THAT old adage—“youth will be served” —is being bulleted around considerablely this spring in major league baseball. In this day of the lively ball and

slam-bang tactics, a shut-out is the unusual among the sixteen league clubs. Asa matter of fact, the New York Yankees were blanked only once during the entire season of 1927. That will give you some idea of what, a difficult

r jpsK V\ S;

matter it is for a team to hold the opposition runless for nine innings. Despite the adage that youth will be served and that whitewashing the opposition is a most difficult matter, two veteran pitchers in their initial start of the 1928 campaign turned in shutouts. tt tt ts Although veteran pitchers—any hurler over 30 years of age is so regarded—are supposed to need plenty of hot weather to be at their best, the twa feature pitching performances of the first week of play had old time stars pulling the hero stuff. Grover Cleveland Alexander, 41, and in his 18th year of n?ajor league baseball, stepped right out and scored a shutout in his first start. Even more important, Alexander didn’t pick any soft spot for his stellar performance. In white-washing the opposition, he used the kalsomine brush on the pennant-win-ning Pirates of 1927. Then, just to keep Alexander from hogging the spotlight, Artie Nehf, 37, blanked Cincinnati in his opening game, 2-0, being forced to bear down through the entire game. The fact that Cincinnati once gave Nehf a trial after John McGraw of the Giants figured him through, only to have the Reds turn him loose, must have made the victory all the sweeter. Nothing pleases a ball player more than to beat the club that gave him the gate. This is particularly true of a pitcher, and, of course, a shutout victory made the conquest all the more satisfying to Nehf. tt tt tt THE two unexpected shutouts scored by the 41-year-old Alexander and the 37-year-old Nehf are a real tribute to pitching art. There are few hurlers in baseball who give more thought to their work than Alexander and Nehf. It is more than a mere throwing contest when they ascend the mound. Back of every ball pitched is a desire on the part of the two to outguess the batter. The remarkable performances of these two old timers in their first start of the 1928 season is the best possible proof that could be offered to show him much there is to pitching aside from the mere mechanical angle. Use of the old "gray matter” has, temporarily at least, placed in the baseball background the theory that youth will be served.

Thursday’s Hero: Rogers Hornsby, who led the Boston Braves to a 9-to-8 victory over the New York Giants in ten innings. He scored the tying run in the ninth and drove home the winning run in the tenth. Hack Wilson hit two home runs and accounted for six of the runs by which the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 13 to 0. Joe Kelly, subbing at first base for the injured Grimm, smote four hits and drove in four runs. Sheriff Blake allowed the Reds only two hits. A crowd of 32,000 saw the Pirates lose the opening game at Pittsburgh to the St. Louis Cardinals, 13 to 10. There were thirty-one hits in the game, which required three hours to complete. The Pirates used seven pitchers. * Willis Hudlin held the White Sox to eight hits and Cleveland beat Chicago, 9 to 2, and moved into first place in the American League.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Herman Layne Twists Ankle in First Inning; Carried Off Field. ELEVEN VISITORS FAN Fluke Rally in Seventh Aids Kansas City. By EDDIE ASH It was a strange and puzzling sight to see the Indians go down before the league-leading Kansas City Blues again Thursday, 4 to 3, in ten innings. In the regulation time of nine rounds, eleven Blues fanned, nine by Schupp and two by Swetonic, while only two Indians were retired in that manner. Ferd Schupp pitched dazzling ball until the seventh and was leading, 2 to 0, when the crash came and somebody tossed a flock of horseshoes in the K. C. dugout. With Nicholson on first and two out, McGowan busted a double, scoring his mate. . A Fluke Double Michaels tried to evoid a pitch and the ball struck his bat and squirted over first base into short right field near the foul line ior a double, scoring McGowan. It was a murderous bad break for the Indians, yet that wasn’t all, the Blues had another horsehoe left. Wirts came up and got a single on a dinky fly in short right and Michaels scored, giving his team the lead, 3 to 2. The Betzelites tied the fracas in the ninth but they passed out in the tenth when Zinn doubled, moved up on Kuhel’s sacrifice and! scored after the catch on Gngsby’s line drive to Russell. The home nine had a runner on second with one out in its half of the tenth, but j a double play snuffed out all further chances. It was a huge piece of luck for Kansas City. Speedy Layne Injured In the very first inning Thursday the jinx crawled into the Tribe dugout and one more home athlete was added to the hospital list. Herman Layne, sliding for second, twisted his left ankle and will be out of action for at least a week. This speed boy is the star of the team’s outfield squad and his absence is a costly blow. Wid Matthews limped into action in the tenth stanza Thursday after being crippled since the last week of spring training, and Outfielder “Doll” Jacobson is not able to play regularly because of a strain. A crippled ball team, plus bad weather, plus low attendance represents Owner Jim Perry’s baptism into the A. A. race. He’s a bear for punishment, however, and holds to the view that all luck can not be bad. His optimistic disposition is encouraging, at least. Third of Series Today was “ladies’ day” at Washington Park and the Indians and Blues were to battle in the third tilt of the series with Bill Burwell the likely choice for Tribe mound duty. The locals played errorless ball Thursday and supplied the fans with several thrills despite the Cowboy victory. It was the fifth extrainning game engaged in by the Blues this season and they were hardened to the extra strain. And of course, Jimmy Zinn hurled in his customary effective style, Roy Spencer being the only Indian to hit safely more than once. Roy slashed out a home run and two singles, his homer being the first of the year for the Tribe. Pitcher Tom Sheehan. World War vet with the Kansas Cltv Blues, left the team Thursduv tor Kansas Citv to recuperate from a serious cold that has bothered him since the season opened. He hurled the opening game at Toledo April 10. but has not worked since. Tom preceded the Blues to Indianapolis to rest and he was slated to hurl here Wednesday, but after reaching the park his strength gave out and Manager Zwilling Thursday ordered the popular star to go to Kansas City for examination and treatment by the club’s home physician. Rch Russell made a f-.ie catch of Grigsby's “sinker” to deep right in the tenth. Thursday. It was on this drive that Zinn scored the winning run, the liner going as a sacrifice. Schupp got the side out In order In four of the eight innings he operated. T 1 e only error of the fracas was a bad throw by Catcher Wirts in the ninth. Spencer collected a Fit-Rite cap and a case of Van Camp’s assorted canned goods as a reward for his home run. He is batting .379. Catcher Wirts made a diving catch In a front box of Ilolke’s foul In the seventh. It was a remarkable play, the K. C. catcher leaving his feet and going over the wall head first. Spencer made a running catch of Moore’s foul in the eighth, taking the ball In front of the visitors’ dugout. All of Spencer’s safe hits were right on the nose. Anderson crashed against the fence In the seventh trying for McGowan's wallop and took time out to recover from the shaking up. Wirts took Swetonic off his feet with a drive in the ninth, but the Tribe hurler clung to the sphere and tossed to first for the out It was a vicious smack. Larry Winters, starting his first game for the Senators, tripped up the Saints, Thursday. 7 to 3. The Columbus club continues to be the surprise of the league. Timely hits by Shinau’t and Branom, former Blues, won for Louisville Thursday against Milwaukee, 2 to 1. Ernie Matin, former Indian pitcher, downed the Millers Thursday, 4 to 3. Maun poled a home run with on mate aboard to help win his own game. Minneapolis got twelve hits to seven for the winners. Mcssner. Toledo shortstop, accepted twelve chances Thursday without a bobble. A! Ellis, veteran Louisville outfielder, was sold today to the Dallas team of the Texas League. Ellis batted .338 last season, but the Colonel management Is trying to weed out the old-timers to make room for youngsters. Hank Schreiber. former Indian shortstop. is playing second for Beaumont in the Texas League. He was with Mobile last season.

City Bowling Gossip

BL LEFTY LEE Sensational shooting featured Thursday night’s games of the State meet at the Pritchett Recreation, the Newcastle Courier team taking the lead with a total of 3,013 securied on games of 987. 1,063 and 963. Hartwell, with a total of 644. led this club, ably assisted by Conrad with 632 and Kessei’s 611. After a s'.ow start of 928 the Nehi Beverage started hitting the pocket and rolled games of 1,034 and 1,047 to take second place with a score of 3,009. Every member of this club rolled In wonderful form, Clarence Myers, the president of the State Bowling Association, leading with 638. Spencer rolled a total of 614 to help ’’Dutch ’ put this c.ub across. Another real threat for top honors was the Coca-Cola of Terre Haute team’s come-back after a start of 8!)!). Their scoreshect for the last two games showed total of 1,0834 and 1,019, which puts them in seventh place with a total of 2.952. Oscar and Charlie Jensen had totals of 638 and 608, respectively. The 3-F Coffee team rolled consistent ten pins and took sixth place when they totaled 2,954. This team’s line-up of Cova’., Kemper, Westover, English and Hofstatter has been the same as long as any club in the city and the boys usually can be found among the leaders in the various tourneys they attend. Frank Coval had 625 to lead the club with Westover’s 608 a real help. Walter English had to be content with a count of 599. Rook led the Fort Pitt team into the money when he rol'ed a total of 613 for his three games. His teammates helped enough to bring this club's total to 2,868. The next best tofal of the night was secured by the K. of C. Cullcy Oil team of Terre Haute with a score of 2.791. Sfroot and B. Walsh carried the team with tetats of 615 and 611. Milt Wimberly had 602 for the White Mule Coffee team, but this club’s best effort was 2,792. Perce Henry was another pin eplller who could not get any help from his team mates. Perce cracked the maples for 615. but the best the McComas Coal squad could do was 2,700 fiat. With a very fitting speech, Charlie Cray presented “Pop’’ Hackard with a silver loving cup which local bowling friends of "Pop” had secured loi him in honor of “Frank B. Hackard night.” The presentation was made just before the start of the 9 p. m. squad Tuesday, and “Pep” thanked his friends for the token. The tribute was touching and all of the fans present were Impressed. Teams that failed to hit their usual stride were the reck Jewelry, Clown Cigarettes and Standard Grocery.. All of *he line-ups of these clubs were capable of bettsr scores, but they could not get going. Secretary Roy Stick had one for the book. Roy received a report that Dryer, one of the scorers, called up and said he could not arrive before 9:05 p. m. Dryer is a deaf mute. New stars come and go, but Oscar Jensen of Terre Haute still wears the crown as the best of them all from the’ “Hut.” Larry Lotz, a team mate of Jensen’s, secured two 300 games in practice during the last month. Larry has a wicked look. The local bovs missed Charlie Cade, a star of other years in Terre Haute bowling circles. Charlies has “retired" for the “steenth time” from the bowling game. Our guess is that he will be back next year. Tho women’s sweepstakes at the Uptown alleys resulted in a win for Mrs. Alexander with a total of 567 for her three gams. Mrs. Johns, after a poor start, finished with 253 for the high single game of the meet. This total pujled her into second p ace with 566. just one pin short of the lead. Eight stikes in a row made this score possible. J. Branner finished third with 549. The tourney will resume its assault on the maples with the 8 p. m. squad Saturday and heavy firing will be in order from then until midnight Sunday.
