WOODSTOCK CLUB, where they entertain national clay court tennis championships in the summer and ice skate courts in the winter, also has its golfers, and these golfers really golf where perfect golf is difficult. Woodstock boasts of one of the sportiest nine hole courses in these parts, and for the membership, which is always up to maximum, the committee on golf has offered a snappy 1930 schedule. Opening April 26 and closing Sept. 4, the list of events calls for blind par tournaments, June handicap tournament, flag tournament, ball sweepstake events and club championship. a a tt Fred Schdpp again Is superintendent of golf at Woodstock and Fred really takes care of the golf business. When a green isn’t working right, Fred looks it over and then looks after the overhauling. If somebody's game goes bad, Fred takes ’em off to the side and soon

a slic£ or a hook is gone and another golfer is going around. If the boys have difficulty hitting a green. Fred looks it, over and maybe by next spring they have the largest green in the city to shoot at. Fred’s job is to make golf at Woodstock a pleasant sport and that is what he strives to do. Apparently, he accomplishes it.

TRIBE OPENER BEST AS ALL EASTERN TEAMS WIN

Cvengros Hailed as Hero for Sensational Victory Over Champs Mike Noses Out Tom Sheehan and Corriden’s Indians Triumph in Superb Inaugural; All Runs Come in Early Innings; Excitement Marks Ninth. BY EDDIE ASH The eastern half of the A. A. “took" the western teams all along the line in the twenty-ninth opening Tuesday and Indianapolis fans got the snappiest game of all, with Johnny Corriden’s Indians nosing out the champion Kansas City Blues, 3 to 2. And with the annual

• inaugurals out of the way the teams settled down today I to the long drive that won’t end until Sept. 21 to comI plete 154 battles. The Blues are here through Friday | and they will be followed by the three other western | teams before the Tribesmen hit the road for the first time. 1 Courageous Mike Cvengros, the hustling Dana (III.) j southpaw, was burdened with the task of opposing Tom Sheehan in the box in the local lid-lifter, and Mike lived up to the faith placed in him by Manager Corriden. More than 6,000 fans turned out despite threatening weather and it’s a good guess every rooter remained there until the game-ending out. It was a thriller all I he way, with both nines sparring for points in a carej ful, methodical manner and the defense w r as superb, I the one error, a bad throw by Knothe, not counting in i he run making. 1 Cvengros got the side out in order in the first round, and after two Indians were erased, Len Koenecke smote

the sphere for a double and scored the first marker of the season on Barnhart's single. In the second stanza Hoffman singled, Monahan tripled and Crouse singled before Sheehan could settle, and it was that explosive rally that enabled the Indians to win.

—Washington Park Chatter— —BY EDDIE ASII— •-

IF any one was entitled to do a war dance after the Indians’ brilliant opening day victory it was Pete Monahan. The popular first sacker couldn’t get his eye on the ball during spring exhibition games and then he stepped out Tuesday for a perfect day with a single, double. triple and walk. He was the outstanding surprise package of the afternoon. tt tt tt Sacrifice bunts by Sicking and Cvengros were perfect. In the eighth Crouse advanced Hoffman from second to third with a fly to Smith. Hoffman scooting for the hot comer after the catch. tt a a IN the eighth after two out Sicking tock two bases on Knothe’s low throw and Sheehan issued a pass to Koenecke, whom he feared in that spot. Thereupon Sicking stole third while Tom held the ball as he stood on the mound planning against Barnhart. And Barney finally went down on strikes. u tt tt A double play, Sheehan to Knothe to Kuhel checked the Indians in the fifth and in the sixth an important two-ply killing was executed by the Tribe. Gerken opened with a single and Kuhel stroked hard to Sicking, who tossed to the Rabbit and the Tribe shortstopper rifled the sphere to first just in time to double Kuhel, who is gifted with speed and bats lefthanded. a u tt TWO former Indianapolis pen-nant-winning pilots took In the contest. Charlie Carr. 1908, and Jack Hendricks, 1917. Eddie Zwilling, popular boss of the Blues, played with the Tribe 1917 champions and was a hero of the “little world's series” that fall, when the Indians knocked off Toronto. Dutch used to pole the ball over the high right field wall here in the days when the sphere was minus jack rabbit packing. tt tt a Hearts fluttered in the ninth when Grigsby’s tall fly kept soaring and Hoffman kept moving with it to-

Babe Ruth Claims to Be First Player to Have Homer ‘Radioed’ Into Double

BY BABE RUTH PnLLAUtDFmA, April 16.—It’s always good to get that first game of the season over with. Somehow, when that first one is out of the way, a fellow sort of feels as though he can settle down to the grind of playing baseball. The first game is always more of a show than it is a ball game. The first games run Just about true to form. Washington figured to win from Boston; Detroit, on sheer hitting power alone, seemed to have something on St. Louis. As for the Philadelphia-Y’ankee game, first blood goes to them. They played nice heads up baseball back of some very nice pitching by Lefty

Sheehan Doubles The K. C. runs were registered in the third on a single by Peters, Sheehan's double, Knothe’s infield out and Kuhel’s one-base poke. And that was all for either team, but threats came often in other innings to keep the fans clinging to their seats. On four occasions the Indians were in scoring position only to see Sheehan tighten and as for the Blues they got one or more runners on in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth. Going into the ninth with a single run lead, Cvengros disposed of Grigsby and Smith and had two strikes on Michaels when the K. C. third sacker singled. Michaels kept drawing throws to first and Cvengros kept pegging there to keep him close, for Big John Peters, already the author of two hits, was at the plate. It was a tense spot. Dramatic Moment And to make the situation more dramatic a balk was called on Cvengros and Michaels went to second. This caused an exciting argument, but not a thing could be done about it, and there was Michaels on the scoring bag. The Blues whooped 'er up on the sidelines trying to upset Cvengros, but he refused to crack and caused Peters to bounce to Freigau, who tossed to Monahan for the final out. The crowd surged on the field and the Indians came in for wild acclaim as they gleefully worked their way to the clubhouse. There were not many in that crowd who thought the Indians could “take” the baffling Tom Sheehan, the lead-off flinger of the American Association champions.

Perspiration popped out on more than one brow before Clarence clutched the ball. a a tt IN the eighth with two down McMillan crashed a long single to center and tried for two bases when Hoffman juggled, but the Tribe flychaser cut 'er loose with a dandy throw 7 to Sicking and the flying K. C. runner was nailed sliding. a tt tt In the third Kuhel tried a theft of second and Crouse’s throw to the agile Warstler cut him down. Gerken tried out Freigau on a bunt in the eighth and got tossed out on a neat throw. an* WTien the Indians leaped on Sheehan for three consecutive hits in the second Fette was rushed to the bull pen and In the third when Cvengros got Into hot water Bill Burwell started warming up. tt a tt Barnhart's one chance In the garden was on Knothe, first man up. wbo gave the ball a ride for a long “sinker,” the kind not easily caught. tt tt tt McWiUiam's hot shot in the fourth was going for a hit until Cvengros thrust out his glove and the sphere stuck. a a a Michaels drove Koenecke to the fence in the second, but powerful Len made the catch before crashing. Smith was on base at the time. a a a Bald attendance here was 6,099. Louisville drew the best weather and had a Eaid gate of 11,036. Toledo and Columus crowds were held down by rain. Indians.

I'll hand them that. They played with assurance and pepper, Just as they did in the world series against the Cubs. But they showed the very thing I've talked about all spring, and that is a weakness on the infield, particularly around short and second. a a a WHAT put them over Tuesday was the pitching and if they win the pennant again this year It

As for the Yankees there are no apologies. We weren’t hitting Tuesday, which may be our fault and may be Groves'. The fact remains that we had plenty of opportunities to score, and didn’t take advantage of them. We all were guilty equally. I had chances to drive in runs and fell down. So did Tony. So did Lou.

afield, too, that hurt, the sort of lapses that you won’t see often during the season. Our pitching was good enough to win most ball games. A lot of critics claim that weak pitching will cost us the pennant this season, but it wasn’t pitching that hurt us Tuesday. Pipgras and Johnson both did well, and I’ve got a sneaking hunch that Henry Johnson, if he continues to pitch as he did Tuesday will cause those A.’s plenty of trouble before the season ends. It was Henry, you may remember, who beat the A.’s six straight times two years ago, winning five of those decisions ever Lefty Grove.
