Redskins Hop Off for Two

‘Play in Toledo First, Then | Visit Columbus; Last Hen. Tilt Off.

With the series finale with the Mud Hens rained out today, the Indians packed their luggage and prepared to leave for Toledo tonight on their first road trip of the new

season. The Redskins will begin a round of three tilts with Fred Haney's flock at Swayne Field tomorrow and it will be the home opener on the banks of the Maumee, where the fans have promised to give a noisy welcome to the rejuvenated Hens. The Tribesters will depart by train at 10 o'clock tonight and establish headquarters at the New Secor Hotel, Wade Killefer’s hopefuls split even in four games during their initial home stand, with Columbus and Toledo, and the winning pitchers were Vance Page and Red Phillips. Page shut out tHe Red Birds last Satur-

to get the call again in Toledo tomorrow. He probably will be opposed by Paul (Dizzy) Trout, the big fellow who was with the Indians last season’ and helped them to fin{ish fourth in the regular race and second in the postseason playoff.

To Return April 29

The Redskins will go to Columbus for four tilts after completing the Toledo visit and then return to Perry Stadium on April 29 to entertain the Louisville, Colonels for a series. Incidentally, the Colonels continue to demonstrate they are not the pushovers as rated before the season started and have won three out of five. Yesterday's melee at the White River ball orchard was annexed by Toledo, 6 to 2, when the Indians took off on a kite-flying outing in the ninth inning after one out. The Hoosiers came from behind in the seventh to tie the score at 2-all, but the strain was too great and Lloyd Johnson cracked in| the final stanza and the Hens chased four runners around the sacks to sew up the fracas.

Played Under Protest The game was played out under

came up in the Indians’ half of the seventh. Notice of the protest was sent to President George Traut-

today, Killefer said. Taylor opened the inning hy drawing a walk and advanced to second on Berger's single. Lewis lined a single to right, scoring Taylor and putting Berger on second. Latshaw attempted to sacrifice and popped a bunt to Third Baseman Clifton, who dropped the ball. Killefer claimed Clifton intentionally cuffed the ball down, which is against Association rules, according to. the Tribe chieftain. Clifton tried for Berger at sec-

stepped on the bag instead of tagging the runner, which forced Lewis, but relieved the force on Berger. Croucher relayed the sphere to Burns to retire Latshaw, who “forgot” to run. The rookie gummed

Berger Finally Scores

Had Latshaw ran to first only one out would have resulted, and that on Lewis. The umpires ruled it a double play, leaving Berger on

the tying run on Parker's single to center. The rally ended when Johnson poked a deep fly to Morgan in left. The arbiters believe Killefer is mistaken about the in-

play, but he’s going through with the protest’ anyway. Flea Clifton was poison to the Indians all afternoon. He socked a home run over the left field wall in the opening frame and it was the first round-tripper of the season at Perry Stadium. In the third he singled, reached base on an error and in the ninth the Flea launched the game-winning rally with a double. Johnson then lost control, hit Cullenbine with a pitched ball, | walked Coleman and threw wild to first on Burns’ infield hit. This combination of a hit and an error let two runs in and Emmett Nelson relieved Johnson on the Tribe mound. A d a ir immediately “squeezed” a third marker home and Croucher slammed out a. single to score a fourth. It was enough. George Coffman. last year with Beaumont, blanked the Indians for six innings. He goes by the name nf Slick and shut out Louisville with four hits last Friday. E. A.

TRIBE TO LEAVE ON FIRST TRIP TONIGHT,

Settle Down To Long Race

Several Heroes Feature First Big Day in 1937 Diamond Season.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 21.—With the promised land way off in October. the Major League clubs settled down today to win ball games in the 154- | game grind. Opening dav celebrations, with waving flags, marching bands and celebrities tossing the first ball in from a box seat, are over for eight clubs. The other eight clubs will stage their hometown openers Friday. : : Evidence that baseball is in for a big box-office year was furnished by yesterday's six openers, ahich drew a total of 181.076 persons. Last year’s eight opening day crowds totaled 204,543. This year’s average was 30,179 compared with 25,568 last year. The Detroit Tigers and Bosteon Red Sox rushed to the lead in the American League, supplanting -yesterday’s “early” leader, the: Philadelphia = Athletics. The Cardinals, Champion Giants, and Pirates won their openers to join the Phillies, a | double-winner Monday, as National League pacemakers. The big features of opening. .day

1. Cy Blanton's five-hit game which gave the Pirates a 5-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. 2. Dizzy Dean's masterful pitching with men on base which enabled the Cardinals to win a 10inning duel from Cincinnati, 2-0. 3. Gerald Walker's “grand slam” —homer, triple, double and single— which featured Detroit's 4-3 triumph over Cleveland. : 4. Al Simmons’ homer and two singles which gave Washington a 3-2 triumph over the World Champion Yankees. 5. Hal Schumacher’s five-hit performance which outdueled - Van Mungo and gave the Giants at 4-3 victory over Brooklyn. Tight Pitching Featured

Tight pitching figured in five of the six opening games. Three of them were decided by one run, two were shutouts and one went into extra innings. The Boston Red Sox, laying down a barrage of 18 hits, shelled the Athletics for the only lop-sided victory, 11 to 5. Wesley Ferrell was the Red Sox victorious pitcher. For the third successive year defeat clamped its clammy hands on Leity Gomez, Yankee southpaw. The Senators beat him, 3-2. Last year they beat him, 1-0. The year hefore the Red Sox beat him, 1-0. Monte Weaver, the old mathematics professor from the University of Virginia, played schoolmaster to the Yanks, who couldn't add up hits to runs. They made 10 hits. In the third inning they made four straight hits, but made only one run. In the seventh they made three hits and a walk, but failed to score. Lou Gehrig played in his 1809th game, connecting for two loubles and a single. Simmons | drove in two runs and started the winning rally. |

Detroit Drops Cleveland Detroit beat out Cleveland 4-3, when oid Goose Goslin, coming on to 37, beat Bad News Hale's throw | to the plate in the fourth inning | for the winning tally Eldon Auker | outhurled Mel Harder, who retired | for a pinch-hitter in the eighth. Auker gave up 8 hits. Blanton’s pitching and doubles by Paul Waner, Suhr and Brubaker, and a triple by Vaughan sent the | Pirates away with a 5-0 win over | the Cubs. Larry French, Cub pitch- | er, gave up 9 hits. The Cards beat the Reds in the | 10th, 2-0, on doubles by Medwick | and Mize. The Reds had 14 men | left on base. They collected 13 hits off Dean, including 4 doubles, but ! couldn't score. Peaches Davis was the losing hurler, allowing 9 hits. | Mancuso’s double, Whitehead’s'

LET'S GO FISHING

By G. H. D.

T= week-end returns ranged from sour to dandy. Some did, some didn’t, but the concensus is that results didn't live up to expec tations. George A. Littlenale was considerably surprised by a pound and one-half crappie, 14 Inches long. It attacked the black and white plug he intended for a bass. . Carl White, secretary of the Marion County Fish and Game Association, was fishing a small Shelby County stream on Saturday with Floyd Vangorder and Lowell Frazee. They found an elaborate fish trap anchored in the channel. They saw. their duty and they done it. There is no longer a fish trap at that spot. The farmer disapproved of their actions and wanted to argue, but what could he say? They caught no fish that day but Carl's virtue was rewarded on Sunday. With Norman Stewart and Al Jones he invaded Montgomery County and the trio took nine fine big mouths from a gravel pit, all on artificials. Garry Winders, Jim Flynn, Charley Brockman and Tom Hansen! wasted most of Sunday trying to find a small stream in shape for their casting efforts. Waters were not too muddy, but a couple of feet too high, they said, and two keepers, one each from Mill and Walnut, were all they ianded. |

2 ” 2 ” 4 n Jo WOOLY nailed the limit of crappies in Monon Creek. Eight of the largest weighed 12! pounds. That's the best sort of news to the Shafer and Freeman Lake addicts. Bon Aspy, Milch [Crist and Al Schneidenhelm gambled on the Barbees and lost, according to them. We think seven good bass isn’t a complete washout. Crappies were fairly active but bass weren't enthusiastic, they report. . : : Bon tells a story [that may tickle the angling memories of -oldtimers that used to infest the Barbees. It concerns a cottage on the channel between the big and little lakes. The dinning room was built out over the channel, with a large hole in the floor through which the garbage was disposed. : The | big catfish- liked this arrangement no end. They rallied saround. | The fishermen who used to make the cottage their head- . ‘quarters (it ‘was the old Killarney cottage, by the way) capitalized on the situation in the following .manner: When dinner was over and the scraps had been dumped through the hole in the floor, the poker game began around the table. Each player baited a large hook and dropped it through the hole. The lines were tied to toes or fingers. : Many a hot hand had to wait when somebody’s arm or leg would jerk and the cat was hauled up through the floor.

u 2 2 on 8

HAT'S what we call mixing fun with pleasure. As for us, we can fish or leave it alone. But we couldn't seem to leave it alone on Saturday. We joined the happy throngs along Fall Creek between the dam and Millersville. After a barren hour of flyfishing we borrowed a minnow from a gentleman and immediately had a fine run. But we forgot that bass are apt to take their time with minnows at this season, and we socked it too soon. That is as near as the fish editor has come to catching a fish this year, if the sordid truth be known. The gentleman who lent us the bait caught a nice redeye and a huge sunny on his minnows and the lady on the right took a bi redeye and a sucker en worms. Good, clean fun. :
