FIRST VISIT OF HENS HERE Toledo Team Opens Series at Tribe Park—lndians ft Trim Senators. The Toledo Hens were in town today for their first visit of the season hete. The boys from the banks .if the Maumee have been kicking up some dust re.-euily am! a warm serins is promised at Washington l’ark while they are ill action with the Indians. The Hens are carrying a number of aew men this season, the latest addition being Outfielder I-.ee King, who threatens to become one of the league’s lead*ng sluggers. The Hen infield has been jnade over and the faus will be interesting in seeing some of this new talent perform. The Tribesmen sent the Senators on their way Yesterday to the tune of 7 to 4. Hurry Weaver , pposed Jake Nor’area on the mound and good hitting by iis Tiilte mates, combined with a shaky defense on the oart of the visitors, enabled Harry to cop the afternoon's honors. The Senators simply blew up in '■ertain parts, especially at short, where M. Shannon had four miaeues, chiefly on i.ttempts to throw to first base. In the three previous contests the Co!u:n‘>us team appeared superb in the fielding department, but apparently yesterday was the Senators' day to crack, and crack they did. The fourth inning. In which the Indians scored five runs, was the big event of the day. In that stanza M. Shannon had three miscues, booting one grounder and throwing low to first base on two other chances. Center Fielder Todt also contributed an error by dropping Schreiber’s sacrifice fly. The sum total of the half inning showed the Indians with five runs scored on two bits and fiTe errors. One of the hits was bu Krueger and It was a mighty sock beyond the flag pole. The ball bounded all the way to the fence corner ir center field and was the longest inside-the park drive of the season at Washington Park. Os the Indians' nine hits. Sicking got three and Brown two. Baird opened up the batting for the Indians by cracking out a triple the first time up. Sicking drove him In immediately. While making numerous errors, M Shannon did not forget how to bat and he got himself two singles. A peculiar play occurred In the eighth inning. With Weaver on first base. Baird hit a roller to M. .-hannon. Shannon made the eustomary throw to first and threw the bail low and wide. In the meantime Baird had and fallen Just after leaving the plate and he appeared to be an easy out. First Baseman Burrus did not see Baird fall and naturally thought he had crossed first the initial sack. In the meantime Weaver had reached second and was signalled by Manager Hendricks on the coaching line to continue running. Burrus saw Harry dashing for third and he let the ball fiy tor that spot without looking to see where Baird was. Pong had regained his feet and sprinted ' first. The ultimate result was that both run- ( ners were safe. Hill was slated to perform against the 1 Hens today. George Whitted. former big league outfielder of various teams, is the new manager of the Hens. The Hens hold a crowd record that gives Indianapolis something to ponder ever. The club returned home from a recent trip absolutely last and was greeted by an attendance of 9,000. The interest is in Indianapolis, but the push is lacking. Perhaps some people have forgotten how to reach Washington Park. Board West Washington street car and get off at the ball park. Ticket office immediately at park entrance. Class AA base ball played: near major league standard. In fact, some of the players are right on the brink of the big leagues and some may graduate suddenly unless their efforts here are not appreciated "toot sweet."

Billy Evans Says
Detroit Always Has Boasted of Sluggers
For years the Detroit Club has boasted of i's sluggers The Tigers' line-up always has included one or more players who have stood out prominently because of their ability to hit. Back in the old days there was Sam Thompson. How that baby could swat them! Sam is alive and we 1 still. Each year he takes a leatfing part in the opening day ceremonies at Detroit. When the American League came into existence liPtro.t was one of the cities of the Johnsonian circuit. That was more than a score of years ago. In the Detroit line-up was Crawford, know to baseball fans the country over as "Wahno Pam." Thar title was conferred upon him because lie hailed from the hamlet of Waboo. Neb. No player In the histo'y of baseball had more form at bat than Crawford His stance was perfect, his cut at tile ball tuo poetry of motion. Crawford was one of those hitters who looked good even when he was triklng out. Crawford was h natural swinger. He took a healthy cut at the ball. When he connected the sphere certainly traveled. I venture to say that Crawford, hail he Ida ed in toes • days of the lively ball, would be pushing Babe Ruth mighty hard for the home-run honors. As Crawford began to slow up as th" premier swatter of the Detroit Club, Claude Rossmun sprang into prominence. -1- -I- -I- -I- -I* -IRossman One of Greatest Batters Many of the veteran American League twirlers, who now have passed out of the picture, will tell you that Kossnian was one of the greatest batters they ever pitched to. Kossnian hit ’em on a line. Inability to throw, however, ranged his departure from the major leagues when he was at the top of his game as a hatter. When Kossman went to the minors, following in the wake of Crawford, there came to the Tigers from the bushers another great natural batsman, Bobby Veach. The Tiger outfielder is one of the few batsmen of the slugging typo still in the game. Regardless whe.ther the pitch Is a fast one, a curve, or a fadeaway. Veach takes the same healthy cut, the same follow through on every swing. While Veach Is at the top of his game right now. and probably has a number of good years ahead, he Is a veteran and there must come a time when he will begin to fall off in his batting. There is on the Detroit Club a youngster who has yet to win his spurs as a regular, ready to take the place of Veach as the Tigers' premier slugger. when Bob Is ready and willing to give up that honor. I have reference to Danny Clarke, late of Wichita Falls. Texas. Clarke Is being groomed for second base. He is.being used as an understudy to the veteran George Cutshaw. He has demonstrated already that he can hit. He is well above the .300 mark. In a pinch already he has broken up a number of ball games. The other day in a game at Philadelphia, with the score standing 5 to 2 in favor of the Athletics, Manager Cobb sent Clarke to bat in a pinch, with two on. All Clarke did was to hit the first ball pitched over the right field wall for a home run, tying the game. , Clarke is a natural batsman. He takes a free swing. The making of heme runs is nothing new to him. He wai the Babe Ruth of the Texas League l*st season. He made fifty, two-base hits, ten three baggers and nineteen home rsna. I Clarke bids fair to take a place la the hearts of the Detroit fans aa a slugger extraordinary. /

Buzukos-Reynolds Bout Tame Affair; Pete Shows No Pep
Jack Reynolds, welterwe’ght wrestler, won from Pete Buzukos, San Franc.sco. In their match at the Empire Theater last night The wresting fans who witnessed the match were disappointed. It was a poor exhibition of the mat game. It did not appear to be Reynolds' fault that the match did not please the crowd. It takes two to make a wrestling match. Buzukos didn't appear -to be wrestling after the first twenty minutes. He seemed to lack fight and the fl’st fall was won by Reynolds in easy style In 38'A minutes. Reynolds turned Buzukos over with a half nelson that ended in an armloek and the Greek was down. Had he shown the tight that took him out of close places early in the match, Buzukos should have easily escaped from the hold applied by Jack. Buzukos returned to the mat ail apparently defeated man. He escaped being pinn and with a headlork by bridging, but four minutes after the call of time he gave up when Reynolds applied a leg lock. There was a semi-windup that was r.-a'ty worth while, for the wrestling fans saw H. M. Mullendore, in action. He .. a lightweight wrestler who lives on a farm near Franklin. When a member of the Purdue wrestling team he won the Conference college championship for three years, never losing a fall. Russell Schrader of Cedar Rapids, lowa, was no match for the speedy Iloosler and Mullendore won the first fall in nine minutes and the second fall In one tnlnute and thirty seconds. Harry Rose in n slow match defeated "Red" Cohn one fail and Cohn forfeited the second fall.

LEONARD BOUT IN NEW YORK Welterweight Go With Britton May Be Real Scrap if Held in Goiham p BY DAVIS J. WALSH. NEW YORK, June 6.—Because the wary fish have failed to nibble at tne bait, the bout between Benny Leonard and Jack Britton is almost certain to be transferred fro-m Its present site at Boyle's Thirty-acres, Jersey City, to the New York Vel<.drome. In this way. the tempo of the affair will be change from s no-decision buek-and-wing to a twolisted bout for the world's welterweight title. The eminent Mr. Rickard will essay no remarks on the subject for a day or two, at least, but bis mental comptometer is slowly forcing him to the inevitable conclusion that a crowded house, at the Velodrome at so much per head, is worth more than high prices and empty seats at Jersey City. The public will not patronize another Leonard-Brltton canter where decisions are taboo. Although the proposed change will give him a man's size shot at the welterweight title. It Is understood that Leonard himself is holding up the shift. Brit<on Is said to be willing, so is Rickard, but Leonard and Gibson are diffident. They look on the bout, not as a serious attempt to dethrone Britton, but as a Jersey City proposition, whereby the Leonard-Gibson coffers might be replenished with a minimum of effort. Ths bout, under these conditions, would have ! been a conditioner for the lightweight championship renewal with Rocky Kansas. July 4, and the vastly Interesting encounter with Lew Tendler, July 20. In other words. Leonard has no stomach for three hard bouts within a of a month and hence would fight Brifl ton In Jersey City or not at all. However, the realization that Jersey City is proving a financial “dud” as far as Leonard and Britton are concerned it Is likely to make the lightweight champion look with greater favor upon the proposed change. He has little to fear from the punchless Britton nnd need only cor fine his attention to the matter of outpeinting the aged Jack to come into the welterweight championship. YVe think he can do just that Pros and Amateurs in Tourney at Riverside The thirty-six hole golf tourney under the auspices of the newly organized Indiana Professional Golfers' Association got under way this morning at the Riverside links.
