PAUL, May B.—Two more battles •with the Saints this week-end and then the Indians will move on to Milwaukee for their first appearance there this season. The Hendricksmen have been going so well in this community that the boys have a few pangs about leaving jspecially the players of the team wh- ire members of the "Over the Fence Cl ').” Lee Bartlett was thought to be the logical choice for Tribe mound duty in the game this afternoon with Merritt, a southpaw, sticking ’em in for the Saints. In the Sunday contest Harry Weaver probably will work. However, if the Indians get away with the honors today Manager Hendricks may take a chance on his rookie. Seib, In the series wind-up fray tomorrow. Rogge, Petty and Hill all did turns on the mound yesterday when the Indians engaged the Kelleyites In another slugging bee and came out on top, 10 to 7. None of the three pitched long and will be available for more duty ovsr the week-end if necessity demands .In downing the Saints for the third straight time yesterday the Hoosiers were given some opposition, for the locals also had on their batting clothes and managed to make things interesting. Ernie Krueger failed to get his daily home run, but he got near to it by poling out a S/lple. Brown was the circuit socker 4 f the afternoon by lifting the ball on top of the skating rink. Morrison continued his great slagging by getting three hits, single, double and triple and Baird and Scbretber each got a double. Manager Kelley used three hurlers In an effort to check the Tribesmen and the Hoosiers got a look at Martin, Rogers and Merritt. The last named wn in there only one inning. The Indians put on a big massacre in the second inning when they scored eight runs. Brown batted twice in that frame, going out the first time and then socking his homer on the second trip up. It certainly was a wild inning. The Indians scored one in the first and with those eight in the second, they had piled up a 9 to 0 lead. Then the Saints started by getting two In their half of The second. In the third the locals got four and drove Rogge off the mound. Petty relieved Rogge and faired well until the seventh, when he got in trouble and gave way to Carmen Hill. The Indians brought their run total up to ten bv scoring one in the eighth and the Saints made a farewell bid by getting one run In the ninth, leaving the final score standing at 10 to 7, Indians. Asa result of the Tribe vietorv here Friday and the defeat of Columbus at Milwaukee the Indians are again in lone possession of first place.

SEATTLE, Wash., May 6. —Vean Gregg, left handed pitcher, after three years' voluntary retirement from professional baseball, Is essaying a comeback under an early tutor, Walter MeCredie, of the Seattle club In the Pacific Coast League. Thug far Gregg has sustained all advance notices. His pitching has been of a high order, wild streaks few. and his old curves still piling up strikeouts in emergencies. Gregg's career was a mixture of pitching and plastering until 1909 when he signed with the Spokane club iu the old Northwestern League. The next season, with Portland In the Coast League. Gregg amassed a world's record of 379 strikeouts in 397 innings. With Cleveland In 1911 Gregg finished second among the league pitchers with twenty-three wins and seven losses.

The Boston Red Sox took Gregg in 1915, sent him to the Buffalo club in 1916, then recalled him for the world series that year after he pitched and won several few hit games. After playing with Providence in 1917 Gregg was sent to the Athletics In 19*8 in a trade. Late that year he Injured himself and despite Connie Mack's efforts to retain him for coaching young pitchers Gregg failed to report In 1919, and farmed for the next three years.

Billy Evans Says

Keitth Wlllinms, the slugging outfielder of the St. Louis Browns, in one week's time made nine home runs. In setting a modern record he made three home runs in one game and two in another. In one of the seven games he failed to make a circuit clout. • • • Last Saturday In the eight games played In the American National Leagues thirteen home were made. In only one game, that between Detroit and Chicago, did a player fail to hit a homer. In the four games in the American Association Thursday ten homer were scored. • * * This s.ugging has caused the question to be revived as to the elimination cf the lively ball. Thlrten home runs in one day has caused many of the fans to believe that the lively ball Is still doing business. • • • In the games that I have umpired so far this year it has seemed to me that the standard of the balls has varied considerably. e e e In some games I would reach the conclusion that the ball In use was far inferior to the ball of last year from the standpoint of carrying qualities. Batters apparently would meet the ball on the nose, and yet the ball wouldn’t carry. Bails that started as It bent on clearing the stands would, resolve themselves Into easy outs.

In other games exactly opposite conditions would prevail. Every time a player met the Hall it would ueem to carry. The ball would remind you of the lively article in use last season. • • • There aro two possible solutions for the orgy of home rung that Is now featuring major league play. One is the late spring that has retarded the work of the pitchers. The other may be attributed to the fact that two types of balls arc breaking luto the early spring games. * • League clubs buy their baseballs by the gross. A club often gets from five to twenty-five gross at one time. It is just possible that some clubs still have left over from last year the 1921 brand. • • • Then again consideration must be given to the grounds on which the home runs are being made. It Is not a difficult matter to pull a ball into the rightfiel 1 stands at the Polo Grounds, In New Y'ork. The right-field bleachers at St. Louis are a trifle farther, but many a towering fly that is good for a home run at St. Louis would te an out on a great many other parks. * • • Baseball fans like home runs, but can be overfed on them. Too many such drives cheapen the value of the circuit wallop. lam inclined to think the homerun clip will ease up considerably within the next month.

Leonard Can y t Keep Tendler Off After Friday Night's Go Lew Wallops Dundee and Shows Class—Fitz Says He Has 'Em Matched. Ay HENRY FARRELL. NEW CORK. May 6.—Perhaps It Isn't so much because he Is a money grabber that Benny Leonard doesn't like Lefty I-ew Tendler. In doing everything but knocking Johnny Dundee cold In fifteen rounds last night, the Philadelphia southpaw showed that he cun do more with his dukes than pick up forfeits and win decisions on the typewriter. Leonard has done about a dozen numbers with the bouncing Dundee and he never did maul up the Italian the way Tendler did last night. The Philadelphia graduate of the newsboys' borne didn't knock Dundee out, but In weathering the worst storm he has encountered In his career the Italian added the last chapter to a record or Doing the grunest, toughest fighter In the ring. After seeing the performance of his two “logical opponents." the lightweight champion might be pardoned for thinking up a lot of other things that Tendler has said about him as reasons why he should not fight him. Ull hig form last night Tendler has a right to go Into court to get a bout with Leonard, charging restraint of traue or some other technical grounds*. He has every right to demand a chance for the title; Ar 135 pounds the champion would have the time of his young life keeping sway from the shower of gloves tbat fell on Dundee last night like a cloudburst from the first round. Leonard hasn't the endurance or the strength of Dundee to , withstand such a terrific body attack, and it Is no slight on Leonard to say that he hasn't the heart of Dundee, because no tighter in the ring has one like It. ! ih, the other hand, Tendler could never take Leonard's right on the chin where Dundee landed several times. However, It must be reckoned that Tendler might have been careless against Dundee, knowing the Italian to have nothing behind his kicks, and he might have been leaving an ope .Ing Intentionally to draw Dundee in to him. Flovd Fitzsimmons says the Leonard- i Tendler bout is all set for Michigan City on July 4.

EASTERN TEAMS FEAR WEST IN TRACK EVENTS* California, Champion of 1921, Again Entered in Intercollegiate Meet. ILLINOIS SQUAD STRONG By HENRY’ FARRELL. NEW YORK, May 6.—Pronounced mumbles sounding like “You're in for the grand sock’’ are moving Eastward from the West. After several industrious seasons proving Eastern football supremacy is a myth the Westerners are preparing to continue their demonstrations in track and rowing. N The East is about willing now to concede the track and field crown of the year to the West and the main hope is to keep the impending defeat from becoming a rout. California, the champions of 1321, will move on the “intercollegiates” again this year, accompanied by a powerful ally in Stanford to uphold the reputation of the “Native Sons.” Illinois, Chicago and Ohio State probably will carry the colors of 'he Western Conference and a fev> representatives of the South are expected to fall in line and mop up what is left by the first waves. Middle Western universities were planning on giving the Easter championships a bouncing boycott this year because the Eastern colleges turned up their noses last summer and refused to compete in the National intercollegiates at Chicago. Instead of staying away as firs* planned, every team in the Middle WesH with a chance of taking a fall out of the East will hop the train and set out for what they figure a sweeter comebock to the artistoeraey. California and Stanford are known powers. It is doubtful if any single team in the East will be able to boat either. In the Drake reiays, Illinois looked all-powerful and Ohio Stale looked to be formidable for several events wild the squad that represented the Buckeye institution at the Penn relays. Notre Dame also has a fine team. While the East is ready to accept the penalty on the track, there is some Inclination to scoff at the presumption of Washington in intimating that the crew which beat California for the Pacific championship is destined to take away the honors at Poughkeepsie.
