BIG TEN MAY SEE MARKS GO IN TRACK MEET Games Friday and Saturday Expected to See Conference Records Take Tumble. N. D. STARS ENTERED CHICAGO. Jnne I.—Folio-win* the an nouueement that watchers which register tenths of seconds will he used bv tuners at the annual trauk and field games of the Western Conference at lov City tomorrow and Saturday, records which l.ave eto'd attacks of at: 'C'es for years mav be broken. , . Back in 1903 Clyde Blair of Chicago was the first Big Ten sprinter to run 100 yards la 3*9 4-5, which Is the present record. In 1908, W. W. May. of Illinois tied the mark, as did F. T. ard of Chicago In 1915 and Bill Hayes of Notre Dame In 1919. On nearly every other occasion the final of the century has been won la even time. SPEED BOY'S IN THE CLNTVRY. With Hayes of Notre Dame, Ayres of Illinois, Paulu of Grinnell, Spetz of Wisconsin, Burke of Michigan, Maddox of Purdue, Konrad of Indiana, Wllsou of lowa, and other who have done better than ten seconds this spring, entered In the century, the old murk may bo beaten by a tenth of a second. J. A. Leconey of Lafayette clipped a tenth >f a second off the Eastern Intercollegiate record last Saturday and with favorable conditions the Western conference murk may suffer the same fate. There is little probability that Hubert Simpson's Big Ten record of :14 3 5 for the 120 yard high hurdles will be broken. The same is true of the 220-yard low barriers. Simpson also hoMs this record at ;22 4 5, made over a straight coarse. Archie Hahn, one of the greatest sprinters ever developed at Michigan, established a Conference record cf :21 3-5 for 220 yards back In 1903. F. T. Ward of Chicago tied the record in 1915. In the 1976 games C. B. Smith of Wlscon sin tied the mark and Jack Scholz of Missouri equaled the record In 1929 This mark will also be in danger, as the same field of fliers who will try to shatter the century mark will attempt to break the furlong record. QCAKTER MILE MARK TO STAND. The Conference record of :!7 2-6 for the quarter mile, by Blnga Dlsmoud, the colored runner of Chicago, in 1910, should not be broken. Disiuond made his record around one turn and the ame sorr of course which will be used in this year's meet. Ira Davenport of Chlcag" holds the qnarter-mtle record around two turns. He stepped the distance in :48 4 5 back in 1910. The record for the half-mile Is 1:531-5 and was made by D. M. Scott of the Mississippi Aggies in 1915. It is hardly probable this record will be smashed, although Eddie Fall s mark of 4:15 4-5 for the mile may be approached Pull made his record In 1917 when he attended Oberlin. The two-mile record is 9 :29 55. and was made by C. J. Stout of Chicago In 191 C. Goldsberry Hurls Wabash to Victory Over Purdue CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind . June 1 Goldsberry proved too strong fur the Purdue batters here Wednesday and permitted only three hits. Wabash winning by a3to 0 score Wallace was on the mound for the Boilermakers and pitched good ball after the first two innings, when the Scarlet made all their runs The first run came as the result of McRobert's double, a sacrifice and Schanlaub's single. In the second frame Mount tripled, Gullett singled, scoring him, and got around himself on a sacrifice, a fielder's choice and a grounder to short. Friday the two teams hook up at Purdue. Phillips will pitch for Wabash, with Goldsberry doing the twirling Saturday against Butler at Indianapolis.

Billy Evans Says

During my seventeen years in the major leagues I have seen a number of unusual plays. It has been my good fortune to witness triple and di/üble plays unassisted. Likewise I have seen double plays made in muny freak ways. I once saw Derrlll Pratt of the New fYorlt club literally drop kick a double play. He overran the ball slightly and before lie could get hla hands down, his right foot had come into contact with the bail. Derrlll Pratt was with New York at the time. Roger Peckinpaugh. playing short for the Yankees, ran over to second to take the throw, as a run was on first at the time aud the hit and run was on. Instead of throwing the ball, however, Pratt kicked it for a perfect field goal into the waiting hands of Peckinpaugh as be stood on second, thereby forcing the runner at that base. A fast suappy throw to first retired the batsman. It .. _s a freak double play if there ever was one. I will never forget it. However, in a game at Philadelphia recently. I saw a perfectly executed double rlay in which the pitcher did most of the execution. In all my career I have never seen its like. A description of the play will show Its 'unusual features. Detroit was the opposing team. Dn Blue, the fleet firat aacker of tho Tigers.

The big laugh caine when it was reported he couldn't hit a low bail. “I hope the pitchers get to thinking that way. I don’t know of anything 1 like better than a low ball. Give me plenty and I 11 put most of them out of the yard,’’ Path said. Ruth is a .Ittle peeved at the fans. He thinks they should give him a better break and allow him to get his eye back before they start crowning him with the wreath of raspberries.

had reached the Initial sack. Cobb was at the hat. He flashed the hit and run sign, and Blue was off with the pitch. Cobb lashed a sizzling grounder between second and first, which Doc Johnston, playing first for the Athletics, i barely grazed. It slowed the hall up a trifle, however, and deflected It in the direction of Pep Yotii.,' at second. Now for the big thrill of the pmv. Moore, from his pitching position, dashed over to cover first base. When Johnston merely grazed the ball no play seemed possible, but Moore continued oil his way to first. Young recovered tho ball In short right field, and by-a grmt throw to Moore, who covered first, nipped Uw fleet Cobb by inches. In the meantime Blue was dashing madly for third. Most pitchers would have been content to get Cobb and forget about Blue, but not Moore. Pivoting on the bag, as he received the throw from Young, Moore wheeled In the direction of third and by a beautiful throw to Jimmy Dykes got Blue at that base by a scant margin. It !■ the first time In my career that I have ever seen a pitcher act as the pivot man In a double play, that started at first and finished at third. Another remarkable feature Is that two fleet runners like Cobb and Blue should be the victims.

“It's a big Job and I wouldn’t put any bets upon It. Maybe I will hit forty and maybe I will get more than last year. I'm out there trying all the time. They'ro pitching to me now, but when I get going they'll walk me plenty aud make uie hit at bad balls. “Nobody has kept records on how many bad balls I have to hit. They give me low balls, high balls, slow curves, and fast ones—once in a while. The most 1 get is bad balls and I have to go out after. "I ain't worrying about home nuns. All I want to do Is to start hitting. When the old eye comes back I will get started and then I am not sure where 1 am going to end. “I don’t think I can bent last year’s record because I came In flat-footed when the pitchers were all off to a running start. You can't get your eye back in a week or two when you’ve been away for six weeks. “Os course, I want to hit sixty homers this year, but I’ll call it n good year if I get forty and if 1 get the chance I’ll knock forty off low balls that they say is my groove."

INDIANA DAILY TIMES

SENATORS NEXT ON TRIBE CARD After Closing With Colonels Today, Indians Will Take on Columbus. Winding tip their series with the Louisville Colonels today, the Indians ! next will entertain the Columbus Sena* ■ tors at Washington Park, the visit of tho | Buckeye outfit starting tomorrow, j In the contest at the ball yard this ; afternoon Jonnard was scheduled t<> do | the flinging and the Indians were keenIly desirous of taking the gang from I across the Olio Into camp. The Colonels won the edge in the series by winning a thriller yesterday, 4 to 3, and the Ilendricksmen were out to even up the count today. There was much strife st the bffll park during the conflict yesterday. Field Umpire Mullin had a bad day and during arguments with Tribe inflelders Tex Covington was baristied by the official and later Manager Hendricks was given the gate. Mullin seemed to be carrying a chip on his should-r and this attitude finally resulted iri trouble. He was having a hard day on decisions at first and both tennis questioned some of hi* verdicts. Added to the fuss with the .umpire, the Tribesmen also iu-d an off day in the fidd, coib.n+ttitig four errors Ilehg also got a bad start in left field by misjudging a fly In the sun and the Colonels got their first run through that break. The Colonels scored their other three in the fifth, the inning In which Covington hnd the run-in with the umpire. The '1 ribes men got one marker in the foiirtu and two In the ninth, their last-minute rally nearly giving them the game. Ben Tincup sated the contest fur the Colonels by relieving Cullup. The decided feature of the contest was the making of eight double plays, five bv tho Indiana unJ three tv the Colonels. This Is unusual for one game of regulation Innings and it Is believed to be a re.ord for tlie American Association. It was a tough game for Harry Weaver to lose. The Colonels got only six hits while the Indians got ten. That fifth Inning spilled the beans. In the ninth frsme IVearer walked three straight batters with none out, but he cot out of the hole. Cullop hit tuto a double pluy and Krueger, playing first i base in place of Coving.on, got Acosta on a bounder. Weaver pitched only four times In the first Inning and four ha'ters faced him. Acosta hit the first one for a sun burnt triple, Betzel filed out to Brown on the first ball thrown him. Massey singled to right, scoring Acosta, on the first delivery sent his way and Klrke hit Into r double play the instant he stepped to the plate. Eddie Brown cracked a home run over the b>w left field fence In the fourth. The ball took one hop aud over It went. It was fiercely driven. Leo Dixon finally broke Info the lineup nnd lie surprised the fans by getting jbit. Maybe he has cnnglit the spirit Am Krueger. When Covington was Vanished Krueger was shift'd to first base and Dixri went behind the hat. When Ben Tlricup relieved Cullop In the ninth Inning he certainly used some speed In this Inning the Tribesmen tried desperately to win. Baird, first up, singled. Uehg was tossed out by Cullop atid Dixon singled, Baird stopping at third. Brown singled Baird home. Dixon going to third Leo made a great run and slide, Tlncup relieved Cullop at Ibis point and Tim up walked Krueger. Sehrelber grounded out to Betzel, Dixon scoring. Eddie Sicking fuutied and tho fun was over. Brown made s fins catch of Klrke's foul in the eighth The bull came down near the right field bleacher gate and Brown crashed into the fence after making the catch. j The Indians' three runs were earned \ while only one of the Colonels' four markers was earned and that was a goods affair scored In the first Inning when Acosta got a triple ' on a drive that should have been caught. S Yea, bo, it sure was a tough on# to lose. Tug Caret became manager for the | day when both Manager Hendricks and j Captain Covington wets removed from the afternoon's pasttmiog. All games will tie called at $ o’clock again until further notice.

Bing Miller Puts Athletics in Race , Says Yank Owner Fence Buster's Hitting Chief Reason for Mack's Climb, According to Huston. BY DAVID J. WALSH. NEW YORK, June 1. —Although skeptics still abound In plentiful numbers, the I’hlladelphia Athletics cun take consolation from the fact that they have “sold'' themselves to one man whose opinions are worth slightly more than a dime a dozen. He Is Col. T. L. Huston, vice president of the New York Yankees, who will tell any button hole maker in the audience that the Athletics are a ball club. “It looks to me as though Connie has what he has been shooting for these last seven years," the Colonel declared (odny. “I will admit that I thought the Athletics were Just flashing when they started to win games with some regularity in the early weeks of tho season. But I have hud to revise my estimate. Thu Athletics of 3922 have proved themselves a real ball club." Just what has worked this transformation In a team that has been a hopeless tall-ender for seven seasons? The writer had his own opinion on the subject, but was anxious to get the Colonel's viewpoint. It was short and snappy like an actor's overcoat. “lling Miller.” We were somewhat surprised, having braced our Journalistic feet for a lengthy dissertation upon the addition of “Pep” Young and “Doc'’ Johnston to the infield defense, the pitching of Rommell, Heimach, Harris, Hasty, Moore and others, and the consequent Improvement In team morale. “That stnff all helped, of course," quoth the Colonel. ‘‘Getting Young and Johnston allowed Connie to shoot Dykes to the left side of the infield, which was veryweak, and certainly the pitchers have carried the club over some rough spots, but Mack has fooled ns all because he guessed right on two-ball players and one of the mis Miller. "We thought he had made a bad deal when he gave tip Dugan for Miller and Acosta but what player could he get more valuable than a man who net only bolstered a rather weak outfield defense, but who hit .41X3 for the first six Weeks of the season and whose home runs to date total twelve. I regard Miller ns the main answer to tho present position of the Athletics,"

Ewing of Technical Blanks Manualites With Only One Hit East Steers’ Pitching Ace Keeps Up Sensational Work in 7 to 0 Victory. The Technical baseball teem howeu real championship class Wednesday in defeating Manual at Riverside Park b.v a score of 7 to 0. The Green ana White played perfect ball behind tile sensational pitching of Ewing, the east aiders' hurling ace. Ewing, who lmg been making a remarkable showing on the mound, kept up hls great record Wednesday, holding the South siders to uue lone blngle, an infield hit that was beaten out. lie struck out sixteen of the Manualites. liarmeson, the Red and White firs! sackcr, was the only man to flnti Ewing for a blow. He beat out a hit to Mills at short on a bail hit between third ami short. Milis bandied the tall cleanly, but threw to first on a long hop. The first baseman picked the ball up, but “Hartny” beat the peg. A stronger throw would have meant a co-hit contest for the Tech star. Ewing's speed and control are the main requisites of his success. He ns.-s his fast hall continually with almost perfect control. He is calm aud collected In the box and mixes his curve in with splendid Judgment. ILs free, easy pitching motion keeps him as fresh in the later innings as at the start. Manual is not a team of weak hitters by any means, and Ewing's twirling against them can not he praised too highly. Tochnnal has not lost a game this season. The team knows more baseball than the average high school club, has splendid spirit, and plays wilh a dash and confidence bred of winning. With Ewing going at his best it looks like a team that will be hard to beat In high school circles. Coach Kingsolver has molded a nine that is much credit to him. In Wednesday's game Tech scored once in the firm as the result of two extra base, hits that were played badly in the out- j field. Another run rnme over In the: tourth on hits and errors and two more; were scored In the sixth. Barker pitched fair bull for Manual, but received none' too good support. Two runs were counted as the result of passed balls. The work! back of the bat was not conducive to i good pitching. The big Tech inning came In the sev-i enth when three runs crossed the plate.' Barker's own wildness was the main I cause of his downfall in this Inning He hit two batsmen and walked another. They all finally scored, two coming In when Sehetters grounded to Snowball. Mills pulled a pretty piece of baserunning when he scored from second with a nice slide to the plate. Jordan s single scored the other runner. Schultze caught a swell game for Tech, holding Ewing up In splendid shape. Gordon and Adkins led with the stick, the former getting two blows and the latter three. Tobin Draws Suspension ST. LOUIS, June 3.—Right Fielder Tobin of the St. Louis Americans was given notice of an indefinite suspension Wednesday afternoon by Umpire Owens, as a result of an altercation during Tuesday's game with the Detroit Tigers.
