The national pastime calls! Thero is one day, in the springtime,- each year, that the baseball fan calls his “very own," and he won’t be talked out of it. It Is the opening day for the home team, and today was ‘‘lt’’ for Ownie Bush’s Indians. The homegrown manager galloped through the West since April 13, more than holding his own in enemy country, and thousands of fans turned out this afternoon at Washington Park to extend the glad hand to the energetic pilot and his Hoosler diamond performers. Tho contest was scheduled to get under way at 3 p. m., with Spencer Abbptt’s Kansas City Blues supplying the opposition. The booster parade in downtown streets started at 1:15 p. m and arrived at the hall grounds at 1:45. Ceremonies at Park There were some "stunts" preceding the encounter, Including floral gifts to the opfxislng managers, and flag-raising by a squad of Jdariuea. Mayor Duvall was slated to fling the first hall, and then the umpires were to take charge and command the battle to start.

Kansas City, tylpril 13, and won. but it did not happen to be Bill’s % turn to work today, and Bush desires to keep Ills mainstay hurlers performing in order. Hill defeated lhe Millers in Minneapolis last Saturday and also was in a few Innings against St. Paul Monday. Henry downed the Millers last Thursday. But-well hurled a full game against the Saints Surfdav, and won. Therefore, both Hill and Henry were "due" for mound assignment before Burwell, and that was the only reason Bush did not figure on using Bill this afternoon. The Kansas City Blues reached the city at 10-30 a. m. Manager Abbott said he would use Meine, a righthander, to face the Indians on the mound. The Blues got away to n. slow start this season, but have picked up in form recently and expected to offer stiff opposition this afternoon and during the remainder of the series, which continues through Sunday. Weather forecast for this afternoon indicated the teams drew a splendid day for the Ijidlanapolls opener.

PAVING BETWEEN TICKS IS BAD, i SAYS OFFICIAL Shaneberger Raps Street Railway at Bus Hearing —Seek New Routes. A vigorous thrust at the Indianapolis Street Railway Company for “not showing a fairness in maintaining paving between its tracks and being entirely dilatory in making repairs,” came from Roy C. Bhaneherger, hoard of works president, at a public hearing on the bus question at city hall to'lay. An assembly of city officials, bus and street railway representatives, called by tho park board, heard testimony concerning petitions to operate busses on Meridian St. and Capitol Ave., filed by the People's Motor Coach Company and the Indianapolis Street Railway Company. No decision was reached. Difficulty Experienced Shaneberger said the board of works had considerable trouble with the company over the question of street repairs. He SRld "there ij danger of seasickness on the Pennsylvania St. line." Among the arguments pro and con propounded by various speakers were; That the Tndlannpolls Street Railway Company pays nearly $400,000 taxes a year, employs 1,792 men and pays over $2,500,000 annually in wages, gives service at a reasonable rate ami deserves to operate without disastrous competition. That the rrmeage of the street car company is that for a population of 150,000 only and has been extended only five miles in twenty years. That busses will diminish the number of cars in downtown traffic and thereby aid parking facilities. That by street car it requires one and one-half hours to go from Brightwood to Riverside Park. That busses will wear out the paving for the two arterial streets. Higher Rate Seen That the street railway should remain within its province of operating electric cars on fixed steel rails and not invade the motor transportation field. That one-way traffic on Meridian St. is a “blooming nuisance,” tending to produce traffic anarchy on other streets and that “all this fuss to go fast is unnecessary." That higher street- car fare will result, making heavier burdens on the poor That fifteen feet he taken off the sidewalk around the Soldiers' and Sailors’ Monument to relieve traffic congestion on the Circle. That the proposal to widen Meridian St. north of St. Clair St., should he carried out. SHERWOOD TO SPEAK Dr. Henry Noble Sherwood.
