Introducing ‘Four Horsemen' of Cubs

NOTRE DAME had a backfield a few years ago that was titled the "Four Horsemen’’ and it !;■.f ; up to its name against rival football teams. The Chicago Cubs have a quartet they term in the same manner this season and it should live up to its name in the baseball world as well as Knute Rockne's famous nackfield did in football.

thing I’ve said all spring—that is, that the Yankees have the punch—and U's a toirlj, matter to stop any club that has the wallop. Our pitching Th da wasn't so hot. The weather was too cold for anybody to pitch much bail, but we had the other thing to help us—and where pitching failed we had base hits to carry us through. it wasn’t an easv game—not nearly as easy as the scoie would indt-

cate. Bill Carrigan has a fighting, pcupy team this year and they re never licked until the last man is out. Take it from me, the Red Sox are going to win a lot of games this .season if they don’t lose their pepper. The thing that impressed me most about that game Thursday, however, was the balance of power in the Yankees’ lineup. I got a home run and Lou got one. And we re | happy over that. Bu:, even without these homers the Yankees would have won—simply because they had a punch all down the line, when it was needed. To me, aside from the hitting, the outstanding feature of the game was i the relief pitching of Freddy Heimaeh who came in to relieve George ; Pipgras. Freddy was in a bough spot, be- ! heve me. The bases lull, only one 1 down add the Sox in the midst of a rally. But he got away with it became he kept his head and pitched bang-up baseball. It s just ai t er example of the old fact that it takes experience and knowledge out. there on the mound along with i a curve ball and a fast one. The worst feature of the game for ! me was the near mobbing that I got at the finish. I was so completely buried in kids I couldn't hardly

Babe Ruth Says: •We've Got the Old Punch Right Down the Line.’

NEW YORK, April 19.—I'm a happy guy today and 1 guess I should be. Anew wife. A nice home run to start the season, and the Yankees winning their opener. You can't beat that, can you? Thursday's' game just, goes to prove the

breathe and for a couple of minutes I was afraid I never would get out all in one piece. Much as I like my friends, the kids, there are times when I wish they weren’t quite an demonstrative. They're hard on a guy’s health. Today we get the Athletics in a three-game series. It ought to be a wow. Those boys are hitting pretty well, too, I understand —and it looks like a clouting series. But we’re ready for ’em. If there's any club in the league can cut clout us I'm dizzy. John Hennessey in Semi-Finals Hit lim< s Special WHITE SULPHUR. SPRINGS, W. Va., April 19.—John Hennessey of Indianapolis was to meet Wilmer Allison in one semi-final match of the annual Mason and Dixon tennis championships here this afternoon. Francis Hunter was to meet John Van Ryn in the other contest to decide the finalists. In Thursday's play Hennessey defeated Ehret Howell. Philadelphia, 6-1. 7-5, and Herbert Bowman, New York, 6-1, 7-5.

French flyweight, on a foul in the fifth round here Thursday night. • There were three judges, one French, one American and one Swiss. Tire American and the Swiss concurred in disqualifying Pladner for a low left hook which floored Genaro for the count in the fifth, but the French judge refused to agree. When Genaro and his seconds left the ring, they were attacked by spectators. When the rivals met last month, the Frenchman won a knockout in the first round. ROUGH MATCH LIKELY Only Strangle Hold to Be Barred in Monday Wrestling. Only the strangle hold will be barred in the Ralph Wilson-Joe Banaski top match on the Cadle tabernacle wrestling card Monday night. Promoter McLemore has announced. Banaski, Polish mat performer, is said to depend a great deal on roughness in gaining triumphs. Four bouts are on the bill. The Wilson-Banaski struggle is no time limit, and the Don Cortez-Nick Karavas the same. The latter two wrestled to a draw last Monday. Bobby Chick, Texan, meets Charlie Swain and Bob Ellison opposes Jack McCarty in the time limit matches.

THE INDIANAPOLTS TIMES

Three in a Row!

Penner Slated for Duty in Scries Finale With Brewers. TEACHOUT SCORES WIN' Pitcher Steele Reinstated and Joins Betzel Crew. BY EDDIE ASH Times Snorts Kditor Following the scries windup tussle with the Brewers today, the Indians next well entertain the Kansas City Blues, who have been mauling the Colonels down in Louisville much in the manner the Tribe champs have bumped off the Cream City pastimers. Eddie Zwilling’s lads will be here for three games beginning Saturday and he is piloting what he believes will be a flag-contending team throughout the new campaign.

Clean Sweep Sought Making it three in a row over Jack Lelivelt’s Milwaukee athletes

Thursday, 4 to 3, the Bet zeli te s hoped to arouse more delight in local circles by making it a clean sweep this afternoon and Ken Penner, formerly of Houston, veteran righthander, was slated to do the chucking for the home nine. It was believed the visitors would use Lefty Willis.

. ..

Penner

Betzel's Tribe pitching staff was increased by one today when Bob Steele, veteran southpaw, reported after being re-instated in organized baseball by the national board. Steele jumped the Indians in 1920 to mix with the diamond outlaw's and last season he kept himself “pure” by remaining away from the ineligibles, which was his "punishment” before being granted league privileges again. There also was a fine attached. Tribe fans got a peek at Bud Teachout, new southpaw from the coast, in the Thursday fracas and the tall flinger scored a fine impression in his A. A. debpt by holding the Brewers runless until the eighth inning. Three of the visitors’ seven hits came in this round, two being infield scratches. A walk was included and Milwaukee counted three runs—its day’s total. Monahan scored for the Indians in the second with the first marker of the afternoon when he singled, and Connolly and Metz doubled. In the third Matthew's got a life on Miller's miscue and crossed the plate on Layne's solid double to right center. Two Connolly Doubles

In the sixth a walk to Barnhart, Monahan’s sacrifice, Connolly’s second double, a wild pitch by Gearin, a walk to Metz and Sprinz's infield hit accounted for two more Tribe runs, the one driven in by Sprinz proving to be the winning tally. Dinty Gearin hurled six rounds for the Brewers and Fons finished, making eight pitchers used by Jack Lelivelt in three games, whereas Manager Betzel used only three, or one to a game, an-unusual thing in baseball for this time of the season. Florida climate agreed with Bill Burwell, Ferd Schupp and Bud Teachout. tt a Teachout was inclined 4o wildness Thursday, but he more than made up for five walks by registering six strikeouts. He had not pitched in a game since two weks ago yesterday, when the Indians were in Daytona Beach, and under the circumstances his performances was'rated exceptional. a tt tt Joe Sprinz was struck behind an ear and knocked to the ground by a Gearin pitched ball in the fourth, but recovered shortly and remained in action to have the honor of driving in what proved the needed run to win. tt tt B Herman Lavne stole second twice, the onlv thefts of the contest. Layne's double’in the third was a near homer as it bounced against the low wire fence in right center, tt u a Leonard Metz poled two doubles and drew a walk in four plate appearances. And he protected third base in style. The former Western leaguer is tied with Matthews in the swat averages. * Same old Matty. He reached base three times, on a single, error and once he was struck by a pitched ball. He made the game-ending out by going deep in center to snare Luce's towering fly. tt tt tt Each team put through two double plays. Toledo is leading the league in this respect with eight in three games. tt s tt Two Tribe spills were recorded, Teachour going to the turf on Bettencourt's sacrifice in the fourth and Connolly losing Pinch sHitter Judd's grounder in the eighth when his spikes stuck and pulled him down, the ball going as an infield hit. It paved the way for a rally that the Indians had. trouble stopping. a a tt Teachout fanned two Brewers in the nir'h. McMenemy and Dunham, who **un? for Fons. tt tt tt Today was the first "ladies' day” of the season and there will be another one Monday. it tt tt Paid attendance Thursday was 829. an increase of 62 over Wednesday. Going up! tt a tt Bud Connolly was injured in practice Thursday when he stuck the middle finger of his meat hand into a toss by Riddle and was forced to take out time for repairs. The nail was split and blood spurted. Bud played the full nine innings. however. There was some question about the keystone sacker being abie to perform this afternoon, for the digit became sore over night.
