HE biggest ovation at the opening game in Yankee Stadium, New York, Tuesday, thundered through the spacious structure when a catch was made by a man who wasn’t even on the playing field. . . . In the fourth inning of the game between the Yanks and Senators a foul bounced off the grandstand and as it came down near the home dugout a large man in a box reached up and caught it. . . . And the mighty Babe Ruth, with a broad smile for all of the 50,000, put the ball in his pocket. . . . He was watching his old team play and the thousands remembered him as the hero of many opening games of the past.

And in spite of his fireball, he isn’t hard to hold, according to Frank Pytlak, Bob’s catcher. ... The Cubs are in a bad fix for pitching and Manager Grimm has just three starters he can depend on out of the six he had planned to open the season with. . .. The three are Larry French, Bill Lee and " Clyde Shoun, young southpaw. . . . Curt Davis is out with . a lame wing, Tex Carleton is out with an elbow injury and Roy Parmelee is too wild. . . .

tain on .the home season today at Swayne Field. The rivals split even in two tilts at Indianapolis and were rained out there yesterday. Vance Page was expected to be Manager Wade Killefer’s choice for Tribe mound duty this afternoon and with Johnny Riddle doing the catching for the Hoosiers. Pilot Haney of the local Flock was undecided on his mound selection, but indicated Paul Trout, last year with Indianapolis, probably would get the call.

At Home Next Thursday

The Indians are scheduled here through Saturday, after which they will visit Columbus for a round of four battles with the Red Birds. The Killeferites will return home next Thursday to meet the Louisville Colonels in a four-game series before leaving on a long Western trip. Games in the American Association today marked the second round of 1937 openers and the other aitractions were Louisville at ColumPaul and Kansas City at Minneapolis. Milwaukee, the defending champion, is setting the early pace with four victories and no defeats.

There’ll be, for instance, Spee Towns, the Georgia Grasshopper, who is the world champion hurdler, and Don Lash, the Indiana Express, who can run two miles faster than any man, and Eulace Peacock, Temple's Black Blast, who holds six detisions over Jesse Owens in 10 tussles.

Well, sir, after they got there their autos were stolen and the team’s treasurer was robbed of their $9.85 food money. But that’s not all... their anchor man, R. B.

Steele, however, insisted that after all their trouble, the boys go through with the formality of the race anyway. The first three Spartans raced into a lead and then passed the baton to Steele who hobbled around painfully on his bandaged leg to complete the circuit just so that the boys could say they had competed in the Penn Relays.

At Pennsylvania

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 22.— Fourteen Indiana University trackmen today were en route to Philadelphia, where they will bid {for titles in five relays and two individual events in the annual University of Pennsylvania Relays tomorrow and Saturday. Four of the Hoosier thinlies were bent on doing more than just coasting through with a victory. They are out after the world’s record in the four-mile relay and they are Don Lash, Tommy Deckard, James Smith and Mel Trutt. The present world’s record is 17:21.4, set in 1923 by the Illinois Athletic Club. Every member of the Hoosier quartet would have to run a

4:20 mile to beat the record. But all

the four runners are capable of doing much better than that. Trutt, the youngest and slowest of the quartet, has a record of 4:18. Besides the four-mile relay, the Hoosiers are to compete in the distance medley, 440-yard, 880-yard and mile relays, the 3000-meter steeplechase and the 120-yard high hurdles. Others making the trip to Philadelphia are Gunning, Collier, Elliott, Hicks, Stein, Gill, Miller, Richardson, Applegate and Neely.

Sprint Medley Expected to Bring Forth New Speed Record.

By United Press DES MOINES, Ia. April 22.—The 28th annual Drake Relays will get

| off to a flyin _ start tomorrow with

finals in seven events the opening day. : Seventy-two colleges and: uhivers sities in 20 states are entered in the meet, the most representative field in the history of the “Olympics. of the West.” In addition, 112 high schools, junior high schools and grade schools will participate. Finals will be held tomorrow in the two-mile run; university sprint medley relay, collegiate sprint medley relay, collegiate 880-yard relay, university distance medley relay, broad jump and discus throw. The university sprint medley, a new event this year, is expected to produce a new national collegiate record. The present mark of 3:27.4 is held by Northwestern. All teams entered in the event have been flirting with Northwestern’s mark. They are Ohio State, Texas, Iowa, Iowa State, Drake, Michigan State and St. Louis University. The university distance medley final also may produce a new record holder.

Always sportsmanship. Take, for instance, the time that Larry Shields, Penn State’s sturdy miler, accidentally bumped into Jim Connolly, Georgetown’s great star, and knocked Jimmy off stride. Shields high-stepped into a good lead, but he stopped dead in his tracks, waited for Connolly to catch up and then outraced him to the tape. Defeat would have been as glorious as victory that day. The 1933 meet had a touch of pathos. There was a bit of a depression in those days, you may remember, and the Michigan State
