Thriller Series Promised When Saints Invade Indians' Park Wednesday

BUSHMEN ALL SET FOR BATTLES WITH LEADERS Four-Game Program Expected to Set High Mark for Week-Day Attendance —Burwell Trims Senators, The June pennant fight is the next number on the American Association baseball bill and Indianapolis gets the act. The show opens at Washington Park Wednesday afternoon. Curtain^ at 3 o’clock. After that everybody for himself! St. Paul Saints vs. Ownie Bush’s second place Indians in the first of a series of swinging bats and diamond >pats.

Give your heart a rest tonight. . 'cause it’s going to be taxed the next four days. The Indians have no I love for the Saints and the Sain f s are jealous of the Indians. The teams nearly mixed in fisticuffs : when the Tribe visited St. Paul. Saints Buy Lee Just at present Nick Allen's gang is going big, leading the league by a good margin and saying they are in first place to stay. They purchased Outfielder Lee from the Phillies Monday night and order -1 him to be on hand for the Indian apolls series. He is a catcher, also. Fred Fitzsimmons will be assigned the role of leading man in the opening Saints-Tribe act on Wednesday, and if he's in proper shape he promises to throw the agate so fast the Saints won't see it. All that’s needed now is gooa weather and veteran Tribe followers say the series opening Wednesday I will set a high mark for week-day Attendance at Washington Park. Some Mystery Here Shortstop Jones and Outfielder Bailey may be in the Tribe lir.e-up Wednesday. "May" is right. Bailey doesn’t want to leave Brooklyn and Jones has been taking a vacation since he was ordered to Indianapolis. Jones wired Bush he would join the Indians Wednesday. Brooklyn is having trouble with the Bailey part of the Brown deal. Some fans fear Brooklyn is trying to euchre the Tribe out of Bailey. Eddie Brown got two hits for Brooklyn Mondav and apparently has made good agains* big league pitching. ILL BURWELL hurled like a champion against the Senau—tors in Columbus Monday an 1 def£gted them, 4 to 1. He had good control and permitted only four hits. The Indians collected nine safeties off McQuillan. Campbell got three of the Tribe's hits Monday and Sicking two. Spud is gradually boosting his hatting average and soon will be where he belongs. The Tribesmen returned home today. The team won five out of seven games on the short road trip. That's fair enough. The only regret of the Indians is their failure to win behind Petty's good pitching Sunday. t Oh, ye= pvith the Saints. Very much so.

PLAYING SWINGING BUNT TOWARD THIRD BASE CALLS FOR GREATEST FIELDING SKILL

By JOE DUGAN. Third Baseman, New York Ameri can League Club. mHE old baseball saying, "you either do or you don't,” aptly applies to third-base play. When the hot ones come straight at you. or to the right or left, you have no time to judge the bound or the speed of the ball. In making a play on such a ball you jus* put your hands where you think

STATE SHOO! ON ATLOOAL CLUB Trap Experts From Over Indiana Compete Here, A three-day State trap shoot started this morning at the Indianapolis |tun Club. The rUiss cl tmpi"'iships R'ere to be decided today in a 100targent event The Shite amateur singles event is on the card for Wednesday. Thursday the doubles and handicap events will be held. One hundred and twenty-five scat-ter-gun experts from over tho State are entered; SI,OOO in trophies and S3OO in cash will be distributed at the tourney. W. J?. Burford, Jr., and Art Risser tied in the preliminary shoot on Monday with ninety-eight targets out of 100. Harry Stutz was second with 97. McGury took the doubles with 21 out of twelve pair.

Diamond Drama; Lone *Bat in Game Is Broken At "* GREAT playwright could have found all the elements of tragedy and comedy in the baseball game Monday between Berkell’s Grand Players of English’s Opera House and the Apollo Theater nine. When the game ended the score was 9 to S in favor of the Apollo club. But what an ending! The Grand Players never had a chance to put over that run which would have tied up the game. There was one bat in the game—and at the “supreme i moment” the bludgeon was ’ broken. Such an anti-climax—-such groans from the losers — such singing of the blues —the Aborn Opera Company would have been jealous. It is said that Larry Sullivan . is quite as good a comedian on the diamond as on the stage, quite unintentionally, however! One of Lalrry's stunts was trying to hold a broken bat together and hit at the same time. It can't be donel and its hard on fingers. /

There is great rivalry between them and action should be fast.

TECH WINS CITY SERIES BY DOWNING MANUAL, 3-2 Green and White Profits by Losers' Misplays to Take Thriller in Play-off for Baseball Championship. Nine Manual High School baseball players very likely had nightmares Monday night as a result of Tech's 3 to 2 victory Monday afternoon at Riverside in the play-off for the city public high school championship. In their dreams the South Side youths doubtless saw home plate almost within their reach—but not quite. And every time they would try to touch that plate there would be Chet Jordan in the way, *

It was a tough contest to lose, but | it was not all luck that decided the ! game. Manual performers have only themselves to blame for ragged : fielding at critical times and a total of five errors. Tech, on the other ! hand, played a dazzling game in the ■ field and cut off three Manual runs at ;he plate by perfect throws aided ; by perfect blocking by Chet Jordan, who is a real catcher. Out at Plate Two outfield throws, one from Rush in the fourth and one from Klingho-z in the sixth cut off runs at the plate. In both instances Manual men failed to score front second on clean hits. Klingholz in left made the most sensational play when he speared Bauldauf's hard drive on the ground with his bare hand and nipped Becker at home. The game was a thriller from start to finish, and about 1,000 fans had plenty of excitement. Tech scored in the first when Rush singled, stoic second and came in when Kollermeyer tossed C. Jordan’s bunt over Eickman’s head at tjtird. Manual tied up the game in the sixth after threatening continually. Xnodgress led off with a single to right. Becker attempted to sacrifice and both were safe when E. Jordan threw too late to second in an effort to head off Snodgress. Eiekm.in sacrificed and there were men on second and Third with only ore out. Rose struck out. but Baldauf I came through with a single that scored Snodgrass. Becker was caught at the plate as before related. Dig Ninth There was nothing doing until the ninth, although Manual tried hard in the eighth. Both pitchers weakened in the closing frames, bu* both stuck gamely to their tasks. Riirv singled to start the nin r h. Harrell laid one down, and Riley would have been out at second if Druse had not dropped Higgs’ throw, Klingholz sacrificed. E. Jordan worked the squeeze play, scoring Rilev. Eiekman fumbled the bum and all hands were safe. Oliver popped out. but Kornblum, who bats ; ninth in the order, came through with the single that scored Harrell and won the game. ; Manual tried hard in its half and scored a run. Baldauf struck out. | Kellermeyer got a walk and Higgs singled him to second. Sackoff

I try to stop the play in this manner: With a batter up prone to pull the play. I move in closer to the plate and well over toward the bag. I stand stock still until the barter either bunts or bluffs the bunt and make my play accordingly. Another confusing play comes up on a bunted ball with first and second occupied and no one out.

Manual's heaviest hitter, the fans pleaded for a hit. but hu topped a low ball for a slow bouncer to short and Harrell came in fast for a nice play to get Becker at first for the final out ~ It was a good one to win and a tough one to • lime. The teams are good prep outfits and there is not much to choose between them. The two Jordans and Riley were outstanding players for Tech, and Snodgress an 1 Higgs showed real ability for Manual.

The batter invariably bunts down the third base line. On such plays the pitcher and third baseman always have a previous understanding who will take the bunt. With a good fielding pitcher who is fast of foot. I always cover third and let him make the play either to third or first, according to the chances. With a slow, poor fielding pitcher. I always take the bunt and make one man sure. If the ball is bunted hard, it is often possible to force the runner at second and sometimes start a double play. The most difficult batters for me to play are left-handed hitters, speed merchants, who hit hard down the third base line and in addition are clever hunters. I have in mind players like Cobb. Frisch. Sisler and Tobin. T We Stop FALLING ]hair ELIMINATE '®S§§g|£l DANDRUFF AND GUARANTEE that we will REGROW YOUR HAIR or refund yonr money—if we accept you.
