LEADING BIRDS ARRIVE FOR SERIES

Indians and Columbus in First Tilt Tonight League Pacemakers Billed Here for Three Games; Frank Sigafoos Appreciation Program Wednesday Knocked Out by Cloudburst With Stadium Nearly Filled. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sport* Editor The league-leading Columbus Red Birds, piloted by Ray Blades, hit town today and will begin a short series with the Indians at the stadium tonight. The pacemakers had their sails trimmed recently by Louisville and Toledo, but the Buckeyes still are boasting about their “class” and the Tribesmen are eager to make up for the four-in-a-row trouncing handed them by the Birds a couple of weeks ago. Pilot Blades has nearly all of his regulars back in action and is endeavoring to “key” his club and put it in winning stride again. St. Paul has crept within four games of the Birds, and Indianapolis, Minneapolis and Toledo all are over the .500 mark and in position to make it hard going in the event Columbus continues to slip.

The Birds lost to Toledo Wednesday and the Indians were rained out of their effort to make a sweep over the Louisville Colonels. Rain fell in sheets at Perry stadium and the series finale with the Kentuckians finally was called off after 9 p. m. The field was drenched as a result of about forty-five minutes of a constant downpour and there wasn't a chance to resume action. Huge Crowd on Hand The largest crowd of the season w’as present and hundreds of fans still were in front of the stadium when the thunderstorm struck. Game time was moved up, but the first inning went unfinished. The Colonels were blanked in their half and the Tribesmen had one run in and one runner on base with two down when the "pour” became so heavy the players and umpires were chased to cover. With the exception of the boxes, the grandstand was well-filled and about 1,500 "kids” were in the bleachers. It was a freak storm over the city, but it was all real at the ball park and the outfield resembled a lily pond, so much rain fell within a short time. Many Gifts to Sigafoos It was “Prank Sigafoos appreciation night” and the Indians’ popular record-breaking slugger was the recipient of many valuable gifts. He was greeted with enthusiastic acclaim by the 10,000 fans and responded with a hit, driving in a run, before the violent storm ruined the entertainment. Jim Turner and Archie McKain were the pitchers. Due to the fact the Wednesday night game was offered at reduced prices in the grandstand—4o cents everywhere except the boxes the Tribe officials announced that the rain checks will be honored at the Louisville-Indianapolis game of July 28 when another “appreciation night” will be held at Perry stadium. The Louisville club co-operated in every way to make the Wednesday affair a success and for that reason the program that was wrecked by the cloudburst will be repeated when the Colonels make their next visit to Indianapolis. “Ladies’ Night" Game The series opener with Columbus tonight will start at 8:15 and women will be admitted free to the grandstand with the payment of the ten cents federal amusement tax. Paul Dean, brother of the famous Dizzy, is slated to pitch for Columbus in the series starter. He is one of the best flingers in the league. The Birds have taken on Lew Hinchman, infielder, and Hal Funk, catcher. The latter is from the Houston club. Hinchman is the former Ohio State university football star and is the son of the Bill Hinchman, former big league outfielder. ROQUE MEET' PLANNED City Players to Discuss Tourney at Session Friday. A meeting of roque players was held recently at the courts at Fall creek and Thirtieth street. Officers elected were D. C. FJillis, president, and Robert Petty, secretary' and treasurer. Plans for a tournament were discussed. Another meeting will be held Friday at 7:30 p. m. at the same place. All roque players and croquet players are invited to attend.

Another ‘Wonder Horse ’ Arrives

WWBMWI' a A y A> ' v 'fjf

Following the brilliant trail of Phar Lap . , . here’s Winooka, the wonder horse from Australia, as he arrived in Los Angeles ready to race the best of American thoroughbreds. WINOOKA, one of Australia’s famed horses, has arrived in Los Angeles to attempt the task of winning American racing honors so ably begun by Phar Lap, the sensational turf star from “down under” who died suddenly after winning the Agua Caliente handicap in record

time. In Australia, Winooka has done enough to cause Australian handicappers to put everything up to and including a ten-ton truck on his back. For that reason, his owners are looking for rich purses and light weights (the American weight scale is lower than the Australian) or perhaps match races with Equipoise and Gallant Sir. tt tt tt WINOOKA has several sensational accomplishments to his credit.* He astounded the turf world by running a mile in 1:33% w’ith 139 pounds on his back. Such a race compares favorably with our own Equipoise’s mark of 1:34 2-5 with 128 pounds impost. He also won four races in three days, including the Doncaster Cup. Winooka probably will be ready for American racing when Hawthorn track opens at Chicago. Already they are talking of match races with Equipoise and Gallant Sir in the east.

Lyric Will CKange to First Run Movie House Present Policy of Stage Presentations With Its Permanent Dancing Chorus Closes Tonight After Eight Weeks. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN AFTER the final shows tonight of the combined stage presentation and feature movie policy, the Lyric theater will dispense of the vaudeville part of the program, going into a straight feature and short subject movie policy. Mr. A. J. Kalberer. manager of the Lyric, terms the change a “summer policy,” probably extending into late August or around the first of September. According to Mr. Kalberer. it is his idea to offer a “five unit form of entertainment” for the balance of the summer. The chief feature of the program will be the feature movie, a first run photoplay of major

importance. The bill under the new plan opening Friday will feature James Dunn and Joan Bennett in a Fox film, “Arizona to Broadway.” Supporting this feature will be a

two-reel comedy, “Hot Hoofs,” with Moran and Mack, known as the Two Black Crows. Other movies will be a Terry-toon animated cartoon, “Tropical Fish”; anew Fox Movietone News, and, “D own Memory Lane,” a musical reel starring Miss Texas Guinan. The “flesh” part of the bill will be represented by Lester Huff

James Dunn

at the pipe organ playing a medley of song hits of the day. Basil Hobbs, the Lyric's singing usher, will sing “Farewell to Arms.” This young man has been making good, showing an improvement over the previous week. “Arizona to Broadway,” the featured film, presents James Dunn iQ. anew type of role and brings Joan Bennett back to the screen after a protracted absence of several months. The picture tells the ‘ story of a young confidence man in a western carnival who comes to the rescue of a beautiful girl. His sole reason for shielding her is to evolve a scheme of his own whereby he can victimize her himself. However, his plans are knocked awry when he falls in love with the girl. Besides Dunn and Miss Bennett, the cast of “Arizona to Broadway” includes Herbert Mundin, Sammy Cohen. Theodore Von Eltz, Merna Kennedy, Earl Foxe, and Walter Catlett. tt tt a Other Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Ladies and Hussars”

ANNEXATION OF I ; PERRY SCHOOL 1 AREA HELD VOID Section Is Turned Back to Township in Ruling by Judge Williams. A half-mile square section of Perry township and a SIOO,OOO school building is today the property of the township following an attempt at annexation by the city. Superior Judge Joseph R. Williams. in a ruling Wednesday afternoon. restored the ground and building tj the township in upholding a remonstrance of residents against the annexation. The ground and school was annext to the city by a 1932 ordinance on request of University ; Heights residents, who had been paying $67 annual transfer fee for their children's attendance at the l school, outside the city limits. Attorneys for the Perry residents, however, pointed out that with children outside the city limits attending the school as a city school, a [ transfer charge of $93 was made.
