BUTLER HOST TO LITTLE STATE CINDER TITLE CARNIVAL

Rajah Pins Hopes on Strong Mound Staff Great Record Compiled by Six Bruin Flingers: Chicago Infield Also Shows Fine Form; Art Shires Recovers and May See Achon. BY GEORGE KIRKSF.Y t ni*"l Ptm Staff CnirMoon'lfnl CHICAGO May 12.—Three names out In front, and ™lth a winning wreak r.f four straight Intact, the Chicago Cubs opened a three-game **r:e< with their nearest rivals, the Boston Braves, at Wrigley field today. The Braves were lraoin? s he National League until they headed west

and dropped four in a row' to Cincinnati, and hope to make up son® lest ground by taking the series from the league leaders Art Shirrs, who was batting at a .345 clip and injecting a winning spirit into the Braves when he was injured, is rapidly recovering, and Manager Bill McKechme hopes he will be able to return to the lineup during the Cubs' series. Although the Cubs have traveled at a dizzy clip tince the opening of the season, winning seventeen out of twenty-three games, many experts expect them to take a tumble soon because of their lack of power. In tne latest averages they were last in team batting, with a mark of .241. Manager Rogers Hornsby, however, continues to ring along with his theory that pitching is 80 per cent of a winning team. Ho/nsby believes the Cubs have not only the best

Pitching staff In the league but the best infield. With the recovery of Wooriv Englirh. who had a fractured finger, the Cubs' infield is now comoo eo of tne veteran Charles Grin m at first, the youngsters Billy Herman tnd Bil Jurges at second and .‘hortstop. respectively, and English at

third instead of his former position ’ snort Stanley Hack, rookie third seeker, has been oenched for not hitting ' Jurges' gre.it fielding and timely hitU.lg have won him the shortstop lob and I h„ve moved English to 'Third said Hornsby. "I regard •hirg ** *.t the best fielding r hortstop in the league, bar none. If he hits any a? all. t ,nd it looks like he will, he stays at short.” The Cubs’ out field, which was a problem when the season opened, has solved itself temporarily despite *hc s Je of Danny Taylor to Brooklyn the injury of Kiki Cuvier and the irlease of Vincent Barton to the minors. The Cubs now have only one reserve outfielder. Marvin Oudat, a rookie. The regular outfield is romposed of Stephenson in left. Johnny Moore in center, and Richbourg in right, a combination that wasn't regarded as good enough for a second division team, when the season opened. Record of the Cubs' pitchers to date follows: w. i.. a Warneke ft Malone i •• .. l A r.n.h Rni a i smith * t The Cubs' pitchers have allowed only seventy-three runs, or an average of 3.17 runs per game, and the starting pitcher has finished twenty out of *he twenty-three games played In one of these the starting pitcher had to retire as ♦he result o;' being hit by a batted ball.

Sam Gray, w’ho has turned in two whitewashings for the Browns, was

the losing flipper. He worked seven rounds and was relieved by Kimsey in the eighth. A triple by Allen in the fifth inning, coupled with an error by Melillo, gave the Yankees their first run. The others cl me in the eighth, when Dickey doubled with

Cincinnati advanced to third place in the National League by downing the Phillies, 4 to 1. drooping the Shotton club to fourth place. Red Lucas turned in another masterful mo md performance, allowing the Phils only five scattered hits, while Collins and Grabowski were touched for ten. It was Lucas' fifth win in six efforts. A three-run rally in the twelfth inning gave the Brooklyn Dodgers a 6 to 3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the final game of their series. Jim Collins hit his eighth home run of the season for the Cards in the fourth with one on, and Adams singled in the fifth to score Jim Wilson, to give St. Louis three runs.

Hoosier Track Marks Threatened in Meet Feature Battles Expected in Sprint Events Between Burns of Butler and Graham of Ball State; 108 Athletes in ‘Little State.’ Olympic team hopes from the various state colleges are expected to enter in a wholesale shattering of conference records Saturday in the • little state” track and field meet at the Butler oval. Existing records in the dashes, pole vault, high jump, hurdles and relays appear to have little chance of withstanding the assault of the 108 athletes who have been certified. The keenest competition is predicted for the dashes, where Bums of Butler and Graham of Ball State are expected to feature. Burns at i present holds the conference record for the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, which he established last year by nosing out Graham in both events. | Willie Fowlkes, former Muncie high school sprintman, will be a strong contender.

Kilgore of De Pauw is expected to better the pole vault mark and Bert Nelson. Butler's high jump star, should hang up anew height in that event. Nelson lost to Jones of Ball State last year when the bar was lifted to 6 feet 3’-.- mches, but should set anew mark Saturday. The javelin distance of 171 feet is endangered by Kenny Booz. Butler's football captain and baseball catcher, who fell only ten feet short of the record in his first attempt at the event two weeks ago. A galaxy of sprintment are expected to combine to make the mile and half-mile relays closely-con-tested events. Fourteen events, including the relays, are billed on the afternoon's program. A special attraction has been added in a twomile non-conference event. Berwyn Jones, former Butler distance runner and a post-graduate, will compete with Coach Phillips' outstanding group of freshmen runners. Seven members of the Indiana State College Conference have forwarded entry lists. Cinder stars representing De Pauw. Danville. Ball State. N. A. G. U.. Earlham. Indiana State Normal, and Butler will combine in the track carnival which starts at 1:30. Other entries are expected. The little state meet includes all Hoosier colleges except Notre Dame. Purdue and Indiana.

Browns; Cards Bow score with a double in the sixth with the bases loaded, accounting for three Brooklyn runs. In the twelfth Cuccinello drove in O'Doul, who had doubled; Wright singled to score Taylor, who had walked, and Cuccinello came home on a wild pitch by Wild Bill Hallahan. Hallahan demonstrated why he is called "Wild Bill" in the twelfth inning. He tied the major league record of three wild pitches in one inning. Going into the twelfth. Hallahan had allowed but eight hits and fanned twelve Dodgers. Boston at Pittsburgh and New York at Chicago were washed out.
