Indians Hope to Make It 2-in-a-Row And Take Undisputed League Lead
By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor : Now that the Indianapolis Indians have deadlocked the St. Paul Saints for the American Association lead, the Tribesters will depend upon huge John Hutchings tonight to make it two in a row and throw the key away on the Apostles. It's an exceptional early-season highlighter, with both clubs holding the top rung in coleadering ‘at six victories and two defeats,

Riddle’s 3-0 Shutout Proves Doctors Wrong
Told by Surgeons He Had No More Chance
To Pitch, Elmer Hurls Best Game for Pirates
By- CARL LUNDQUIST, United Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, Apr. 23—To Elmer Riddle who matched up his dead arm with dead gameness, went the accolade of courage today in the infant major league season. ¥ Surgeons once told him he had no chance to do any more pitching, but because he wouldn't believe them he was the author of the best game pitched thus far in the National League, a two-hit, 3-to-0 shutout for the rejuvenated a}
Not bad for a fellow who had won only four games in four years. Riddle, hero of Cincinpati's pennant campaigns of 1939 and 1941, came up with the lame arm after the 1943 season and from 21 wins that year he slumped to two in 1944. It was worse in 1945 when he had only one victory and he retired from baseball in 1946. He came back last year, but was plagued by the same trouble andithe THSAA has designated a new won only one game. The Reds|sectional site at Huntington. finally gave up, but Riddle didn’t and after selling himself to the Pirates’ new manager, Bill Meyer, it began to look today as if he would be once again living up to his name among National League batters.

In Trouble Once The only blows he gave up were singles by rookies Hank Schenz and Roy Smalley and he was in trouble only in the fourth when he walked three men, but bore down to retire the side.

Another sore-arm hurler made an encouraging comeback at New York where Dodger sophomore Harry Taylor thoroughly tested his arm in a 6 to 3 victory over the Giants. He walked nine, but bore down magnificently in the clutches, filling the bases on walks in the second, then retiring the next three men in order. He stranded 12 Giants on the sacks and the only runs scored off him before he was relieved by Hugh Casey in the ninth were homers by Whitey Lockman and Jack Lahrke. Bruce Edwards, returning to the Dodger lineup as catcher after several weeks convalescence from a sore arm, drove in three runs with a pair of doubles and added a single to lead the 10-hit Brooklyn attack. Lockman with his homer, a double, two singles and a walk paced the Giants. Errors Lose Game Two errors in the ninth, one by reliable Marty Marion, gave Reds an unearned run and a 4-to-3 victory over the Cards at St. Louis, Still another sorearm patient, Howle Pollet, worked well for seven innings in his 1948 debut before tiring, but relief pitcher Jim Hearn, victim of the bad fielding, was tagged ia Ai defeat Reliefer Harry umbert was the victor. -heavywe ‘The Braves salvaged the finale i heatyweig nt, Sires bot at Philadelphia, 10 to 4, o& 12inext Tuesday night in the Armory hits.
