with the loss of a game he didn't pitch.

In winning the first, third, sixth, seventh and ninth holes, Russ Rader, Sarah Shank star, was four up on Dan Scism, the Evansville newspaper writer, at the turn.

Sandlot Rules May Be Eased

The deadline for amateur baseball teams to sign new players passed last night. This announcement was in accordance with rules of the Indianapolis amateur Baseball association, at its weekly meeting in City Hall last night. An exception of the rule may be left to a decision of managers of the association's two leagues, if Slo Yovanovch, last year manager of the city champion Allison nine, applies for reinstatement. Slo played with Syracuse of the International league early this season and was later sent to the Cincinnati Reds. Ill health forced his retirement from the professional field, but he is expected to apply for reinstatement in the local amateur association for the balance of the season. Although it is contrary to the association’s rules to reinstate players who have played professional during the current season, managers will be allowed to vote on his reinstatement.
