rrrano will win the American \X/ League pennant this seaJ_U son? Os course, no one knows, but NEA Service has recently taken a poll of one hundred veteran stars of the Ban Johnson circuit. Consensus of opinion of players is that Washington will repeal, with Athletics and Ttgors furnishing the chief opposition. This vote was taken before the recent line showing of the Yankees. The vote was close, Washington enjoying only a six-vote margin over Philadelphia. Here’s the way the players doped out the American League finish: Washington Philadelphia Detroit St. Louis Chicago New York Cleveland Boston The same system was followed in the National League. The players favored.the Pirates to repeat, with the Giants as runners-up. While admiring the strength of the Cards, the diamond performers thought the pitching would be too mediocre to win a pennant. Only a few picked the Cards. The Pirates and Giants were overwhelming choices, with the world champions holding a ninevote edge. Here's the way the National race will end if the players are good prophets: Pittsburgh New York St. Louis Cincinnati Brooklyn Boston Philadelphia Chicago * * * ■■ l OW long can this weather 1-J keep up? The weatherman JLiJ says mostly fair tonight and Friday, with slowly rising temperature on Friday. That sounds better. The only two words we don’t like is “mostly" and “slowly.” And another thing a number of local baseball fans, who are planning on going to Kansas City to see the Indians open the season, would like to know is what the weather is going to be in Kawtown on April 13. That thirteen has an unlucky sound. • * * Permits have been issued for three boxing shows in May by the local commission. The Arcade A. C„ Ijaslty Farb, matchmaker, gets the May 29 permit, just before the 500-mile race. Other permits: May 1, Inland A. C., and May 18, National A. C. * * * SHE Milwaukee Brewers have anew world's record if press reports are true. A story fx’om Milwaukee asys the opening game with Louisville ha.s been postponed. Club officials according to tie report state tliat there is no chance of getting a snow-covered field into shape for the A. A. curtain raiser. Postponing a game five days before It is scheduled to be played is one for the book. * * * We'd walk a block for a Camel, but that big ad sorta shoots the sports page space today.

Bv United Pregg CHICAGO, April B.A fight to dislodge William P. Dilg, president of I the Isaa k Walton league, and founder of the organisation from the presidency, may develop at the fourth annual convention opening here, according to delegates arriving today.

ASTONISHING FORM REVERSAL OF YANKEES TALK OF BASEBALL

LAVELLE HAS EDGE ON GLICK Anderson Boy Shades Sidney in Fast Bout —Ellraine Beats Taylor. Louie Lavelle of Anderson shaded Sidney Glide of this city in a fast ten-round bout at Tomlinson Hall Wednesday night. It was the main go of the Imperial A. C. fight show. Click weighed 138 pounds and Lavelle 137-74. Lavelle was just a bit too shifty for Sidney and his continual boring in tactics and a good left gave him the edge. There was not a great deal to choose between the two, but in the opinion of The Times the Anderson boy deserved the verdict. Click had just two rounds, the third and tenth. Lavelle was credited with the second, fourth, fifth, seventh and ninth. Three rounds were even. In some of these rounds the advantage was not great, but it was there. Lavelle does not seem to have the murderous right lie used to carry before his arm was broken, and lie won the battle with left swings to the head. He also had the best of the infighting. Click, for some reason, never seems to step out. as fast as he is eapablo of doing in the earlier rounds. In most every fight hero Sid comes strong at the end, hut it. takes more than the final round to win a fight. iSchmadel K. O.d Joe Dillon of Indianapolis knocked out Carl Schmadel of, Brightwood in the sixth round of a scheduled eight-round bout. Schmadel slumped to the floor in the sixth and claimed a foul, but was counted out by Referee Wiggam. It was announced in the ring that the boxing commission physician examined Schmadel and discovered no evidence of a low i blow. Dillon weighed 1271 sand Schmadel 130. In another ■ eight rounder Joe Ell i raine of Louisville was too rugged i for Bunny Taylor of Terre Haute : and won on points. Ellraine weighed 126and Taylor 125. Moore Wins Billy Moore of Brightwood defeated Hank Graham of Clinton in a six-round bout. It was a. slug fest with Graham getting plenty of punishment from uppercuts which caught him in his crouching position. They are middleweight^. For the third straight time Jackie Stewart of Louisvillle beat. Cappadora of this city in the four-round preli/n. The margin was not as great as on previous meetings. Eddie Webber refereed the semiwindup and main go. Howard Wiggam handled one eight-rounder and the six-round go. Plez Oliver was third man in the prelim.

HUT’ BOXERS Turners After Terre Haute Boys for Show.

|R)RASSIE PURDIES By DICK MILLER

AROUND LOCAL COURSES WITH THE MAN WHO GOLFS FOR SPORT It must have taken a lot of highpowered imagination to cause that largo turnout at Highland club Wednesday night in the interest of golf. O-oh what a night. * * * Arch Grossman, the club president, and Edward Wuensch, chairman of the entertainment committee, are, credited with having put over a large evening. As one might read in the village paper, “A good time was had by all.” * * * It was our good fortuno to run into John Ferree, former Butler College athlete, Wednesday. John 'was bubbling over with enthusiasm about the new layout at the Pleasant Run course for the 1926 season. With ail the vigor that “Big Jawn" formerly hit the line for the Bull Dogs as full back, he rang praises of Wally Nelson, the professional at the course, and to whom goes the credit, according to John, of laying out one of the most natural and wonderful courses in this part of Ihe country. * * • The course has Anally been enI larged until it is a natural eighteenhole course, after years of talking. To play the course, one crosses and recrosscs the creek that runs through the grounds, eleven times. Hardly a green can be seen from the tee. and the fairways are full of natural hazards. Greens are well trapped and built up, and best of all, they are all well on the way to full coverage with bent grass. • * * Ferree could net resist telling about the wonderful time he had recently when the Pleasant Run club met. Nearly a hundred persons were in attendance. R. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks, and several other guests gave short talks. The real kick of the evening came, however, when Wally Nelson, club professional, gave some demonstrations. pointing out the common weaknesses of most golfers. He became more interesting as he glanced around the table and recalled by action some of the individuals' faults. His little sketch went over big, according to Feryoe. * • The club officers elected for this year, Jake Velker, president; Milton McGaw, vice president, and John Cody, secretary and treasurer, urged the committees on, various events to get into action. T. H. Fittz, chairman of entertainments, shot a “birdie" Saturday night, according to Ferree, in spite of the fact that ho designated John as “chef" of the sandwich wagon. • • * The ’tournament committee, of which Harry Olds is chairman and Clarence Herschell and Donald Monro members, said they would have some good stuff mappod out in the near future. The handicap committee was husy trying to figure out the new course details. • • • Because the entire course has been changed and considerable interest has been taken in the new arrangement efforts to have Wally Nelson play the course for the readers of this column will be made during the next few days.

German Swimmer Sets Record

BV United Pregg CHICAGO, April 7—Featured by the greatest swim ever made in the 220-yard breast stroke event, Wednesday night's national A. A. U., Indoor swim meet saw two world's records shattered and the Cincinnati Y. M. C. A. practically clinch the teem honors. Erich Rademacher, who came over from Germany to show his stuff, covered the 220-yard breaststroke in 2:46, bettering the old record held by Robert Skelton of the I. A. C., by the big margin of two and one-fifths seconds. The other world's record which fell is the worrym's 100-yard breast stroke for sixty-foot pools. Miss Agned Geraghty, women’s swimming association of New York, swam the distance in 1:21 to clip one and fourfifths seconds ofT the old record held by Miss T. Gilbert of England. The Chicago Athletic Association won the 200 yards championship relay race by a slight margin. Arne Borg of the I. A. C. retained his 220-yard free-style championship. Johnny Weismuller, the great I.

C. ball park Monday, and then participate in the league championship opening with ; Spencer Abbott's Blues, Tuesday. Manager Bush dropped pitchers Lynch, southpaw, and llutton righthander, from the squad Wednesday. ! Lynch was here on trial and was turned back to the York (Penn.) team of the New York-Pennsylvania League. Hutton was released out- ! right and given transportation to : his home at Anderson, lud. Idle Day Hutton signed as free agent and preferred to be releast-il that way Wednesday was an idle day for th< many baseball pastimers camped i: Hot Springs. Heavy showei s Tuesday night and Wednesday morniinput the practice Add out of condition. Not all of the Indians arc what one would rail ready for the hell. Ainsmlth and Y’oier are nursing injuries and Matthews, Russell, Stephenson, arc bothered by colds. Os Ihe pitchers Hill and Niles and perhaps Thompson, appear to bold an edge on condition over the ' other twirlers. Other staff members are, Burwell, Henry, Morrison. ScheniaiLskc, Reynolds, Ray and Weaver. Weather permitting, today’s practice was to be long and strenuous. The squad has had good hatting and fielding workouts and only the pitchers are lagging in preparation. The games in Oklahoma City, therefore, will be Important to the liurlcrs a the last chance to get on e<igo for the first series of the American Association caminrign. One (Mcltcr The Indians are not borrowing or anticipating trouble, but if Catcher Florence happened to be injured the Tribesmen would bo weakened with Ainsmlth back of the plate. Eddie is showing fine recovery from Injuries, but is not quite ready for heavy action. The Pittsburgh Pirates, world’s champions, were rained out at Little Rock Wednesday and returned here for workout today. Some of the American Association club owners who voted to have the league open in the West this spring are singing the blues over weather conditions. Manager Bush Is pleased with the actions of his new pitcher, Phil Morrison, obtained from the Pirates. Owiiie said friends among the Pittsburgh players advised him t-o grab the hurler, and Bush didn't waste any time about it. Pacific. Coast l*-aguo teams, played by the Pirates this spring, don't measure up to ihe class of the Indians, according to Bill McKechnie, manager of the Pittsburgh champions. Hot Springs loses much of its ! sporting atmosphere after today, as three ball clubs depart for other points, the Pittsburgh Iflrates and ! Milwaukee Brewers, ns well as the i Indiana, break camp here today.

l\i. Y., Showing Tremendous Hitting Power, Considered Pennant Contender. By Henry I- Farrell United Preps fitntt Correspondent NEW YORK. April B.—Baseball. ' with its uncertain ways, may produce pny kind of surprise during the I regular season, but it can hardly equal what the training season produced in the New Y'ork Yankees. Not so many weeks ago, in their I first week in their training camp, | the former American League champions looked like a grammar school squad on a picnic. * * But in a few weeks, the Yankees became not only a ball club, but a j dangerous contender for the American League pennant. Murder Pitching The estimate of the strength of the Yankees is not based entirely upon the form shown in the exhibition series with the * Brooklyn Robins, but the heartless way in which they have murdered high class pitching means something. For the first time since Babe Ruth joined the club Miller, Huggins has a team that is not built around Babe i Ruth. The Babe, trying desperatejly for a come-back, is only one of | the ball players now and oven if he 'fails to come through the team will not suffer. Nearing End?
