Indians Gain on Colonels 9 but Leading Saints Pull Out and Beat Brewers

ALLEN COLLECTS FOUR i HITS, INCL UDING HOMER ♦ - Tribe Holds Field Day at Expense o f Hens Krueger Connects for Circuit —Petty Due Today, By Times Special , TOLEDO, June 3.—Jess Petty was slated to serve his slants to the Hen batsmen in the second game of the series this afternoon. The Tribe lefty has been going good and Manager Bush believed he would be able to subdue Jimmy Burke’s tossers and thereby make it two straight for the Indians on their first visit to Toledo this season.

The weather was threatening this morning, but ball teams this spring are used to threats from the clouds and arrangements were made to stage the contest if there was sign of encouragement. Fifteen Hits The Tribesmen toppled the Hens Monday, 10 to 4, and collected fifteen hits during the pastime. Pug Allen walloped the ball for a home run, double and two singles. That is the brand of slugging that brings the big league scouts running. Ernie Krueger also slapped one over the fence in addition to drilling out two singles. With the exception of Brown and Schmandt, all Indians hit safeiy one or more times. Fred Fitzsimmons did the flinging for the Bushmen. Notes of the Indians Kid Hodapp got himself two more hits and fielded faultlessly. The Ciney lad is making a game effort to land a regular job. Ketchum, Frey and Johnson appeared on the mound for the Hens and the Indians took a liking nearly to everything offered. Helgeth played a rattling good game at short for the home team. The Indians failed to gain on the Saints by winning Monday, as the league leaders pulled out an eleveninning victory over the Brewers. The Bushmen made a slight gain on the Colonels, however. Louisville took a day off to play the Yankees an exhibition game. Eddie Brown appears to be in one of his brief batting slumps. He’ll come out of it.

ILL ATHLETES mmm The Flowing Goblet Part of Olympic Reception, By United *Press PARIS, June 3.—The first temptation for Olympic athletes in Paris is the so-called “wine of honor,” a flowing goblet of champagne, offered by the official reception department of the Olympic committee. The idea is to brighten the greeting and make the muscular guests fee! at home. Wine is not denied French athletes in their training, but what can Coach Robertson do when the bubbling bottle (or bottles) is broken in honor of the Americans? But perhaps the committee members will be tolerant. They are kept hustling greeting the many differgroups that arrive daily, and days they feel that enough is enough, however good the champagne.

the game as they come. When you feel that you are right, fight for your point. When you have erred, do not seek to place the blame on a teammate or the umpire, by offering an alibi that you hope will cover up your mistake. Every- big league catcher makes mistakes. No one is infallible. The thing to do Is have the courage of you'- convictions, call for the style pitch that you believe will be mast effective and then stand or fall on your judgment.

Do You Know Baseball? By BILLY EVANS If you want the final decision on any baseball dispute, write Billy Evans, NEA Service, 1200 W. Third St., Cleveland, Ohio. QUESTIONS 1. Is there a limitation as to the length of the basehall bat?—E. M. 2. What is the weight of the official major league ball?—W. Me. 3. If the batter hit a ball into fair ground in front of the plate, and before he moves out of his box, the ball rebounds and hits him, is it fair or foul?—L. F. A NSW ERB 1. The bat cannot be metre than fortytwo inches in length. At the thickest part, it cannot be over two and threefourth inches in diameter. 2. The official ball must weigh not less than five or more than five ami one-quarter ounces. 3. The batsman invariably stands in foul territory when at the bat. therefore a ball that hits fair, and bounds back and hits the batsman before he leaves the box is always regarded as foul.

After winning three straight, Rommel was knocked out in his fourth start by the Boston Red Sox. “Unless my pitching comes through j for me, as I feel it should, my club may have considerable trouble making good my prediction that we would finish second. “We are in the cellar now. but it takes more than a month to make a season. Some of the rookie pitchers, especially Meeker and Gray, are showing signs of class.”
