Zinn Dazzles Tribesmen and K. C. Triumphs on the ‘Big’ Day—Locals Get Pitcher Maun From Giants. By Eddie Ash As the love-puzzled “Chiekie’’ girl would express it, Tribe fans felt like saying Tuesday: “Oh, tish for you, Jimmy Zinn’ “Gallant, you are, but why bring that heart-breaking curye to Indianapolis ou opening day and spoil the party for the home heroes? It isn’t fair. So there!”

Any way, a man with a name like Zinn belongs somewhere else, say Zinzinnati. But Mr. Zinn pitches for the blustering Blues and he went to the mound at Washington Park opening day and dazzled Ownie Bush's Indians to the tune of 6 to 1. Yep, after an hour of rain, hail, thunder and lightning, the ball clubs squared away on a muddy field and the mudlark Blues stole nearly all the thunder of the diamond pas timing by winning •in decisive fashion. Five Hits Off Jimmy Coach Zwiiling had his Blues all hopped-up and they got about every break of the day. Zinn. was in form anil he allowed the Hoosiers only five hits. Bill Burwell, Tribe flinger, tried hard to put across a victory for Indianapolis, but he was supported badly and Zinn checked the home attack. Manager Bush found some eonsolatoday over the announcement he is to get Pitcher Ernie Maun from the New York Giants, but the chances are Ownie would be in better humor if his club had annexed the honors Tuesday. The parade was a wow and early indications Tuesday pointed to a crowd of 12,000. but the April thpnderstorm interfered and the paid attendance was only about 7,000. Gate crashers made merry during the storm and it was estimated the paid and unpaid attendance combined totaled at least 8,000. Storm Proves Costly The cloudburst proved a terrific jolt to the financial department of the Indians. It seemed as though the elements “framed” on the Tribe and picked out the most damaging hour to cut loose with a downpour. Threatening weather prevailed again this morning, but the teams were ail set for another struggle this afternoon at 3 o’clock and the nitchers were to be Wilkinson for Kansas City and Henry for Indianapolis.

Links Tips

By Wilfred Reid p-n NR of the big faults in Iron club play is holding the club | t o o loosely. When a difficult approach shot must be made, tighten up your fingers in their grip on the club. That Is where the control comes from. • • • It Is not a bad practice to put the right hand over a little bit, which gives the fingers a better grip. As I have said, control Is the big thing to be had In Iron play, whether the shot Is a long one or not. * • * Many amateurs have a weakness with the mashle and it has been my observation that a dltfldenqa about taking a strangle hold on the club is responsible for most of It. • • * A firm grip is necessary because the club may strike the'ground hard enough to twist the club in the hands. And the feet may be a little farther apart than usual, the left, foot some fifteen Inches In advance of the right. • • • The weight should be distributed nearly equally with perhaps slightly more on the right foot than on the left. Bout Site Considered Bv United Press CHICAGO, April 15.—Site for the Munn-Lewls championship heavyweight •g-restllng bout was Considered here this afternoon. Kansas City and Michigan City, Ind,, are buing considered.

Tribe Notes

rrr-i ug ALLEN got two,of the I I I flve hits off Zinn opening 1 * I day. One blow was good for two bases and be scored later. If the field seats had not been up, Pug's long drive in the fourth would have been good for a home run. Burwell struck out five and Zinn tanned four. Zinn did not iasue a single walk. Burwell passed McGowan in the second. Former Mayor Jewett pitched the first ball and it was a wild one. The ball struck Shorty Burch's Vnegaphone’ while Shorty wa3 announcing the batteries, and said megaphone was knocked into the mud. Shorty was mortified and humiliated. The flag raising was held, hut Owner Smith missed it and did not get to take his annual walk. SHOMAS HICKEY, president of <he American Association, honored Indianapolis with his presence. He tried to console Owner Smith over the had break in weather but Smith smiled and Vaid: “Nothing matters now. H'ail. thunder and rain, and I missed my yearly con atitutional to the flagpole!” It was about the best, parade of local baseball history. The pnraders hardly Imd reached the park when the storm broke. Pitcher Maun, coming on a loan from the Giants, is expected to report to the Indians shortly. Ho is a righthander. He "went up” from the Western League and was witn the Giants last season. The Blues scored the first run. registering in the third. It was unearned. The Indians knotted the count in the fourth. The Blues took the lead in the fifth with a second marker and in the ninth they scored four runs and put the game far beyond reach of the home team. Hodapp played a splendid game at third Tuesday, but failed to .solve Zinn's curve in four tries. AY SCHMANDT singled in the ninth after one out, but Clarke and Schreiber couldn’t supply the power for a rally. Ixtok at Louisville! A crowd of 16,700 at Nick Cullop’s annual opener. Toledo reported 12.915 and Columbus 9,338. Official paid here was 6.971. The local game was the only one marred by rain, but weather was threatening at Columbus. The champion Saints were blanked by the Senators in the big upset of the A. A. opening day. Palmero allowed only three hits. The score wa| 7 to 0. Four home clubs won tn the National Tuesday, three In the American and three* in the A. A. Well, the "Old East End Gang of Mine" from Ownie Bush’s neighborhood had a gay time DESPITE the rain and defeat of the locals. Ted Sullivan came down from Detroit to get In on the party. Pongo Joe Cantillon said he was surprised to see so much rain In a Bone Dry Deague. Owner Smith, Manager Bush and Secretary Clauer received gifts. Donors were Elks Club, Knights of Columbus, Altrusa Club, East End Bush Club and fire laddies of Engine House No. 14. mHE Blues were retired In 0.-der the first Inning. Christenbury opened the Tribe half with a single. Kicking made a fine catch of a foul in the seventh, taking the ball [ on the edge of the crowd over the [ right field foul line. Bebourveau had six putouts in right field for the Blues. The Indians were hitting late, or pulling. How ya gonna win, ’gainst Jimmy Zinn? Best of control, never In the hole. That Man Zinn! Playing his first official game as a "rejuvenated” Indiana. Hank Schrleber starred In the field Tuesday, but failed to connect safely. Three of the five Tribe hits were made by lefthand batters.
