By Eddie AsE Tris Speaker Has His Blues Hustling • mm A. A. Horsehide Reported Cut in Bounce

famous Tris Speaker, manager of the Kansas City Glues, has returned to baseball after an absence of a few years and is glad to be back on the diamond. The game is his life, he says, and he never felt like he was clicking properly when he was away from it. Tris is the proud owner of world series laurels, having led the Cleveland Americans to the title over Brooklyn in 1920.

That Triple Play IT was in that 1920 series that Bill Wamby. Cleveland second sacker, executed an unassisted triple play, a rare thing in baseball. The drive that started the three-ply killing was socked by Otto <Dutch) Miller. Brooklyn catcher, who learned his baseball on Indianapolis sandlots. Elmer Smith, outfielder with Cleveland in 1920. also broke into the hall of fame in the 1920 series when he poled a home run with the bases populated. Speaker has his rejuvenated Blues up and coming and they are in undisputed posession of first place. The league experts as a whole picked the Kaws to mingle in the second division, but Tris says he thinks he will do better than the advance predictions. a a a Biues Travel by Bus 'T'HE Blues are trying something new for the American Association in the business of carting the players around the eastern half of the circuit. They are traveling by bus. Heretofore class AA athletes were accustomed to riding and dining on comfortable Pullmans, but Old Man Depression hit hard in Kansas City and it was necessary to cut and slash expenses all along the line. Tris Speaker is part owner of the new baseball set-up in Kuwtown and is helped financially by Joe E. Brown, movie comedian. Lee Keyser of Des Moines is president and largest stockholder. Raw 7 Meat Bill Rodgers is business manager. He is a former second saeker. He gets the name of Raw Meat because he actually eats big steaks uncooked. Another of his stunts is to eat raw eggs, shell j and all. Speaker also has with him the eccentric southpaw pitcher, Walter; Mails, who is given to the making j of speeches on the mound. Once, | in Chattanooga last year, on his day ; to pitch. Mails rode a horse to the j box, dismounted and went to work, i B tt a WHEN the weather warms up. the Perry stadium fans doubtless will be permitted to qtiafT 3.2 beer. The law' covering the sale of the beverage has been picked apart, up and down and sideways and there is reason to believe beer soon will be made available at one of the stadium concession stands. Beer is being sold at the parks in Louisville and Toledo and Milwaukee and Kansas City will put it on sale when they reach home. ;

Captain lied at 200 to I Is Dark Horse Threat in Derby

This is the final artirlp of a scrips clisrnssing (he possibilities of Kentucky Derby candidates. BY THOMAS N. NOONE I’nilfd Press llarins: Editor NEW YORK. April 17—Why Tom Shaw has dropped the odds on H. C. Phipps’ Enthusiast from 1,000 to 100 to 1 in the future speculation on the Kentucky Derby, will remain a mystery until trainer Jimmy Fitzsimmons reveals the ‘“cause of it all" by starting the Diophon colt for the first time during the Havre De Grace meeting. Enthusiast, it is said, has done a little secret training out at Aqueduct that has brought considerable “right money” into the Shaw offices and caused the drastic cut in the colt's odds today. In searching for a long shot on the big event, it might be well to consider the record of J. C. Milam's Tech Awarded Track Sectional Indiana high school athletes will open competition for state track laurels at fifteen sectional centers on Saturday. May 13, it was announced today by A. L. Trester, commissioner of the I. H. S. A. A.

Seven track events, four field events and two relays will be staged. The sectional centers announced today are Boswell. Elkhart. Evansville, Garrett. Gary, Tech of Indianapolis. Kokomo. Marion.

Bali Seems Changed CLUB owners of the A. A. are not ready to admit they have amputated some of the ‘ rabbit” out • of the horsehide this year, but it's ' a good guess something like that has happened, It looks that way, at any rate. It is said seven of the eight magnates voted to “de-rab-bit” the ball as a slap at Minneapolis, where pop fiy balls go over the short fence in the band box park. To Ernie Wingard goes the honor of smacking the first homer of the new season at Perry stadium. It was a mighty wallop and cleared the high right field wall with room to spare. He has been established as the Tribe’s regular first saeker, his understudy, Ed Lowell, having been “shipped” Sunday. Ed was sent to the Ft. Worth club of the Texas League. tt a a Bedore Makes Hood PROMOTED from utility infielder to regular third saeker, Fred • Eagle) Bedore, is holding up his end of the game for the Indians. The Chicago product has tackled some hot ones around the far corner and at the pace he is going, Manager Killefer won't have to look around for another infielder. Fred also has been hitting well and is second to Frank Sigafoos in \ the averages. Frank has blasted ten hits and Bedore has touched the twirlers for eight. Wingard. Angley, Rosenberg and White are getting off to slow starts at the plat? ' The first three named all batted above the .300 mark last year.

Thereupon Pid demanded a bonus for signing with the Apostles and President Bob Connery declined to take him on. Now Purdy is with the army of unemployed.

Captain Red. With six starts and four victories to his credit, the gelded son of Captain Alcock-Wilton Flanna made only one trip to the races last year. He tin-canned five furlongs in 1:00 3-5 on that occasion to win easily over a fast track at Dade Park. He then went into hiding until early in March of this year when he went to the post at Tropical park and was beaten off in two overnight claiming events. His next start was in an allowance affait at seven furlongs and he breezed out in front all the way to win in a romp by five full lengths. Returned to Kentucky, the gelding gave every indication of being a mudder by winning handily in two sprint races at Lexington. Last Monday he beat a well-balanced field of his peers and Thursday he returned triumphant over older horses. The Milam candidate, if he trains satisfactorily, may prove to be the “dark horse" among the bluebloods in America's classic on May 6. With little activity on Captain Red in the winter books. Tom Shaw was willing to lay 200 to 1 against his chances today.

Tribesmen Fall Twice .Blues Annex Sunday Twin Bill: Wood Scores Shutout, 3-0. BY EDDIE ASH If a bad start means a good finish. the Irfdians of Red Killefer are sure to wind up going places. They played a double-header Sunday with the Kansas City Blues and dropped ’em both, 3to 0 and 3 to 2. The home nine was held to three hits by Lefty Charlie Wood in the first tilt, and in the nightcap the Tribesmen collected more blows than the Kaws, but failed to bunch them to any exj tent against Niggeling, a right- ; hander. Bill Thomas hurled the opening battle for the locals and blanked j the visitors until the eighth frame, when Tris Speaker's pastimers got j to him for two singles and a triple. An error was mixed in with the clustered hits and three K. C. runners crossed the plate. Wingard Hits Homer In the second struggle Lefty Bob Logan faced the Blues and hurled well for four innings, giving way to 1 Smith in the sixth. Stuart Bolen finished both games on the mound for the Indians. A wallop over the I right field wall by Ernie Wingard in the second conflict was about the only home thrill supplied a few more than 1.000 chilled fans. The afternoon action was started during a shower and then was held up for thirty minutes by a heavy rain. The field was soft and sticky and the teams were lucky to get in the two games. "Ladies’ Day" Today Blues and Indians were to meet in the third of the series this afternoon, and it was “ladies’ day.” The fourth and final fracas will be played Tuesday. Owner Norman Perry scheduled a “ladies’ day” on Friday and again on Saturday, but both were washed out. There was some swift fielding executed during the Sabbath twin bill despite the heavy going and only one error was charged, on White of the Indians in the first encounter. Southpaw Wood, who gave the locals a row of nine gfbose eggs, is recently of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He worked in a confident manner and was backed up by red-hot support. In the season’s opening game Bill Thomas blanked Milwaukee in the iast eleven innings of the fourteeninning tie and on Sunday he blanked the Blues the first seven innings, giving him credit for eighteen scoreless stanzas. How Runs Scored After one down in the eighth of the first tilt, Cronin singled to right and Ward flied to Callaghan. Grigsby singled to left, advancing Cronin to second. Schino tripled to the right field corner, scoring Cronin and Grigsby, and Schino also scored when White fumbled Kelley's grounder. In the second game Wingard, first up for Indianapolis in the fourth, poled a homer and in the sixth Wingard singled after one down, went to third and Hufft’s single and scored on Angley’s single. For the Blues in the second game, Brenzel singled to short right to open the fifth and Niggeling sacrificed. Cronin flied out and Ward’s single scored Brenzel. In the sixth Kelly doubled, Monahan sacrificed and Kelly tallied on Treadaway's single. Brenzei’s single put Treadaway on third and Treadaway scored on an infield out by Niggeling, White juggiing the ball.

gym, according to a wire to the promoter, and was to arrive here today. Henry Hook and Paul Lee, local bantams, who are to meet opponents in ten-rounders Tuesday night, also worked out Sunday. A change was made over the week-end in the opponent to meet Young Lee. Lee was to have met Bobby O'Dowd of Davenport, la., in a tenround match. Keise McClure, manager of Jackie Purvis and also manager of Lee, took Purvis to Chicago last Friday night for a fight, and in one cf the other bouts on the Windy City card O’Dowd unmercifully trounced an opponent, exhibiting a lot of experience and fistic skill. McClure promptly notified the local promoter that the Lee-O'Dowd match was off. “Lee is just a youngster, with but a few fights to his credit, and I consider him too fine a prospect to overmatch right now,” McClure said. O'Dowd will remain on the Tuesday night card, but he will meet Henry Hook. JARRELL MEETS MITCHELL Bp I nited Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 17. Pee Wee Jarrell. Ft.

Ladysmaii Still Best Vet Bookie Predicts Record Field in Derby on May 6. Bu 1 tiiicd PreHR NEW YORK, April 17.—A record field will go to the post for the fifty-ninth running of the $50,000 added Kentucky Derby on May 6. in the opinion of Thomas Shaw, veteran bettim commissioner. “You can write your own ticket on most of those platers that were beaten in Maryland and Kentucxy todaj, Shaw told friends shortly after Ladysman returned triumphant in his 1933 d-but at Havre De Grace Saturday. "Ladysman is best of a bad lot, he added, “but with the bulk of wagers placed on the Coe colt, no more than 5 to 1 is warranted against his chances at this time if my book is to be balanced.” Record Field Predicted While Shaw believes Ladysman a standout over the various candidates being pointed for the mile and a quarter test of the Derby, he stilt thinks there will be more than twenty-two starters—a record field. Because of the mediocrity of 'he 118 eligibles, owners will be eager to start their entrants, feeling the race an open contest. There are no Gallant Fox's or Twenty Grand's in this year’s list. The white and green silks of Colonel E. R. Bradley, ow ner of Burgoo King, last year's winner, will oe carried by Boilermaker and Broker’s Tip. They are quoted at 25 and 50 to 1, respectively, by the Long Island commissioner. The Quincy stable's Repaid, which worked out sensationally before leaving Aqueduct for Havre De Grace early last week, is second choice at 10 to 1 in Shaw’s revised line, while Charley O, Florida derby winner, and C. V. Whitney's The Darb are quoted at 15 to 1 each. Kerry Patch 111 The Glen Riddle farm’s War Glory, which finished fourth behind Ladysman Saturday, is quoted at 60 to 1; Dark Conquest, fifth to finish in the same race. 100 to 1, and Projectile, finishing behind the latter two, 40 to 1, Kerry Patch, conqueror of Ladysman in the Belmont futurity last year, still is regarded as a 20 to l choice, despite his recent illness. There is “just a little speculation ’ on Adolphe Pons’ Swivel, queen of the fillies last season, in the futures betting, according to Shaw, and she is “no better, nor worse, than a 30 to 1 chance.” The Greentrep stable’s Dynastic piactically is eliminated if reports of the colt's illness are true.

O Grady and Hueber drew three successive splits. The Automotive League will close their season on the Illinois alleys Thursday night and then celebrate with a seasonend banquet on Saturday night These boys always manage to enjoy their banquet each year and with the three-point-two added, it is easy to predict a 100 per cent attendance.
