BLUES TAKE LEAD AS RAIN HALTS TRIBE AND MILLERS

Rainy Weather Holds Up Twin City Action Hoosiers’ Series With Saints Will Continue Through Sunday Before Men of McCann Invade Minneapolis; Double-Header Carded for Sabbath. By 7 't*r Special ST. PAUL, May 6.—Rained out here Thursday, Indians and Saints hoped to get their series under way today at Lexington park and Manager McCann of the visitors indicated he planned to use Leslie Barnhart on the Tribe firing line. Barney continues to be more or leas of a puzzle on account of wildness and the club bosses desire to obtain a final slant on his ability to locate the plate. He has great speed and •'stuff,” but the early season has found him short of control. The three-way tie for the American Association lead was split Thursday when Kansas City downed Toledo, 9 to 5. and regained undisputed possession of first place, leaving Indianapolis and Minneapolis deadlocked for runner-up honors, the Millers also being held idle by showers Thursday. Minneapolis has played three more games than Indianapolis and Kansas City has managed to get in one more than the Hoosiers. The Tribe-Apostle tilt postponed Thursday will be played off in a double-header Sunday.

Frank O’Rourke's Milwaukee Brewers are speeding along and their fourth straight triumph was chalked up Thursday at the expense of Columbus. The Home Brews are well established in fourth position and their prospects are rosy, the club being hard to upset on its home ground. Some Need New Blood Columbus, Louisville, Toledo and St. Paul occupy the league's second division berths in the order named and apparently need a lot of new blood to become flag contenders. The collapse of the champion Saints, the failure of Columbus to live up to advance notices and ‘he brilliant showing of Ownie Bush's Minneapolis Millers form the surprises of the early race in the Tom Hickey circuit. Prexy Hickey was a visitor in St. Paul Thursday and the rainy day caused him to let out. a blast against launching the season in mid-April. He has become an advocate of a later opening date, but it’s hardly likely the majority of his club owners will agree with him. Experience has taught the magnates it's useless to try to outguess the weather. That Plane Suggestion It will be recalled that Prexy Hickey last winter suggested to his club owners that airplanes Instead of trains be used fcr player travel this year, but when the subject was brought up in meeting the magnates laughed it off. Hickey overlooked the fact that not all club officials and players care to mingle with the clouds. Emmet McCann’s Indians will conclude their St. Paul series on Sunday and then move to Minneapolis for four games. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, The Tribe will be idle Friday, May 13. and Saturday, May 14. and will spend the two days in Indianapolis and then go to Louisville for a dou-ble-header Sunday, May 15. The tilt of May 14 has been postponed to provide the May 15 twin bill. Friday. May 13, is a regular off-day for the Hoosiers. Sammy Hale, veteran third sacker, who received a bruised leg in the last game at Kansas City Wednesday, is trying to massage the underpin back in shape to enable him to start in the lineup this afternoon. The injury bothered him Thursday. Fred Bedore, utility infielder, will be stationed at third if Sammy asks for more rest. The Indians have split even since leaving home, playing six games in enemy territory. The team’s record of twelve victories and six defeats on the season represents an average of two-out-of-three for the eighteen games. HELDT GETS MEDAL By Timru Special LAFAYETTE. Ind. May s.—For showing the greatest improvement, of any yearling football candidate during the spring practice session at Purdue university. Carl D. Heldt of Evansville, a husky tackle, has been selected to receive the Purdue freshman football merit trophy, awarded annually by the General Purduq Alumni Association. Right on the heels of Heldt in the race for the trophy was Charles M. Meade of Camden, a half back, who was named the alternate for the award.

Tick On in Fast Drill By United Pre LOUISVILLE. May 6. Nearly all of the Kentucky Derby candidates engaged in their final "blowouts'’ this morning. Tick On made the fastest move of the morning by traveling three furlongs in :34 2-5. Trainer Max Hirsch said he clocked Tick On's workout in :33 3-5, which is close to world record time. Tick On's obvious good condition and anxiety to run probably will keep him the favorite in Saturday s renewal of the classic here. Earl Sande, veteran Jockey who had ridden three Derby winners, was up on Overtime. He said he weighed 115 pounds, felt fine and believed he had a good mount for a record by being the first Jockey to ride four Derby winners. Gallant Sir. the big Sir Gallahad 111 colt which has been sulking since he was shipped here from the Pacific coast, showed he could run this morning without sulking. Many believe he will be the dark horse. Brother Joe and Burgoo King. Colonel Bradley's entry which is likely to go to the post third choice behind Tick On. was Mrs. Whitney's entry’, finished work in good shape. Brother Joe. whose condition was doubtful, pulled up sound after working five-eights of a mile.
