SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

IT DOESN'T MAKE sense but can’t you read the gcoreboard? . . . On Saturday the Minneapolis Millers gwamped the Louisville Colonels, 18 to 2 . . . Although the Colonels felt crestfallen over that drubbing they didn’t lose courage and look what happened yesterday! Louisville bumped off the Millers in their own band-

box park in both ends of a double-header.

+ Baseball is that way . . . Forget the past, point for the future and let the base hits fall where they may . . . Indianapolis is to get its first glimpse of the 1941 Colonels in the night ball opener at Perry Stadium Wednesday . . . Fireworks display at 8 p. m. and the ball game at 8:30 . . . It will be “ladies’ night,” too, free 0 feminine fans with or without escort, “free” meaning the usual tax and service charge. Bill Burwell, the Sweet William of days gone by with the Indians, who guided the Colonels to the last two American Association playoff titles, is again at their helm and his team is just one-half game back of the Kansas City leaders . . . And the Indians, running sixth, are just two games behind the second-place Kentuckians. The series coming up, therefore, is expected to supply enough thrills to go around . . . Steel Arm Starr probably will receive the Tribe mound assignment Wednesday night . . . He defeated St. Paul Saturday and saved another tilt for the Redskins yesterday by working in the relief role. ‘ The Indians’ next home stand will consist of three series, with Louisville first, then with Columbus and Toledo . . . Tribe competition so far has been against Western clubs only and the record reads 10 victories, 11 defeats and one tie . . . The Redskins have an open date tomorrow and will roll in from St. Paul at 1:45 p. m.

Sivess, G. Wade, Castle Off Active List

INDIANAPOLIS’ INDIANS met the requirements of the Amerjean Association's official player limit of 20 by removing three players from the active list over the week-end . . . till with the team and on the payroll but temporarily ineligible for action are Pitchers Pete Sivess and Jake Wade and Outfielder Carmel Castle. After the Tribesters come in off the road tomorrow afternoon, General Manager Leo Miller and Field Manager Wade Killefer will go into a huddle to decide upon the “official 20” . . . Any of the three pastimers now off the active list can be® restored to duty in the event the Tribe chiefs change their minds on present eligibles. The Tribe directors also are going on the theory that “maybe” theyll get lucky and receive additional talent when the major league clubs cut their rosters to the “official 25” . The big leaguers have until Wednesday midnight to meet their player limit. 2 5 ” # 8 n SINCE THE PURCHASE of Pitcher Lee Ross, the White Sox now half a half dozen former Philadelphia Athletics . . . The others are Ed Smith, Bill Dietrich, Dario Lodigiani, Coach Mule Haas and the manager himself, Jimmie Dykes . . . Next thing Connie Mack will be accused of running a White Sox farm club. There are few baseball players of Holland Dutch strain . . . but the White Sox now have two—Bill Knickerbocker and Myril Hoag « . . Incidentally, the latter's name is pronounced “Hoyg.” " n = = = = = Local Fan Has Photo-Finish Box Score ED KEPNER, well-known local authority on baseball who will be master of ceremonies at the “baseball luncheon” at the Indianapolis Athletic Club Wednesday noon, recently was cited by Sporting News, the national baseball weekly, for digging up a photo-finish box score. In a recent issue, Sporting News said: “One of the most evenly matched games in the history of baseball, with the totals for both teams being virtually the same throughout, is produced by E. F. Kepner, 5735 Guilford Ave. Indianapolis, a fan who has a record of the game in his scrapbook.

» = ” 8 2 8 “IT WAS THE second game of a double-header, Aug. 13, 1910, between Pittsburgh and Brooklyn, ended by darkness with the score 8-8 . . . Each team had 38 at bats, eight runs, 13 hits, 27-putouts, 12 assists and two errors; each used two pitchers and one player at each of the other positions “The only variation was that Burch was used by Brooklyn as a pinch-runner for Lennox in the ninth inning, thus giving Brooklyn : total of 11 players in the box score, as compared to Pittsburgh’s en. “The remarkable similarity of totals was checked and verified by Sporting News from the official records.”

Art Sparks Has Whiz-Wagon To Challenge Shaw and Mays

Unable to Tune Car Up for 1940 But It Still Holds the Track Record

This is the swift six-cylinder car entered by Art Sparks, Joe Thorne’s mechanician.

Butler Trackmen Take Lacing

Oscar Hiilring won the shot put with a toss of 41 feet 4 inches, and Morris Nahmias capred the half-mile event in 1:57 Butler,

Local Semi-Pros Win and Lose

Indianapolis teams in the Indi-ana-Ohio semi-pro baseball league won and lost over the week-end, the Firemen blanking the Ushcos at Frankfort, 19-0, and the Kautskys dropping a 7-1 decision to the Citizens at Muncie. The Firemen produced its 19 runs from 18 hits and climaxed the assault with a 12-run parade in the ninth inning. Twigg limited the hosts to seven safeties and kept these scattered. A run in the first, two in the second and three in the third put the Citizens away to a good start and the Kautskys could push over only one marker in the second. Bobby Katz, the Citizens’ right hander, allowed five hits, while Arnold Grine and Sammy Shively worked on the hill for the losers.

IN AND ABOUT GASOLINE ALLEY ...

60 minutes, the pair will go it for two out of three with no time limit, it being the first time this season that such a match has been staged here. “And Buck appears in dead earnest about leaving the game if he gets beaten,” Carter said. Weaver insists his one-fall loss to Frankie last Tuesday was purely a case of a “quick count.” Talaber, hailing from Chicago, is a son of Lou Talaber, one-time middleweight champion who is now in recreation work in the Windy City. Frankie has sailed high in Armory bouts, beating Billy Thom, Stacey Hall and Weaver. A tussle between Jim McMillen and Louis Thesz, originally carded for tomorrow, has been changed to a later date. Two other bouts will be offered.

Dick Bartell Now

A Job-Hunter

CHICAGO, May 12 (U. P.). —Diek| Bartell, shortstop for the Detroit Tigers and four other major league teams during the past 14 years, joined the ranks of the job-hunters today. Bartell, 33, was given his outright release by the Tigers at the close of yesterday’s game against the White Sox. He was waived out of the National Ireague in 1939. Although he was credited with a major part in Detroit's 1940 pennant-winning campaign, Bartell had made only two hits out of a dozen times at bat in the five games he played this year, He batted .233 in 1940. The Tigers got Bartell from the Chicago Cubs in an even trade for Infielder Bill Rogell in 1939. Before his year with the Cubs, he had played with New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in the National League.

Reds Set Down With Only Three Singles

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 12.—The Brooklyn Dodgers, whose spring spurt has baseball fans ga-ga from coast to coast as well as in Flatbush, were riding the rails today, heading into the west to carry their pennant drive right into the teeth of the World Champion Cincinnati Reds and the slam-

bang St. Louis Cardinals. The* Reds and the Cards are the two the Dodgers have to lasso ®»

protect their lease on first place in the National League. Thus far the Dodgers have outplayed every club in the majors, and currently have won 16 out of their last 18 games.

Jeffra Seeks ” Fight Titles

WASHINGTON, May 12 (U. P.) .— Harry Jeffra of Baltimore and Joey Archibald of Providence, R. I, who helped to confuse the featherweight championship picture, get a crack at clarifying it. tonight. They meet at Griffith Stadium in a 15-round bout that is calculated to be the semi-final step in restoring order to the 126-pound division, which has two champions where only one sprouted before. Jeffra is one of the twin-title-holders. He holds the New YorkCalifornia - Pennsylvania - Maryland version. That's the one that'll be at stake tonight, Petey Scalzo is the other. By the grace of the National Boxing Association, he is recognized in 43 N. B. A.-affiliated states as the champ. : Now, the N. B. A. has ordered Scalzo to meet the winner of the Jeflra-Archibald fight for the undisputed title, whose last proprietor was Archibald himself. The N. B.
