Sandlotters Are All Set for Another Busy Week-End of Baseball

Brookside Odd Fellows, City Champs Last Year, Again Loom Strong—Real Si Ik Has Classy Battery in Schmutte and O’Cain. By VEDDER GAIN) The second round of the city amateur baseball leagues’ schedules will be played Saturday afternoon at the various park diamonds. Some of the teams which found out that they were not quite up to the staudard of the other nines in the organizations following last Saturday's games, already are strengthening up for the remainder of the schedule.

, The Brookside Odd Fellows, of the Fraternal League, city champs of last year, again seem to have one cf the best clubs in Indianapolis with most of their old players back in the fold. The De Molays will get stronger as the season advances, with high school and college players to draw from. The De Molays of necessity are all under 21 years of age, but nevertheless that club Is the one which looks at present most liable to give the Odd Fellows a run in the Fraternal loop. Prest-o-Lite Looks Good Prest-o-Lite, In the Commercial, has a good club, with Benny Flagler as captain and the Snyder brothers In line-up. Prest-o-Lite Company is backing the team strongly and plenty of rooters are following the team’s chances. They had one of the largest crowds on opening day. FairbanksMcrse, in this ’oop. does not look as strong as in past years. Citizen's Gas and Bemis Bag are coming to the front. The Lilly and Prest-o-Lite game this week should be Interesting The Industrial League has plenty of pepper this year with anew team, the American Central Life, furnish ing some added zest for the six club organization. The Crscent Paper and Real Silk contest has the earmarks of a feature tilt Saturday. The Real Silk team has one of the best batteries -in the Saturday leagues ir. Schmutte, pitcher, and O'Cain, catcher. The left-handed hurler turned in a nohit game last week. The Big Sir League is made up of a number of new teams. It is an encouraging sign to see new faces and names along with the “old guard’’ of sand-lotters. The Big Six is a grand mixture of teams with an industrial plant, a bank, a Masonic organization. two railroad teams and an insurance company in one group. Sunday Schools Ready The four Sunday School Leagues are ready to put forth their best es forts in Class A. There are a number of real diamond performers scattered throughout the loops and the class of ball Is improving steadily. The Broadway team won the city tt title last year In Its class. First Baptist will give the S. S. teams a run for their money. Woodruff Place also looks fairly good. The church leagues in some instances do not have as well-balanced races because some of the teams far outclass their weaker competitors. It’s the great American game and there will be forty eight league tilts going on in Indianapolis Saturday. Play ball' Wrestling Card Complete The wrestling card of the Pivot A. C. to be staged at Tpmlinson Hall next Tuesday night was completed today by the signing of .Tack Marsh to meet Sam Davis, local Greek, in the curtain raiser to the Jack ReynoldsJohnny Meyers bout.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRIBE CONTINUES ON SHORT END OF COLUMBUS GAMES Will our Indians be as low in September as they are in May? Well. It’s a cinch they won’t be lower. If the athletes suddenly would take a spurt, even a short sprint, the fans would feel elated. The rooters are wild to have something to cheer abouc Daily defeats are becoming painful. Jay Kirke is sadly missed at the bat and at first base, but Jay can’t be present for some time to come and if the team can’t win without him the occupancy of the cellar appears to be the Tribe’s resting place the remainder of May unless new talent is obtained. The Indians took another jolt at the hands of the Senators Thursday. The score was 6 to 4. Three errors and a couple of dull plays crept into the affair to help the visitors annex the honors. Spud Campbell, one of the Tribe cripples, returned to the line-up. and he performed creditably with the ex ceptlon of permitting a run (o score by allowing a swinging bunt to go unmolested in the second inning. He had 5 assists. 2 putouts, poked 2 hits and stole a base. Petty opened on the mound for the Indians, and he was not np to standard. Four of the six runs scored off him were earned and two were helped around by errors. Seib pitch ed the lag three Innings and allowed only one hit. Sanders twirled for Columbus, and he was only fairly effective. Davis, third base, starred again in the field and at the bat. Sicking fielded well for the Indians He helps defend first base now as well as second. < 'atcher Krueger is doing the best he can as a substitute for Kirke at the Initial sack, but he is not familiar with ev er> thing that comes up during the course of a game at that position. Fourth game of the series today. It was believed Harry Weaver, former Indian, would twirl for the Senators. Pug Cavet was due for the Tribe. This was "ladies’ day." The Colurn bus boys are here again Saturady, after which Toledo will move in. BENEFIT GAME FOR RILEY FUND A benefit game, proceeds to go to the Riley Hospital fund, will h<* played Saturday afternoon between the Penney Grays and the “Me and Sarah” Club at the Pennsy Park on E Maryland St. The game will bcalled at 3 p. m. The Indianapolis Police Departmen* Band and the Indianapolis East Wash lr.gton Street Pennsylvania Shop Bind will play. Refreshments ill be served on the grounds.

Wear tailoring Not Merely Clothes

A suit made to “fit” anybody will not fit you correctly. There isn't another body in the whole world shaped exactly like yours. Only individual tailoring will render you a correct fit. The tailoring—the fit and the workmanship—comprises practically all there is to an effective-looking suit of clothes. So, after all, the thing you buy at a tailor shop is the thing you don’t see until your suit is made. Selecting pattern and style is of small consequence in the building of a tailor-made suit.

ALL-WOOL Made-to-Measure SUITS

DomhW MM? IjyMlyfSSns Questions ONE—If * fielder has the ball in his pos session ready to touch a base runner, and after so doing, the ball is deliberately knocked out of his hands by the runner, what is the proper decision: TWO —If a runner on first, believing that a ily ball is not going to be caught, starts to advance and has nearly reached third base when the fielder makes the catch does the I throwing of the ball to second base before he can get back there, double him up? THREE—If. after a batted ball goes through an inflelder, a base runner in the opinion of the umpire, deliberately kicks l such a hit ball, what Is the proper ruling? FOUR—If there are less than two men out and a runner on third, and the batsman interfere with a play at the plate on such runner, who is called out? Answers ONE—The runner should be called out for such an act. TWO—In order to properly make the play, the runner should either be touched with the ball, or It should be thrown to the base he occupied when the ball he occupied when the ball was hit. and in this instance it was first THREE—The base runner should be called out for interference FOUR—The runner coming home from third should be called out for the batter's Interference with less than two out. ALL READY FOR MILE EVENT With the entry list swelled to twen-ty-three ears by four late entries, the seventy five-mile race at the Hoosier Motor Speedway is just about ready for the starter's flag on Saturday afternoon.

Mark This Printing presses in Germany will get hot boxes turning out German marks if the three Mercedes cars entered in the annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway sweep the field May 30. according to dope compiled by Indianapolis race fans. Marks were quoted at 40,000 to the dollar in international exchange today. Should the Mercedes cars land first, second and third places and lead the race from first to last they would win about SBO,OOO in prize money, lap prizes and accessory bonuses. This would amount to 3,200,000,000 marks.

SMITH SUGGESTS RILEY FOND BAY League Game Receipts Would Be Donated to Hospital. Vice President Smith of the Indians is considering a proposition to offer the city of Indianapolis a chance to boost the Riley Hospital Fund by attending a regularly scheduled American Association bali game at Washington Park in June or later. According to Smith’s plan, a day would be set aside as “Ryey Hospital day” and all receipts donated to the children's hospital fund with thp exception of a small share deducted for the visiting team. The Indianapolis ball club would not share in the re celpts. Civic organizations could take hold of an event of tills kind and make it a winning proposition by appointing ticket captains and have the city canvassed. The plan has tremendous possibilities. Walker Retains Title flv United Press CHICAGO, 111.. May 5. —Mickey Walker retained the welterweight title here last night in a whirlwind'fight with Morris Bohlaifer of Omaha.

KniKvtf by , piio n ! Pla.vr in trying to get out of a sand I trap, drives the ball into the bunker with ! great force. The ball rebound* from the | bunker and nestles in the sweater pocket of the player who did the driving. One of the players humorously contends that the ; sweater should be removed, placed on the I ground as near as possible to the spot where the ball was and the ball be driven ; from the sweater pocket. What would be | the proper procedure in this unusual happening? The player has a perfect right to remove ' the hall from the sweater pocket and drop 1 It. being penalized one stroke. • * * Two players after driving from the tee lose their ball. A foursome is waiting at the tee to get away. The players who had lost their ball signal the players following ; them to play through. Just as the first ; nlayer of the foursomo is ready to drive. | both players find their lost ball. What should be done in the matter? After hating signaled the other players to ooine through, they must wait until the foursome passes them, regardless of the fact that they discovered the lost halls before any one had driven from, the tee.

Portland, Ore., on the playoff of their tie for first honors yesterday. The score was Ouimet, 77; Willing. 78.
