Hildebrand, Parmelee Hurl One-Hit Games Major League Hurlers Take Command, Shove Sluggers Into Background: Many Brilliant Slab Performances Registered in Early Tilts. BY JACK CUDDY United Prtsu Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 27.—Sweeping away baseball's dynasty of sluggers with a wave of dazzling pitching, the strong-armed hurlers of both major leagues have taken command on the diamond and now threaten to shift the national shrine from home plate to the mound. After years of heavy hitting, this revolt of the flingers seems to have struck off the shackles clamped on them a decade ago when the magnates livened the ball and forbade trick deliveries. No one knows whether this air-tight pitching, which featured the first fifteen days of play, can continue throughout the season, but it's aa old American custom for the sluggers to grab lighter bats when the d*ys grow warmer because that's when pitchers are most formidable. Apparently gathering power, the elbowers Wednesday turned in two one-nit, one four-hit and two five-hit performances. These feats gave the first half month of competition the amazing total of three onehit, four two-hit, eight three-hit, eleven four-hit and seventeen five-hit exhibitions. The records do not disclose anything approaching that for the last decade.

Oral Hildebrand of Cleveland, former Indianapolis collegian, missed a no-hit game Wednesday by the narrow margin of a single as he blanked the St. Louis Browns, 2 to 0. It was his third consecutive victory. Third baseman Scharein banged out the safety in the third inning. Lloyd Brown also was impressive on the mound, limiting the Indians to five hits. The other one-hit performance was turned in by Leroy Parm?lee, who pitched the New York Giants to a 3-to-l victory over the hardhitting Phillies in his first major start of the season. Mickey Finn doubled in the third inning and scored on Parmelee’s wild pitch. New York made two runs in the seventh on an error by Dick Bartell, and chalked up another tally in the eighth. Jim Elliott allowed six hits. Owen Carroll, acquired from the Cardinals in February, yielded only four hits as Brooklyn trounced Boston, 5 to 1, rising to a tie for third place in the National League standings. Wally Berger and Del Bissonette contributed home runs for Boston and Brooklyn, respectively. The Braves dropped to a last-place tie with the Cubs. Cincinnati climbed to a thirdplace deadlock with Brooklyn by a 2-to-l victory over St. Louis, after Johnny Moore singled in the ninth with the bases loaded for the winning run. Leo Durocher aided with a perfect day at bat. Si Johnson held the Cards to five hits, while Paul Derringer allowed ten. Detroit replaced Washington at fourth position in the American League by nosing out Chicago. 6 to 4, in eleven innings. The Tigers combined three singles and a long fly for tw'o runs in the eleventh. Thirty-two players, including seven pitchers, saw action. 2 CHICAGO AMATEUR BOXERS TAKE TITLES fill I'nitn] firess BOSTON, April 27.—Chicago is the only city with two national amateur boxing champions.

WHEN Highland Country club announced in its season program, published in this column ; Tuesday, that it would take part in j the nation-wide tournament to be staged this summer by the Handicap Golfers’ Association of America, it stirred up seme interest on the part of members of other clubs in the city and some questions were directed to this column. Our information is that plans of thus organization are for some duffer ! who shoots 100 to become a national j golf champion, so long as he belongs to a recognized club where handicaps are figured on the basis of his performances on the links and not by guess. a a tt With the hacking of Herbert Jaques, president of the United States Golf Assoj eiation, the group is certain to have the i nation-wide support of the tournament | machinery of that organization and an entry of more than 100,006 is anticipated. The president of the outfit is Max Marston, former national amateur champion, and seseral vice-presidents carry titles of presidents of various sectional golf organizations over the country. tt tt tt It is their plan to conduct play in different sections of the country during various periods of time during the summer and during the time allotted to the Indiana district, which is June 1 to July 15, any player can mail his attested card showing his gross score, handicap and net count to the national headquarters. tt tt tt | From these cards, club, city, state and | national winners will be sifted. Os course, i there will be ties and it is anticipated that many, in fact probably more than 100, will tic for the winner position. These will be gathered in some central spot and the fight for the title, handicap champion of the nation, made. tt tt tt The day when the better players at each club stole all the glory is about to end. Play already is under way in the south, where players in Alabama. Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi. North and South Carolinas started March 15 and have until May 1 to play their round.

Buddy Myer

ONE of the biggest battles of organized baseball broke out in Washington Tuesday, after Ben Chapman of the Yankees spiked Buddy Myer, Senators’ secondsacker. Chapman and Myer traded wallops and a couple of free-for-alls followed. Myer and Earl Whitehill of the Senators and Chapman have been suspended indefinitely by league prexy Harridge. Five Washington fans were arrested during the melee. , BUTLER NETTERS WIN Hit Vtiitrd firms TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 27.

sey, New York, North Dakota. Ohio, Oregon. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island. South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin. Wyoming. July 16 to Sept. I—Playoffs of ties. This procedure is to be announced. tt a tt MARION SMITH, president of the Indiana Professional Golfers Association, came over from Crawfordsville Wednesday night, hoping to catch the organization secretary, Chuck Garringer, at home so they could arrange a special meeting of directors and officers. Smith, having been elevated from vice-presidency to the prexy position when Elmer Schacht left Terre Haute, has not been in very close touch with the inner workings of the organization. He is anxious now to become more active in the business of selecting the dates and site of the 1933 Indiana open championship. tt tt tt Since the boys began talking about opening up the championship event this year, departing from the practice of the past two years when only pros who were members of the P. G. A. could compete, a mail vote was taken among the directors to learn if the event shouid be made wide open to any competitor in the world or if it should be confined to pros and amateurs within the state of Indiana who are in good standing. The mail vote was heavy in favor of confining it to Hoosierdom. Any talk to the contrary is just all wet, we are told by Garringer. This being settled, some of the other minor details such as agreeing on Speedway for the site will be settled Monday night at the home of Garringer, 1323 West Thirtieth street.

Repaid, Kerry Patch, Uptopian, Crowning Glory, Sun Apollo, Dark. Law, The Darb and Caesar :s Ghost, all Derby candidates met defeat at Havre Wednesday. Sarada was the lone winner of the Derby hopefuls. tt n * The Maryland racing commission which insists that racing be run in that state according to the rules and regulations, no doubt is investigating the victory of Levaal in Wednesday’s second. Apparently this horse was run cold his first two starts and he tore down Wednesday to win from Crapshooter and Cattail and ! paid 530.20 for a $2 mutuel ticket. They pulled the same thing with McGonigle i last week when he won by ten lengths. The commission suspended him for the balance of the Mariand meetings. O. K.

1. Yes. There is one great fact of life which, if one does not see, once for all, and accept, he can never be happy or effective, namely, that there are two distinct kinds of things in this human world; first, things that can be changed, and, second, things that can not be changed. Dr. David Mitchell states that crying over loves that are hopeless, ambitions that can never be realized, money that is lost and milk that has been spilt, causes half the nervous wrecks, and wastes enough energy to do the work of the world easily and happily. 2. No. The general browser knows less than the specialist, even of general surface knowledge, for two reasons. First, unless you constantly use anew fact, it soon slips out of mind.

Men and Women Stars Are Featured in New Movies Mary Pickford, Maurice Chevalier, Jean Hersholt, Katherine Hepburn Top Casts of Friday’s New Photoplays. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SOME of the biggest names in the movie business have the leads as well as the chief supporting roles in the new movies opening here Friday. You will agree with me when you know that Mary Pickford stages a tremendously fine comeback in “Secrets” due at the Palace Friday. Maurice Chevalier has a modern role of a man about town in Paris who goes “domestic” in “A Bedtime Story.” Jean Hersholt, Stuart Erwin, Wynne Gibson and Frances Dee have the leads in solving the mystery in “The Crime of The Century” which opens Friday at the Indiana.

In “Christopher Strong,” Katherine Hepburn, remembered for her work in “A Bill of Divorcement,” is the star but she has such fine support as Colin Clive, Billie Burke and Ralph Forbes. It opens Friday at the Apollo. tt tt tt MYSTERY MOVIE DUE AT THE INDIANA Jean Hersholt, Stuart Erwin, Wynne Gibson and Frances Dee head the cast of “The Crime of the Century,” a mystery drama of anew style, which comes to the Indiana Friday for a week’s engagement. “The Crime of the Century” offers two innovations in presentation of a mystery story. First, the crime is confessed to police before it is committed, and yet is carried through while they watch. Second, halfway through, there is a 60-second intermission during which the various clues to the solution are reviewed briefly, and the audience is invited to solve it. The picture centers around Hersholt, an alienist, who walks into a police station, tells the assembled officers that he has planned a murder, describes how’ it will be carried through, and begs to be locked up so that he will be unable to commit it. Impressed by his manner as well

Where the old, flaming passion has died down and the pair has come into a quiet, deep understanding of each other and the old, wild rushing torrent has flowed out into wider, stiller waters, such Platonic relationships often become the finest friendships in the world, and the safest. It is, however, only steady, high-minded people who can safely carry on real Platonic loves at all.

as his reputation, officers accompany him to his home. And there, while they look on, powerless to prevent it, not only the murder he has planned, but a second one, takes place. Erwin, as a police reporter, and Miss Dee, as the daughter of the alienist, combine to solve both crimes from a few unimportantlooking clues available. Miss Gibson is cast as one of the victims. Other featured players in the cast are David Landau and Gordon Westcott. B. P. Schulberg produced the film for Paramount. Ed Resener and the Indiana Concert orchestra will offer another musical presentation as a supplementary attraction. tt tt n Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Parole Girl,” at the Circle, “King Kong,” at the Apollo, “Girl Missing,” at the Indiana, “Today We Live,” at the Palace, “Hello, Sister,” at the Ohio, Louie Lowe at the Terminal, burlesque at the Colonial, “The Animal Kingdom,” and “Her Mad Night,” at the Mecca, “Sailor Be Good,” at the Belmont, “Topaze,” at the Daisy, and, “Hello Every- - body,” at the Talbott.
