to say, “Hello, good-by.” The expense of the greeting would be prohibitive. That, with a Dempsey-Carpentier bout being smoked up abroad and a DempseyYVillard renewal in Omerlca, Wills and perforce Mr Mullins, stood a very good chance of being whip-sawed between the two if they went to England at this time. That, in other words, it might not be a bad plan to get a guarantee of good faith from someone before they ever stepped on a boat. “But,” we pointed out, “if the Dempsey bout doesn't materialize, you can pick up some easy money over there knocking off Beckett, Cook and the rest of them." "We are not looking for easy money," was the reply, “we are looking for Dempsey.” Meantime, affairs in the heavyweight situation are moving along rapidly. The eminent Mr. Rickard received a wire from Jess Willard yesterday in which the former announced he had been training carefully and now w*s in good condition. The eminent M,. Rickard immediately cabled Dempsey in an effort to learn his mind on tho enhioot nC a Win.rd match, but it is possible that the champion may be preoccupied with details of the proposed Carpentier bout in London. Someone must pay the upkeep on that trip abroad, sb we have pointed out before. And if we know Kearns at all, someone indubitably will.
