The Tribesters have not seen acsince Sunday, when they dropped a double-header to the Brewers in Milwaukee, and the three-day vacation struck the :lub bankroll a heavy blow, what with everything going out and nothing coming in. In the delayed series opener at Nicolette Park this afternoon, Ray Starr was nominated to handle the Tribe pitching and Chief Hogsett was expected to receive the Minneapolis mound assignment. After tomorrow the Indians will move over to St. Paul to battle the Saints in four games, one Saturday, two Sunday and one Monday.

This time it was still lighter, so Duray sent for what he thought, was 45 pounds of sheet lead. Again the scales had its fun— the lead weighing only 36 pounds.

Track Is Wet

For Preakness

BALTIMORE, Md, May 8 (U.P). —It was the same old story today— probably rain and possibly a muddy track for the Preakness. For the past four years rain has haunted the favorite in the running of the Preakness and the 51st renewal of the $50,000 stake on Saturday apparently will be no exception. A light, but steady rain was falling this morning, meaning a slow or muddy track this afternoon, and, unless the rain is followed by lots of hot sunshine, offfooting for the big race. The gloomy forecast shooed enthusiasm out of the Calumet Farm Stable as Trainer Ben Jones gave Whirlaway a final stiff workout before easing him off for the mile and one-sixteenth gallop which can all but assure him the 3-year-old crown of 1941. Although he boasts recognition as a superior mudder, Whirlaway has been beaten the worst when the going is slippery and soft —and Saturday may see him beaten again, despite all he did in the Derby. :

1941 I. U. Varsity

Swamps Seniors

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, May 8 (U. P.) —Candidates for the 19841 Indiana University varsity grid team,

1940 squad, 37 to 6, yesterday in a game played as part of Indiana's 121st Foundation Day program. Approximately 2500 students and alumni watched Freshman Bill Hillenbrand score one of the varsity’s five touchdowns and pass for two others, and Bob Mulroe function on the receiving end of one of them. Sophomore Dale Swihart was the varsity big gun, however, scoring one touchdown on a 35-yard sweep and gathering in passes for two more. Varsity scoring was complete with a safety in the first period. Handicapped by a rusty pass defense, seniors finally moved late in the final period, climaxing a 75yard drive when Jolting Joe Tofil plunged over for a marker on the final play of the game.
