They Are Depended on Largely to Take the Meet Away From South Bend's Large Squad on the Track of Gleason Field This Week.

Captain Bernard Siold. the "strong man" of Gary Emerson high school track team, may be withdrawn from either the 100. 220 or 440 jard dashes, at the Northern Indiana track and field meet at Gleason park, Gary, Saturday. This information leaked out yeater-' day, when it was whispered that Coach Gilroy of Emerson had practically decided to hold Szold from one of the fast runs in order to save him for other evonts. Szold runs in good time the above mentioned races and also high Jumps and broad jumps and is finish man on the relay team. Without Szold Emerson high school would have no chance whatever to make a fight for the honors. It is very probable that Sr.old will be kept from the 100 yard dash. This run is an exceedingly trying one and it is said that the Gary track head would rather lose points that Szold would probably win in this event to conserve him for possible first place points in the other dashes. Rhind Too Tastf (Perhaps another good reason for taking Szold out of the 100 yard dash is that Rhind of Hammond made it last Saturday in len seconds and one-fifth. attire that made him conspicuous. He slept all night sitting in a chair, and when he tried to get up as the boat arrived he fell to the floor. "The chief trouble with me," he whispered, when be was picked up. "is that I haven't eaten for thr?e days." CRIMSON READY FOR THE GAME Contest at Columbus MayDecide Conference Championship. BLOOMING TON, INO.. May 17. Whether Ohio State will cancel the game with Indiana FridaTy st Columbus, in accordance with the general order of Governor Cox. is doubtful at the present time. E. O. Stiehm, director of athletics, had received no word from the Ohio State early this morning, and coach Whisrsan is planning on making the trip. He sent the Crimson squad through a light workout yesterday, and will play a regular game with the freshmen this, afternoon. If Ohio State cacels her schedule Indiana will be in first place in the conference, and will have excellent chances for the championship. The rest of the Crimson schedule) includes two games with Purdue. May 25 and Jur 2. and a return game with Illinois a week from today at Vrbana. The Indiana track team will be entered in the conference track meet at Chicago June 16 and the entries will be made out this week. It is thought that practically the same team which made the trip to Northwestern Saturday will be sent to Chicago. FOR SECTIONAL MEET ANDERSON, IND., May 17.

Alec Rhind, the sensation of last Saturday's meet, is runnig daily and in perfect trim. It is expected that he will clip another second off in the 100 yard dash time, making it in ten seconds flat. If he does he will have a state record dangling at his belt. Students of the Hammond high school do not contemplate any trouble for Rhind in repeating his county track meet per- ""-"' oath Bend DonhtfuL As usual little rs known of the down-

BALL" UP FOR ARGUMENT By X. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW TORK. May 17. The celebrated and disreputable "bean ball," which has been charged to every effective curve ball pitcher since the day curve ball pitching became a reality, is again going, the round of the two major leagues. As a result there is a surplus of feeling when certain clubs get together. Carl Mays has been openly charged with using the old weapon. Dick Rudolph has been threatened -with annihilation by some hot-headed opponents. Elmer Myers narrowly escaped a bat thrown by Lawton Witt, a team mate, to whom he was pitching in batting practice. Even Grovnr Alexander has been charged with heaving the dangerous fast one. . George Stalling, manager of the Breve, declares the charges flung at hls r,Hchers are only part of a concertto bring the Braves into- disi repute. He insists the particular reaI lrin fnr then efforts is knnu n in him and declares there will be a showdown. Grover Alexander was shocked when some one suggested to him that he had been using his great speed to drive batters away from the plate. He had a novel defense of the high inside fast one he uses occasionally. The batter, he explained, often steps back of the plate, standing close to the plate. As the ball approaches be steps forward and often is successful in , meetine the ball hefore it breaks Tho batter, he believes, does this more often if expecting a curve ball. He expressed the belief that there is only one defense against tactics of this kind for the pitcher, and that is to pitch the high, fast ones ?nslde, forcing the batter to pop out or let the ball pass. "If we passably allowed a batsman to take that hop and smash they might as well all be fast ones," he declared. "There are few pitchers to my knowledge who deliberately aim at a batter's head to drive him away from the plate, hut they have to protect themselves. The batter is bringing danger to himself if he persists in stepping back and walking up on this fast one, for, when it breaks it is likely to catch him." Carl Mays, Dutch Ieonard and other stars have been accused of throwing the" "bean ball," but it never has been fastened on any one. Minor League in Trouble. CHARLOTTE, X. C May 17.
