YORK, May 10.—The old crew coach laughed long and lustily, but not for publication. “I ” he began anonymously, because he doesn't like to see his name in the newspaper, “wonder why it is so easy to fool the American sports public sometimes?” He spiraled some smoke skyward from his cigar. He didn't say whether or not this was for publication, either. But he resumed talking. "I mean, why is it that so many people have been scared into thinking that we have a sport that hurts young men? They finally solved the mystery of Camera’s sucker tour and they’ve stopped believing in goblins, but rowing? Any blatherskite can tell them things and they believe it. “Just the other day I found a magazine with an article by a person w ith M. D . N. R. A. and C. W. A. after his name. He sounded off about rowing and went to great length to point out that it wasn't fit for any one but supermen. And supermen who didn't care what happened to them at that. ’ a a a a a a THE coach waxed angry. “Do you know how old that bosh is? Do you know how old I was when I first read that in a popular magazine that isn’t published any more?” He supplied his own answer. “They were talking that way forty years ago and they were shut up forty years ago. And what gets me mad is that no one shuts them up today. They settled the question years ago up in New' England at one of the universities where rowing is a big thing. Medical officials w’ent back into the files and checked up on graduates who had competed in various sports while in school. Then they surveyed the current status of the graduates, their health at the time of the inquiry and their illnesses, if any, during or since undergraduate days. Well, they found rowing way down on the list for diabetes, heart trouble or any woes which afflict men of middle age. Football,, baseball and a whole flock of sports had taken more out of the athletes, according to these figures, which had the backing of reliable authorities. "At the time it seemed pretty conclusive. The velpers shut up and rowing, instead of being curtailed, was expanded at this particular institution.” The coach relit his cigar, which had gone out in the heat of his eloquence. “You know.” he continued, “a lot of women are opposed to their sons rowing because of these silly fears put into their heads. But women can become the greatest boosters of this sport in the world. a a a a a a “T REMEMBER how I once put over a rowing program that seemed 1 sure to be killed by a high school mothers' association at a meeting. They were about to take action against it and someone warned me not to try to save it. They're against it.’ he insisted, and you know women when they get their minds made up.’ “But I wasn't going to give up without a struggle. So that evening I went before this hall full of women. I was pretty young then, myself, and they probably were sympathetically inclined toward me. Maybe because I was near the age of their children. “Anyway, it was the first real speech of my life and I stood on my two legs and talked with trembling lips. I told them there wasn't a finer place to exercise than on the river. I talked about, the sunshine and the open, healthful aspect. I spoke about the fact that when the boys row they wear no bulky, sweaty uniforms. “Somehow, it got across. The women were beaming w'hon I sat down. They saved rowing after that and that same city today has an extensive program of schoolboy rowing which has never found a boy on any of the crews getting underweight or run down.”

She’s for Higher Fences Especially When Visitors Bat, Female Reporter Comments After Attending Night Opener. BY HELEN LINDSAY Times Staff Writer MR. EDDIE ASH. veteran sports editor of The Times, scratched his head late yesterday afternoon, and mumbed to himself. “It’s the opening night baseball game, and we really should do something about it,’’ he muttered. He looked over the staff of male reporters. They were wan and weary-eyed. Mr. Ash remembered that there just had been a primary election. He knew that every available man had been kept busy many hours on tabulating the vote. “Can't use any of them,” he decided.

THEN his eye wandered to the female reporter's desk. “Friday night is ladies’ night," he muttered. “Maybe wed better have a woman's story on this ball game tonight.” So the female reporter was surprised with tickets, and told to go to the ball game. “You know something about ball games, don t you?” she was asked. “You don't have to be technical,” he added. The female reporter was excited. For two years she had yearned for a sports assignment. She hurried home to get ready for the game. In her rush, she stumbled over a cedar chest, and did possible permanent damages to a knee. But she arrived at Perry stadium with copy papier and pencil, in spite of injuries. e tt tt EVEN a female reporter could realize that it was a swell ball game. Os course, she wondered with feminine curiosity, what the pitcher and catcher said to each other, when they consulted during the game. Did they discuss the election, when to lead your ace in playing a three spade bid. or the size of the crowd at the ball park? She watched Bedore and Wingard on first, base, and wondered how Mr. Wingard felt playing against the team by which he recently had been sold. She thought the lights flashing on and off. recording strikes, balls and outs, very effective. And when the ball went zooming over the fence, bringing in three runs for Milwaukee, she wondered why Mr. Norman Perry hadn't made the fence higher. S tt M THE female reporter took Mr. Ash at his word. She didn't try to get technical. She couldn't

have, if she tried. In fact, she sympathized with the woman behind her, who won undying scorn from her male escort by suggesting that the pitcher should stand at the edge of the bare place nearest the batter. The female reporter had had the same idea herself. She joined in the cheers for Mr. Sigafoos. and mentally compared the air of pride and importance of the small batboys to that of Greta Garbo's personal maid. “It must be swell to serve the great.” she mused. a a a A T home, the female reporter picked stray bits of popcorn from her pockets, and applied arnica to the bruises on her knee. She remembered the shining leather knee pads the catcher wore, and his bright red shin guards. “They'd be be very useful to wear when dodging cedar chests,” she said. There's only one thing that the female reporter knows about the ball game. Indianapolis lost to Milwaukee. But it was a swell game, and is she glad that tomorrow is ladies’ night!

CAVALCADE MAY RUN IN RICH PREAKNESS

Wingard Tees Off Against Old Mates and Indians Drop Night Opener to Brewers Ernie Makes Bow With Milwaukee by Collecting Three Hits, One Over Wall in Ninth With Two On; ‘Line Drive Jinx’ Rides Tribe. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The “opening game charm” held by Red Killefer's Indians this spring was knocked askrew under the lights of Perry stadium last night and the Tribesmen were unable to capture the inaugural of 1934 nocturnal pastiming. The Hoosiers won the road opener at Toledo April 17 and also annexed their home lid-lifter on April 24, but Ernie Wingard, former Indian, stepped into their path yesterday evening and punched his old mates into submission, 5 to 4. The change of uniforms made so much difference to the elongated first sacker that the Indians had a tough time getting him out. He batted in four of the visitors’ runs and also helped the other Milwaukee tally around the paths. With the Tribe leading 4 to 2 in the ninth, Jim Turner issued a pass to Earl Webb and Ted Gullic reached base on a pop

j fly to the left garden, Rosenberg evidently was playing I out on Sixteenth street when Gullic was up and Rosie still was galloping from his outpost when the fly hit the ground. Mr. Wingard then j stepped to the plate and walloped ! the sphere over the right field wall for a home run, and these three markers oeat the home nine, although they had runners on third I and second in their half of the ninth when the side was retired on a close play at first on Bedore's short infield roller. Four Brewer Double Plays Old Man Jinx gave the Indians ; a hard riding all night. They ob- ! tained twelve hits to nine for the Brewers, but ten of the Hoosiers were left on base to four for Milwaukee. Moreover, the visiting athletes pulled four double plays which smothered efforts of the locals to stage a big inning. Two of the twin killings resulted from line drives with plenty of heat on them and these kind of breaks caused the Indians to feel they were receiving more than their share of bad breaks. The Tribesmen knocked Jim Walkup out of the box in the eighth when they rallied for three runs to take the lead, 4 to 2, and Pressnell went in, stopped the Redskin assault and got credit for the victory when Wingard poled the leather out of the park in the ninth. Johnny Coney and Johnny Riddle led the home attack with three blows each, one of Cooney’s safeties going for two bases and two of Riddle’s blows going for doubles. Riddle batted in two runs and the other two Tribe markers tallied when pitcher Walkup made a wild heave over second. Two Caught at Plate Milwaukee was first to score. Webb doubled in the second and raced home on Wingard's first wallop, a single to center. The Indians tied the game in the sixth when a hit batsman, single, stolen base and double got them only one run. Two men were caught at the plate in that stanza, in the seventh singles by Webb. Wingard and Storti gave the Brewers the lead again, 2 to 1, and in the eighth the Hoosiers stepped out in front, only to collapse in the ninth. The second skirmish of the Brewer-Tribe series will be played under the lights tonight at 8:15 and the series finale will be staged tomorrow night at the same starting time. Tomorrow will be “ladies’ night.” Kansas City will follow the Brewers to the stadium and the first tilt with the Blues will be on Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock. There will be no game Saturday night. A double-header will be the offering on Sunday afternoon, and on Monday night another “ladies’ night,” the Blues and Indians will wind up their series and it will mark the last home stand for the Indians until May 29. The Brewers released Dudley Branom, veteran first baseman, last night, and Peewee Wanninger, veteran infielder, also was dropped.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1934

Eddie Marshall, formerly of the New York Giants, a shortstop, was purchased by Milwaukee from Bufi falo of the International League. | American Association clubs must j cut to the player limit today and ! the Indians will meet it by sending pitcher Ed Baringer to Ft. Wayne of the Central loop. The defeat of the Tribesmen last night sent them tumbling out of the first division and they were in fifth place today. Manager Killefer tried another shift in his lineup last night, using Fred Bedore at first base and Ray White at third. This change put Johnny Cooney back in center field. White is weak with the stick, although highly regarded as a defensive player. TRIBE BATTING FIGURES AB H Pet.
