By Edldlie Ash It’s Hard to Match Van Atta’s Debut mm m Ball Still Soars Over the Miller Fence
VAN ATTA, former Penn State college athlete and well-known in Indianapolis as the star southpaw pitcher with St. Paul last year, will have a story to relate to his grand children that will make their eyes stick out. A big league rookie this spring, Van Atta made his first start in the majors with the Yankees last Tuesday. And here’s what happened: Russ hurled a‘shutout, 16 to 0; got four hits himself and it was in that game that one of the biggest riots in baseball occurred. Tie that for a debut! O U M MUM
And Here’s Another ED BARROW, business manager of the New York Yankees, is supposed to know al lthe answers when dealing with ball players over salary or bonus demands, but pitcher Milt Gaston, nov with the White Sox. can tell one that will make Ed blush. In the winter of 1922 Gaston was summone dto the Yankee office after it was learned the Athletics were trying to sign him. He had gained fame with an indu.4rial team at Paterson, N. J., the year before. Gaston strolled into Barrow's den, free and easy like, and when Barrow offered him a contract, Milt replied: “Yes, if you 11 give be a bonus of $5,000 for signing.” Ed almost fell out of his chair. ‘“Take it or leave it,” Milt answered. Then Barrow said: “You have a brother catching for the Giants and another brother who is a newspaperman in New York. I see the light. No use bucking that alliance. Here's your $5,000." ana That Non-Class Rule THE player limit in the American Association goes into effect, Monday, May 1, at which time all clubs must cut to eighteen men, including two non-class pastimers, meaning players who were not subject to draft until the close of last season. Lefty Logan, pitcher, Ray White, shortstop and Pete Chapman, outfielder, recalled from Ft. Worth, are the non-class members of the Indianapolis club. The Hoosiers are one over the limit now' and it looks like one of the slabsters is due to receive the blue envelope not later than Monday. ss tt a Shires Was Earmarked PERHAPS the An erican Association will do something about the rookie rule and toss it out. With salaries down and the player limit slashed to eighteen, it's rather unwise to experiment with bushers during the early season. Here's another subject the fans are debating: “How was Columbus able to sign Art Shires and stay under the salary limit?” Tops in the A. A. is $350 a month, and Arthur declared at Boston, before
Indiana U. Thinlies Shine at Drake; Penn Records Fall
By United Press DES MOINES. la.. April 29.—Following mediocre performances in preliminaries Friday the twentyfourth annual Drake university relay carnival swept into the finals today. The 100-yard dash, featuring Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette, Olympic. star, and Wilis Ward, Michigan sophomore, shared the spotlight in the finals with the mile relay, enlisting two of the fastest quartets which ever have appeared here, in Indiana and Michigan. Michigan, Big Ten winner and record folder, was forced to share favoritism with Indiana's speedy quartet in the mile relays. The

being shipped to St. Louis, that he wouldn't play for that kind of money. “Whattaman” certainly got on his high horse when his transfer to St. Louis was announced and somebody cracked "Shires is earmarked for the minors.” MOO Over the Miller Wall THEY can take the “rabbit” out of the horsehide and use an Idaho potato for a ball, but the cannonading will be the same in the band box park at Minneapolis. The score there Friday w r as Millers, 15; Toledo, 11. The Hens banged out twenty hits and the champions seventeen. Six doubles were socked and five home runs. Joe Hauser lifted three over the short fence, bringing his 1933 total to four. Joe failed to get a circuit drive in four series until the Millers reached home, when he got four in tw r o days. No victories were scored by Toledo in the Minneapolis park last year and the Hens have lost the first two starts there on the new season. St tt St HandculYs on Cubs JF the Chicago Cubs, National League champs, don’t brace shortly the fans will be speaking of them as the “poor old Cubs.” The Bruins are tied with Boston for last place. Pitchers are putting the handcuffs on Chollie Grimm's men. In eleven games this spring not a member of the Chicago outfit has walloped anything longer than a two-base hit. No triples or homers have been recorded in the Cubs’ side of the box scores. a a a Attendance at a. a. games in Milwaukee is annoying the league. The paid gate there Friday was only 531 and attendance at the home opener Thursday fell far short of expectations. Baseball observers thought Milwaukee was due to stage a comeback this year, but the fans there evidently still are short of amusement money. MOM Art Shires was in the Columbus lineup for the first time Friday and got one hit, a single. Gorden Slade, also included in the recent Cardi-nal-Columbus deal, played short for the Bucks, poled one safety and accepted eight of nine chances.
Hoosiers covered the mile in the trials in 3:21, four-tenths of a second short of Michigan’s conference mark.

By United Press PHILADELPHIA, April 29.—With one world and nine meet records broken, and with three team and one individual champions crowned in opening competition, the Penn relay carnival swung into its banner program today with more than 2.000 athletes competing in fifty-six events. Pennsylvania’s attempt to continue its two-year reign as champion in the one-mile relay was expected to feature today’s program. The big thrill Friday came when Manhattan college whirled through the two and one-half miles of the distance medley to anew world's record of 10:14. The Manhattan runners were McGeough, Burns. Ryan and Crowley. The Mercersburg (Pa.) academy team set anew meet record of :42.5 in winning the interscholastic quar-ter-mile relay; Jack Keller of Ohio State registered anew carnival mark of :14 3 in topping the field in the 120-yard high hurdles; and Joe McCluskey of Fordham ground out a record shattering 9:28.5 in the 3.000-meter steeplechase. Philadelphia school athletes chalked up meet records in five races.

Tribe Releases Hufft and Pulls in Chapman Fuzzy Is Dropped and Pete Recalled From Ft. Worth; Indians Play Finale With Blues Today; Lose Close One Friday, 6-5. By Times Special KANSAS CITY. Mo., April 29.—With the series standing one game apiece, Indians and Blues were to meet in the finale here today and immediately after the contest the Tribesmen will entrain for Milwaukee to tackle the Brewers in four tilts with action •an the Cream City starting Sunday. Manager Red Killefer released outfielder Fuzzy Huft Friday night and a recall was put in with Ft. Worth for outfielder Pete Chapman. Hufft is slow in the pasture and also short of double A hitting ability. It is said Chapman has been going well in the Texas League. Chappie finished the 1932 season with the Indians after coming up from Terre Haute in the defunct Three-I League. He batted .313 for the Tribe in thirty-three games.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1933
Bill Burwell, having rested up since last Sunday, was slated to face the Blues on the Tribe rubber this afternoon, and it was believed Lou Fette would draw the K. C. Assignment. Smith Removed in Sixth Kansas City downed the Indians Friday, 6 to 5, after overcoming an Indianapolis lead of 3 to 0. George Smith started on the Tribe mound and was knocked out in the rixth. He was relieved by Lefty Logan, and Lefty was no improvement, and gave way to a pinch hitter in the eighth, and Turner finished the game. The defeat was charged to Logan. A triple by Treadway in the sixth with the bases loaded was the outstanding bit of bludgeon destruction. It was made off Logan after Monahan drew a walk. It was a sad sixth for the Tribe. After two down Ward singled and Mosolf walked, and Logan relieved Smith to pitch to Monahan, a left-handed swinger. A pass to Pete filled the bases and “set the table” for Treadway. When Scopes Were Made The Indians scored two markers in the first, one in the second, one in the seventh and one in the ninth. Kansas City scored one tally in the fourth, three in the sixth, one in the seventh and one in the eighth. Each club collected eleven hits. Tom Angley walloped a homer for Indianapolis in the seventh w-ith the bases unoccupied. Other extra base hits were a double by Grigsby and triples by Treadway, Mosolf, Brenzel and Wingard. Joe E. Browrn, movie comedian and stockholder in the Blues, was on the coaching lines again Friday and amused the fans the same as on home opening day Thursday. Attendance Friday was about 1,500, including women admitted free. It was “ladies’ day.”
Kokomo Five Grabs Pin Lead; City Stars to Roll Sunday
The Fridlin Laundry team from Kokomo rolled into first place in the team event of the state bowling tournament on the Pritchett alleys Friday with a total of 2,885. Consistent scoring by every member of this team gave these boys the top, their sheet showing games of 952, 973 and 960, with a 561 low count, and a 613 by Sellars leading the way. The Century Lunch team of Indianapolis reached second place with a count of 2,869 that featured a big 1.068 game in their second try. Captain Branum led this quintet with a total of 629 that included a 257 count during this second-game rally. All other teams on this squad failed to pass the 2,700 mark. Hamblin, anchor for the Curry & Son team from Shelbyville, found the range after a poor start of 159 to total 607. The veteran Harry

Colonel Matt Winn has the Churchill Downs grounds looking spick and span and the place is beautiful. Over at the barns Friday everythin! was a hustle in final orenarations for the opening today. They had fust brought Colonel Hatfield off the track in the final prep for his race today. His backers were praying for rain. Then over to the jock house, there was C. E. Allen. W. Wright from the coast, Rob Finnertv, Gilbert Elston. Don Meade. Monte Parke. C. Landout. C. Corbett. Jack Westrope, E. Steffen. L. Pichon and others. I asked some railbird who was going to win the Derby. His answer was: ”111 bite, who is going to win it?” They sure had a flock of horses entered for the opening today, so look out for the "opening day long shots.” You fellows who are driving down watch the road at Speeds. Ind. I almost hit the ditch at the run around at anew bridge. Colonel Bradley made the statement that this year's Derby was the most open race it has been for some few years. We won't argue with the gentleman from Kentucky regarding this. He is absolutely correct.

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 29.—A huge Saturday crowd was expected at Yankee stadium today to watch New York and the Senators play ball, attracted by hopes of violence after their free-for-all at Washington Tuesday and the penalties meted out to three principals Friday. Most of the fans, experts and players considered the five-day suspensions and SIOO fines quite mild punishments for the trio held responsible for instigating the stormiest baseball brawl in years. Many of the fans, therefore, held hopes that the two outfits might resume hostilities. President William Harridge of the American League warned that penalties for further outbreaks would

Easy for Birds Now, Says Art By United Press ST. PAUL, Minn., April 29.—Art Shires, juggled between two major league baseball clubs and then to the minors, still thinks he’s the greatest player on the diamond. "The majors will realize again that they can’t get along without me. as they did two years ago.” Shires modestly said as he reported to the Columbus Red Birds Friday for a game with St. Paul. "Columbus is all set now. With me on first base it’ll be a romp the rest of the way.” Shires was purchased from the Boston Braves by the St. Louis Cardinals and then sold to Columbus.

Popular Leon Duray in „ 500-Mile Grind Again
Veteran Coast Pilot Seeks Honors for Twelfth Time in New 4-Cylinder Creation: Holds Speedway Lap Record of 124 Miles an Hour. The most colorful loser in automobile racing will try again in the annual 500-mile classic at the Indianapolis motor speedway. May 30. Leon Duray, w’hose eleven years in competition in the Decoration day contest has won $2,200 in sixth place prize money, is one of the last-minute entries. Duray will desert his two-cycle motor principle, which he has puttered with for the past two races, and bring to the track this year anew 4-cylinder, 220 cubic inch, four-cycle power plant. Holder of the fastest lap ever made over the two and a half mile track, which he traveled at 124.018 miles an hour, Duray always has been a fast qualifier when his cars would run and has held the pole position many times. He is as daring a pilot as ever tooled a car through the sharp turns of the Hoosier track, but one of the most unfortunate.

Since his first race here in 1922, Duray has only once found a car which would hold together for 500 miles under his terrific driving and in 1925 placed sixth for a cut of the prize money. He has made eight attempts in these eleven years and for three years inability to get his car ready for qualification kept him on the sidelines. His complicated two cycle, multiple cylindered job hardly got out of the garage last year. A movie director’s dream of what a race driver should look and art like, Duray is a crowd pleaser anywhere he goes, winning or lasing. He is a native of Los Angeles, and received his early training in the tough school of racing immortals. In his first race he drove against the late Jimmy Murphy, who won; Harry Hartz, Eddie Hearne, Ralph DePalma, Ira Vail, Ralph Mulford, Roscoe Sarles. Jules Goux, Tommy Milton, the late Howard (Howdy) Wilcox and the still untried Pete DePaolo. He has lived and driven through three generations of fast drivers and experts declare that his record breaking run at 124 miles an hour was the most perfect lap ever driven on the Indianapolis speedway. Henry (Hank) Maley of Evansville, wealthy car owner, also entered the 500-mile classic today. He will bring to the track an automobile powered by a 255 cubic-inch four cylinder Miller motor. Maley has entered cars in five previous Speedway races for “sport'’ but this year he has announced he is seeking a share of the prize money. His driver has not been named.
