LAINNEAPOLIS has announced it will install lights at

* Nicollet Park for night ball this season and nocturnal games will be played twice a week beginning in June. . .. St. Paul quickly fell in line for the ares when the Millers acted and now the entire American Association will pastime under the moon when suitable weather rolls around. » « a Between $20,000 and $25,000 will be expended by President Mike Kelley of the Millers in setting up the

equipment to turn night into

day... . He was opposed to

night baseball ever since it was introduced into the league in 1930 by Indianapolis, but had to go for it in self defense. « » « Many baseball observers believe the night game will be general in the big leagues within the next two years with

no restriction on the number o ” o

of games.

FRED FITZSIMMONS, the old Hoosier slab star, refuses to wear out. . . . All he did yesterday was to pitch a five-hit shutout, hit a home run, double and single. . . .

That’s pretty good at 35. . .

High School, Fitzsimmons was developed by the Indian- | apolis club and sold to the New York Giants in 1925, . . .

He was scouted by Johnny E

best investments ever made by the Giants. . .. Paul Trout hung it on the Red Birds at Columbus for his No. 2 victory of the season. . .. Morton Cooper, who has defeated Indianapolis twice, failed to last against the Mud Hens.

Jack Hunt Turns in 709 ~ For City Tenpin Honors

By BERNARD HARMON

Jack Hunt had another 700 series to his credit

being a 709 that topped city rivals

today, 1s latest

in last night's league play. The big

series was rolled in the weekly session of the Printcraft League at the

Pritchett Alleys.

A string of strikes in his middle game netted Hunt a 279, which,

flanked with 214 and 215, gave him the big total.

He was in action

with the Rolles Printing team, which won twice over Quality Flowers, who had two men in the 600s, George Vale with 610 and Harold Deal

with 607. Jack Colvin’s 653 and Ken Koelling’s 609 gave Bingham Rollers enough edge to annex two victories at the expense of Indianapolis Star, which had Owen Fancher's 630 as its feature solo count. No honor totals developed in the other team clashes. Maurice Price found the range in his L. 8S. Ayres & Co. appearance at the Pritchett Alleys, posting a 660 that was high three-game total of the season in that loop. He used games of 225, 192 and 243 for the record, which boosted his Stokol five to a shutout victory over Mendel Luggage. The remaining team contests were decided over the two-one route, Dr. Scholl, Estate Ranges, Phoenix Hose, Kuppenheimer Clothes and Matrix Shoes gaining the edges. Four 600s in Infermediate

Four pastimers of the Intermediate League, rolling at the Uptown Alleys, posted honor counts. Lee topped the quartet with a 658 from games of 253, 202 and 203. Kelley had 617 and Goldsmith and Beaver, 602s. Al Schonecker again outscored

session at the Illinois Alleys. He combined his three games for a total of 657. : Harold Rohr and Waldo Mindach were the E. C. Atkins & Co, League’s heavy hitters. The former turned in a 641 to take honors of the evening, while Mindach posted a 607 for the runnerup berth. The circuit was in action at the Pennsylvania Alleys. Nine individuals passed the 600 mark in the Universal League's final games of the season at the Pritchett Alleys. Rogers nabbed the honors with a 639. Others to top the mark were C. Smith with 615, Danna with 614, Johnson with 614, Langbein with 613, Howe with 608, G. Smith with 608, Wolf with 605 and Fulle with 602. : : ‘Dutch Master Cigars finished first jn the team standings and Russet Cafeteria ran second. Dick Nord-

-holt topped the individual average

list with a 195, but he was closely

\ pressed by Colin Fulle and Bob Hughes, who wound up the season | with 194s

194s. In the Elks League matches at

| tHe Antlers Alleys, Ed Stark and ! Henry Bunch turned in the out-

series. The

standing individual

| former had a 637 and Bunch 632.

- Four 600 series resulted in the

\ Link Belt loop’s clashes at the

Pennsylvania Alleys. Kruwell topped the quartet with a 630, Wolf had

624, Bennett, 606 and Hartson 603. Two pastimers used totals of 610 to lead their respective lcagues. Stuart posted that total in the Parkway Recreation at the Parkway Alleys, while Bozic took Hornady Milk honors at the Illinois with his 610. : Mark Kestler collected 244 pins in his middle game of the East Side Social loop’s matches at the Central, the big count boosting him to a 606 total that was easily good for honors over his rivals. Riggin’s 602 in the Alpha League games at the Fountain Square completed the evening's list of 600 shooters.

A. B. C. Tourney Nearing End

By United Press

NEW YORK, April 30.—Only five days and four nights remained -on the 1937 American Bowling Congress tournament schedule today as Eastern teams started their final assault upon present scores. On the remaining schedule there are 247 five-man teams, 496 double teams and 1002 individuals. Their scores will determine whether the present leaders will be the 1937 champions, Those in the top positions today were the Krakows of Detroit in the five-man event; Virgil Gibbs of Kansas City and Nelson Burton of Dallas in the twoman event; Gene Gagliadi of Mount Vernon, N. Y., in the singles, and Max Stein of Belleville, Ill, in the all-events. Except for Stein, all the present leaders have held their positions for the longest period of any previous A. B. C. tourney. Stein won his position this week. Fifty-six teams from New York and New Jersey will bowl tonight. Most of them are “regular” teams, a few are “boosters.” Last night's scores were mediocre. the best team total being that of the Democrat Club of West New York, N. J, a 2937.

Relay Quartet To Run Again

Watson, Wolverine Ace, Expected to Dominate Field Events.

‘Times Special BLOOMINGTON, April 30.—Riding on the crest of the wave of fame it established in the recent Kansas and Penn Relays, the Indiana University track team will leave today to open its Big Ten dual meet season ' against the University of Michigan tomorrow at Ann Arbor. Approximately 22 men will make the trip. Michigan is rated as the topnotchh dual meet team in the country and so the Wolverines reign as heavy favorites to win tomorrow's meet. Michigan recently defeated the strong University of California team, 82'z to 491s. Michigan officials said today that they expected the largest crowd ever to view a dual meet at Ann Arbor to jam into the stadium to watch the Hoosiers tomorrow. Watson Outstanding Watson, the Wolverine field star, is practically conceded victories in the shotput, discus throw, high Jump and broad jump, and should prove to be the high point man of the meet. Capt. Bob Osgood is tops in the hurdle races and Sam Stoller should prove unbeatable in the 100yard dash. But although Indiana is lacking in the team balance it would take to forecast a victory over Michigan, the Hoosiers feel pretty confident of their winning the distance races.

and Tommy Deckard, the team which broke the world’s four-mile relay record at the Penn Relays, will be back on the cinders tomorrow.

Hoosier Baseball Team Plays Purdue

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, April 30. Coach Everett Dean's Indiana Universily baseball team will open up

old rival Purdue at Lafayette today. It will be the first of a four-game Series.’ The team will spend the night in Lafayette and will play another game at Purdue tomorrow afternoon before returning home. Coach Dean said that Babe Hosler, Bob Adler and Louis Greiger would handle the pitching duties,

Bulldogs Tackle Greyhound Nine

Coach Tony Hinkle's Butler haseball team will face a heavy weekend with games scheduled today and tomorrow. Today the Hinkle-

men will be host to the Indiana Central Greyhounds for the first time this season. Tomorrow thev will journey to Richmond and play a double-header with Earlham. Each year the Bulldogs and the Greyhounds play a four-game series. Last season: the Butler nine won three of the four contests. The second game between the two schools will be played on May 4 when the Indiana Central nine again returns to the Butler diamond. Earlham was not on the Bulldog schedule last year. Norval Corbett, junior hurler, will probably be on the mound against

ing over tomorrow afternoon in the first Earlham game and Corbett pitching the second. Hinkle will use the same nine that has started the past games with the exception of Andy Boa, shortstop, who has been replaced by Silvio Constantino, a sophomore.

Davis Cup Play Begins

By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, April 30. — A United States team that admittedly was not quite ready for serious competition, and an earnest trio of little Japanese began competition for tennisdom's major trophy, the Davis Cup, in this rabid tennis center today. It was the first time in tennis his tory that the city which produced flaming Maurice McLaughlin and Billy Johnson, the little wizard of another decade, was privileged to witness a cup match. The winner of the three-day series between the United States and Japan will meet the winner of the Australia-Mexico tie, being played simultaneously in Mexico City, for the right to meet the European zone champion, The San Francisco macches, today, Saturday and Sunday, will be played on new Grasstex courts of the Olympic Club at Lakeside. The players who have tried the new asphalt-like playing surface say the ball flies faster and the court has more “bounce.” Don Budge, the red-haired No. 1

4-Game Series

Vance Page Due as Tribe Chucker Against Louisville; Bargain Attraction Scheduled Sunday.

With Vance Page nominated to occupy

the firing rubber, the

Indians were scheduled to return to action today against the Louis= ville Colonels in the opener of a four-game series on the home field. Single tilts are on the docket for this afternoon and tomorrow and a

double-header Sunday.

The Redskins will depart on their first Western trip after the .Sabbath bargain attraction and remain on the road until May 14, when they are scheduled to battle the New York Yankees in an exhibition at Perry Stadium. Kansas City will be the Tribe’s initial stop in the West and the series with the Blues will begin on Tuesday, Monday being an off day. As the first division of the American Association race stacks up now, both sections of the circuit are represented. Milwaukee, the defending champion, is on the top perch, Indianapolis and Louisville are tied for second and Minneapolis is next in line. The champion Brewers have done a fancy job bolstering their forces after losing several key pastimers from the 1936 all-star aggregation. Only one game was played in the A. A. yesterday and it was at Columbus, where Toledo beat the Red Birds. FEarly postponements are costing the magnates large chunks of coin and the summer season is going to be loaded with twin bills all over the loop. The Indians-Colonels combat here today was to start at 2:30 and it was ‘ladies’ day” at the Stadium. The contest tomorrow also will get under way at 2:30.
