JACK HENDRICKS, a baseball man of the “old
school,” who died in Chicago bered by veteran Indianapolis
vesterday, is well rememfans. . . . He directed the
Indians to the American association pennant in 1917 and added to that achievement by master-minding them to the little world series title by cleaning up on Toronto. In baseball's Valhalla, Hendricks joins Indianapolis pennantwinning skippers, William H. (Watty) Watkins, 1902, and Charles
C. Carr, 1908. . . .
The Indians’ only other A. A. pennant was
annexed in 1928 when Bruno Betzel still in baseball, directed the
team.
The affable Hendricks took over the Tribe reins in 1914 after James C. McGill purchased the club. . . . McGill and Hendricks had operated together at Denver in the old Western league. From a poor last in 1913, Hendricks lifted the Indians to third

. « The Indians finished in champion in 1813 and in one only nine and one-half games
off the pace at the close of the 1914 campaign. Under Hendricks the Indians finished third again in 1815, second in 1016, five and one-half games behind the champion; and then to the pennant in 1817, two and one-half games in front.
Overseas With Knights of Columbus
IN 1918. the second year of world war I for America, Hendricks was advanced to the majors as imnanager of the St. Louis Cardinals.

He did not finish out the 1818 baseball season, however, and
« « He re-
turned to basebail and Indianapolis in 1919 and skippered the
Indians into fourth place.
The Indians fell to fifth place in 1920, advanced to fourth in 1921. held to fourth in 1922 and then plunged to seventh in 1823. ... This was under the William C. Smith ownership. . . . Smith had bought the Tribe franchise from his nephew. James C. McGill,

Smith died about 19 years ago.
Moves to Reds, Becomes Manager
OWEN J. BUSH, president-part
owner-manager of the current
Indianapolis Indians, displaced Hendricks in 1924 as Indianapolis
pilot and the veteran Jack caught
on as coach of the Cincinnati
Reds. . . . After the death of Pat Moran, Cincinnati manager during the 1924 spring training season, Hendricks was appointed skipper of the Queen City team and held the post through 1929.
= » LATER, Hendricks returned to
= = = Indianapolis as scout and as-
gistant to the club president in 1931 and 1932 in the early years of the
Norman A. Perry Sr. regime. .
. . After that the gray-thatched vet-
eran finished his baseball career several years ago as a big league
scout for the Chicago Cubs.
Directed the Indians Nine Years
In the spring of 1942 when the Indianapolis Indians pulled in from the south after spring training, Hendricks was at the Union station to greet them. . . . Mrs. Hendricks accompanied him. , . . And he remarked to Gabby Hartnett, the Tribe's 1942 manager, “that 28 vears ago I pulled into this station up from the south at the head of the Indians.” Jack Hendricks set a record as an Indianapolis baseball man@ger. . . . He directed the Redskins for nine years with only one break, 1918. . . . His years as chief at old Washington park were 1914, 15, "16 and 'I7; then back at the helm in 1919, "21, 22 and "23.

Washington and Paul Webb of Howe. Byfield is a favorite to win the pole vault event. The Washington ace set a new track record at the; Howe oval Tuesday, vaulting 11 feet 4 inches. The former mark of 11 feet was set by Don Swarat of Crawfordsville last year. Two of the outstanding boys entered in the Washington carnival are Ralph Toney of Howe and Roland Schell of Manual. These two track men are entered in the 100-| vard dash and fans attending %0- | day's meet at Washington may witness cne of the most spirited races of the yeer here. Toney and Scholl are ardent rivals. They have met three times this campaign, Scholl coming out on top twice. Toney partly avenged those setbacks by walking off with the “100” in the city meet. Tony, also, is favored to win the 220. Frank Hines of Washington has been a consistent winner throughout the year in the 440 and is favored to win the event in the sectional. Hines is a slow starter but a fast finisher. Manual’s Scholl may afford Hines his toughest opposition.
Discovered in Class
Donald Robbins, another Washington standout, won the mile in the city meet with the remarkable time of 4:47 and according to reports should win today. His nearest competitor is Paul Stoyonovich of Manual. However, John Elliott of Howe has been coming along fast in recent weeks and may spring an upset.

To 1917
WITH THE DEATH yesterday in Chicago of John C. (Jack) Hendricks, 68, memories of oldtime baseball ganies and old-time baseball stars were brought back to fans of the great American sport throughout the country. For Jack Hendricks is a name almost synonymous with baseball. He spent 30 years in the game, managing at various times the Indianapolis Indians, the Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals, and although he has not been officially connected with baseball since 1932, he remained in close touch with it until his death. . He was working for the war production board under Mayor Kelly in Chicago when he died while reading a newspaper in his living room. Indianapolis played a large part in Mr. Hendricks’ life. It was here that he was last officially connected with baseball as business manager of the Indians for the 1931-32 season. After that he practiced law here until 1836, when he ran unsuccessfully for state representative on the Democratic ticket. He first came to Indianapolis in January, 1914, from Denver, Colo.,, and thanaged the Indians in 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917. In 1917 the Indians won the American association pennant for the third time in A. A. history. In 1918 he managed the St. Louis Cardinals, but returned here the next year and was with the Indians until 1923, placing three times in the first division.

Athletes Flock
To 15 Centers In the State
By UNITED PRESS High school track athletes were scheduled to gather in 15 sectional track meets today and tomorrow, and probably will do so if the selected sites do not ripple when the wind blows. However, due to the indisputable dampness of the past week, track fans were resigned to waiting till next week for a really good track meet. If it rains for. the several days preceding the state finals, the fans are just out of luck, that’s all. Sectional interest was centered on meets at Kokomo and Ft. Wayne North Side. Anderson, the only team to stay in the same county with North Side all season, will compete at Kokomo, and will be trying to qualify every possible man with an eye to an upset in the state finals.

Pat Malone, Former Majors Pitcher, Dead
ALTOONA, Pa., May 14 (U. P).— Perce Leigh (Pat) Malone, former pitcher with the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees, died last night at Mercy hospital after a sudden attack of acute pancreatitis. He was 40, The right-hander who had his peak years with the Cubs in 1929 and 1930 .nd pitched in three world series was taken to Mercy hospital yesterday afternoon from the home of his father, Chris, in nearby Hollidaysburg., He died at 11:45 p. m, Apparently in perfect health, Malone was stricken with abdominal pains Thursday morning and a physician ordered his removal to the hospital.
Funeral Is Sunday
He is survived by his wife, Marion; an 18-year-old daughter, Patriticia, and his father. Puneral services will be held Sunday. After eight seasons in the minors, Malone pitched for the Cubs from 1928 through 1934. He was the National league's leading pitcher in 1920 and 1930 with 22 and 20 victories, respectively. In 1829 he also led the league with 166 strikeouts. He pitched in world series games for the Cubs in 1920 and 1932. He shifted to the Yankees of the American league in 1035 and remained with them through the 1937 season. He pitched for the Yanks in the 1936 world series.
Played With Millers After 10 years in the majors, Malone played briefly with Minneapolis, Baltimore and Chattanooga. Malone, who was born in Altoona, married Marion Seeley of Milan,
* * in Chicago 1930—Manages Chicago Cubs. 1031-32—Manages Indians. Mr. Hendricks broke into the major fields in 1904, playing outfield for Washington and later the New York Giants. He started as a pilot with the Springfield, O, club of the Central league. After 1036 Mr. Hendricks trav-
eled for a Chicago firm, selling athletic equipment for a time and engaging in other business. He was a native of Joliet, Ill, and a graduate of Northwestern university’s law school. During world war I he was the Knights of Columbus’ overseas representative, and was stationed at Bordeaux, Chateau Thierry, Paris and Verdun. ” s 8 IN INDIANAPOLIS he was a member of SS. Peter and Paul cathedral. Mr. Hendricks was noted for his geniality, his aggressiveness as a manager, and his remarkable memory, especially for details which might contribute to the success of his ball club. He was known also for his love of baseball, never tiring of speaking about it, recalling old plays, re-living old games. When his two sons won their baseball letters at Indiana university he was especially pleased. Physicians said his death was caused by a blood clot. Surviving are the wife, Winifred Lupton Hendricks; sons, John Hendricks Jr, general manager of the American Coating Mills, Elkhart, and James Hendricks, who is expecting a naval commis sion soon; three grandsons and a granddaughter.

He may prove| to be one of the annual surprises in! today’s meet. | Another fine Howe product with, more than an even chance to win is Robert Banks. Banks captured the 880 in the city cinder derby, leading the pack in 2:08. Southpert should garner a first place position in one of the field events when Robert Aliff takes the field in the shot put. The big Cardinal athlete has tossed the] shot 47 feet on two occasions this year. Alf also is entered in the low hurdles and is a favorite to win. Aliff won the event in the county meet, equaling the sectional record of :238. The high jump record of 5 feet 87 inches, set last year by Jim Wade of Howe, will be in danger when Washington’s Eq Jones goes into action today. The Continental star leaped 5 feet 9 inches in a dual meet with Ben Davis last Friday. Jones’ brother, Bob, also is entered in the high jump and is capable of coming through with a victory.
Webb Is Favored
The broad jump probably will be taken by Paul Webb, Howe's jumping ace. Webb has leaped over 21 feet on several occasions this season and there is no reason to believe he will not do so again today. The Howe Hornets appear too well-balanced for any school to seriously threaten the title they won last year. Sam Kelly's tracksters are a seasoned outfit and do their best under pressure.

While the Washington meet js in progress, high school stars will be competing at Tech’s oval, the other sectional center in the Indianapolis area. The Big Green is a favorite to defend its title there. Back in 1917, Hull of Noblesville, established a high jump mark of 5 feet 11 inches. This record has withstood all challenges down through the years. However, when Tech’s tall, blond Don Pedlow takes off this afternoon the record of the old Noblesville athlete may fall by the wayside. In the city meet Pedlow leaped 5 feet 101% inches and last week duplicated the sectional record of 5 feet 11 inches in the North Central conference meet in the event. Pete Negley of Lawrence Certral will give Pedlow his toughest opposition in the high jump. The big
