The Senators walloped the home team. 16 to 5, Sunday, with Fischer and Ragland pitching effectively.

Hale's work was a surprise. Owing ; to the fact he missed out on early spring training, the veteran was not , booked to see action Sunday, but he put in a request to Manager McCann to permit him to play and pro- , ceeded to deliver above expectations. He showed fine speed, handled his position in style and at the plate registered a single and perfect sacrifice. Two of his assists were on red-hot smashes. Experiment in Outfield Manager McCann also changed his outfield to give Pid Purdy a chance to develop and to protect the difficult sun field in right in the event something happened to Curt Walker. Purdy was used in left, Rosenberg was shifted to center and Fitzgerald held down the right garden. Walker was given a rest. The new outfield lineup went hitless, but the speed was there and the defense superb. Purdy met with a spring training vacation owing to making a change in clubs and he is not quite ready at the plate. Wild Tilt Saturday Toronto annexed a wild hitting contest Saturday, 14 to 9, the Indians using four hurlers, Logan, Thomas, Horne and Hall. Horne was in action for a moment only, being removed for a pinch hitter, but the three rookies were off their stride. Logan was wild and Thomas and Hall took a lacing. The big feature Saturday was a circuit drive by Tom Angley over the high right field wall with two mates aboard in the third. It was the first time the right field barrier had been cleared in a regular game. Rally in Seventh The Sabbath contest went to the seventh before the scoring ice was | cracked. Rosenberg, first up, ' reached second when McHenry dropped his tall fly and scored on a triple to right by Sigafoos. The I sun blinded the speedy Hughes when he had a chance to knock the sphere down for a single or double. Manager McCann followed with a double to left center, scoring Sigafoos and the Tribe chief was erased at third trying for a triple. Campbell struck out six Leafs, walked three and hit one batsman. He seemed to be on the verge in the 'eighth, passing two after two down, but Hale pulled him out with a snappy play at third. Toronto went from the second to the seventh without a hit and the visitors failed to reach third during the entire nine rounds. Abborback and Liebhardt, both right-handers, divided the pitching for Tom Daly’s Internationals.

Tty \EA Service NEW ORLEANS, April 4.— Financial booms and panics have failed to move Joseph Leitcr. He has lost $20,000,000 without batting an eye, and has made as much over again, without excitement. He has gone around Mie world twice in his own yachts, has hunted big game in the African jungle, has seen his own millions melt in the market like snow on a hot stove. But Joseph Leiter has kept one thrill through all his dramatic and adventurous iife—his own horses in the home stretch. Master of millions for forty-three years—or ever since his twenty-first birthday— Joe Leiter stiil must rise to his feet and root when his thoroughbreds come thundermg down to the wire. a a a a a a WHENEVER the yelloc and green silks of the 64-year-old Chicago sportsman went to the post at the winter tracks here, many veteran racegoers preferred watching Leiter to seeing the race. He is a picturesque figure, especially as to hats, huge light or dark felt headgear. always with undented crown. His excitement, wheu one of his own horses comes bounding in a winner at 20 to 1, is contagious. Leiter could not get more of a thrill out of the race by riding the horse himself. Back in 1897, Leiter almost cornered the wheat market in Chicago.

Making and Losing Millions No Thrill, but at the Track —

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Abborback, Toronto starting hurler, is a stalwart moundsman with a lot of power. He held the home nine to two hits in five innings. One error was charged against the Leafs and the Indians escaped the miscue column, giving Campbell airtight support. ana Carmen Hill, the former Indianapolis veteran, will be back in the American Association this year with Columbus. The Red Birds obtained him from Rochester in a trade. Hill helped Rochester capture the International pennant in 1931, winning eighteen games and losing twelve. He resides in Indianapolis. ana Lester Bell, veteran third sacker with the Chicago Cubs, has been sold to the Louisville Colonels. The Bruins obtained Bell from the Braves in 1930. He was with the world champion Cardinals of 1926. With the sale of Bell it is evident Manager Hornsby thinks well of young Stanley Hack, the rookie. Lester batted .281 last season. 8 Home Runs Feature Tilt fin United Press N ASHVILLE. Tenn., April 4.-The world champion Cardinals met the Nashville club of the Southern Association again here today.

Fresh from Harvard—his father had presented him with a check for $1,000,000 upon graduation—Leiter moved into the wheat pit, where his sagacity led his father to back him with more than $30,000,000 of the Leiter properties. But the corner collapsed just when it seemed that young Leiter had won his goal. P. D. Armour, with a string of elevators along the Chicago river, and caught short in the Leiter operations, broke the lock of Lake Michigan ice with a, fleet of tugs and moved 18,000,000 bushels of wheat from Duluth to Chicago. The wheat broke the price of wheat $1 a bushel, and Leiter paid off to the tune of $20,000,000. a a a a a a THEN young Leiter recouped. He bought into gas and coal companies, railways, street car lines, milk and meat corporations and ether ventures. Since then he has made and lost many millions. He has been sued for millions more. In his years of roaming the world as a big game hunter and fisherman, he has had enough adventures to fill a book. The thrills of financial struggles with twentieth century Titans have left him impassive. But now, at 64. when one of his horses comes pounding down the stretch, neck and neck with another blooded thoroughbred, Joseph Leiter can’t sit still. He leaps to his feet and “calls that baby home!’'
