MUSICAL cash registers of the chain-store major league baseball parks, mute and rusty snce last autumn, wll now resume their merry pealing and will hush the cries of business strife which their owners have raised all winter. There is a subtle, soothing quality in the music of the cash registers which causes the baseball magnate to tilt his brown derby back on his vertebrae, loosen the top buttons of his vest and purr like a tomcat by a kitchen range. The cash registers of the National League struck the first glad chorda today In four cities —Boston. Cincinnati, Chicago and Brooklyn. The crescendo will ring out. wild and joyout on Wednesday, when the American League turnstiles are unveiled in four other cities —New York. Cleveland, St. Louis and Philadelphia.

TRIBE HUSTLES TO BE PREPARED FOR GALA EVENT

; Chesty Colonels Coming Here Heavily Supported— Tigers Win Easily. By EDDIE ASH After closing its Arctic League sea- ' son Monday by losing to the Detroit Tigers, 8 to 1. the Indians settled down today on their last lap of train ing preparatory' to opening the American Association season at Washington Park Thursday. The Louisville Colonels will be the visiting team in the grand start here, and as per usual the Blue Grass boys are threatening much damage to Tribe hopes. Be that as It may, everything points to a bitter battle at the ball park Thursday. The Colonels are coining heavily! supported by Louisville baseball boost ers and there Is sun* to be some hot stuff rooting during the opening tilt. Louisville and Indianapolis traded first basemen since last season and the performance of Covington and Kirke I Mill be watched with keen interest. Coming in Specials Two special trains will bring the! Bluegrass delegation of about 300 fans. One train will arrive at 11:30 j a m. with 175 Elks, including a band and drill team. At 11:45 train No. 2 will arrive with about 200 f ins, headed by the Louisville mayor, Houston Quinn, accompanied by his wife. The Louisville chief executive and wife will be guests of “Me and Sarah” at the game. John B. Orman, chairman of the reception committee, and a group of twenty-five representative Indianapolis citizens will meet the southern party at the trains with autos and endeavor to prove that Hoosier hospitality is on an equal plane with the Kentucky brand. The Louisville fans will parade in the big opening day j demonstration. An Inter-City Much credit is due Harold Hampton, chairman of the inter-city committee, for his efforts in bringing the Ijouls ville crowd to the opener. The Exchange Club of Louisville, which has its weekly meeting on Thursday, will hold its regular session at the Lincoln Hotel here. All of the local club secretaries are requested to report the percentage of their membership represented in the parade and at the game to one of the

But getting back to the Detroit ex hibitlon Monday. It was bitter cold, but the athletes gamely went through with It. Until the seventh inning the affair was well fought, but in that ses sion Bartlett went kiting and Detroit scored six runs in the one stanza. The Tigers had counted twice in the fifth and the romp they staged in the seventh gave them a total of eight markers. The Indians' lone run was scored in the ninth. Local Product Performs George Dauss, an Indianapolis home-grown pitcher, opened on the firing line for the Tigers and Jess Petty for the Tribe. Honors wore even and neither team scored in the four innings Dauss and Petty performed. It was a different story thereafter, how-

ever. Bartlett and C’avet toiled the late Innings for the home club and Moore and Holloway for the big leaguers. The Tigers did not score dff Cavet. Ty Cobb used his first string liue-up and he held down center field. Lou Blue got a home run In the seventh with two mates on the sacks. The homer was driven to deep left center. The veteran Cutshaw handled twelve chances at second without a bobble. Indianapolis' hits were few. six being the totaj. Brown got two. Campbell two, Chrlstenbury one and Purcell one. Tyrus Raymond Cobb. Tiger manager, played center field for eight innings and got two hits. The Georgia Peach was frost bitten by the nintli and he gave way to Fothergill. Clarence Schott, local rookie, played tn Jay Klrke's position the first six innings. A few more games played under the brand of weather that prevailed Monday and the fielders would be using Ice hooks in place of gloves. The Indians have sold Catcher Lees to Toledo. He was obtained from Columbus In a winter trade, but did not report to the Tribe. ■With the exception of Milwaukee, the Western clubs of the American Association appear to have the edge oven the Eastern teams. Baseball doeiy't always run to form, however. It i a game of dope upsets.

KmKvol IHCWS In making some changes near the green the soli is rendered very soft. After a hard rain it has become so sloppy that a ball striking such a spot will either wholly or partially bury itself. Is it possible to loosen the ball from the hole it has dug fqr itself by lifting it. and replacing it in the hole'.' Two rulings are possible in such a situation. If play is under U. S. G. A. rules ihe player may lift the ball and drive again from where the stroke was made, merely losing stroke and distance. Under the \V. G. A. rules the ball may be lifted and dropped without penalty, the ball being regarded in casual water. Playing a second shot the bajl lands on the wrong green. Must the ball be played from the green or can it be lifted and dropped without penalty? Once again there are two possible rulings. The rules of the U. S. G. A, make it compulsory' to play the ball from the lie on the wrong green. Under W. G. A. rules the player can lift the ball and drop it off such green without penally.
