Hartnett Has Caught All Games In Tribe's Winning Streak

THE two-mile run in the central collegiate track meet tomorrow night in Marquette university stadium, Milwaukee, undoubtedly will be one of the features of the annual games and is expected to decide the midwest

championship in that event. Fourteen men now are entered in the two-mile, among them Farl Mitchell, Indiana; Ollie Hunter, Notre Dame; Virgil Alston, Miami (O.) university; Clarence Dunn, Illinois; Floyd Foslien, Minnesota, and Elford Pedler, Western Michigan. . . . These are the standouts, but there's always a chance of a darkhorse coming through in a long race. Mitchell should come down in front as the winner. . . . The Hoosier ran two miles in the Indiana state meet at Purdue in 9:13.1. . . . Hunter of Notre Dame made it at Lafayette in 9:16... . Alston of Miami defeated Hunter in the two-mile at the Drake relays in 9:253 after making up a lot of ground. . . . He caught Hunter at the tape. Dunn of Illinois finished behind Mitchell in the Big Ten twomile and Foslien of Minnesota was third. . . . Pedler of Western Michigan is Michigan state champion in the two-mile and finished second in the central collegiate indoor two-mile, Collegiate track followers are picking Mitchell and Hunter to fight it out and with the former a slight favorite. . . . Both like the route and Alston’s victory over the Notre Dame man at Drake probably will inspire the Irish distance star to go all-out to achieve triumph in tomorrow's event.

Indians Face Six Games in Minneapolis

AFTER COMPLETING that long series (six games) in St. Paul tonight the Indianapolis Indians face additional heavy duty in Minneapolis where they open a six-game series with the third-place Millers tomorrow, The Tribe-Miller series calls for a single tilt tomorrow afternoon, a double-header Sunday afternoon, a single tilt Monday night and two twilight games Tuesday, at 5 and 7:30 p. m. » = ” ” ” 8 ANDY COHEN, former second sacker with the New York Giants and Minneapolis Millers, who played the infield for Elmira of the Eastern league this season, was inducted into the army at Ft.

Sox Sign Wade—‘Sign of the Times’

YOU COULD READ the “sign of the times” in baseball when the Chicago White Sox signed Jake Wade, veteran southpaw, the other day. ... He was released and made a free agent by Indianapolis early in the 1941 season. Eddie Collins Jr, outfielder with the Philadelphia Athletics and son of Eddie Collins, vice president and business manager of the Boston Red Sox, was commissioned an ensign in the navy at Arlington, Va., May 27. Mule Haas, Chicago White Sox coach, sent his draft questionnaire back to his New Jersey draft board last week, leaving vacant the line: “Why don’t you think you should be drafted?” . .. He explained: “My uncle's on ghe draft board and he can fill that out better than I can.” » » » ” ® ® JIM GALLAGHER, former Philadelphia Record sports writer, is reported “missing in action.” . . . He was called into active service last year as a first lieutenant of infantry, fought at Bataan and Corregidor, was promoted to captain on the field and cited for bravery.

Indians Have 1st Division Spot in Sight

Rachunok Gets Chance To Extend String

Times Special ST. PAUL, June 5—Evidently the Indians really are rolling, at long

last, riding a five-game winning|"

streak and perched in sixth place in the American association standings. . Although they have climbed by inches they are nonetheless happy about the turn for the good in their fortune and hope to make it six straight over the St. Paul Saints tonight to close out the long series before heading for Minneapolis tomorrow. When the Indians invaded Lexie ton park Tuesday they were in the league cellar. On Wednesday they advanced to seventh and last night they bumped off the Apostles in a double-header, 4 to 3 and 5 to 2, and eased into sixth position.

First Division In Sight

The Tribesters now are only one game behind fifth-place Louisville and only a game and a half behind fourth-place Columbus. A couple of weeks ago Manager Gabby Hartnett predicted his team would reach the first division by mid-June and maybe he knew what he was talking about. At any rate, the Redskins have bounced back by winning five straight after losing four straight and if some team can stop Kansas City the league race may settle down into a real dog fight for the pennant before the schedule runs its course. Steve Rachunok is expected to receive the Tribe mound e¢all tonight and St. Paul probably will use Dick Lanahan, a seasoned southpaw. The series finale is scheduled to start in the twilight at 7:30. Come From Behind

The Indians won last night's seven-inning first struggle the hard way and on six hits. Ray Poat worked the route on the Tribe rubber, opposing Clay Smith, who held the Redskins to six blows. The Saints got to Poat for two runs in the first inning and added a third in the fifth, giving them a lead of 3 to 0 after five innings. The Tribe uprising occurred in the sixth and Hartnett's Hoosiers didn’t stop until they had four runs in and the lead, 4 to 3. And that's the way it' ended. In the second game, over the regulation distance of nine innings, Earl Reid opposed Dick Coffman. The Indians grabbed the lead this time by scoring twice in the first stanza. In the fourth they rallied again and splurged for three more runs, giving them a 5-to-0 advantage. Rich Relieves Reid

Reid weakened in the eighth, and after the Saints scored two markers, he was relieved by Woodie Rich who stopped the Saints in their tracks. The Tribesters collected 12 blows in the second game but left 12

| runners stranded, otherwise it would

have been a cake walk for them. Manager Hartnett caught both games and got along swimmingly for his age. He has caught every game in the Tribe's winning streak and evidently intends to continue in harness while his rejuvenated team is galloping like champs. Incidentally, the St. Paul Saints have lost nine straight, longest losing streak of the season in the A. A.

How Come MacPhail Let Foxx

Escape His Veteran Dodgers?

By HARRY GRAYSON Times Special Writer CHICAGO, June 5—James Emory Foxx is one old bloke who

escaped Larry MacPhail.

But if Jimmy Foxx were a pitcher, you could have bet case money that he would have landed in Brooklyn when he was waived out of

the American league.

After all, the Dodgers are fairly well set at first base with Dolph

Camilli and Babe Dahlgren and with Augie Galan able to fill in. Loud Speaker MacPhail will take on any veteran pitcher who appears to have run out of gas elsewhere. You can’t blame President MacPhail. He has enjoyed phenomenal success with them—Whitlow Wyatt, Curtis Davis, Johnny Allen and Larry French. Chillie Willie Terry is seized by a violent pain in the neck every time he thinks of all the good work the Bums got out of Fat Freddie Fitzsimmons after the Giants gave up on him. Davis, the Leader

Thanks to the oldsters, Brook. lyn went west with 23 complete pitching jobs and an amazing staff earned run average of 2.62. Curt, Davis was the leader fl with seven victories against one reverse and six full assignments, The gaunt Californian is shooting for a 20-game season at 35. There is the usual crop of young pitching stars Ernie Bonham of the Yankees, Howard Pollet and Ernie White of the Cardinals, to make up a trio—

SRN Davis

. but major league leaders indicate

that handcuffiing batters is an old man's art. As the eastern clubs of the National league swung West, three pitchers had each bagged seven engagements. The other two were Claude Passeau and Bill Lee of the Cubs. Passeau is 31, bespectacled and big Bill Lee a year older. Ray Starr is a standout with the Reds at 35.

Ted Lyons remains a White Sox once-a-week dependable at 41. John Niggeling does better than all right with the Browns at 37 and Rufus the Red Ruffing is still tough as a Yankee workman at the same ripe old baseball age. Sharing honors with young White in Detroit livery is 35-year-old Tommy Bridges. Elden Auker, now 31, is submarining for the Browns as well as he did for the champion Tigers. Mel Harder donned glasses to do a comeback with the Indians at 32. There is vastly more to pitching than throwing the ball, Old-timers prove it.

Miss Bain Takes Club Handicap

Miss Marjorie Bain beat Mrs, George Enos, 5 and 4, yesterday to win first flight honors of the ladies spring handicap tourney at the Indianapolis Country club. In semi-final matches Miss Bain

defeated Mrs. BE. Rogers, 3 and 2, and Mrs. Enos scored a 4-and-2 decision over Miss Jean Benham. Mrs. Z. P. Owings won second flight honors although she was forced to go 21 holes before winning over Mrs. G. R. Redding. Mrs. Owings had defeated Mrs. T. S. Hood, 3 and 1, and Mrs. Redding had beaten Mrs. R. A. Wall, 1 up, in the semi-finals.

Scott to Coach ’41-42 State

Net Champions

Formerly Coached at Southport and Tech

WASHINGTON, Ind., June 5 (U P.).—Ray Scott, Martinsville high school basketball coach, will take over Marion Crawley’s post at Washington high school—and the job of guiding the Hatchets to their third successive state prep school title. The champion-wise Crawley, who took his Washington squads to the top of the heap in 1941 and 1942, resigned recently to accept the coaching job at Lafayette Jefferson high school. Coached at Tech Scott’s coaching career which includes service at Monroeville, Southport and Huntingburg, in ad dition to one year as assistant coach at Indianapolis Tech, has never produced a state champion, although his 1937 team at Huntingburg dropped the title to Anderson by 10 points, 33 to 23. Bob Menke and Don Blemker, who later starred at Indiana and Purdue universities, were two of Scott's Huntingburg products. Graduate of Franklin The Washington build-up will put the squeeze on the new coach, as Scott will face a situation where eight of the 10 players on the 1942 team won’t be back, while the remaining two lack tourney experience. During his last four years at Martinsville, Scott's teams never reached the finals. His 1942 squad lost out in the sectional play. He will report to Washington in late summer with the promise of a three-year contract. A native of Whiteland, he is a graduate of Franklin college.

next year, according to an announcement by John Janzaruk, athetic director. Games with Columbus and Sheridan may be canceled in favor o Park and Shortridge although the Redskins and Shortridge severed football relations seven years ago. Already basketball games with Masonic Home of Franklin and Brownsburg have been canceled and it is likely that Park School may be added to the net card. The

tentative schedules are:
