Th eoutfleld of Strand, Menoskey and Leibold is nothing wonderful. The pitching staff is poor, unless some of the youngs sters come through. It appear 3 as though Ilank Gowdy is going to liave trouble staying out of the dismal depths. But then, as the philosophers say, who never handled a ball club, they all can’t win.

HILL DUE AGAINST COWBOYS Indians and Blues Tangle in Second of Series—Cold Weather Wednesday. By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 15. Barring no more interference bjj bad weather Carmen Hill was to get his chance to face the Kansas City Blues on the mound today out at spacious Muehlebach field. The Tribe veteran who wears "cheaters’’ was slated to pitch Wednesday, but cold weather forced the postponement of the second fracas of the series until the Indians make another visit to Kansas City. It was believed Evans would be Manager Abbott's mound selection this afternoon. Manager Bush of the Tribe said this morning he probably would use Ned Niles in the box ift the Friday engagement here, whlcn will close the opening series. If it isn’t Niles it probably will be Carl Ray, southpaw, Bush stated. The Hoosiera are due to jump out of here Friday night to go to Milwaukee for a series starting Saturday. Bill Burwell, tvinning pitcher opening day, will bo used against the Brewers Saturday or Sunday. The Indians took a long batting drill at Muehlebach field Wednesday afternoon, and in that way avoided having the day a total loss. Because of cold weather fielding practice was not attempted. The immense grand stand at the park is built of steel and concrete and the few people rvho watched practice soon were frozen out. The athletes hurried back to the Coates House after practice and watched the pi ogress of games elsewhere as scores were received by a ticker in the lobby.

The boys were still discussing the seniatlonal form displayed by Pltrher Jes Petty against the Giants at New York Tuesday. It was in the Coates House several years ago that Owner Smith of the Indians handed over $5,000 that made Petty the property of Indianapolis. Last spring fin* pitcher was sold to Brooklyn for $26.The Hooslers have been thwarted by the weather several times this spring when games were seheduled. Sl* exhibition contests were rained out and one loaguo affair frozen out. The- lost of the boosters from Indianapolis. who name to Kansas City to witness the opening struggle Tuesday, left for home late Wednesday night. Kansas City baseball soribes admit the Indians are strong, but question the ability of the Tribe pticlilng staff to carry on. That's where Bush must strengthen, but he resltzw the fact and Is urging Cleveland and the Giants to hurry along with tho hurlers promised Indianapolis. Spencer Abbott, new manager of the BUiee, charges at umpires ill Nick Allen style and probably will be chased from parks frequently this season. He Is of the type who “must have his say." .Timmy Zlnn. who was driven off the mound by the Indians In the opener Tuesday, was seen around town Wednesday and his well-known sardonic grin was absent.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Champ’s Story Refuted Eye-Witness of Shelby (Mont.) Fiasco Has Different Version of Affair Than Dempsey.

By Henry L. Farrell, United Praia Statl Correspondent NEW YORK, April 15.—Jack Dempsey, who has been trying his trusty right hand in the authoring business while it is out of action os a fighting tool, made some interesting observations in a recent series telling why he had dissolved his business partnership with Jack Kearns. Dempsey said the one reason why he failed to knock out Tom Gibbons in that memorable Shelby fight was that his life had been threatened and that he wss in such danger that he had to pack his corner with gunmen. Silly Story To those who were present during the hectic financial scrambling preceding the fight, this story is silly, ridiculous and absolutely false. Dempsey, if he really be’ eves it. must have taken the word of some informer who was greatly misinformed. Dempsey was not as popular In Montana ns was Gibbons, but the sentiment was not directed against him personally. If there had been any gun play Kearns would havo been the logical target. As far as public display was concerned there was only one gun in Shelby and that swung in the holster of the town cop who boasted that he never had to use it and he always got his man. There were no bulging hips adorning the persons of tho natives and the weather was such that a weapon could not havo been concealed. Police Vacation There were no dangerous looking characters on the street or in the arena the day of the fight. Most of the police force and the detective staff of the Great Northern Railroad had been mobilized to pick out stray crooks and they said they enjoyed a perfect vacation. Dempsey made much of a bottle that was tossed Into the ring but it was directed at a photographer by an Impatient ringsider who wanted to see the fight started without more long delays. The writer know cither personally or by sight nearly every" holder of a seat within six rows of the ringside and he knows that there wasn’t a gun there for Dempsey. UNOFFICIAL OPENING Sixteen of Eighteen Holes Ready Saturday at Coffin Course. Tho Coffin golf course will hold its unofficial opening Saturday. George Stark Will remove the cups from the temporary greens on sixteen of the eighteen holes and only holes 13 and 15 greens will remain on the fairway sod. The bent grass greens are in fine shape and early season golfers obtain a fine “break” in being allowed to play on the velvet putting greens this early in the season. Many transient golfers play the Coffin course and Wednesday twif told Stark that it was, in their opinion, orie of the greatest municipal courses in the country.

Confidence of Manager Harris Not Misplaced as Hurlers Deliver. Bu United Pres* NEW YORK, Aprik 15.—" They may be old fellows, but they’re plenty good for me,” Bucky Harris remarked in Tampa several weeks ago about his Washington pitchers. Harris was not backward in predicting that the Senators would win another American League pennant and he said that Walter Johnson, Stanley Coveieskie, Dutch Ruether and Joe Bush, would hurl the team over the Philadelphia, New York and St. Louis jumps. The season is yet in its infancy and 152 games are a long stretch ahead, but it seems already that the confidence of the youthful Washington manager in his veterans has been well placed. It doesn’t mean too much for a young pitcher to go out and pitch great ball in football weather, but it does mean a lot for veterans like Johnson and Coveieskie to turn in the games they have just delivered. Facing the club that has been picked by many critics as the champion and a club that is certain to be a most dangerous contender, Johnson and Coveieskie gave the Athletics one run in twenty-four innings and administered two sound beatings. Early pitching so far has been rather surprising. Several loose games have been played, but they were the result of bad weather more

LOOK WHO’S ON TOP IN NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE! Philadelphia Holds Lofty Perch for Moment, Anyway— Senators Appear Natural as American Leaders. Bu Times Special t t NEW YORK, April 15.—Two more excellent pitching pferformances, a couple of hatting sprees and the unusual spectacle of the supposedly lowly Phillies all alone out in front in the National League, featured the second day of the 1026 baseball season.

than any mechanical deficiency of the pitchers. John McGraw, manager of the Giants, said all the pitchers he had watched seemed, to be advanced further than the batters, but that conditions might be reversed as soon as the weather gets warmer. H. S. ACTION DEFERRED Western Indiana Principals Vote Against Basketball Conference, Bu United Press CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., April 15.—Members of the Western Indiana Principals Association today stood opposed to immediate action for the formation of a basketball association of western and southwestern Indiana high schools. After a lengthy discussion of the situation, the principals voted to hold up action until next year and watch the development of tho conference leagues in other sections of the State.

And remember this: No expense spared to make Camels the finest of all cigarettes, regardless of price. If you want the smoothest, mel-low-mildest cigarette you ever put a match to —one entirely free front cigaretty after-taste —just try Camels. Compare them with any other cigarette. Our promise is—you just can’t smoke enough Camels to tire the taste. But you’ll get such mild and mellow goodness as you never hoped to find. Hare a Camel!

Tho Washington Senators, thanks to the pitching of old Stan Coveieskie, occupy a similar position in the American League, having once more trampled upon the Athletics, youthful challengers for the pennant which has fluttered in the capital for two successive years. Inclement weather caused cancellation of games in Chicago and Detroit and attendance figures elsewhere fell off tremendously at all parks, a scant 6,000, for instance, showing up at the Polo Grounds to see the Giants even matters with the Dodgers. Batting Spree The Yankees and the Rod So* indulged in another batting spree at Fenway Party, with Boston on the long end of an 8 to 7 score. Hoyt, Pennock and McQuaid of the visitors were touched for fifteen hits, while “murderers’ row’’ garnered eleven safeties off three Sox Iwirlers. These two teams have made a total of fiftysix hits in the first two games of eht season. Pat CoUins, the Yankee catcher, (Turn to Page 14)
