BROOKLYN CLUB PRESIDENT DIES—DE PALMA ENTERS 500-MILE EVENT

Charles Ebbets, Executive Leader and Part Owner of Dodgers, Succumbs in N. Y.—Heart Disease Cause. Bit T.'nittrf Frrs* NEW YORK, April 18,—Charles H. Ebbets, president and part owner of the Brooklyn baseball club of the National League, died here, this morning. Ebbets had been troubled with heart disease for many years and was confined to his hotel since his return from Clearwater, Fla., this spring.

It. was thought he was progressing satlfactorily until he suffered a relpase Friday and son son, Charles H. Ebbets, Jr., and daughter, Genevieve, were called to his bedside. Ebbets accompanied his team to Its training camp at Clearwater, Fla., hoping to benefit from the warm climate there. His trip South, ac cording to physicians, did him no good. Relapse Friday Night First intimation that Ebbets was sinking came with the statement made Friday night by Dr. Robert Adams. “Mr. Ebbets is a very, very slok man,” "he said. "He has been troubled with heart disease for many years, but never before has his condition been so serious. I consider him to be in immediate danger.” Death came at 6:10 a. m. Funeral services are to be held ■"uesda.y afternoon from the resilience in Brooklyn. Ebbets was the dean of the major league owners and was one of the original men in organized baseball. He was born in New York, Oct. 29. 1869, and attended the public schools. His first work was irt the shipyards, where he held a clerical position. Joined Club in ’B3 When the Brooklyn Baseball Club was organized in 1883 Ebbets secured a position as bookkeeper at a. salary of $75 a month. In January 1898, Charles A. Byrne, president of the Brooklyn Club died, and Ebbets was elected in his place and had served In that capacity up to the time of his death. In addition to being a competent businessman, Ebbets was a great fan. He always accompanied his team on the road and be never was missing at the minor league meetings where he became noted for one remark that was always stressed in his talks—“baseball is still in its infancy.” During the days of the Federal league and during the war, the Brooklyn club faced stormy financial days and several times was on the verge of failure, but Ebbets was always able to secure backing and now the Brooklyn franchise is one of the most valuable in the major leagues. pAHN SPEEDS Boston Runner Goes Mile in 4:15 3-5 at Chi.

Human ‘Fish’ in Struggle Local Casters Will Try to ‘Land’ Swimmers With Light Tackle at I. A. C. Meet

At the Cincinnati "U" and I. A. C. swimming meet at the local club’s tank on to night a unique stunt will be tried. E. A. Nelson and' Eld Rosenberg, two experts casters of the Indianapolis Casting Club, will ittempt to accomplish the feat of landing two swimmers on regulation light tackle. Nelson will display his skill with a five-ounce fly rod and endeavor to land a 115-pound “fish.” Rosenberg will try his luck with a fiveounce bait casting rod with a 150-160-pound swimmer. The fishing lines will be attached to a ring In the top of a headgear worn by the swimmer. The swimmer will be permitted to get a start and then it is up to the caster to turn him around and head him hack over a rope stretched about ten feet from the end of the tank. If the swimmer crosses a rope at the far end of the tank the ‘fisherman" loses. Nelson and Rosenberg have had experience in deep sea fishing and have had battles with real fish which weighed as much as the swimmers, but the tackle used was heavier. The chancee appear about equal for “fish" and casters tonight. MANUAL WINS THIRD I .oral H. S. Nine Again Victorious on Diamond.

CLEVELAND DOES SOME EARLY SUPRISE WORK Speaker’s Team Boasts Clean Slate at Start Champ Senators Shine and Reds Do Well Enough. By Henry L Farrell I nit*d Prttt Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 18.—Cleveland’s Indians, holding the roost in the American League, played the most effective hall in the first, series of the year, which has just ended. All the teams changed today.

In a three game series with the St. Louts Browns, the Indians did not lose a game and they are the only team in the two major leagues with a pei feet percentage. The Indians got some good pitching. The Washington Senators, in winning three out of four games from the Yankees, played the best and most spectacular ball. The champions had harder opposition against the Yankees than any other team in the opening series. Came From Behind It was not the victories so much as the way they were won that was convincing about the Washington team. In three of the games the Senators canne from behind and won the game. The Cincinnati Red", behind some splendid pitching, won three out of the four games from the St. Louis Cardinals and are tied with the Chicago Cubs for first place in the Nations. The Cubs did well in taking three out of four games from the Pirates, but the Pittsburgh club is all shot with injuries. The Giants won two out of three against the Boston Braves and were winning another one when rain stopped it. Dodgers Take Two The Brooklyn Dodgers won two out of three games from the Phils and are tied with the Giants for third place. The Philadelphia Athletics won three games and lost one with the Boston Red Sox. getting good pitch ing from unexpected sources. The St. Louis Browns were the only club that failed to win a game in the first series of the season. The team has been getting bad pitching and has been playing spotty baseball.

Popular Pilot of the Roaring Road to Return for World’s Speed Classic on May 30. Ralph De Palma, favorite driver of racing fans for many years, has entered the thirteenth international 500-mile automobile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. De Palma returns to the local event, after skipping last year’s thrilling contest, being the second time in the running of the great exhibition in which he had not competed.

De Palma Is one of the few veterans of the first few 500-mile races, when speed was generated with bulky, locomotive style motors of pretentious construction, to enter this year's contest. The majority of the veterans of yesteryear have gone into retirement, leaving the higher speed creations of today in the hands of younger men. First Known T'ilot Along with the retired Barney Oldfield. De Palma undoubtedly is better known than any of the present drivers, despite the sensational careers of many of them. De Palma is one of the few men who became popularly famous through defeat. In 1912, at the second Indianaoplis 500-mile race, De Palma drew the attention of the crowd by a sensational driving race that sent him into a comfortable lead only five miles from the finish wire. Then on the home stretch his ebr went dead. The crowd was awed. De Palma and his mechanic hopped from the car and did everything in their power to get the car going. But to no avail. Smiles at Hard I,uek Then as Joe Dawson, who was in second place. passed De Palma’s stalled ear. to take the lead and the race, the disappointed Italian waved to Dawson and began the heartbreaking exhibition of pushing his car to the pits. But he smiled every step of the way. The crowd liked his attitude of sportsmanship. He won the local race in ils. De Palma will drive a Miller Special in the 1925 event.

BREWERS HERE FOR BATTLES Indians and Milwaukee to Mix in Three-Game Series —Action Promised. Harry Clark's Brewers were in town today to np*m a three-game series with Ownle Bush's Indians and some redhot struggles undoubtedly will be staged. The Cream City athletes won one game, tied one and lost two at Ijouisvllle and apparently have a fighting ball club. Contests today, Sunday and Monday will start at 3 o'clock. The series finale with the K. C. Blues Friday was called off on account of wet grounds and cold weather and the Tribesmen were eager to swing back into action this afternoon after the one-day vacation. The boys don’t crave postponements at this time of tlie season because every postponement now means a double bender later when days are scorching. Bill Burwell was ready for another mound effort today, but was not to be used If Carmen Hill felt strong enough to work. Hill only recently recovered from an attack of tonsilitls and there is some question about his condition. Manager Bush said he would use Burwell in the Sunday fracas with the Brewer if Hill was able to accept today’s assignment. There also is another possibility in the Tribe pitching over the week-end. Ernie Maun is scheduled to reach Indianapolis today, and if he reports in shape, he may get Immediate work. He is a righthander obtained on option from the New York Giants.
