*e Field With Billy Evans

—-jILCY MOORE, " 30-year-old YY/ rookie of the Yankees, looks like the pitching find of the year. It is the unusual for any recruit to step right into the big show and

make good. The happening is all the more remarkable when but little hope is held out for success, as was the case with Moore. Scouts who had looked Moore over in the “Sail y” League for various major

Evans

league clubs, turned thumbs down on his chances to make good. In all probability, his age, old to break into the majors, largely influenced the unfavorable decision. However, the Yankees management figured any pitcher who could win 30 games as did Moore last year must have something. The deal was closed despite the adverse comment from the scouts. It is possible that Moore will be a potent factor in the Yankees’ chances to repeat as American League pennant winners. With the season only a month old, Moore occupies the unique position of being the first relief pitcher of the champion Yankees. Quite a distinction for a busher making his big league debut. RESEMBLES CY YOUNG LD time fans will immediately recall Moore as a second edi- ■ tion of the great Cy Young, lie looks and pitches much after the manner of the Young of twenty years ago. There is, however, one marked difference in the style of the two pitchers. Young depended on a high, fast ball, which he kept breezing under the batter’s chin. Moore is a low ball pitcher. Cy Young's high, fast one took a nasty little hop as it neared the hatter and he was constantly popping the ball in the air. Wiley

Moore, who is called “Cy” by his teammates, depends on a low “sinker” for success, a delivery that acts* much like a spitball. Moore's “sinker” is usually topped by the batter, resulting in slow grounders to the infield. Moore has supplied the Yankees with an important asset Manager Huggins feared he lacked, a righthanded relief pitcher able to stand plenty of work. Moore has been dropped into a tough spot in practically every game in which he has played, and he has done a good job of rescue several times. I Has Courage OITRAGE under fire is an asj I set that few recruit pitchers I have from the very start. Even if they are game, it usually takes a certain amount of experience for them to work natural when under fire. As Moore steps on the rubber to do his stuff, even though the bases are filled and a. base hit means the ball game, he goes about his work hi a nonchalant manner that denotes

‘ T o^TP&-

confidence and courage. He pitches each ball with great care, despite his apparent careless style. Moore has already proved that he is courageous. He has yet to develop a good change of pace and his curve is nothing to brag about, but the “sinker” is enough, if he can Keep It low and get It over the plate. So far, he has. Wiley Moore, who took liis hero worship on the Matin Street of the \arious cities comprising the South Atlantic League last year, is now a much observed individual as he strolls down Broadway by the fans who know.

Johnny Noonan Owing to the fact that the team plays only one game each week, the Indianapolis Merits, local K. I. O. league representatives, carry but two pitchers, Johnny Noonan and Virgil Voyles. Both have turned in victories at the Pennsy Park Sunday attractions, Voyles winning May 1 and Noonan, May 8. They are former minor league flingers. Noonan is a home-grown and Voyles hails from Elizabethtown. Manager Gaalema thinks well of his experienced twirlers. The Merits battle the Oakley Club nine of Cincinnati at Pennsy next Sunday at 3 o'clock. The local pastimers have been playing snappy ball in the semi-pro league tilts.

Western Contenders Regarded With Respect— Small Field Expected. WHITNEY ENTRY LIKED Bn United Press NEW YORK, May 12.—The East will invade the West for this year’s Kentucky Derby with high hopes and some misgivings. As turf enthusiasts began entraining today for Louisville, where the great 3-year-old classic will have its fifty-fourth Running Saturday, it was the general opinion that 11. P. Whitney would send the favorite {0 the post with his Bostonian and Whiskery, first and third horses in the Preakness. . But dismal wails from the West that the Eastern brigade lias an outstanding edge this year were not echoed by the wiser horsemen. The Whitney pair should be hard to whip, but both had a gruelling race in the Preakness. They have just made the long journey to Louisville and scarcely will be as fresh and ready after those two trying experiences as horses on the ground. In the long history of the two stakes, only the great. Sir Barton ever won both. s The Easterners spoke with respect of three western contenders, any one of whom they regarded as likely to be up in front at the finish of the Derby. They were Rolled Stocking, suddenly developing Parrish colt: S. W. Grant’s Fred Jr., and E. R. Bradley’s Bewithusu__ Reports of Rolled Stocking’s worth and the sound drubbing (Turn to Page 11) GAME POSTPONED Showers Wednesday prevented the scheduled contest between Manual and Broad Ripple high school baseball teams at Garfield Park. The game was postponed until next Thursday.

... THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

[TURFITES RUSH TO CLASSIC Derby Has Same Old Appeal and Louisville Is ‘Full Up/ By Clark B. Kelsey, United Press Staff Correspondent LOUISVILLE, Ky„ May 12.—Special trains with the beauty and power of the country represented in the passenger lists began arriving in LouisviMe today as evidence of the universal movement of race lovers toward their Zion. \ Behind the strings of Pullmans came many of the lesser gentry of the sporting world, clutching the brake beams of freight cars. Special staffs of the trainers already had brought most of their 3-year-old charges through to Louisville. Throng Grows The crowd around the lobbies of the hotels, near the Churchill Downs track and on the streets was growing hourly. Already, hotel reservations were exhausted. The fifty-third renewal of the Kentucky Derby Saturday will be a record event and Kentucky hospitality will lie taxed to the utmost. * Cabinet members and Senators; railroad magnates and oil kings; baseball magnates and Governors—their wives and their daughters—will attend the Derby, and their presence is the particular element which makes the Derby different from other horse races. Mayor James J. Walker of New j York will lead one of the principal Derby delegations from Gotham. Others are coming from all the commercial and financial centers of the country. Chicagoans will arrive 1 here on thirty-one special trains. From All Points A special train from Cleveland carrying 500 turf fans was the first j of the Metropolitan race parties to | arrive Wednesday afternoon. Othj ers came in special trains and special cars throughout the night. Still j others will get here today and Friday while thousands are planning to come by automobile and train, arriving the morning of the race. Two specials from Cincinnati and Detroit are expected tonight. A group of New York investment hankers is expected from a convention at Sulphur Springs. Va. Officials of every railroad running through Kentucky have made arrangements for special trains to bring private parties to the race. Attendance at the race Saturday is expected by track officials to break all records.

Major League Comment

Da United Tress Old Cy Williams, who was playing major league baseball back in the days when the forerunners of transAtlantic airplanes were "flying machines," justified his continued presence In the game by hitting a double in the seventh inning of the CubsPhillies game which brought in two runs and won the contest for Philadelphia, 5 to 2. Babe Ruth got his eighth home iun of the season in a game which the all-but-unbeatable New York Yankees from the St. Louis Browns, 4 to 2. Ernie Nevers, Browns pitcher, was Ruth's victim. Ty Cobb, playing his first series in his old home town as a member of the Philadelphia Athletics, contributed two doubles toward beating his former team mates, the Detroit Tigers, 3 to 1. Jack Quinn, Athletics, and Ken Holloway, Tigers, pitched the way. Rain halted the Pittsburgh-Boston game in the eighth Inning after the Braves had scored two runs in that session to tie the score 4 to 4. A clean hit by Fournier, pinch hitter, saved the Braves from defeat. Jess Haines, who had won five straight games for the St. Louis Cardinals, fell down in the first inning and enabled the New York Giants to topple the St. Louis team out of first place in the National League, 10 to I.

SPEEDWAY RACE GOSSIP

Earl Cooper, racing veteran, who came back to the track with more vim than ar.y comeback in sports in many a year, branches out for the fifteenth annual 500-mile race as a real racing magnate. Earl has nominated four frontwheel machines for the grind. Cooper himself will drive one of the creations. Bennett Hill will be behind the wheel In one. Bob McDonogli will pilot one and Pete Kreis will jockey the fourth. Cooper drove a front-wheel bus in last year’s classic and became thoroughly enamored with the tractortype of racing car. Immediately after the event he formulated plans for the team he will command in the race May 30. Cooper’s cars were built In a local factory the past winter. Into the cars are built the veteran's years of experiences on racing courses. Changes he has made from conventional design are the result of mistakes he has driven. “Gasoline Alley,” at the Speedway is resuming, its natural appearance. Engines are being torn down and rebuilt for the race and the noisy chatter of the mechanics Is mingling with the clatter of tools and engine parts. Some of the cars already being worked on are Dave Evans’, Cliff Woodbury s, Eddie Hearne's, Leon Duray's and Harry Hartz’s.

WESTERN JOURNEY CLOSES Indians in Finale With Brewers —Lose Wild Fray Wednesday. Bn Times Soccial MILWAUKEE, May 12.—Indians and Brew’ers were slated to wind up their series here this afternoon, and it will be the last league performance for the Tribe until Sunday in Louisville. The Betzelites have an off day in the schedule Friday and Manager Bruno will take his pastlmcrs to Celina, Ohio, for an exhibition tilt. Celina is Bctzel’s home town. Two Games Sunday The Tribe-Colonel fray carded sos Louisville Saturday will be played a part of a double-header there Suns day. Milwaukee goes to Kansad City Thursday. Each outfit had a victory as they; squared off in the series finale here today. The contest Wednesday went twelve innings, the Brewers win* ning, 9 to 8. The Tribe pitchers were as wild as the weather and is* sued twelve bases on balls. In addition to the hurlers beinM off their “feed,” the Indians bad on the fcase paths and thers was some erratic fielding, despltd the fact only one error showed! against the Hoosiers in the box score. The Milwaukee scorers were liberal with base hits for the home boy’s. Walks Save Brewers The Brewers kicked several fielding plays also, but the dozen walks issued by Tribe flingers saved thelp hides. Leverett for the Indians and Op. woll for the Brewers, the Wednes* day starting hurlers. were forced to retire from the mound in tit* early innings and Leverett and Johnson finished. The Hoosiers held a 7 to 1 lead at one time, but “blew" It in the fourth on walks, scratch hits and a home run by Luce. Chances Passed I'p Poor base running cost the Indians in tto ninth and eleventh. In the tenth wie Tribe filled the bases with only one out, but Russell, totting for Miller, failed to deliver. Bunny Brief had the honor of driving in the winning run for Milwaukee on his fourth hit of the day. Elmer Yoter got four safe blows for the Tribe, one a circuit clout. The Indian shortstops, Kopf and Miller, are flat tires at the plate, and that position appears to be the one weak spot in the Tribe line-up. The short fielders can not bat as well as some of the pitchers. / GAME CALLED Bn United Press CHAMPAIGN. 111., May 12 —Darkness halted the Illinois-lowa Universities baseball game in the ninth inning with the score tied, 1 to 1.
