Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

\TEW YORK. April 17.—An or--1 panfzatlon known as the Loyal Giant- Rooters gave John Joseph McOrav and his ball club a presearon sendoff at the Blltmore hotel the other night. Ti'. r re was a great, deal of ehattrrinc by eminent persons, the gist of which was that the Loyal Giants' Rooters were bark oi IcGraw and his demon athletes to a man. There wa a ciear deal of yip-yipping and atta-bcying. It was all very serious and sincere. a a a On behalf of himself and his gifted gladiators. Mcfirau ar-c-pled the expressions of loyalty ar.d rnf hiisias.-n in the fine spirit in v ,i>h they were presented. He wanted everybody to know that he and bis noble artists deeply appreciated the high and sacred sentiment of the gathering. a a a Hr ALSO SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT THE GIANTS WOULD BE IN THERE TRYING ALL THE TIME AND HE SAID IT IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO IMPLY THAT THEY WOULD BF. TRYING PERSONALLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE LOYAL ROOTERS. a a a I THINK it was Eddie Brannick. 01 e nj the undersecretaries of the Giants executive force and a ha ci-oitnui realist by nature, who nt this point mumbled In the depths Oi his demi-tasse. Os course this wasn't, very tactful on the part of B s i nick because the loyal rooters p-nbably mean all right and besides ji -aMy ot this sort, is a fine blurb ’or the opening day crowd, if nothing else. a a a Rut Brannick has been around a great number of years and has no little experience with the v.'garfes of the baseball enthusi-..-t, as he is euphemistically iibeied. lie knows the cheers that bloom in the spring have nothing to do with the jeers that come with a midsummer slump. a a a SCIENCE HAS ACCOMPLISHED MANY MARVELS AND PHILOSOPHY HAS EASED MANY WOUNDS. BUT v OBODY HAS YET BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO KEEP A LOYAL BASFBAI.L ROr FR LOYAL WHEN THE ftOME TEAM HITS THE CHUTES. a a a TPRANNTCK may have been O H 'kins of the conditions uncer which the Giants started the race last season when public indignation simmered boisterously over the release of Rogem Hornsby to the Bostons, and petitions were circulated bv zealous crusaders pleading with the citizenry to boycott the ro’o Grounds on the ground that Charlie Stoneham was a traitor to the cause and John McGraw was a big so and o and you know what. ft tt tt Whrn (be season opened the effect of the relentless campaign was so noticeable that you could not act a seat in the park. Later in the season when the Giants were fiaht ng it out w’;h the Cards and Cubs for the pennant, one of those near riots was preempted by empire Klom who cat'"'! a Giant runner out on an Ipterfrrpnrp play in a game with the Cubs. a a a THERE IS NO BUSINESS IN THE worm WHER r so MANY non-partic-IPATING CUSTOMERS BATTLE SO VIOLENTLY FOR ITS SUCCESS. THERE Hx vF RFF.N VA NY INSTANCES OF THIS £Ol " H ARS TO PROVE TH AT POPUTAR DEMONSTRATIONS FOR OR AGAINST ARE ALWAYS SHORT LIVED. a a a All of which goes to prove that while three rousing cheers may soothe the ears, their marketable power i- practically nit.

Veteran Tribe Southpaw Faces Brewers as Buvid Goes to Slab for Milwaukee; Layne, Burwell. Warstler Shine in Lid Lifter. BV EDDIE ASH Sportn Editor With opening <j n y out of the way and all that went with ii glorious parade, fhri)l> and chills at the hall yard and the home nine on top, 10 to o—the Indians and Breviers settled down today to the regular routine of the new A.

Feed Schupp, the veteran leftie of the Tribe staff, was ■dated Uj fling the sphere i gainst the Milwaukee boys and it w as. believed In; would be opposed by Jack Buvid, a .•ijrbfhandcr. Denny Gearin also was announced as ready to answer the Brewer mound call. Fans who let the frigid atmosphere keep them away front the lid lifter Tuesday missed out on one of the most exciting first day struggles in Washington park history. Milwaukee massed a left handed attack against tlie wily Bill Burwell and he went righk ahead and cuffed 'em down with seven hits in addition to slashing an opportune single to launch the Tribe's first big rally. Homer With Three On! Herman Layne supplied the high spot by coming through with a

home run In the fifth with the bases filled and tlie manner in which the crowd celebrated and applauded that wallop certainly was wonderful. Layne caught the sphere just right and sent it soaring over the low fence in left center as left fielder Luce of the Brewers made a frantic leap that failed to prevent

i

the ball from going out of sight. The Tribe dugout w T as in an uproar as Herman circled the sacks behind Burwell. Warstler and Matthews. Ryan Knocked Out The homer put the Indians out in front. 5 to 4. and after that they fought like wildcats and in the seventh Rosy Ryan was knocked out of the box as another fat rally was staged that included another home run by Rabbit Warstler who

caused the rooters to howl in glee as h e scampered around the paths. Nine Indians batted in that inning and five runs scored Metz and Sprinz, each driving in two, with Warstler’s homer accounting for the other. Joe Eddleman, southpaw, relieved Ryan, but failed to stem the champions’ attack and he was removed

Four home runs were poled in the Tuesday fracas, and that in itself is an opening day feature seldom registered. Ivy Griffin of Milwaukee smashed one off Burwell in the first inning and Morris Badgro of the Brewers clouted one in the ninth. The big fellow nearly hit it all the way to Tulsa, where he starred last year. Fighting qualities won that encounter for the Indians and Manager Betzel was strutting like a peacock after the event—he was that proud of his boys. a a a Layiip hit for a total of seven bases Tuesday, getting a home run and triple. He also drew a walk that developed into a run. a a a With Griffin .stealing in the third Warstler came up with a low throw bv Sprinz and nailed Ivv sliding in. It was an exceptional p'.av bv the Rabbit, for the toss hit the dirt before it cot to him. The lad figured prominently in both ft rallies staged by the champs. a b a Miller of Milwaukee robbed Met! of a hit in the fifth hv sDrinting out into short renter to take the hall out of the air on the dead run. It was neat catrh for be barely reached It. Miller was all over the field as he colleeted eight putouts and four assists. 808 Joe Hauser amazed eservbodv bv capturing Warstler's wind-blown foul back of first base in the fourth. He took it running and nonchalantly iuat when it seemed to b# twisting out of reach. a b a With the sacks filled in the fourth Monahan's towering drive hit low on the scoreboard in deep right and only went for a single because the Tribe runners thought it would be caught. It was one of the longest singles ever scored. The breeze kept the drive from clearing the barrier for a homer. B B B None of the Browers got more than one hit off Re.iable Bill. B B B The Indians were stopped twice by double plays. B B B Matthews had the honor of scoring the first run of the season for the Indians when he was driven home bv Monanhan in the third. 808 Ten Indians batted before Ryan was solved for a safety. Matty breaking the ice in the third. But when the home lads started they kept going. BBS In the Milwaukee starting line-up seven men batted left handed against Burwell's right handed pitching.
