THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1089 Leads Heavy Attack on

‘Stop Yanks’ Drive Aided By Showers

And That Reminds Williams Of Some Experiences He Had in Rain.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Speeial Writer NEW YORK, Aprii 20—The campaign to “stop the Yankees” has succeeded beyond expectations. The last time we looked they were practically drowned.

A month ago the farmers were praying for rain. Now the baseball magnates are cursing the rain. You can't please every-

body.

This has been a tough opener for the office boys. Burying sgrandmothers and digging ‘em up day after day isn’t a pleasant job.

The Dodgers are the only metropolitan team that has had an opener this season. They don’t know when to come in out of the rain, anyway.

One of Tex Rickard’s dreams was a glass enclosed stadium. When he tried to buy the Polo Grounds he had this in mind. He wasn't think-

ing so much of baseball as winter sports. To his mind it was an economical absurdity to use a big sports plant only half the time, With the baseball season ended he would promote ice shows, hockey and skating. Of course, there would be no postponements on account of weather at any time. Rickard was closer to buying the Polo Grounds than was generally realized but death vetoed the experiment.

This wouldn't have been the first glass enclosed stadium, though it would have been the largest. Tommy Burns, the old heavyweight, had one in Calgary, Alberta. The sides and the top rolled back. It was here that Luther McCarthy, best of the white hopes, was killed in the ring by Arthur Pelky. A punch on the jaw broke his neck as he turned to look to his corner in the first round.

When we suggested a glass cage for the vast Yankee Stadium to Mr. Edward Barrow yesterday he snapped, “You must as well try to do that with the Atlantic Ocean.” . . « Well, one of these days Billy Rose may try it, at that.

We have had seme unforgettable press box experiences. We saw Army play Notre Dame in a rain storm at Soldiers Field in Chicago one winter, and after the first: scrimmage ever man on the field looked like Amos and Andy. Nobody in the press box knew who was carrying the ball or making the tackles. We were doing the running detail and we gave up. We had Sally Rand, Gabby Hartnett, the four Marx brothers and an unidentified tourist from EImira doing all the work on the field. It was one of the most intelligent football pieces we ever did, at that.

The night Tunney fought Dempsev in Philadelphia we got to the press box early. We had to do what the shop calls a color story before the blood letting began. It started to rain just before the fighters put up their dukes and it rained from then on. Our telegraph! operator had to crawl under the ring to keep his “bug” alive so he could send. From the second round he saw none of the fight. Under the ring, using a flash light to illuminate his labors, all he got out of the remaining rounds was the dull thudding of the fighters’ foot work. Later, he said he hadn’t minded; he said he was a Dempsey man and he would have hated to see what happened . When we got up to go an hour or so after the fight we were soaked to the skin—and hanging over the back of our chair was a rain coat. We had forgot we had brought one. Maybe the fact we were a Dempsey man, too, had something to do with it.

Marott Shoes showed well with 3193 on games of 1083, 1062 and 1048 to wallop the Chasers, who registered 2794. Falls City had a high anchor game of 1083, which added with its first two tries of 1067 and 902, was good for 3052. In collecting his lofty total of 748 Fehr had an anchor game of 279 that he added to an opening 222 and a middle 247. Murphy opened strong with 258 and then never was able to approach it but finished with consistent games of 232 and 236 for a 726 total. All told the Indianapolis Leaguers captured 29 places on the list and the scores ranged from Fehr's 748 to the 601's of Frank Argus and Smith.

Bulldogs Give

Teachers ‘Lesson Butler trackmen gave the Indiana State Teachers a lesson in the theory of track yesterday when they

opened their ‘outdoor season here

with a romping 105-t0-26 victory over the Sycamores. Next opponent on the locals’ card will be Miami University who will put in an appearance here Saturday afternoon. Coach Ray Sears’ cindermen placed first in ‘every event yesterday and scored slams in the 220yard and 440-yard dash, and the discus throw to pile up the large number of points.

Skaters to Seek World Records

Skaters in the Indianapolis Roller Derby will concentrate their efforts on breaking world’s roller skating records at the Fieldhouse tonight,

but will not forget altogether the

race for honors in the series of games now in progress. The boys will take the track one at a time in an effort to set the best time over the quarter-mile dis-

tance in this meet as well as a new |

world’s mark in the same event. The New York team won its second straight game in as many nights to bring the count in games

to 10 to 8 for the Indianapolis|

Hoosiers. The New Yorkers nosed out the Indianapolis representatives, 13 ‘to 12. ,

THE INDIANAPOLIS ES Southport Crowds Its Guests Out of Laurels at Chilly Night Track Meet

By TOM OCHILTREE

It was & case of the host crowding the guests out of the best part of the turkey as Southport today retained possession of the largest and shiniest trophies purchased for its second annual high school re1ay. First major high school event of its kind this season, the meet was staged at Southport’s Roosevelt

made the boys’ track suits seem out of place as General Smedley Butler in a quiet zone. But despite the fact that they probably would have been a heap more comfortable in the ‘working clothes of an Eskimo traffic policeman, the 276 contestants from 15 schools ran, jumped and heaved with a will and were able to post new track records in the shotput, broad jump, high jump and mile relay. Gallant Southport’s margin of victory over a determined Manual team wasn’t as wide as the palm of your hand, and the story belongs to two events—the half-mile relay and the pole vault.

Fair Has It Tough

In the half-mile relay, one of the first events of the evening, both Manual and Southport were conceded to have the strongest teams. Leadoff runners of 10 schools broke to a good, fast start. Manual’s tragedy came when Bill Fair, the boy who was counted upon to keep the Indianapolis team up in front, hit a soft place on the track, slipped and fell. They don't come any gamer, though, and he scrambled to his feet and took out after the pack, making up a huge slice of the disadvantage. But the event finished in the following order: Southport, first; Crawfordsville, second; Manual, third, and Brazil, fourth. Manual, by virtue of its victory in the 100-yard football relay, a freak event in which the contestants run in football uniforms, was ahead 49% points to 46 for Southport with the last event, the pole vault, undecided. Southport still had a vaulter, a 17-year-old senior named Harold Miller, who had not been eliminated, in this attraction while Manual had no representative,

Miller Comes Through

If any of the other three contestants could have kept Miller out of first the Indianapolis school still could win. Higher and higher went the cross bar until it reached 11 feet, six inches—the highest that Miller had ever made and he was only able to do that once before. As he walked back to the end of the runway for his try, the lump in his throat made it look as though he were trying to swallow his fist. Running at top speed he hoisted himself up and straightened himself out as naturally as an eel in a water pipe to clear the bar. The

Stadium last night in weather that | yy

tried just as hard, but they couldn't make it. Ray Steffey, Bloomington, came the closest, but his vault wasn't dead center to the bar and he failed to clear it. Final team standings, figured on the basis of five points for first, three for second, two for third and one or fourth in the individual events and 10, six, four and two in the relays, are as follows:

Martin Double Winner

Abe Martin, Waldron, who remained in his civilian clothes ‘until the going ‘was stepped up, figured in two of the events in which track records were broken. He won the broad jump at 20 feet, 56% inches. The old mark was 19 feet, 8 inches. In the high jump he and Bob Mitchell, Bloomington, finished in a tie for first when both made 5 feet 8 inches, which compares with the former record of 5-2.

The cold weather didn't seem to bother Fred Huff, Bloomington, any when he tossed the shot 45 feet, 10 inches, and his heave was 3% feet better than the old mark. Anderson’s team of Richardson, Hovermale, Scharnowske and Yates set a new figure of 3:40.7 in the mile relay as compared with the old mark of 3:414, A glance at the summary shows Southport’s splendid record since the Cardinals accounted for six firsts in either team or individual events. It was a happy evening for the six boy trumpeters who summoned the winners to the court of Kathryn Hopwood, the relay queen, although

lit might be said that if the cold

weather wasn’t responsible for sticking one of the valves on one of the horns, the player must have acquired a keen sense of swing music. As for Miss Hopwood and her gracious court of Angela Parudise, Alberta Krohne and Polly Jane Murphy, they thought the show was excellent, but one of them said that next time she thought it might be more comfortable to be queen of the May.
