WAIN AGAIN HALTS INDIANS AND SENATORS; BOSTON MORNING GAME CAPTURED BY RED SOX
WEATHER JINX
r THREATENS TO
, STICK AROUND
Indians Haven’t Had a Really
Brilliant Day Yet, but
May Is Coming.
CLYMERS HERE RESTING
*iy EDDIE ASII.
Indianapolis fans are hoping that th*
weather man will "have a heart” shortly
and ‘‘lay off” this storm stuff.
Perhaps he doesn’t know the Mud
Hens have left the city, but even if he
doesnt he is getting too rough and
his antics have ceased to be a joke.
Robbed of their Sunday baseball en
tertainment local diamond followers piled
out of the hay this morning to see an
other punk day, and it wasn't long until
the “No Game; Rain,” sign was hanging
out again at Washington park.
April showers brln* May flowers, bnt
according to the undertakers tivey do
not expect any more funerals than usual
in May and it has rained enough now
start anew cemetery.
rHAS ANY ONE
HERE SEEN SPRING?
Fact of the matter is if this keeps up
someone will have to swear out a search
warrant and start a posse out to hunt
for spring.
Indianapolis is snpposed to be the
greatest inland city in the world, but
It Is rapidly taking on the appearance of ■
a sea coast town.
At any rate, it is time for some sun
shine to show because the Indians
haven't had a really good day this
season, and, as they are shortly
scheduled to go on the road for a long
stay, they would appreciate it very
much If smiling skies would come out
for at least one act before they leave.
Bill Clymer and his Columbus Senators I
are loafing around hotel lobbies awaiting j
action and the fans would like to see
Bill’s gang perform because his outfit
Isn't stocked any too well with pitchers
and that’s the kind of opposition the
Tribe needs now—opposition with a
paucity of twirlers. ....
The Tribe will spring a slightly
changed lineup Tuesday If the third
scheduled game with the Senators is
played. Jimmy Smith is slated to
play second base In place of Wolf and
the batting order Is to be shifted some.
Cal Crum is ready again and also
Png Cavet, with Rogge Just about due to
6wing Into action.
Adams Is in line also for a start,
while Murray, the youngster, is hoping
to get another chance at an early date.
MURRAY DESIRES
TO START ANEW
Murray made his league debut Satur
day, but be prefers to forget it and
start anew.
The little southpaw was unnerved and
the Toledo Hens gave him a terrific bom
bardment and before he was removed in
favor of Karl Adams, the visitors had
chased over ten runs.
Adams stopped the Hen sluggers, but
the Bresnahans had too big a lead and
the game wound np 10 to 5.
The Tribe staged a ninth-inning rally,
scoring three runs, which goes to show
that Hendricks has got a gang of fighters
under his wing who refuse to give up at
any time.
Asa result of the Toledo Tietory Sat
urday the Hens left here with two out of
three games dangling to their beaks,
while the Indians are left in the second
division for the time being.
Ralph Stunners is batting 1.000 as a
leaguer. He went to the plate as an
A. A. player for the first time Satur
day when he batted for Adams in the
ninth and he socked one down the left
field foul line for a clean blngle.
Wlcklnnd‘B one-hand stab of Coving
ton’s bid for an extra-base hit was the
fielding feature Saturday.
Em eric h Is a classy fielder and will
l.eat somebody out of a job if he picks
np in hitting.
Route Wolf is so anxious to make good
that he is over-anxious and his playing
has suffered. He will be benched for
awhile and Jimmy Smith used at sec
ond.
Murray’s disastrous start as a leaguer
Saturday can f>t be accounted for other
than he became unnerved before the
cackling Hens.
The fans will find that the team look*
altogether different when it is given good
pitching. The five runs It made Satur
day would win any ordinary game.
Members of both teams were sadly
disappointed today when the second
game of the series was called off. The
athletes don't like to stay idle any
length of time in the early spring be
cause they are too easily thrown off form
way.
“Smiling Joe’’ Willis, former Indian
southpaw, is with the Senators attempt
ing a comeback.
Josh Devore was around looking up
Sherwood Nottingham Magee last night.
Josh and Sherry played together with
the Phillies,
Devore is feeling active again and
would not turn down a player-manager
Job If * the inducements were strong
enough. Josh can still crack ein.
If Reb Russell can get the kick in his
arm ironed out he will try pitching
again.
The Saints are traveling like a speed
king and are occupying the same posi
tion they finished in last season—first
place.
Europe’s Champ Runner
BRUSSELS, April 19.—Marcel Guille
mot, the French cross-country runner,
won the eight-mile Belgian cross-country
championship Sunday, making the dis
tance In 43:45.
Guillemot is entered as a middle dis
tance runner for the Olympic games at
Antwerp.
He is now the cross-country champion
of France, England and Belgium.
RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAT.
The Mannal-Shortridge-Anderson tri
angular track meet scheduled for today
at Willard park was again called oft
on account of inclement weather con
ditions.
The meet was originally carded foi
last Friday afternoon but postponed un
til today no account of rain. ,
Local coaches stated today that an
other date would not be set until the

Muliin had hoped to re-establish him
self in the game and become manager of
some minor league team, taking his turn

She hlbo broke a Hawaiian record in
swimming 440 yards in 6 minutes 213-5
Ban Brown Derby
NEW YORK. April 19. —The brown
derby as a gift In baseball had a
short Use, though a merry one.
Rube Ruth's good nature when he
received the celebrated token of fail
ure at Shibe park on Wednesday last
turned the affair Into a most enjoy
able time for the fans, but that did
not make such a presentation popular
with league and club officials.
Announcement was made today a
measure will be adopted to prevent
any recurrence of a brown derby
presentation in the American league.
It is argued that such a gift bellt>-
tlos the recipient and detracts from
the dignity of the sport.
Yankees Set Back

BOSTON, April 19.—1n the morning
game of the Patriots' day twin bill today
between the New York Americans and the
Boston Red Sox the local team scored a

Wiggins Being Lined Up
for Campaign of Bouts
George Pulford, manager of Chuck
Wiggins, Is s'.auing the Indianapolis
battler on a busy campaign. George has
Wiggins matched for a Michigan date
this month, and will then follow right
along the trail, meeting all comers, and
preferring opponents of the highest
class, such as Levlnsk.v, Tommy Gibbons,
Bill Brennan, Mike O'Dowd, Augte Rat
ner and, in fact, any one from 162 to 180.
Chuck Is also after a match with Ted
Jamison, the Milwaukee light heavy
weight. the weight to be anything Jam
ison wants.
Can’t See Much Chance
for Yanks in Flag Race
A majority of the Brooklyns, who
staged a spring series with the Yankees,
are of the opinion that Miller Huggins
outfit will hot represent the American
league In the next world series.
Many of the players pick the team
to finish in second or third place, and
there are a few who think four rival
clubs in the Johnson circuit will finish
in front of them.
The players warn Yankee fans not to
expect too much from Babe Ruth.
While they think he wdll break his
own home run record, they say his bat
ting alone wdll not be enough to bring
the American league championship to
New York.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 19,1920.
YOUNG DRIVER
IN AUTO RACE
G. Chevrolet After Big Honors
—Lap Fund Grows.
Automobile race fans throughout the
country have received the news that
Gaeton Chevrolet, youngest of the “rac
ing family,” will drive with the Monroe
team In the 500-mtle classic at the In
dianapolis motor speedway, May 31, as
a bit of glad tidings.
Three startling victories marked the
youngster’s debut in the championship
ranks last season, and his sensational
driving has brought him the attention
of everybody connected with activities
on the “thundering road.”
Gaston established anew mark for
the century when he won the 100-mile
Independence day race at Sheepshend
bay last year with an average of 110.5
miles per hour. He averaged 106.95
miles per hour in the 150-mile Labor
day race on the same track later in
the yenr.
He later displayed his powers on the
Unlontowu track when, teaming with
.Toe Boyer, he took • first place In the
225-inile classic.
Chevrolet showed daring skill In every
race he entered last year and finished
sixth in the list of drivers for the sea
son.
Late subscriptions have brought the
jiroposed citizens’ $20,000 lap prize for
the next speedway event up to $5,100
and A. H. Adams, field manager of the
citlzenß’ committee, stated today that
several Indianapolis business firms, not
yet enrolled, probably will be hearo
from in the next week. Adams hopes
to have the fund near completion by
Saturday night.
Subscriptions not previously an
nounced were vecolved from the follow
ing; Samuel O. Dungan, Polk Sanitary
Milk Company; A. G. Snider, Hide,
Leather and Belting Company, and F C.
Gardner, E. C. Atkins Saw Company
The subscription of John J. Madden
previously announced should have been
credited to the John J. Madden Manu
facturing Company Instead of Thorns*
Madden Sons & Cos., as announced.

Not After Zim
NEW YORK, Apr!’. 19 - Manager Hug
gins of the Yankees came over frotp
i Philadelphia Saturday and lost no time
in denying the rumor that bo was seek
ing Heine Zimmerman, former Giant third
baseman.
Huggins says that ho can't imagine
how such a yarn started.
The Giants' third baseman isn't ap
proachable at the present time, unyway,
as he has been under suspension since
last season.

MAJOR UPSETS
SCORED EARLY
Big Leagues Open First Week
With Dope Badly Shaken.
With the usual number of early sea
son upsets and form reversals already
registered the sixteen pennant hunters
In the two big leagues settled down to
their first full week of baseball today
and the flag races got under way in
deadly earnest.
Inclement weather resulted In a num
ber of postponements, and as a result
of these and the inability to settle down
to a normal stride, four teams have so
far failed to break into the won column.
The Giants, Cubs, Nationals and Tigers
have ,yet to win a game.
Os the big league pennant aspirants
the world’s champion Cincinnati Reds
alone have run true to expected form.
Pat Moran’s team, though headed by
the Pittsburg Pirates, has won three
out of four games
The Cleveland Spokes met with an
early upset and the Giants and Yanks,
both figuring as strong pennant con
tenders in their respective leagues, have
so far failed to exhibit their real
strength.
The surprising showing of both Boston
teams, was one of the features of the
opening days of tho races.
