IT IS hard to think of anything any newsier to mention in an opening paragraph than a "hole in one." When they begin to hang them up on 230-yard wallops, the news becomes a bit more sensational. It happened out at Speedway Sunday. Charles E. Shepherd, 2925 Ruckle street, was the pastimer. He hit one with a spoon on the ninth. It was then just a matter of a hop, skip and a jump into the old can. It’s true because Roy Pedigo, Herbert Powers and E. P. Derler were there to put out the old hand clasps. Incidentally, Shepherd made an 89 for the eighteen holes, Pedigo 101, Powers 103 and’Darler 94. Shepherd is with the American Radiator Company. a a a BILL HEINLEIN defeated George Lance, 2 up. That might be a headline result in any of the tournaments this coming season. The Heinlein lad is fight up and at ’em again this year. Bill gained his first tournament experience in The Indianapolis Times high school tournaments, beginning the
year he graduated from Holy Trinity and playing while he went through Cathedral. He won the title twice. When he didn’t win he gathered up the title of being the unlucky lad that lost extra hole matches. After he got out of school he' tried in the Indianapolis district championship. One bad hole

cost him the title two years ago. Last summer the field looked to Bill to take Lance in the Indiana state amateur championship. But this Lance is somewhat of a golfer himself. They play together at the Speedway. If one is off his game he usually gets “took.” Saturday they had another one of their matches and up to the thirteenth it looked like Heinlein was headed for the cleaners. Bill was two down on the thirteenth tee, but won 13, 14, 15 and 16 to go two up. Lance took the seventeenth, but Heinlein took the eighteenth and the match, 2 up. Bill scored 73 and Lance a 75.

Five games do not make a season I anc * things may happen before the race closes next September, but Washington’s record is particu- > fl larly impressive because three of the Senators’ triumphs were scored at the expense of Philadelphia.

Boston also deserted the unbeaten class, losing a 9 to 2 decision to the New York Giants. The Braves, who won four in a row from Brooklyn, were no match for the Giants and gathered only six hits off the delivery of Fred Fitzsimmons. Robins Drop Fifth Brooklyn dropped its fifth consecutive league game to Philadelphia, 6to 4. The Robins deluded a capacity opening-day crowd of 28,000 spectators into thinking they were going to win the game for seven innings. Then Lefty Clark weakened and Philadelphia scored four runs to take the lead. Brooklyn tied the score in the ninth, only to lose out in the tenth. Cincinnati joined Brooklyn in the five-defeat group, dropping a 5-to-l battle to Pittsburgh. The Reds found Ray Kremer for eight hits and profited by three Pirate errors, but were ineffective in the pinches and had fourteen men left on base. The Pirates got only nine hits off the combined delivery of Johnson, Kolp and Frey.

2 Crowns for Victor Lightweight, Junior Welter Titles at Stake in Battle. By United Press CHICAGO, April 20.—For the | first time in ring history two championships will be at stake when Tony Canzoneri of New York, lightweight champion, meets Jack (Kid) Berg ,of England, junior welterweight titleholder, in a ten-round ■ bout at the Chicago stadium Friday j night. i . Actually the bout is for the light- ; weight title with Canzoneri the 1 champion and Berg ths challenger, i but the Englishman’s 140-pound : championship will change hands if the New York Italian is victorious. There have been many matches j in pugilistic history between cham- ; piohs, but never before have both ; opponents made the weight in each division involved. Berg has to make 135 pounds, and Canzoneri will come in under this figure, making him eligible by several pounds for the junior welterweight title. If Canzoneri should defeat Berg, he will take his place in that select circle of fighters who have held three titles. Before he won the lightweight title, Canzoneri was featherweight champion. Berg, a little English Hebrew whose tireless style has made him one of the really great fighters of his age, is favored to win over Canzoneri. In their previous meeting in New York in January, 1930, when neither held a title, Berg survived a stormy first round and came on to give Canzoneri one of she worst defeats of his career.

Some of the home athletes who had not been hitting finally broke loose and nearly wore out the balls and Miller outfielders as they sent the pellet rolling to the fences.
The third and last fracas of the series was carded this afternoon, and cn Tuesday the Milwaukee remodeled Ercwsrs will move in for a four-game stand. Today was “ladies’ day,” ar.d it was believed Manager Cprriden would assign Oral Hildebrand to the mound. The former collegian was pitcher No. 3 in the Tribe box on the Sabbath, working only one inning, and owing to the fact he operated on the firing line in the eighth round, the credit for the victory went on his books. Burwell, Holshouser and Daney were other hurlers used, the last named toiling in the ninth. Corriden employed eighteen men during the struggle, and Mike Kelley’s Millers used twelve, four of the number being pitchers. It was a baseball melee of the old-fashioned type. Leading the Indian assault was Emmett McCann with a double and two triples. He launched the eighth-inning runstorm with a three-ply wallop and came up again in the same round and crashed out

another three-bagger. Emmett also turned in a swell fielding game. The Indians were -trailing 9 to 3 before the Miller balloon soared, no Trib®. runs scoring since the first inning. Rube Benton was knocked out in the opening frame and Paul McCullough relieved him and was breezing along in marvelous fashion before McCann started the Corridenites on their way. McCullough was sent to the showers and Morgan went to the box and also took the count, Dutch Henry finishing. Henry, the former Indian, was greeted with a flock of base hits as the home hirelings kept planting the ball in the safe spots. Morgan was charged with the defeat. fourteen hits were collected by the Indians, eight of the total being registered in the eighth and four in the first, which means that McCullough held ’em to two blows in the six stanzas, preceding the rally. For tha Tribesmen, Burwell and Holshouser failed to produce and it was the young flingers, Hildebrand and Daney, who succeeded in putting on the brakes. Burwell was blasted for a homer with two on by George Kelly in the first inning and McCullough poled a circuit wallop of Hilshouser with one mate on the paths in the sixth. The Millers collected four extra base hits and the Indians eight. Eddie Montague’s contribution consisted of two doubles, his long hit in the eighth barely missing clearing the low fence in left for a home run. Bernie Neis turned in a perfect day at bat for Minneapolis with a walk and four singles, batting in two runs. George Kelly was high over all in the “runs responsible for” check-up, four going to his credit.
