LEADERS

SEMIPRO baseball umpires are going to school in an effort to improve the standard of officiating in semipro ranks, Raymond Dumont, president of the National Semipro Baseball Congress, announced today at Wichita, Kas. Ollie Anderson of North Hollywood, Cal, will direct the schools which will be held in the 48 cities where state semipro tournaments are scheduled for July.... Each school will last three days. The leading umpires, Dumont said, will be certified to officiate in the 1939 district and state tournaments. “Semipro baseball cannot expect to reach new heights unless the umpiring is improved consistently with the playing,” Dumont explained. “The incentive offered by the Congress in deciding a national championship through a series of tournaments has improved play in the sandlots during the past two years, but the officiating has been no better. . . . That is the reason for the series of training schools for the um-

pires.”

& & 4 EMBERS of the Indianapolis Umpires’ Association are a step ahead of the Mr. Dumont. . . . The local group has been organized several years and is one of the most efficient in amateur and independent baseball. . . . Games on city park diamonds usually are well officiated and well conducted, due to the training the arbiters have received. . . . They hold regular meetings to discuss Knotty problems, and the rule book is their Bible. Carl McCleaster, a member of the I. U. A, has been appointed American Association emergency umpire for this territory by George

M. Trautman, president of the league. .

. . In other words, McCleaster

is the “backstop” to be called to duty at Perry Stadium at times when a regular A. A. official becomes ill or disabled.

MAJORS LAUNCH INTERSECTIONAL STRIFE

East, West in First Test of '38 Campaign

‘Pennant Dope to Be Clearer After Teams Battle For Two Weeks.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 3-—The big test of who's who and what's what in the major leagues opens today with the first intersectional games between Bast and West. From today through May 12 the western American League clubs will be playing in the East and the eastern National League clubs will be campaigning in the West. When the first intersectionals are over the pennant picture will be somewhat clearer. There'll be some definite evidence to apply to these questions: 1. Are the Giants going to make a runaway of the National League race? 9. Have the St. Louis Cardinals deteriorated into a second division club? 3. Can the Cleveland Indians keep up their fine start and sweep through the East? 4 Are the New York Yankees finally cracking up? 5. Can the Detroit Tigers find themselves and climb out of sixth place? The Giants are winging away in front with 12 out of 13, including 11 straight, but look who they've been pushing around—the Bees, Dodgers and Phillies, all second division clubs. The Terrymen are certain to find the going tougher in the West. The Cleveland Indians, who've been tearing down the fences in the West, will find somewhat stronger opposition in New York, Washington and Boston. Especially in the Yankee Stadium, where they've won only two games out of 22 games the past two years. .

Cleveland Scores 10 Runs in Fourth

NEW YORK, May 3 (U. P.) —The Cleveland Indians clubbed their way to a 11-3 triumph over the Tigers yesterday, scoring 10 runs in the fourth inning. Earl Averill's

homer with Solters on base startea this rally. Johnny Allen held the Tigers to seven hits. Bill Dickey's double in the fifth drove in the run by which the Yankees trimmed Washington, 3-2. Johnny Murphy had to come to Monte Pearson's rescue in the eighth to save the game, Joe DiMaggio hit homer No. 2. Shelling three pitchers for 16 hits, the Boston Red Sox pummelled the Athletics, 13-1. Gene Desautels had a perfect day, “4 for 4” and Ben Chapman and Joe Vosmik got three hits apiece. Pinky Higgins tied a major league record by committing four errors at third base, but scored three runs and made two hits to atone for them, Cliff Melton survived a stormy eighth to pitch the New York Gants to their 11th straight triumph at the expense of Brooklyn, 7-4. It was Melton's fourth straight win. The Giants continued their long-dis-tance clouting with Ripple, Lieber and Jo-Jo Moore hiting homers. They've now hit 18 homers in 13 games. Ripple was felled by one of Buck Marrow's pitches in the eighth but after being carried off the field was pronounced only slightly injured. Joe Medwick's homer with Slaughter on base was the big punch which enabled the St. Louis Cardinals to beat the Cubs, 6-3. All the Cubs’ runs off Lon Warneke were homers, two by Rip Collins and one by Frank Demaree, Cincinnati made it three in a row over the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning 8-6. The Reds flayed Cy Blanton for seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. Ray Benge, who went to Johnny Van Dermeer’s rescue in the ninth, halted a four-run rally. Ival Goodman hit two homers, giving him the major league lead with five.

Yesterday's Hero--Joe Medwick, Cards’ outfielder, whose first homer of the season enabled his club to break a 3-3 tie and throttle the Cubs, 6-3.

Whitehead Is Out

CINCINNATI, May 3 (U. P.).— Second Baseman Burgess Whitehead will be lost to the National League leading New York Giants for the remainder of the season, Manager Bill Terry announced today.

He will return to his home at Lewiston, N. C., late this week. His second base position has been filled by Lou Chiozza.

ATHLETICS TAKE ON COAST COLLEGE ACE

PHILADELPHIA, May 3 (U. P). —Signing of Sam Chapman, University of California All-America halfback and third baseman and outfielder for the Golden Bears, was announced by the Philadelphia Athletics. Vice President Roy Mack said Chapman would join the team at Cleveland May 16.

Redskins and Millers Clash In3 Contests

Johnson Due on Mound for Tribe at Minneapolis In Series First.

(Editorial, Page 10)

Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, May 3.—What local fans judge as a stirring series was to open at Nicollet Park this afternoon when the second-place Indianapolis Indians unpacked their bats for a three-game melee with Ownie Bush's third-place Millers. The Redskins knocked off the

Minneapolis maulers three straight at Indianapolis and Manager Bush still is a bit upset about it. For that reason the Millers are determined to even the score with the Schalk= men and have tuned their artillery with a grand slam in mind. The Indians are none the less confident, however, and believe the open date yesterday served like a bracer for the pitching staff. Lloyd Johnson, lefthander, was due to handle the Tribe hurling this after= noon with Buddy Lewis back of the plate. ’ Indianapolis has won six games in nine starts from the Twin Cities clubs and baseball followers in this section are looking forward to fire works in abundance as the Hoosiers and Millers collide for the sece ond time this season. By winning today the Indians can regain the league lead if Co=lumbus subdues the Blues at Kan= sas City. The Redskins are a half game back of the Blues and a full game ahead of the Millers.

Butler Nine in Pair of Tussles

Butler University's baseball team, victorious in four of five starts, will take on two foes this week. Tomorrow the Bulldogs play Ine diana Central on the latter's diamond.

Friday afternoon, the Butler diamondmen will journey to Craw= fordsville to take on Wabash, Butler's track athletes also are scheduled to see action this Saturday when they invade Kalamazoo for a meet with Western State, The Wolverine thinly clads chalked up an indoor triumph over Butler earlier in the year. Butler's coachless tennis squad will engage in two matches this week-end. The Bulldog racquet wielders will play a return match with Earlham College, there, Frie day, and then return home to ene tertain Purdue the following aftere noon in the Butler Fieldhouse.
