Open Against Grimm’s Boys In Milwaukee

Exchanged Shutouts With Saints Yesterday

Times Special MILWAUKEE, May 6. — The series has been steamed up in Brewerytown since. the opening of the season was in the laps of Milwaukee fans today and it will eontinge through Friday. Presenting Gabby Hartnett’s third-place Inflians vs. Charlie Grimm's league-leading Brewers. These skippers were under the big top together with the Chicago Cubs and both are former Bruin pilots. It’s their first meeting in the American association ‘and Milwaukee fans are looking forward to some red hot entertainment as the old Cub mates match strategy from opposite dugouts. : Hartnett’s first visit here received a big advance play and baseball interest was running high around the city’s sports spots. Like Mike and Ike, Gabby and Jolly Cholly are alike when it comes to making themselves heard all over the ball park.

Stick on .500 Beam

The Indians still were riding the .500 beam when they rolled into the Cream city from St. Paul with nine games won and nine lost. The Redskins split 4 double-header with the Saints at St. Paul yesterday, and that was their Twin Cities record,

-|a split at Minneapolis in two games,

a split at St. Paul in two. The Tribesters and Apostles exchanged shutouts yesterday. Hartnett’s hirelings won the, first half,

five blows. And he had ’em handcuffed until after two down in the seventh. First hit of him was a triple and the runner died on base. The victory won Rachunok the dis-

moundsman to pitch a shutout. Johnny Doubles, Joe Singles

Vedie Himsl also turned in a neat job of pitching for St. Paul and held the Redskins to six hits. The Indians’ lone marker was plated in the second stanza on a double by Johnny McCarthy and Joe Bestudik’s single. Later in the fracas

with two blows. The Indians would like to forget that second tiff at St. Paul yesterday. The Apostles staged a six-run splurge in the first inning at the

mates. the field and in no time at all they |8 were hopelessly out of the running. | Three errors occurred behind Hildebrand in that wild opening stanza and he never had a chance. It was his best pitching in four starts this season but it was offset by the Indians’ erratic fielding and weak hitting.

Swift in Complete Charge

Bill Swift, veteran righthander, put the halter on the Indians’ power by holding them to four safeties in the seven rounds, while the Saints stacked up 10 off Hildebrand and Glen Fletcher. Hildebrand stepped aside for a pinch hitter after toiling four rounds and Fletcher*was clawed for three runs in the sixth. It was Hildebrand’s fourth start and fourth defeat this season. He was with the Saints this time last season. With only 10 hits chalked. in yesterday’s two games, the batting averages of some of the Indians nosedived. Now they hope to pick up lost points at the expense of the Brewers, who are quite haughty with 14 games won and only five lost.

Practice Trap

By BYRON NELSON Master of the Masters When Mr. Average Golfer gets into a sand trap, two catastrophies occur. First, he gets a sinking sensation in his stomach and tightens up. Second, he forgets the proper mechanics and goes

correct form for shoveling. Why a sand trap should cause

such a mental hazard as to make a man dig at sand instead of hit through the ball is a mystery. I think the answer is that too few take the time to practice shooting out of traps. They simply pray they never: will get into one. If they would spend a few hours a week practicing these shots, they would soon become commonplace. Draw an imaginary four-inch circle around the ball. Hit into the center of the circle, through the ball. Keep the hands firm. Forget digging. Think of hitting the ball. Set yourself firmly in the sand. Use an open stance so you can

Two exponents of the “Indian deathlock” hold clashed at the armory last night in the feature attraction of a four-event wrestling bill and Chief Little Wolf, Navajo

Indian, triumphed over Orville Brown, 248-pound Kansas giant, in a bout that went three falls before a winner was declared. Brown drew first blood in 20 minutes with a flying tackle and press. The Chief annexed the next two falls by taking the second in nine minutes with a body slam and press and the final tussle in 10 minutes with the “deathlock” hold. Ali Pasha kept his local undefeated record clear by trouncing Prince Alaki, Persian junior heavyweight, in 19 minutes. Pasha employed his “cobra hold” to win the match. In other bouts Vic Holbrook, Boston heavyweight, downed Jack Hill of Cleveland, O., in 21 minutes with a grapevine hold, and Dave Reynolds, junior heavy from Boise, Ida., flopped Joe Wolf, Toledo, in 14 minutes with a back leg split.

famous stake at old Pimlico, May 9. The reason for this is. that the Baltimore strip with the hairpin turns and long straightaway is faster than it has been ‘in some years. ae

Swept Everything

Track records are being popped off right and left. * High Quest gave the 3-year-olds 1:58 1-5 at which to shoot in 1934, and there is an interesting story ih that connection. That was the year in which the Brookmeads stable of Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloan swept everything in sight with Cavalcade and High Quest, which Whistling Bob Smith picked up at bargain basement prices at the Saratoga sales, and other smart performers. Bobby Jones was sent out to run the early footers into the groumd for the great Cavalcade, which had the late Mark Garner on his back. But when Jockey Jones got within striking distance and saw no Cavalcade around, he went on to take the long end. Young Jones was so afraid that he had done something wrong that he caught the first train for New York, not wishing to get within talking distance of Smith until the latter cooled off.

Arcaro Fooled?

Smith had nothing but congratulations to offer, of course, for with Discovery, which turned out to be a fair sort, it was no time to be choosy. . It. was Devil Diver's turn to fool Eddie Arcaro in the Kentucky derby. Arcaro picked Shut Out over Devil Diver in the Hopeful at Saratoga last August, only to be beaten by two lengths by the son of St. Germans, with Jockey Skelly on his back. Maj. Louie A. Beard, in charge of the Whitney racing interests, frankly criticizes Arcaro’s ride on Devil Diver at Churchill Downs,

Preakness Suits Diver

It is likely that Devil Diver needed a race. He had been out only once this year, when he beat Whirlaway, by a head; and Sun Again in six furlongs of mud at Keeneland. The cut above his ankle retarded workouts, Devil Diver will be more fit and should be more settled in the Preakness. Also the Preskness distance may suit him better than the mile and a quarter of the derby. He may not be as durable as Shut Out, but Major Beard says he will do everything more readily than the son of
