N™ YORK, April 20.—Ignoring the headlines and studying the box scores I find somewhat to my astonishment that a few other changes have been made in the personnel of big league teams besides the transfer of Babe Ruth to the Braves from the Yanks. Indeed the Ruth transaction, while epochal as a matter of public interest, was only one of an extraordinary large number of team changes. To come immediately to the point, not one major league club took the field this year with the same lineup that opened the 1934 season. Not even the two clubs that fought it out for the World Series, the Tigers and the Cards, presented the same lineups, though the Tigers came very close to it; their only chang- was in starting White in center field where Doljack had been a year ago—:.nd White as the season rolled along had established himself as a regular anyway. a a a a a a IN addition to adding new faces practically all of the clubs saw fit to switch certain players from one position to another. The world champion Cards furnish a typical example. The weak spot in the Cards’ lineup a year ago was center field. To correct this young Terry Moore was brought in from the American Association, and apparently he is the answer. The opening day lineup of the 1934 Cards saw Gene Moore in center field. Terry’ Moore was in that spot this year, and young Delaney was behind the bat Instead of Davis. The other changes were incidental, Medwick and Rothrock exchanging places in left and right field. a a a a a a THE two clubs in the National League which showed the most changes in their 1935 starting lineups of 1934 were the Phillies and the Reds, two very ordinary ball clubs which had nothing to lose by wholesale experimentation. They couldn’t possibly be any worse no matter what they attempted. The Phillies mad seven changes, the Reds six. Some of these changes mirror very vividly the uncertainty of baseball as a career. A year ago Blondy Ryan, for instance, as a member of the world champion Giants, riding the crest of a spectacular publicity wave inspired by his dramatic telegram to his manager, “They cant beat us.” * Now he is doing the best he can as the Phillies’ shortstop. One of the many changes made by the Reds was the installation of Sam Bvrd in left field. I can remember when Byrd as a member of the Yanks was touted as the man who would ultimately replace Babe Ruth. But when the time came to replace the Babe, Byrd was shunted off to the American Rhine and a young man named Selkirk was brought in from Newark to handle the assignment. aaa a a a TkERHAPS the most interesting case of this nature is represented by £ Mark Koenig. A year ago he was going through the motions as the Reds’ third baseman, after having been fetched back from the minors. Today as a one-man substitute infield with the Giants, he stands an excellent chance to get in another World Series. And yet some people say roulette is a hazardous pastime. The opening day lineup of the Cubs showed Freddie Lindstrom at third base. Thus in the sere and yellow of his career the Chicago athlete finds himself as a regular on a home town team. But before he got there he was a headliner with the Giants and a competent performer in the cast of the Pirates. What is it they say about a prophet and the skepticism of his neighbors? There were fewer changes in the opening day lineups in the American League than in the National, but so there w f as no marked tendency to maintain the status quo To repeat, the champion Tigers went into (he new campaign practically intact, but all of the other clubs showed from two to five changes, the Browns setting the pace in alterations. a a a a a a NOT only did the Browns lead in experimentation, but their manager, Roger Hornsby. appear'd in the opening day lineup at first base, a position altogether new to him. Hornsby is no longer a first-rate player in the field, but he still can hit. This experiment stresses the importance of hitting in baseball. The theory is that a man who can drive in runs will more than make up for whatever deficiencies he may have on the defense. The most radical change in the opening day lineups in the American j League was presented by the Athletics. Jimmy Foxx was changed from a first baseman into a catcher. A year ago any suggestion that Connie Mack would attempt such a gamble would have been laughed down. Now because of the change the Athletics are looked upon as the dark horse of the league.

With a total of 440 pins for his first two games. Dad Hanna opened his final in the Washington League with a spare and then proceeded to toss ten consecutive strikes and a seven count to wind up at 287 which give him a 727 for his evenings work. It was his second 700 count of the season, his first having been a 717, rolled in the Indianapolis League last October.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY’, APRIL 20, 1935

The Pittsburgh club maintained an even .500 percentage yesterday by cashing in on the outstanding pitching performance of the season. It was a one-hit, 3-to-0 shutout by Big Darrell Blanton agair.st the world champion Cardinals. Davis Prevents No-Hit Game As he mowed down the Cards, Blanton, a right-hander fresh out of ! Albany,.walked only one and struck out six in missing baseball’s hall of fame by the margin of a single, which Catcher Davis made in the second inning. That defeat shoved the Cards into a fifth, sixth and seventh-place tie with the well-liked Cubs and Ruthrejuvenated Braves. The Giants—figured to give the Cards a race if the two clubs ever get started—remained on the bottom. The baffling Brooklyns, picked by their Mr. Stengel to stay in the first division, earned their first-place tie the hard way—by taking two in a day ’Over the Boston Braves at Boston. They won only one there all last season.

Giants Are Swamped Lefty W. Watson Clark’s pitching, and four double plays gave them the first by 4 to 2, and they took the second by the same count on a homer by Danny Taylor in the first inning with the sacks loaded. The Phillies, by contrast, maintained their pace the easy way, by swinging from their heels, by piling up 23 hits, including Dolph Camilli’s third and fourth home runs in two days, another by Watkins and doubles by Vergez, John Moore and Wilson. That added up into an 18-to-7 win over the Giants, who used Fitzsimmons, Castleman, Gabler and Smith trying to stop the Phils. The Cincinnati Reds sent Si Johnson to the hill against Chicago and Grimm’s Cubs suffered their second shutout in two days, this time, by 4 to 0 against 8-hit pitching. Chisox Nick Tigers In three American League games, the Red Sox pontinued to dominate the scene by scoring their third victory in xour starts, with Lefty Grove making his first comeback effort. He was given credit for the 10-to-4 victory over Washington, but retired in the seventh for a pinch-hitter. The Yankees lost their third in four starts, when Wally Moses and Bob Johnson hit homers, the latter with the bases filled, for the Athletics, who won, 6-5, The Detroit champions came to grief against rookie Johnny Whitehead of the Texas League, who pitched six-hit ball as the Chicago White Sox scored a 3-to-2 win. Gehringer’s homer was wasted. Yesterday’s hero—Darrell Blanton, Pirates, rookie right-hander, who held the Cards to one hit and scored a shutout. Cub Pilot Makes Changes In Lineup Klein and Manager Retire to Bench. is if United Press CHICAGO, April 20.—The failure of the Chicago Cubs to score a run in their last two games today caused Manager Charlie Grimm to consider further changes in the team’s lineup. Yesterday he benched Chuck Klein for Frank Demareee and took himself out of the game for Phil Cavaretta. “The way we’re going the lineup is subject to change on a minute’s notice,” said Grimm. “We have to start some hitting.” The Cubs were blanked yesterday by the Reds. 4-0. getting only one man to third base on Si Johnson. The previous day Paul Dean pitched the Cardinals to 1-0 victory over the Cubs.

Tribe Notes

Johnny Riddle caught his first game of the season for the Tribe and turned in a neat job. The Hens respected his throwing ability and declined to attempt a theft. Johnny pounded out one hit, drew one walk and on another occasion he was the victim of bad scorekeeping when he blasted a whistling drive between Haney’s legs and the Toledo scorers called it an error. It was a toughbreak for Riddle. The Tribe infield was shaky in the second inning, Otherwise the Hens would not have counted in that session. However, the boys got together after that canto and played headsup baseball on the defense. Johnny Cooney had another good day- He roamed far and wide in center, got two hits and a walk and scored twice. Old Hoss Riggs Stephenson went hitless, but was credited with two runs batted in. He drew a pass with the bases loaded in the first frame and in the second Cooney dashed home from third while the Hens were occupied in retiring Stevie at first. The start of the game was delayed one-half hour on account of the observance of Good Friday. The Indians went through a long practice owing to the fact it was the best day for weather they have had, including spring training days. George Susce, Toledo catcher, challenged the Indians to try his arm and they responded with three stolen sacks. In the ninth he got the ball to second ahead of Heath, but Laskowski dropped it. Baseball fans of Gas City, Ind., have petitioned Manager Haney of Toledo to pitch Joe Bartulis against the Indians on April 27 w'hen the Hens will be visiting Perry Stadium. Bartulis hails from Gas City and his admirers desire to give him a rousing send off. Haney has promised to do his best to have Bartulis ready on the day requested. Joe is a glass worker.

Tribesmen Seek Third A. A. Victory in Tilt at Toledo Today; Thomas on Rubber Indians to Wind U; Initial Road Trip With Double-Header Tomorrow; Cotelle and Heath Shine as Killefermen Defeat Mud Hens by 6-to-3 Score. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor. TOLEDO, O-, April 20— Pasting a record of two victories and on# defeat in their first three games on the road the Indians now enter a heavy week-end consisting of three tilts in two days before setting sail for their home opener at Pern stadium in Indianapolis on Tuesday.

The Hoosier pinned back the feathers of the Toledo Mud Hens in the series starter here yesterday, 6 to 3, following an even break in two battles at Columbus, and this afternoon the Tribesmen will tackle Freddy Haney's pastimers in another conflict at 3 p. m. (2 p. m. Indianapolis time). Myles Thomas, the veteran right-hander obtained from St. Paul in a trade last fall, will serve ’em up from the Hoosier mound. It will be Thomas’ first regular action as a member of Red Killefer's Redskins. He has been bothered with molar trouble recently and lost ten days, but he advised Manager Killefer last night that he felt equal to the task of accepting the assignment this afternoon. Tribe to Drill Monday The series at Swayne Reid here will close with a double-header tomorrow and the Indians then will leave at once for Indianapolis. No game will be played Monday, but the Tribe sters will be called out for a long drill at Perry Stadium in the afternoon. The champion Red Birds will be the visiting team when the Indians lift the lid at home Tuesday afternoon. The Redskins got off to a flying start against the Hens yesterday by scoring three runs in the first stanza. Big Hal Chamberlain made his initial 1935 start in the box for Chief Killefer and lasted until the ninth when he weakened and Phil Gallivan was called in to check the home nine. Chamberlain pitched a fine game until two were away in the eighth. His strength left him at that point and he issued a walk and allowed two hits and a run before he found enough stuff to strike out pinchhitter Zapustas. Gallivan Smothers Rally When Fred Haney, first up in the ninth, worked Chamberlain for a free ticket a hurry-up call was sent for Gallivan and Phil was found ready. He got Parker on a pop fly and Leonard singled, Haney stopping at second. The Hens were stopped when Roettger flied to Cotelle and Powers sent a deep fly to Stephenson. The Hoosiers knocked Orlin Col-

lier out of the box in the opening inning and it was in this frame that Como Cotelle stole home on relief pitcher Paul Sullivan, a lefthander. Como tned to duplicate the theft of home in the third, but was nabbed. He played a dandy game in the field and was in the battle up to his cars. Hub Walker of Toledo belted a home run over the right field fence in the sixth, and that gave Mickey Heath of the Indians an idea. He came up in the next inning and walloped a homer that went higher and farther than Walkers drive. However, Walker was the batting leader of the day with four consecutive hits. Each club collected nine blows. Haney Acquires Jitters It was the fourth straight setback for the Mud Hens, and Fred Hanev, their new pilot, has the early season jitters. He was the third base star for Indianapolis when the Hoosiers copped the pennant in 1928. Four pitchers and two pinch-hitters failed to lift the Hens out of the mire yesterday, and to add to Haney’s embarrassment both of his pinch batters struck out. The Indians tallied in the first, third, sixth and seventh, and the Hens scored in the second, sixth and eighth. Runners were on the paths in every inning except the Toledo half of the fifth, and for that reason the interest of the fans was keyed until the final out. One miscue was chalked against the Tribe and two against Toledo. The home hurler3 issued eight walks and Chamberlain handed out four free tickets.
