SCHMUTTE PITCHES ONE-HIT GAME PREST-O-UTES LOOK GOOD RUBE WILBUR HITB ’EM PLENTY OF RAZZBERRIES

GOOD. bad. and indifferent —That describes the various brands of ball one sees in the Saturday leagues. A glove, a baseball and a bat are emblems of dash and vim—the indifferent can not be excused. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but those ieams that made dozens of runs felt the chill breeze of evening before they were through. Supper tasted just that much better. Schmutte of the Real Silk team kept up his sensational pitching. For six innings he continued his no-hit twirling against the Crescent Paper club then Tommy Teller lined out a clean sharp hit single to center. Tommy did a dance on first and Schmutte only smiled. One hit in two games is the southpaw's record. Bader, a clever third sacker. also looks good at first for the Real Silks. Benny Fultz when he went into the box Saturday bad plenty on the ball, but his support was wobbly. Benny smiled when the umps called some bad ones, but he was "sore'' just the same. The bases are there to touch. Many of the players don’t seem to know It—neither do the umpires. Huhn, lb: French, 2b; 06bome. ss; SteJnfelt, 3b. Pretty good! It’s the Odd Fellows infield layout. The team is stronger than ever, if anything. Lrng Boy Comstock was snapping them over Saturday. He throws from his elbow down. Rube 'Wibur, catcher of the De Molaye. is hitting hard. In hts first six times up in the Fraternal loop he chalked up six hits. Fair enough Most anything can happen in some of these games. One team gave the other six outs in succession at Riverside Saturday to get the fracas over with. That s original anyway. The box score, no doubt, looked like the game. Slightly twjsted. In one of the games that was being efficiently handled by the umpire, one team argued contniuaily. They might have thought that was showing a good fighting spirit-—but it looked more like grade school boys on the comer lot. It’s not like the old days—in this age of automobiles even the mascot has a car. n-e razz berry crop is plentiful this spring. Said berries glow best around first base and third base coaching lines near baseball diamonds.

Tennis shoes are for tennis. Percy Percifield of the De Molays has a curve that is a fooler. There’s always one King Rooter with every team. He’s not elected, but just gets that way naturally. He's self appointed. Quite a few of the infielders need masks—others arms, and still others heads. An arm. an eye, and a head—and the greatest of these is the head. Read the rule book through at the next meeting. Bill Doak ought to be proud of that glove he has his name on. Everybody’s buying it. It doesn't help some of them, however. Plenty of curves is the amateur pitcher's motto. Control seems of secondary Importance. It ought to be the other way around. A certain young player at bat iaughed at the umpire when he called one a ball that split the plate. He’ll learn some day that the arbiter always has the last laugh. The Prest-o-Lite team looked good again Li its defeat of the Eli Lilly club. The winners played perfect ball behind Bowman’s pitching. The Indianapolis Coal Company players wear a huge question mark on the back of their uniforms. The Citizens’ Gas teum seemed to know the answer and won, 8 to 3. What’s the matter. It doesn't seem right to see Fairbanks-Morse losing every' Saturday. Bends Bag turned the trick. Saturday. Pep ’em up Ross. Some scores reminiscent of ve olden times were In Saturday's results. C. I. and W. beat John Hancock Insurance. 32 to 4, and First Baptist counted the same amazing total against North Park. No one will ever know just how many the Odd Fellows ran up against the Printers as somebody accidentally on purpose tost count and turned in the score, 12 to 4. It was at least twice as big as that. Heinzmann, who has pitched the last two years at Noblesville, has transferred his efforts to Tipton. He won his first start against Elwood although there were a couple homers off him. OPENING DIRT TRACK RACE WON BY ORMSPY Amid clouds of dust. Homer Ormsby of Ft. Wayne, driving a Fronty-Ford, won the first local dirt track auto race of the season Saturday at the Hoosier Motor Speedway. It was a 76-mile event and was witnessed by a large crowd of race fans. Bennie Schoff in an Overland was second, one lap behind, and Fred Koehler in a Fronty-Ford third. The winner'B time was one hour, forty-one minutes and fifty-one and two-fifths seconds for an average of 44.17 miles per hour. The winning car was equipped with Dayton Thoroughbred Cord tires. Twelve machines started the race, but the field was cut as the pace grew hot and the dust thickened. Ford Moyer was slightly injured when his car skidded. Ray Butcher in an Es sex<|gave the crowd some thrills by numerous skids on the turns.

Eastern Major Clubs Tackle Westerners Tuesday in First Clashes

GOTHAM TEAMS FACE HARDEST TEST OF YEAR Giants Will Greet Western Nationals at Home and Yanks Will Go Visiting, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Print Sportt Editor NEW YORK. May 7.—With the first East-West conflicts of the season starting tomorrow, the pennant seekers of the two big leagues will get out of the preliminaries into the real stuff. The hardest test falls upon the eastern clubs as the bulk of strength in both big leagues Is found In the West. In leading the forces of the East, the two champion clubs will have dark horses with them. The Giants and the surprising Braves will be the eastern color bearers of the National League and the Philadelphia Athletics will help the Yanks uphold the honor of the East in the American League. Starting away from home, the Yanks will have a tougher job than the Giants to hold their own against their powerful Western opposition. The Indians, Tigers, White Sox and Browns in a row on foreign fields will be a most severe test for the Yanks and in their present condition the American League captains are in rather a bad way to meet such a test. The Giants begin with the Cubs, then they take on the Pirates, Reds and Cards. Even though the pitching staff is upset, the Giants are in a better position than the Yanks, as they have the advantage of their home grounds'and that means much to any ball club. So far the Giants and Yanks have had it rather soft in getting fat off the weaker Eastern clubs, while the Western clubs in both leagues nave been getting ready for the intersectional skirmishes under real hard battle conditions.

President Smith is very bitter over the league rule which denies him th right of obtaining players from the big leagues and if something isn't done to relieve she situation he may become bold and start a league row by talcing his complaint to the civil courts. It is said the Toledo and Columbus clubs are with Smith in his efforts to get the ban lifted on optional players. He tried to influence the Louisville club to join him In his efforts, but tho Colonel bosses turned him down. It is not known if any of the western A. A. teams have changed their views. On a previous vote of the league magnates on the question the count was fiva to three against lifting the ban. Can't Out-Bid Majors The Indianapolis team has found it impossible to buy players of merit.
