Playing

the Field ■—With Billy Evans"— mN doping the National League race, practically all of the exports placed four teams in what they called group number one. It consisted of Pittsburgh, N'ew York, St. Louis and Cincinnati. ** These teams were selected as cer-

tain pennant contenders. With the exception of Cincinnati, the early play of the favored four has justified the opinion of the critics. Cincinnati got away to a bad start. No doubt the absence of Hughey C r i t z,

f w.. m

Evans

liold-out second baseman, was a big handicap. Even with him back in the line-up the Reds have continued to falter. However, Cincinnati is not a second division ball club and will shortly prove that assertion. The pitching staff alone of the Beds is almost strong enough to insure a first division berth. There is none better in the majors. 01J) TlMfc FORM EORGE SISLER is again playing the ball he is capable of. His fine work at the bat and in the field has been a big factor in the excellent start made by the St. Louis Browns. George Sisler, quiet, unassuming and lacking aggressiveness, was never cut out to be a manager. Too much was expected of him. His club slumped and'lie went down with it. Too much worry played havoc with his play. Relieved of managerial burdens, Sisler appears to be himself again. He is smacking the ball with all his old-time vigor and prancing about first base as he did when conceded to be the greatest player of all time at that position. Sister's great comeback seems to prove that it is a mistake to make a star player manager, particularly when he is at the top of his game.

CLOSE TO RECORD , xyiEE where Carl Mays made I nine assists in a game with { Chicago the other day. The fielding of the underhand pitcher was the feature of the contest. } Nine assists by a pitcher in one game is quite a day’s work. It has been some time since any major league pitcher has turned* in that many. In looking over my baseball statistics I find that eleven assists is the major league record in both the National and American. It is a rather interesting fact that the three American League pitchers who share the record, all were spitballers. Ed Walsh of Chicago, Mel Wolfgang of the same team and George McConnell of New York. Spitball pitchers always have a good many assists, due to the downward break on the ball and the fact opposing batters invariably top it. While Mays isn’t a spitballer, he keeps his fast ball low and has a sinker that breaks much like the spitball. SOCCER TILT Fall River Wins Third-Na-tional Championship. Bn Ignited Press DETROIT, May 2. —Displaying real championship form, the Fall River, Mass., soccer Club romped to its third national title here Sunday before a crowd of 10,000 fans, defeating Detroit Holley Carburetors, representing the West, 7 to 0.

INDIANS COME FROM BEHIND TO WIN WEEK-END STRUGGLES

MERITS CAPTURE FEATURE Local K. I. 0. Leaguers Take Initial Tilt, 1-0 — Voyles Pitches. On the heels of the amateur opening Saturday, the semi-pro season in Indianapolis got under way at Pennsy Park Sunday and about 800 fans saw an exciting contest in which the Merits nosed out. the Vim Gingerales of Norwood, Ohio, 1 to 0. It was the K. I. O. League lid lifter here. ■ Virgil Voyles and two Buckeye hurlers, Peters and Shoals, engaged in a mound battle and errors threw the victory to the lengthy Hoosier flingor. Peters’ arm gave way in the third and he was forced to retire. Voyles Fans Seven Each team got five hits. Voyles struck out seven and received good support in the pirtches. Clark made two running catches in left field that had much to do with halting the visitors. Braughton, in center, also cut in with a catch of a line drive that he turned into a double play to kill off the Gingerales in the sixth when runners were on third and second. Schafer played good ball at second for the Merits and poled two hits. Braughton clouted two safe also and Clark got one. Ten Chances at Serond Keeman accepted ten chances at second for the Ohio boys without a miscue and Meckley, Norwood catcher, showed the boys something about a powerful throwing arm. The lone marker of the contest scored in the fourth inning. After one out Black was struck by a pitched ball. Gaalema forced Black, and In trying to complete a double play Andriott threw wild Jo first, Gaalema going to second. 'Dils let Brown's grounder get through him and Gaalema crossed the plate. On next Sunday the Hostess Cakes, another K. I. O. road team out of Cincinnati, will meet the Merits at Pennsy Park. Gingerale-Merit’ box score: Vims. ABH (FA!

So today Btuldy Myer plays with the Sox and Emory (Topper) Rigney joins the Senators. No money was involved. Harris apparently blames Myer for some of the slump that put the Senators in the second division of the American League. In Rigney he gets a man who batted worse than Myer last year and who was beaten out of a regular shortstop berth on the Boston team by “Pee Wee” Wanninger.

Tribe Extends Victory Parade to Six StraightHit in Pinches. ' s TEN INNINGS SUNDAY Betzel, Yoter, Anderson Help Schupp Triumph. Bu Times Special ST. PAUL, May 2. —The galloping Indians of Bruno Betzel had boosted themselves into a tie for four.h place in the A. A. standing today as they prepared to battle the fea-ints 'in the second fray of the series at Lexington Park. By downing the Allen crew Sunday, 3 to 2, in ten innings, the Tribesmen extended their winning streak to six in a row and they are the current sensations of the league. In Minneapolis Saturday the Hoosiers came from behind to beat the Millers, 5 to 4, and In the series opener with the Saints Sunday they again rallied to overcome an enemy lead, knotted the count in the ninth and won out in the tenth. Koupal and Speece pitched Saturday and Ferd Schupp went the full route Sunday. Johnny Anderson poled a home run in the extra round Sunday to capture the contest after Voter’s triple and Walsh’s sacrifice fly • had evened the score in the ninth. And Walsh proved an outstanding performer in the field when he made two brilliant catches in the tenth to check a threatened rally by the Saints. y * Manager Betzel contributed a home run in the third inning that kept the Indians within hailing distance of the Saints, who grabbed two runs in the first stanza.

Tribe and A. A. Notes

The Indians won Sunday on six hits against nine for St. Paul. There was a reason. Four of the Tribe safeties were for extra bases, homers by Betzel and Anderson and a triple and double by Yoter. Yoter also got a single. St. Paut filled the bases in the sixth with none out and Saint fans felt they were to view a “killing” right there, but Schupp tightened and blanked the home outfit. lleimach, fiouthpaw, gave Schupp a terrific struggle for honors and the rooters saw some exciting baseball. Voter and Kopf knocked down fieious drives in the course of the fracas that discouraged the Saints. Yoter’s triple in the ninth was a near homer. It struck near the top of the left field fence. Bruno Haas made a dive for it, but it was too high and Bruno was shaken up by the collision with the fence. The Rail rolled over near the left field foul line. Jim Walsh thereupon crashed a long fly to score Elmer with the tying run. Minneapolis lost to Louisville, Sunday, in a slugfest. It was the Millers’ sixth straight defeat. This is the team that won eight in a row before being set back. Harold Ware-tier, Indianapolis rookie shortstop, farmed to Qnincy of tjie Three-1 League, had a field day Sunday when his team slaughtered Bloomington. 17 to 5. He accepted 12 of 14 chances, scored two runs and got a single, double and home run. delayed home opener, postponed three days because of the death of Owner Borehert. drew 15.282 cash customers Sunday and the Brewers walloped the.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, May 2. —Performances at the Drake relays were superior in eleven instanpes to those at the Pennsylvania games, while the East had the edge in five events, a survey of the games reveals. However, it was conceded that good marks were impossible at the Pennsylvania games, due to a heavy downpour of rain which made the track and field a morass of mud. The athletes at Drake were superior in the 100-yard dash, high hurdles, ttvo-niile, broad jump, shot put, jevilen and discus throws, hop-step-and-jump, pole vaule, hammer throw, quarter and half-mile relays. Os the eastern marks, one was set by Anton Burg of a western team, the University of Chicago. BREAKS WORLD’S MARK Warm, Kokomo H. S. Star. Shatters Intcrscholasfcic Pole-Vault Record.

A LESSON ! Lives of great men all remind us We can maka our lives sublime; And departing leave behind us More par 4’s . . . instead of 9’s. •j. EVER in the history of the \ Indianapolis Country Club has a golf season got away to such an auspicious start as took .place Saturday. More than sixty I players entered the tournament for the trophy. Lou C. White carried off the honors with a low ■ net 73. Bob Bowen shot the best ; round of golf, however, with a sparI kling 80. Eddie Zimmer, city champ, j did not get into the money. Eddie was on the practice green when we saw'him Sunday. While hitting them toward the cup he remarked he wouldn't bet more than a nickel on any putt he made. Which means ; that Eddie is in for much practice, and when Eddie starts practicing, it means tough sailing for those who have hopes of uncrowning him next month. Mrs. June Gibbs and her husband, Carl C., who is president of the Country Club, played together SunI day. Ed Welch, house manager at the J Country Chib, who made a hit in the way he entertained the participants ' of the Indiana State women’s tournament last July, is hack on the job. He set out a swell dinner for tlie club opener. About 1,000 players played IS holes at Riverside and South Grove. Sunday, 509 at the Grove and 463 at Riverside. Ralph Stonehouse, new pro at Coffin, said that old timers told him they never saw such a crowd there before. More than 400 names appeared on the starter’s sheet. Chick Nelson scanned the reservation sheet for next Sunday and it revealed that most of the play* j ers out Sunday have signed up and I paid for their next Sunday starting j time. The first foursome is reserved for 6 a. m. Chick sines | that any time before that is for sale. i The foursomes leave at threc- | minute intervals.

STRIBLING VS. TOMMY* TUESDAY / ; Georgian, Philadelphian to Open Outdoor Mitt Season in Brooklyn. Bu United Press NEW*' YORK, May 2.—Battling warm enough to make the spectators forget the still chill evenings j of early May has been promised by ! Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia, and Young Striibling, Georgia, who inaugurate the outdoor boxing seaI son at Ebbets iiefd next Tuesday night. For some reason or other, the usually amiable Loughran has conceived a violent dislike for his sturdy opponent, and has threatened to step ! out of character and knock the Georgia youngster kicking. Stribling, on the other hand, rej gards the fight as his big chance to | vindicate himself in the eyes of eastern sports writers who saw him do a week-kneed diving and wrestling act against Paul Berlenbach at Yan. i kee stadium a year ago. i Tommy lias been living along foe 'eight months now on the reputation : he gained when he boxed w 4 .(g j Dempsey at the former I Atlantic t ilt training i Most of tlic good 17.,-pounders have j been side-stepping Loughran sinco j that time. | Since he claims, in addition, to I have a grudge against, his opponent | of Tuesday night, the affair may pro* | dure some real fighting. The light i heavyweight situation depends upon • tlie bout’s outcome. Ts Jack De* j laney stays in the class, he must i meet the winner.
