PRESIDENT BARNARD of the American League has pledged himself to the speeding up of the ball games in the junior organization. For several years the American League has suffered in comparison

with the National in this feature of play, due to the fact than any number of tedious delays have been allowed to creep into the playing of the game. When the American League made its fight against the National for recognition, snap-pily-played games

dominated the circuit and no one thing helped more to make the National finally sue for peace. tt tt tt Ban Johnson, former head of the American League, until late years constantly stressed the value cf action. In this connection I always recall a story that had Tim liurst as its central ligure. tt t> tt SOME years ago, due to the fact that a great many pitchers Were using the spitball delivery and the rest faking it in order to get the psychological advantage, American League games dragged.

President Johnson's pride was hurt. He wrote his umpires for suggestions as to how the games could be shortened as to playing time. All the umpires responded With logical arguments, such as the abolition of the spitball and the like. Tim Hurst, the court jester of the staff, treated the matter humorously. His reply read something like this: “If you are really in earnest about shortening the games, Ban, why not try seven innings?” American League umpires already have been notified to eliminate all avenues of delay. Constant stepping out of the batter's box on the slightest pretext will be taboo. No longer will the entire infield be allowed to gather around the pitcher in a huddle. Outfielders, who insist on coming into the plate to argue a ruling, arc sure to get into trouble. tt tt tt There never was a manager who did more marathons from the outfield to the plate than Fielder Jones as manager of the Chicago White Sox. n n tt ONE day after he had made several round trips at the expense of Tim Hurst, the umpire went out to meet him as he started for the plate a third time. Jones, realizing trouble was brewing and that Hurst would probably put him out of the game at the slightest pretxt, veered off in the direction of the shortstop, engaged that player in conversation and then started to retrace his steps to center field. Hurst standing in the center of the diamond, yelled: “You're going the wrong way, keep on to the club house.” “You haven’t put me out cf the game?” asked Jones. “Sure enough,” replied Hurst. “Why, I haven’t said a word, nor done a thing to get put out of the game,” remonstrated Jones. “It’s not for anything you said but for what you are thinking about me,” responded liurst and the decision stood.

Baseball Yankees’ Fast Start Similar to Opening of 1927 Season. MACKMEN IN CELLAR Braves, Tigers Both Move Slowiy. BY FRANK GETTY United Tress Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 17.—Baseball history has a way of repeating itself. A year ago the New York Yankees waltzed right into first place in the American League by winning six games before sustaining their first defeat, after which they never were headed. This season, to date, the pace the Yanks are setting and the quality of the opposition with which they are meeting justifies the belief of their supporters they will cut out an even faster pace than that of 1927, There are many lunny things about the current major league season, but none of them is the way the world’s champions arc playing baseball. Deprived of their second baseman and a couple of pitchers, the Yankees have set out to win ball games in a most convincing, matter-of-facc manner. Lou Clouts Fair Babe Ruth went through the first three games without a home run. but Lou Gehrig produced a couple, and the pitching furnished by Herb Penncck. Wiley Moore, Waite Hoyt and George Pipgras left little to be desired. Miller Huggins had Pennock ready to shoot right back at the Red Sox this afternoon, while several other Yankee twirlers were clamoring for a chance to break into the winning column while the winning is good. The Philadelphia Athletics, before the start of the 1927 season, presented the same sort of theoretical threat to the supremacy of the Yankees that they did when the current season opened. Last year, they collapsed at the tossing out of the first ball and failed to win one game in the opening series in New York. Today the Athletics were the only club in either league which had not won a single game. Sox Win First The Chicago White Sox won their first game of the year Monday after Ray Schalk, in disgust, had shaken up his line-up. Simultaneously, and for the same reason, the St. Louis Browns met with their first defeat of 1928. The Boston Braves also broke into the “games won” column for the first time Monday, while the New York Giants dropped their first of the year when Old Cy Williams clouted a homer in the eighth inning. West Side H.S. Squads Active This is a busy week for athletes at Washington High School on the west side. The baseball team plays Valley Mills here Wednesday and the Boys’ Prep nine Friday. Rowland Jones, coa?h, has weeaed the squad to a point where he is ready to announce the regulars. The Washington track team goes to Bloomington Wednesday to meet the high school there in a meet that will be held in the Indiana University stadium.

Big League Stuff

By United Press

Monday’s Hero—Old Cy Williams, j starting his seventeenth major! league season and now relegated to j the job of part time hitter for the j Phillies, drove out a home run with J two men on base and beat the New York Giants, 7 to 5. It was the first defeat of the year for McGraw’s club. Another club sustained its first | setback of the 1928 season when the St. Louis Browns faded and curled up before the masterly pitching ol A1 Thomas of the White Sox, who blanked them, 7 to 0. Thomas hit! himself a homer off Dick Coffman for good measure. Marty McManus, Detroit third baseman, was Monday’s goat. His two errors proved costly to the Tigers, who sustained their fifth defeat of the year, losing to Cleveland, 5 to 4. “Goose” Goslin’s bat contributed largely to the third successive defeat of the Philadelphia Athletics, who were beaten by the Washington Senators, 5 to 4. Burleigh Grimes, obtained by the Pirates from the Giants, was effective in his second start of the season, while the National League champions hit Eppa Rixey and Jim Edwards hard and defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 8 to 1. Guy Bush of the Cubs proved the right pitcher to stop the heavy hitting of Frankie Frisch and his fellow Cardinals, who went down to defeat, 6 to 3, when Chicago’s artillery opened up on Jess Haines. Earl Webb, W'ho is filling in for Hack Wilson, hit a homer. A mix-up over a pop fly cost Jess Petty his chance against the Braves, who won their first game of the year by beating the Robins, 3 to 2. George Pipgras’ pitching and Lou Gehrig's homer, his second of the season, help the Yankees defeat the Boston Red Sox, 7 to 2. BUTLER SWEEPsToURTS Indiana Central College tennis performers were unable to win a matche from the Butler court pastimers at Garfield Park Monday. Singles and doubles matches were staged. Results follow: Wilson defeated Demmary, 6-1 6-1 • Christophed defeated Null. 6-3, 6-1: Shear! er defeated Bailey, 7-5, 6-2: Orbison defeated Rider. 4-6, 6-2, 6-3; Wilson and Christopher defeated Dinley and Null, 6-1, 6-0: Shearer and Chandler defeated Butler and Kirk, 8-6. 8-6.

Kansas City Blues, Away to Fast Start, Take on Tribe Wednesday Indians and Saints in Finale Today: Boone, Layne and Jacobson Shine in Monday Victory.

BY EDDIE ASH QUPERB relief pitching by Danny Boone, the batting of Layne | and a smashing triple by Jacobson featured the Indians’ 5 to 4 victory over the Saints Monday and threw the series into a tie. The third and last fracas of the Tribe-Apostle go-around was carded today and when the pastimers from St. Paul move on the Kansas City Blues, league leaders, will invade Indianapolis for a stay of four days beginning Wednesday. 15-Inning Tic The Blues have been mixed up in two tie br.rtlss, their second nodecision contest occurring at Columbus Monday when darkness halted the athletes after fifteen innings had been reeled off and the score stood at 8 and 3. Nemo Leibold's “despised” Senators certainly have perked up this spring and are causing grief to opponents. The Tribe standing today was four won and one lost, a very creditable start. Ydc Knocked Out The hottest part of Monday's | struggle was the seventh inning ' when four straight hits off Yde knocked him out of the box. Until then, he had held the visitors scoreless, but suddenly he “blew” and Danny Boone was called in from the bull pen. And Danny put on the brakes, though there was some spotty fielding back of him before | he got the side out in the seventh. | Boone did not permit a hit in tYie | time he operated, two and two- | thirds innings, and he struck out two men. Manager Betzel made a j wise guess on Boone. Indians Come Back After the Saints captured the lead, 4 to 3, in their half of the sev- j enth, the Indians quickly rallied and scored twice to push their run total to five and victory. Herman Layne was in a slight hitting slump previous to Monday, but he came out of it—and how! He poled two singles and a double and reached first another time when H. Anderson, Saint third sacker, threw low after making a great stop of a hard drive near the third sack. The toss would have retired Layne if it had been good. The drive was of the near-hit variety, but Anderson made a clean stab of it without juggling. Drives in Two Runs The speedy Tribe gardener drove in two of the home nine’s five runs. The longest, sock of the tilt was Jacobson’s triple in the sixth stanza and he scored a moment later cn Holke’s sacrifice fly. The ball carried to the left field corner and scooted along the fence oack of Bruno Haas. It was the first “ladies’ day” of the season and a number of women took advantage of Owner Jim Perry’s courtesy and viewed the contest.

More Free Parking Space for Tribe Fans OWNER JIM PERRY of the Indians is dishing out more “jack” in an effort to please Washington Park customers. He has rented vacant ground just east of the park and is paying to have it graded for an additional free parking field. After the ground is levelled, cinders will be used to give it a sound surface. The other free parking ground under ball club control is the field west of the park.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Helen Harlan

five-mile contest between Bob Monroe of Indianapolis and Carl Wenzel of Cincinnati. Wenzel holds the world's mile record on the little whirling spools. A gold medal, shown above, will be given the winner of the girls' race.

There was a big difterence in the number of assists handled bv Saints and Indians Monday, the visitors making eight and the home nine twenty. Betzel hobbled on Anderson in the seventh and then turned in a eroat Olay on Gaston's drive back of second. He cut o!T a hit and Rot Gaston at first. Haas scored from second on it because Betzel first tried for a double olay. but Warstler also had started for the Gaston drive and second base was left uncovered Owing to the’ confusion. Betzel showed rare skill in being able to retire the batter. Morriiart staged a delayed steal in the first round and not awav with it because he beat the defense to the bag. Spencer nut the ball there in time to head o(T the runner had the base been covered properly. Bruno Haas was tossed out twice on close decisions and he beefed plenty. Actin'; Manager Gaston tried to start a few argon: ms. but the umpires managed to nuiet him before he got too rough. The Saints fuss over everything that's close. Haas Tor.fed on Lavne's single in the third and Herman promptly sprinted for second and m ide it. In other words, by bring aier’.. Herman got credit lor a doubl”. One Saint error figured in the scoring and likewise one Tribe nuscuc helped thtv visitors to a run. Yde played a snappy fielding game during his time out in the middle. Funk covered much ground in center for the Apostles. With two frone in the second Manager Betzpl singled and scored on Spencer's double to the right field corner. In the sixth session Gaston made a running catch ol a foul in front of the Tribe dugout. The Van Camp Packing Company, following its annual custom, will reward Indian home run hitters with a case of assorted can goods for each circuit clout on the home grounds. The Fit Rite Cap Company, through David Yaver. vice president. ofTers a Varsity cap for each Indian homer at Washington Park. If the Tribe finishes one. two or three in the race, each player will be presented a cap. Brillhcart and Moss, left-handers, staged a duel at Louisvl le Monday and the forme*- RO t, the verdict in eleven innings, the Millers winning, 3 to 1. Moss, the college youth, lost control in the second extra round. Waller Rehg. former Indian, had eleven putouts in left field for the Senators Monday in the fifteen-round tie battle staged with the K. C. Blues. Darkness halted action. Nicolai had a had day at short lor Columbus, booling three times on nine chances. Claude Jonnard reached form Monday and pitched the Brewers to victory over the Hens, 4 to 2 Bunny Brief socked a homer over the distant Toledo lcft-ficld lencc.

THE rush of smokers to 5-cent cigars is the outstanding fact of 1927 business, showing the positive return of 5-cent cigar quality. Wm. Penn, first representative cigar to challenge higher prices after the war, set the pace for the back turn to 5-cent cigars. First, when it was the only reliable 5-cent cigar, it is still first when there are many—first in quality —first in sales—and first in the fond acceptance of American smokers. Sheer quality, that’s it. Bulkier 5* cent cigars may catch your eye, lubberly, loosely-wrapped rolls of inferior tobacco, but only Wm. Penn has the fine tobacco that satisfies a smoker. Look for the Wm. Perm box at your dealer’s, and select from it the nation’s verdict on “a good cigar.”
