A WAIL OF WOE IHERE is no use running I away from the facts. Indi- — ,1 anapolls Is not what is termed a good sport town. If the Indianapolis baseball club decides to invest some $250,000 in anew park next year it is taking no little, /risk. The return on such an investment is not likely to be great unless sentiment in this city suddenly turns and it becomes interested in the great national game to a greater extent than in the past. Last season the Indians made money by selling players and not by admissions at the turnstiles. Many believe that anew park will increase the attendance. There is no doubt but that anew playing grounds is needed. But we just wonder how many of those who are crying for a spin and span hallyard, away from the smoke and dirt of the railroad, would he willing to risk their money in such a venture? Any number of these same folks probably will kick like steers because their passes won't he good on Saturdays and. Sundays this season. A ball club can not be #un on the pass list.. Few fans eallze the heavy expense of operating a class AA team. "10, 20. 30 Town” Tt. Is no boost for this metropolis to be classed as a. "10, 20, 30 town” by the sporting fraternity, but one must, admit there is some truth in the assertion. It Is not only baseball that, does not receive the support it deserves. I steal boxing promoters have been handicapped in tidying to bring top-notch attractions here, owing to poor attendance and small gate receipts. A local promoter endeavored to sign 800 Snell. Pactiflc Coast featherweight title contender, but. received this reply: “I received $3,000 for Cleveland appearance. What can you offer?” Such purses are out of the question here, flood fighters demand good money. $5.50 Top At a recent boxing show in Terre Haute between Bud Taylor and Abe Goldstein the top price ■was $5.50, and the show drew a capacity house. What moans and groans would be heard here if such an admission were charged. Even football doesn’t seem to go over like it should. Butler attendance fell off last year. Os course, bad weather had something to do with it. But a city •with a population of approximately 370,000 should turn out more spectators than it does to sport events, dust what is the matter? We do not blame those who are not interested in athletics. That’s their business. But we have the right to wonder why the percentage of fans is lower here than in so many other cities. • • o The opening games in the American Association on Tuesday follow: Indianapolis at Kansas City. Toledo at St. Paul Columbus at Minneapolis. Lmiisvflte at Milwaukee. National League openers: Bouton at Philadelphia. Brooklyn at New York. Pittsburgh at St. I.rf>uis. Chicago at Cincinnati.

RALPH DE PALMA ENTERS TWO CARS IN SPEEDWAY RACE, MAY 31

INDIANS AT KANSAS CITY FOR ASSOCIATION OPENING Burwell or Hill Slated to Pitch First Game —Team in Fair Shape for Start. By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 12.—Ownie Bush's Indians arc on the scene. They arrived in Kansas City this morning to await the opening day struggle with Spencer Abbott’s Blues Tuesday afternoon at Muehlebach Field, 3 o'clock. The American Association lid-lifter here has aroused keen interest among Kansas City baseball fans and a capacity crowd is expected to be on hand if favorable weather prevails.

Kansas City booster organizations aim to make a. determined effort to win the Thomas .1. Hickey cup that goes to the city showing high opening day attendance. Furthermore, the Blues have anew pilot this sea son, Spencer Abbott, and he already has won the admiration of diamond followers here. He's a scrappy manager, and predicts the Blues will surprise the league throughout the 1926 campaign. The Indians, rainbound in Oklahoma City for three days, are not on edge, owing to inability to obtain proper practice recently, but they are a confident crew and refuse, to FIGHT SHOW Paglini-Glazier Matched on Next Card. Joe Pagllni of Tsnilsvllle will oppose Charles Glazier of Chicago In the eight-round semi-wind-up of the National A. C. boxing show at Tomlinson hall next Monday night, preceding the ten-round main go between Happy Atherton of this city and Pal Moore of Memphis, it was announced today by Joey Jacobs, National matchmaker? Pagllni, who fought a. draw at Fort Harrison last summer with Merle Alte, has battled with most of the ring prominents in his class, among them Eddie Shea, Willie Ames. Sammy Mandell and Frankie Garcia. Glazier, who recently knocked out Midget Guery at Cincinnati, Is a prime favorite In the East Chicago arena, where he has fought in main events against Ray Miller, Herbie Schaefer. Harold Smith and others. His victory over Paul Allen was one of his most impressive wins of late. Atherton is working early and late getting ready for what he considers the biggest chance that has ever come his way. A victory over Moore will mean that Hap gets a match with Clever Sencio, the Filipino sensation. Jim Mullen. Chicago promoter, has promised this to the little local slugger. Atherton, who just returned from Florida, won the three fights he engaged in while south and looks to be in fine shape.

fear the Blues. The Tribesmen are stopping at the Coates House in Kansas City. Probably Burnell Bill Burwell probably will pitch for Indianapolis Tuesday and Jimmy Zinn for Kansas City. These sta.S faced each other one year ago in the opener at Indianapolis, and Zinn won, 6 to 2. Carmen Hill is Manager Bush's next choice to take the mound against Zinn if Burwell lacks form hefore the important battle. The catchers will be Florence for the Indians and probably Wells for the Blues. A good guess on batting orders for the season's first struggle follows: INDIANS BLUES Matthew#, of Murray or Sicking. “2b Boone. ## Russell. rs Smith. 2d Stephensen. If Philbin. 3b Home, lb Moore, if Voter 3b Rranom. lb ■Sohreiber. as Nicholson or Florence, c Grigsby, rs Burwell or McGowan or PicU, of Wells, c Zinn. p Outfielder Wtd Matthews has not recovered entirely from a recent attack of flu an 1 Is not likely to play Tuesday if tha weather is damp or cold. In that case the Tribe Une-up will change. Yoter, third hnse, will lead off. and Joe Wyatt will play center field and bat after Holke. Tribe pitchers and catchers took a, short workout in Oklahoma City Sunday afternoon on a vacant lot back of the Skirvin Hotel by the side gt a warehouse. Other Tribe players remained idle. Lag*k Practice The Indians have not had a batting or fielding drill since Thursday, when they left Hot Springs. They planned to practice at Muehlebach field here some time today In an effort to erase kinks before tangling with the Blues Tuesday. Game competition has been minus on the Indians' spring training trip this year, only six contests, including one among themselves, having been played. It's a long, long road, this Amorl can Association race—l6B games. Fans in four cities arc burning up with pennant fever, in Indianapolis, Minneapolis. Louisville and Kansas City. Ownie Bush, energetic and peppery pilot of the Indians, is modest about predictions, hut says he will be fooled badly If his club finishes below third. The New York Giants and •''lex-e----land Americans have failed to deliver pitchers promised Indianapolis, and this fact has caused Bush some anxiety. He feels certain, however, • hat he will obtain the hurlers later. The Hoosiers got a had break when Catcher Alnsmith was injured, and suffered another jolt when Pitcher Schemanske was taken ill. Owner Smith is inclined to the belief he has a flag winner this year and a squad that will stand up for more than one season. And this has caused the Tribe president to start thinking again of anew ball park at Indianapolis. He hopes to have a new plant by 1927. he says. New Park Plans George J. Marott, Tndiajiapolls business man, has made the hall club an attractive offer of a tract of lajid of seven and one-half acres In the northwestern part of the rlty. The site Is west of Northwestern Avo., near'the gaa plant. This is the fourth time Owner Smith has had the "new park bug.” and he hopes to go through with the project? this time if gate receipts hold up at Washington Park this season. Anew hall park will mean a tie-up of more than $250,000. hut Owner Smith Is willing to take a chance, providing the Indians are in the race this year and get good support from the home fans. An Indianapolis man with property In the northwestern section of the city also has made Smith an offer of ground for anew hall park, hut the Tribe president seems to favor the Marott acreage. General opinion around Indianapolis and the American Association Is that the Indians will receive the support they warrant and desire If the Iloosler capital is given a modem, spacious grandstand and park away from the railroad shops and yards and car lams.

Here are Tribe lxisses snapped in the Southland. They are all fairly well pleaseil over the prospects this season and believe the Indians will be in the pennant fight from the start.

OPEN RACES PREDICTED IN BOTH MAJOR LEAGUES

Pirates and Giants in National Washington. Philadelphia and New York in American Are Favorites.

By Henry L. Farrell. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 12.-—'"Take your choice and get the best price you can.” New York betting com tnisslonera advise those who want to speculate on the results of the major league pennant race starting Tuesday. With four teams standing as actual contenders in each of the two big leagues, sentiment is so evenly divided that very little big betting has been reported in the flnanieal district. The champion Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Giants are the ranking favorites in the National League, and they are almost even money either way. With Champions In addition to partisan supporters and many smart baseball critics the Pirates will have the backing of the casual fans who like to string along with a champion, but the Giants will have a lot of support from those who have seen the pitchers John McOmw has developed. The American league presents a first-class guessing contest, with the champion Washington Senators, the youthful Philadelphia Athletics and the revived New York Yankees figuring most prominently. The St. Ixmis Browns and even the Chicago White Sox are also at tracting attention, and only the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Red Sox are figured as being out of the reckoning entirely. Senators Favored Some opinion rates the Senators as being too young and the Yankees as being too green, but the Senators are favored because of their experience, their balance and their smart direction. The Giants are in first class con-

Veteran Italian Back Again for Thrills of 500-Mile Speed Classic. Race drivers may come and race drivers may go, but Ralph Lie Palma j seems willing to go on forever. He j started racing tn 1907 against Barney Oldfield and other stars of that day. He is going as strong as ever in this his twentieth year of racing. He comes to the Indianapolis 500mile race this year, according to announcement from the Speedway of fine, with two cars, as yet unnamed. Last year, it will be recalled, he drove a Miller Special of his own into seventh place, at an average of 66.85 miles an hour. laing Career During his long career as a driver De Palma has been at the wheel of many cars. In 1912, while driving a Mercedes, he broke down at the head of the stretch on his last lap, after leading the race by twenty miles. He pushed his car across the tape, but was disqualified because it did not finish under its own power. Ho got his reward in 1915 by winning in a Mercedes. In other races he hai finished as high as fourth. De Palma practically has quit board track racing, as he says that nothing except speed counts. Instead h has devo-ed himself almost wholly to dirt track racing and to participation in the 500-mile race at Indianapolis. Skill Needed He gets a. great deal of satisfaction out. of racing on the local brick course, because of the constant ohal lenge to his driving skill. To mis judge corners at Indianapolis is an Invitation to disaster. Driving the Indianapolis track is more than a mere putting down of the driver’s foot at the red starting flag and hold Ing it there until the checkered ensign announces that the race is over. Between the two flags there is a challenge to driving skill, car stamina and speed every minute. That is why De Palma enters two cars, as yet unnamed, in the first race in America ever to he run with 9154 cubic inch motors. Other entries thus far announced are Harlan Fengler, Dave I.ewis and Albert Schmidt with three foreign-built Schmidt Sjvecials and a Hamlin Front Drive Special, being built at Chevrolet Brothers’ shop in Indianapolis for the Hamlin Motor Company of Chicago.
