FORTY-FOUR TO RUN IN FAMOUS BRITISH STEEPLECHASE

U. S. Pair Top List Whitney's Entries Conceded Strong Chance to Triumph. By United Press LONDON, March 26.—The gruelling grand national steeplechase with probably the richest lottery in history riding on the winning horse, may not be as lavishly betted as in years past, it appeared today, because of a combination of circumstances that has bookmakers scanning the entry list with anxious eyes. Forty-four thoroughbreds are expected to answer the bugle. The reluxtance of bookies to offer anything like tempting odds on mast of the horses expected to face the barrier at the Aintree course, Liverpool, Friday, depends somewhat on the harvest reaped by the public Wednesday when Knight Error pranced home to in the Lincolnshire handicap, first major event of the new flat racing season. In adidtion, heavy support is being given an unusually large number of so-called favorites and the odds seem destined to shorten still further. Jock Whitney’s bid for the first American victory in this century old event—Sir Lindsay and Easter Hero—are conceded excellent chances by turf observers, but a number of other horses are finding plenty of partisans willing to say It with money. Notable are Dintyre, D-tn, Ballasport, Alike and Rhyticere, all of whom performed capably during the past season. Curtain rose on the famous Aintree meeting today, with a great crowd watching the flat and steeplechase races preliminary to the running of the grand national steeplechase Friday. Today’s feature, the Liverpool spring cup, was won by J. D. Robertson’s prompitude. Fifteen started over the circular course of ten furlongs. The purse was approximately $5,000, with a cup.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Defense Is Weak Point Cleveland Club Has Bat Power and Strong Mound Staff. EDITOR’S NOTE—TM Is the fourth of a series dealing with 1931 prospects of the various major league baseball clubs. BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 26.—The Cleveland Indians are expected to start the 1931 American League pennant chase with the following lineup: Jamieson, If: Porter, rs: AveriU, cf: Hodapp, 2b: Fonseca, lb: Detore, 3b: Sewell, c: Goldman, ss: Ferrell, p. This practically is the outfit that finished the 1930 campaign in fourth place. It is a club with power aplenty at bat, better than average pitching, but only fair on defense. Cleveland may not be quite as strong at the plate this season with the dependable Joey Sewell gone to the Yankees, and Eddie Morgan, a holdout until a week or so ago, getting a late start. Johnny Hodapp is a fixture at second base, while Detore, a fine fielder and hitter who learned his baseball at Colgate, will stay on third as long as his legs hold out. If Detcre’s ability slips, Hunnefield, former White Sox infielder, or Burnett, ♦ho played third last season until he sustained a broken arm, will replace him. Hunnefield has played third, short, and second during training. Jonah Goldman, who played real baseball in the closing months of the 1930 season, is tagged for the shortstop job. Goldman is not much of a hitter, but is a whale of a defensive player. Sewell, Myatt and Sprinz will again handle the catching. Averill at center and Porter in right give Cleveland at least two high-class outfielders. Both men are strong hitters. Jamieson will start the season in left, but is almost certain to be displaced by Joe Vosmik, a slugging product of the Cleveland sandlots. Wes Ferrell, who won twenty-five games last year, again will shoulder the major portion of the pitching burden. Brown. Harder, Miller, Shoffner, and Jablonowski are the other veteran members of the staff who will be on hand. Hudlin, who slumped last year, seems headed for a come-back. The new pitchers are Fay Thomas of Sacramento; Howard Craghead of Oakland; Thornton Lee, a lefthander of New Orleans, and Oral Hildebrand of Indianapolis. GIRLS IN SEMI-FINALS Semi-final games will be played tonight in the Marion county girls’ gold medal tournament at East Tenth gym, with South Side Turners meeting East Tenth at 7:30 and Hoosier Demons opposing Real Silk girl’s club at 8:30. In games Wednesday Turners defeated Bobcats, 15 to 14; East Tenth nosed out Full Fashion. 11 to 8, and Demons tripped Indiana Wonders, 31 to 14. Suicide by Shooting MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., March 26.—Bruno Tatus, 31, draftsman for the Stefco Steel Company here, committed suicide by shooting.
