CUBS TO TACKLE PIRATES TODAY Evers' Squad Due Home Tomorrow After One Day Stay at Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh. Pa., May 2. Somewhat mangled and considerably distressed because of their unfortunate eastern trip, the Cubs reached Pittsburgh yesterday afternoon. Today they will

battle the Pirates, after which they will return to the home grounds. .Seven of the crew, six pitchers and a catcher, went through from Buffalo to Chicago. Manager Evers brought four hurlers here for the one combat, but hasn't made up his mind which one will start the game today. He had intended to use Larry Cheney In the final game at Boston, then ship him home, but as the

Thursday contest was postponed Cheney was brought here and is likely to be sent against the Pirates. The other hurlers are Smith. LelfJeld and Lavender. As Cheney hasn't fully recovered

from his illness the manager would like to let htm rest at least another day. He may use Larry here to save the game if occasion demands It, then put him against St. Louis on the home grounds on Sunday. Charley Smith has his bum hand healed and feels ready to tackle the Pirates.

To the accompaniment of a brass

band and several vocalists, an automo-

oiie parade through the loop, and a

raid on several north side florists, Chi

cago's federal league season was open-

eo yesterday at ue faul field with a defeat, of Bert Keeley's local nine by the Pittsburgh Filllplnos, 7 to 1.

Because of an open date in White

Sox and Cubs home schedules, all the

trimmings were set for a big league

opening. Sheriff Michael Zimmer wound up in regulation style and

hurled the first ball across the plate into the waiting mitt of Catcher McDonough. Staff photographers and moving picture men sealed the classic features of the two nines and the local

officials.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 24. Ralph

De Palma yesterday established the

fact that his Mercer will be a formld

able candidate for first honors In the

600-mile race here on Memorial day

He thcew the yellow machine 100 miles around the track, averaging eightyseven miles an hour for the distance. This is the most sensational perform

ance of the season and dispels the

doubt that the Mercer might not be

serious contender in the splendid field

of fast cars. It also proves the Ital ian's nerve Is unaffected by his aocl

dent in the Grand Prise at Milwaukee

last year.

De Palma was testing tires whan

he hung up the record. lie . blew put

two tires in the hundred miles.

Next to De Palma's trial, the work of the Sunbeam, with Albert Guyot driving, was the feature of the day's

practloe. The Sunbeam's exhibition

proved It to be ideal tor the track, and

all who saw Guyot's driving oonoeded the English machine a chanoe to win.

The conduct of the car on the carves was excellent despite Its extreme

length. Although it was Guyot's first

spin, he averaged seventy-five miles

an hour for all of six laps. The Sun

beam really Is the only car which la conceded a chanoe of victory in the

race, the Mercedes-Knight and Peu-

geota having demonstrated no extra
