Cleveland Takes Top Mel Harder Pitches, Bats Tribe Into A. L. Lead. BY JACK CUDDY Tniteri Pre* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. May 12 —Cleveland climaxed a month of excellent play by wresting the American League lead from New York Thursday, thereby discrediting somewhat the experts who gave the Indians only a fighting chance to retain fourth place for their fourth straight season. Instead of slumping into the second division, Roger Peckinpaugh's Tribe has launched an impressive drive toward the pennant. Improved play in the field and continuance of last season’s excellent pitching have featured the climb. These assets combined with fair, timely hitting make the club a formidable, well-balanced outfit. Harder Beats Boston Young Mel Harder pitched and batted the Indians into command of the league lead Thursday as they trimmed Boston, 4 to 1, dropping the idle New York Yankees from a top tie to second place. Harder held the Red Sox to six hits, scored after a double and provided the decisive tally with a, home run in the fifth inning. His mates pounded Andrews and Welch for ten hits. Rick Ferrell, from the Browns, performed well in his debut as Boston's catcher. Washington dropped to fourth position by lasing to St. Louis, 4 to 3. Home runs by Ted Clullie and Sam West, each with a man on. accounted for the Browns' four tallies. Pirates Rap Giants Pittsburgh took a firmer grip on the National League lead by nosing out New York. 7 to 6. The Giants’ four errors contributed to Carl Hubbell's defeat, as the Pirates found him for twelve safeties. The idle Chicago Cubs rose to a fourth-place tie with the Cincinnati when the Reds dropped a 7 to 6 game to Brooklyn. Lefty O’Doul’s perfect day at bat with five hits,! including a homer, in five times up, J accounted for five Dodger runs. Jake ! Flowers’ single drove in the win- I ning tally in the ninth. Bill Hallnhan pitched St. Louis to a 2 to 1 victory over Boston, lim- I iting the Braves to seven 'hits, while ! Huck Betts was found for nine, in- j eluding a four-bagger by Joe Med- i wick in the fourth.

"Old Reliable' Again Cleans Up in Making Pins Say ‘Uncle’

jFmSHtf* £***

BY LEFTY LEE KNOWN to all bowlers in the country’ as “Old Reliable.” Jess Pritchett of Indianapolis always has been the best pinman in the city since the age of 15, when he led the old Indianapolis League in 1902 with an average of 160. Since that time he has led all leagues in which he bowled, with the exception of two. In 1903, when Indianapolis was host city of the American Bowling Congress, Jess rolled the first 300 game ever made in this city. The tourney opened on Monday at old Tomlinso-i hall, and on the Saturday night before the meet opened Pritchett hit the perfect game on the old City Club alleys on West Market street. Jess rolled with the Tishimingo pastimers in the big A. B. C. meet that year and they finished in sixth place. In 1902 his teammates took him to the national

meet at Buffalo to give him experience, and he led them all with a 617 total. n u WHAT Pritchett considers his greatest feat in the bowling game -was his season’s w’ork of 1908 when he rolled 264 games on twenty-four different alleys for an average of 200. This average was I secured under old conditions when I kick-backs were complete stran-. gers to fiber and the gutters deeper. This year’s play in the point of actual pins secured was the old master's greatest by far. During the Mid-West tournament at St. Louis early in the season he rolled an all-time world tournament record of 778 pins in the singles. During the city meet his singles total was 758 and he is the present champ. Another world's record is his average of 220 30.81 pins per game in the Optimist League. it a a IN the four leagues, the Optimist, City, Indianapolis and Capitol City Traveling his marks were 220. 217, 216 and 209 for a combined mark of better than 215 pins per game. In the recent state meet Pritchett scored 707 to lead the Barbasol team to an all-time record of 3,198. He rolled 620 in the doubles and 611 in his singles to take the runner-up position in the all-events. NEIGHBORHOOD THEATERS Irene Dunne “BACK STREET” ■■■■■■■■■■l W. Wash, and Bel.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Turf Stars Meet Again Twelve 3-Year-Olds Ready for Rich Pimlico Classic. By T i in ft Special BALTIMORE. May 12.—Twelve 3-year-olds are expected to go to the post in Saturday's renewal of the $25,000 Pimlico Preakness here over the mile and three-sixteenths route. The field appears evenly matched, with Head Play, second in the Kentucky Derby last Saturday, as the favorite. Broker's Tip. Derby winner, also is in the field and his backers hope the Bradley color-bearer will repeat his nose triumph over Mrs. Silas Mason's star. Eight of the twelve probable starters raced in the Derby. Others expected to face the barrier are Ladysman. Derby favorite, which finished fourth; Pomponius, Kery Patch, Utopian, Silent Shot. Dark Winter, Poppyman. Mr. Khayyam, Inlander and DeValera, the latter looming as the hope of the long-shot players. Feather Title Tilt Delayed J By United Pn *9 NEW YORK. May 12.—Return oi big time boxing to New York, after an absence of several weeks, was postponed for one week when Kid Chocolate came down with a stomachache Thursday and said he could not meet Seaman Tom Watson tonight. Chocolate is regarded in New York as world featherweight champion, and Watson is the British title holder. Chocolate’s indisposition came as a distinct surprise. The postponement was especially unexpected because of the advance sale for the show promised a gate of upward of $40,000; because Chocolate was an 8 to 5 betting favorite, and because Watson, not Chocolate, was the principal who might have been having trouble making weight.

Howard , Washington Star , and 54 Other City Athletes Ousted

Investigation of independent basketball tourney games played after the state high school tournament in March today had resulted in suspension of fifty-five additional athletes of two city high schools. One of the most important suspensions today was that of Edwin i Hop i Howard, star all-around athlete at Washington. Howard, rated one of the best quartet backs in the state and captain of the baseball squad, was ruled ineligible until Jan. 1, 1934, by Justin Marshall, Purple athletic director. Howard's fine pitching and batting for the Washington nine this season has created much comment. He also is one of the Continental’s leading basketball performers a.nd a star on the golf links, ranking him as one of the hading prep athletes of Indiana. James Leeper, track and cage star; Edgar Pearson, track and bas-
