Times Baseball Problem By BILLY EVANS TAK E nothing for granted in baseball. If you doubt that statement just glance over the following situation: It is the last half of the ninth inning and the home team is trailing by the score of 5 to 3. Then things started to happen. Three times during the inning it seemed as if the home team had put over the three runs required to win the ball game. As many times the crowd rose to its feet, gave the mighty shout of victory, then to its great dismay something had happened which erased the much-needed runs Perhaps half the crowd left the park believing the jhome team had scored a 6 to 5 victory. During, the course of the inning not a basehit was Kctually made by the team at bat. Neither did the team in the field make a fielding error, fcor did the pitcher give a base on balls. Despite this the home team appeared to have won the game on three different occasions, bijt didn’t. ' j Six men were used by the home team to complete this unusual inning. Aside from the three outs necessary to Wmplete the last half of the ninth, three other outs were apparently made. I Even the umpire played a part in the confusion that Mturally resulted by sending a player to the clubhouse. How did it all happen?y (Send in your answers ayunce to Billy Evans Contest Editor, season baseball Washington Park, given by The are the reward for the two best answers, and ten admisto the opening Inditn game also will be awarded for the next Hit answers.)

WEDNESDAY LAST DAY FOR PUZZLE Billy Evans Contest Closes — Select Judges, One more day and it ie all over. The Times Billy Evans bAseball puzzle contest, which has aroused unprecedented interest among the fans of Indianapolis, closes on Wednesday at midnight. One last chance to send in solutions and then it is up to the judges. Any answers in the mail by midnight will be accepted. It will not be long now until all the discussion can be settled. There wilj be no more arguments on street corners, no more firm friendships almost shattered in heated controversy. Billy Evans' own version of the peculiar play will be the solution used in determining the winner. The judges wiil be announced on Wednesday. As every one knows by this time the two fans who send in the best answers are to receive season baseball passes given by The Times and the ten next best will be awarded opening day passes for the Indlan-Miller game, April 15.

•WATCH AND WAIT, IS ADVICE ON BOWIE

By EDWARD COLE (Special Race Correspondent of United Financial) BOWIE. Mil., April 1. —Just like the groundhog bursting out of its winter quarters into weather suitable to groundhogs, bo do the Maryland folk appreciate the ripening of a local track. Willie Bowie may not be the most fashionable institution on the map. it is a welcome beginning for those who have wintered at New Orleans, Havana and Tia Juana, as well oh the racing brotherhood at home, who have spent the cold nights over hot stoves. Today is the opening of what prom WHAT’S A MILLION OR SOTO CHAMP Jack Signs Movie Contract — Considers $500,000 Offer, By United S’escs LOS ANGELES. Cal.. April I.— Jack Dempsey signed a contract Monday with Carl Laemmlc. president of the Universal Motion Picture Company. for a series of ten pictures fori a total of ft,000.000 and announced he' had received an offer from Tex Rick ard of $500,000 to fight in New Vork or New Jersey on Day. In signing with L&emmle, Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager, said he would accept Rickard's offer if no better proposition was made in the meantime. Kearns said that the probability of Rickard’s offer being accepted would prevent the proposed bout with Wills at Tia Juana, because the date set by Jim Coffroth, who wanted to stage the bout on Jan. 1, wa* too distant to war rant consideration.

MTIGiiE REMAINS HP BY GRACE OF JERSEY RULING No Decision Law Leaves Crown at Perilous Angle on Mike's Head, By HENRY L. FARR ELI. United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April I.—-By the “grace of Jersey justice" which does not permit decisions on boxing contests. Mike McTigue, of County Clare and New York, still holds (he world Tight heavyweight championship Before a crowd of 14.000 in the New ark Armory last night. Young Stribling, just out of a Georgia high school, widely and convincingly outpointed Mi Tigue in a twelve round bout. In the tenth round Stribling tried to take the law into Ida own hands when ho smacked over a strong right hand that caught McTigue on the jaw and sent the champion to his knees. Stribling couldn’t finish him though. He hasn't been in the business long enough to know how to put the finishing touches on a job almost done. McTigue came up dizzy without taking the full count and he, “smarted" his way through to the finish. McTigue at the end of the bout was a tired and mussed up champion The champion blamed his showing on being short of work and it was apparent that Stribling had done the wise thing in taking eleven fights after their first affair in Georgia while MeTigue remained idle. Stribling gave McTigue many chances early in the fight to take the offense and show what he had. When he found that the champion had so little. Stribling took the fight a way from him and carried it through every round.

PHILLIES WILL FINISH NO WORSE THAN LAST PLACE Quaker City National League Club Magnate Believes in Conservings the Nickels With Disastrous Results, By JOE WILLIAMS NEA Service Writer LEESBURG, Fla., April I.—The Phillies have about as much to look forward to as a milk fed hen that has fallen reluctard’y but none the less securely into the hands*of a dark-skinned midnight prowler. Which is to say they will finish no worse than eighth.

Last year the Phillies finished an I earnest and emphatic last. You'd! naturally think that some serious. es-1 fort would be made to rebuild. I Now consider what the big-hearted Mr. Baker, who owns the club, has done to give the Philadelphia farm a Season's entertainment. Carlson and Hamilton His two most promising pitchers among the newcomers are Howard Carlson, a Pittsburgh discard, who was drafted from Wichila Falls, and the ancient Earl Hamilton. No other major league club thought enough of Carlson to buy him, so he fell to the frugal Mr. Baker in the draft. Hamilton, long since through as an effective workman, was picked up for nothing, a free agent. Benny Helgeth and Leonard Metz are the outstanding infield prospects. All Uelgeth cost was car fare from Chicago, where he played semipro ball, to Leesburg. Metz came from the Nebraska State League and must ! have cost all of six bits and n red I cravat. Two other “milHon-dollnr beauties” i on Mr. Baker’s enormous pay roll are 1 Fritz Henrlch and Fred Krisinger. | I Jen rich, you know, is that great left- j handed outfielder you’ve been read- i ing so much about. What! You j never heard of hirrri Why, he was a star In the Philadelphia Twilight League last year Snndlot “Beauty” And surely Krisinger needs no introduction. Krisinger was a right- j

As one turf writer says: It is a spot where a player ought to cut down his investment, to one-quarter of his customary outlay and be content to watch and wait, until a convincing line of merit is obtainable. According to horsemen, it will be ns well to look for New Orleans applicants for winners for at least a week, as they are on edge, while the major ■ Ity of their opponents will need sharpening in races. The smart horso , player will profit by this sharpening process if watched carefully.

Whelan worked in the outfield and at third base Monday and performed especially well at the hot corner. Bush, Hodapp and Campbell took turns at playing/ short during the Monday drill. Bush joined the other regulars In the long session of batting practice and then assigned Catcher Miller to hit the infield. It is evident Bush intends to get himself in the best shape possible during the remaining days of training. He is carrying some surplus weight and is not satisfied with his ability to stoop after ground balls. To Use Niles Bush notified Pitcher Nilss Monday to begin cutting loose as he Intends to use him in a game before breaking camp. Niles has been bothered by a kink in his right shoulder. He warmed up with Catcher Krueger Monday and uncorked a few curves, but held back on his speed. Bush said today he desires to keep Johnny Hodapp with the club the entire season and use him in parts of games.
