Hornsby Is Lucky Great St. Louis Player Escapes Serious Injury When Struck by ‘Bean’ Ball of Luque.

Bv Times Special ST. LOUIS, April 25—Ordered to the bench for three or sous days with a slight concussion of the brain, Rogers Hornsby, the star inflelder and slugger of the St. Louis Cardinals, has narrowly escaped the fate of Ray Chapman and Frank Chance. Adolfo Luque of the Cincinnati Reds accidentally nicked Hornsby's skull with a pitch in game here. Dr. Robert F. Hyland, physician for the Cardinals, thoroughly examined Hornsby but discovered no fracture of the skull and only a slight jar to the brain If the ball had caught Hornsby square at a different spot on the head, however, he might have gone down like Chapman, the shortstop of the Cleveland Indians, who was killed by a pitch in a game against the Yankees at the Polo Grounds in 1920. Frank Chance, then manager of the Cubs, was the most noted previous victim of the bean-ball. Chance, now dead, was hit back of the ear by a pitch twenty years ago and suffered from impairment of his hearing and also from headaches thereafter.

DOUBLE BILL Maddock vs. Reynolds, Matsuda vs. Young Stecher.

The match will be part of a doub’eheader, which will feature Matty Matsuda and Young Stecher of Neraska In the other half. Maddock defeated Reynolds once, and Reynolds later humiliated the Clevelander with two slam falls. Maddock was then deemed a poor card until he recently won a decisive victory over Tommy Record here. Matsuda has his head set on another chance at Reynolds, also, and he will endeavor to prove in his meeting with Stecher that he is entitled to one more match.

Believe Nurmi Blameless

Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 25. —Prominent coaches and officials gathered for the Pennsylvania carnival here were talking more about the Nurmi case than the games. It was the general opinion, especially of those coaches who knew the Finn star in Antwerp and Paris that some mistake must have been made In his case and that If money had been demanded for his appearance he knew nothing about it. It was reported that a Phila* delphia promoter might be called before the commission investigating the story that Nurmi’s manager demanded $1,500 for a NurmlRitola race at the Drake carnival. The Philadelphia promoter may be asked to tell If Nurmi’s manager made a similar demand for a race staged here during the winter.

Ownie’s Pacemakers Knock Off Saints Again and Then Tangle With s Kelley’s Crew—Fitz Shines. By Eddie Ash Three struggles with the Minneapolis Millers are next for the league-leading Indians! Ownie Bush’s boys were to face the Kelley aggregation for the first time this afternoon and Tribe rooters were anticipating wild excitement. The Millers are in a four-way tie for second place in the A. A. and it can be taken for granted they mean to extend themselves against the Hoosler pacemakers.

Battles today, Sunday and Monday will wind up the Indians* first stay at home as the schedule calls for the popular Bushmen to depart for St. Paul, Tuesday, where they are slated to help Champion Saints oepn season at Lexington Park on Wednesday Tribesmen will be gon until May 29, which, by the way, is a long time for Indianapolis fans to go without baseball. The Two "Ernies” . Ernie Maun was on deck to do the Tribe flinging In the series opener with the Millers today. The righthander from the New York Giants defeated St. Paul last Tuesday and Manager Bush had a hunch his new twirler would repeat this afternoon. Ernie Krueger was expected to do the catching against the invading crew. The Indians strengthened their hold on first place Friday by bumping off the Saints, 5 to 2, behind the good pitching of Fred Fitzsimmons, the Mishawaka marvel. It was sweet tonic for the fans to see their noble athletes walk off the field with three victories to their credit over the chesty champions. Hot dog! Friday marked the end of an exciting series and the rooters surely will remember for a long time the stirring battles of the four-day warfare. Two more Saints were banished from the field, which is proof that the champions "died hard.” The Saints won one game out of four, and were forced to travel fourteen innings to annex that skirmish. Attendance Is Good Attendance Friday was more than 2,200 paid and 1,200 feminine fans admitted free. It was ‘‘ladies’ day,” and the women took smart advantage of the fine day to see the wind-up of the thriller series. The St. Paul series brought out the fact that though the Indians are a quiet ball club they have their own way of hustling, and as the small boy say 6: "They get there just the same.” The Saints created plenty of noise throughout the four days, but a lot of the loud stuff was merely plain wind and failed to ruffle the Tribe pitchers. Big Fred Fitzsimmons, the newlywed, pitched another fine article of ball and further convinced the fans that Ownie Bush knows something about getting his twirlers In shape during spring training. Claude Robertson, the veteran catcher from the Southern Association, received Fltz In splendid style and got himself two hits. B'itz also “stood up there.” and he found safe spots twice with the old mace. The Indians collected twelve hits and the Saints seven. An unusual hatting feat occurred In the sixth inning wheir two Hooslers scored on a sacrifice tly. Allen was on third, Rehg on second and Schrelber on first when Schmandt sent' a long high drive to deep left center. Christensen made a long run and spectacular catch, but "stretched himself” so much he fell to the ground, and both Allen and Rohg tallied. Two men scoring on a sacrifice fly is something new at Washington Park. Sehmandt’s drive was a whale of a wallop and Christensen was lucky to reach It.

Tribe Notes

’""j ANY strange faces are here with Mike Kelley's Millers, t Affable Mike says he may not win the pennant, but feels sure his team will create plenty of damage to some clubs. Previous to today the Millers won six games and lost five, which Is not a bad record for playing on the road. Ray Schmandt again turned In a swell fielding game at first base Friday. And don’t overlook the fact Ray drove in three runs! Haas and Berghammer “got the gate” from Umpire Hayes. Haas acted as though he was eager to bo banished. The Saints were able to bunch hits In only one Inning out of nine off Fitzsimmons. The seventh was the big round for the visitors. SHE Indians slambanged away and scored one marker in the second Inning, two in the sixth, one In the seventh and one in the eighth. Sicking and Hodapp both had tough luck in the first Inning when they poled line drives straight at enemy inflelders. Holtzhauser twirled seven Innings for the Saints and Merritt finished. Seven victories out of the first ten starts. Give the Indians credit, fans! Minneapolis today. Sunday and Monday. Then farewell Indians until May 29. Tribe plays in seven cities before returning homo. It’s a long stretch to be on the road and a tiresome grind for the athletes.

Win Last From Saints
