Rivals in First 1920
Meeting.
CAVET BEATS CLYMERS
Lots of hot stuff for the Tribe fans
starting tomorrow.
The Louisville Colonels are coming to
town for their first 1920 visit and when- ,
pver that gang invades Washington
Murk there’s somethin’ doin’ for the
Meache ites.
As usual Louisville is rated a flag con
tender and the Indians are out to knock
the props out from under that rating in |
order to toss a little fear into the hearts |
of Mike Kelley's Saints, who are attempt
ing to put a spike into the pennant
right off the bat.

Joe McCarthy, Colonels’ leader, has a ,
formidable outfit lined up na<ler the ,
Colonel banner this year, but as a result

Against the Senators yesterday. Tribe
followers will back their Hoosmrs to
trim the Bine Grass gang out of the big
end of the series starting tomorrow.
The Tribesmen took advantage ot the
off-dav In the A. A. schedule today by
putting In a few hours of practice, s id
they will be all set Friday for wbat
ever the Colonels toss their way
While the Tribe athletes worked out
todav Manager Hendricks walked arouito
Chicago with v.ealtny treani between Cub
headquarters and the Cincy Red camp,
in the hope of slipping a Hooster noose
over a pitcher.
HOPES TO ADD
JEIY PITCHER.
Hendricks wants to <be prepared for
tbe long trip that fc the Tribe after
the Colonel series, ami he holies to re
turn'from Chicago with anew twirler.
The fans had a great alrernoon yes
terday at the only game the Indians
got to play with the Columbus Senators.
Southpaw Csvet took tbe mound, and
the manner in which he turned back
the Clymers certainly was remarkable.
“Derby Day’s’’ club is rated a strong
hitting aggregation, but Cavet made ’em
eat oat of his hand.
Three blngles only were collected off
Cavet and the first did not come until
the fifth, and it was nearly stopped by
Zwillln g.
In five of the nine innings the Sena
tors went out In order, while the In
dians blazed over two runs and captured
the fracas, 2 to 0.
TRIKE SCORES
IX OPENER. ’ t
Toe Indiana shot n runner around in
the opening frame.
After two out, /willing doubled,
Schreifcer walked and Covington singled
Zwilling home. , _
In the seventh Schreiber walked, Bua-'
sell sacrificed and Gossett brought Hauk !
in with a hot shot to center.
The game was played In rapid time i
and only one error was charged, by ,
Schrieber in the sixth.
Caret did not issue a pass and the
tall heaver also cut in with some great !
and Schreiber also showed :
niftv in the field and altogether .t was
hot stuff for the fans to eujoy after the
postponements of the three days prjrlous.
Gherman did the chucking for the seu
fcitturs and, though he was in fair form,
Ikhi- Indians pecked at him enough to
prove they had it on Mm.
WASHINGTON HARK NOTES.
The Indians were cut down twice cn
double plays. The second came lu the
sixth, v\ hen Covington crashed one to
waru right field that had dynamite
on it. It went straight at Magee, how
ever. and he easily got Schreiber, who
naturally had a lead off first.
Co - iron got two hits and that smash
:.t Vagee would have been a third if
it ! been >m hes either way. Chili
ue -V . seems to be putting the old zip
in the big Texan's, bat.
When Reseller forced Magee in the fifth
only a great piece of fielding on the
port of Schreiber made it possible. Gos
sett's throw got between Bescher and
the bag, but Hank nailed it.
Magee takes a terrific wailop at the
tall ;.ud he's going to be a dangerous
man in this league.
Zwilling and Kusseli got the extra base
•macks, each getting a long double. m
The Indians have improved their
bunting.
When Cavet is pitching it is the same
as having an extra iuttelder out there.
The tall twirier knows exactly how to
cdle anything he can reach.
O’Mara was safe at first in the fifth
when he bit la front of the plate, but
Umpa AlcCafTerty failed to see Magee
drop the throw and Oliie was ruled out.
Schreiber's hit in the sixth went
through Turner s legs untouched. Hank
poled what started like an eTtxa. base hit
in the third, but the wind held the ball
back long enough to permit Bescher to
reach it. . ...
The Colonels will be here for games
Friday, Saturday. Sunday and Monday.
Friday is ladles* day.
OTHER I.EAGT E GAMES.
Lefty Cooper pitched the Pirates into
first placj in the National league by turn

SECOND OPENERS
IN THE MAJORS
Scenes Shift Today as the
Schedules Reverse.
By HENRY FARRELL,
United Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK April 22.—Half of the
Mg time bnsebsll fans who couldn’t alt
In on the opening games Inst week were
to be aceommodaLid today.
Tbe same teams, with the same scenes
reversed, were to supply the well known
crack of the bat against Hie ball in
the yards that have been 'dark this
season.
The east will tight the east and tbe
west will fight tbe west in a three-day
engagement in tbe National league, while
Bau Johnson lias booked a four-day
series for his valiants.
The Giants were to put themselves
llalrle to another mauling from the
Braves in Boston but rain prevented it.
Brooklyn was in safe-and-sane Phila
delphia, the Cards were to to help lu
the exomplltlcition of the baseball oe
grees for George Gibson in Fittsburg,
but wet grounds stopped it, while tbe
Beds were to try to make Grover Alex
ander look cheap before his home town
fans In Chicago.
Ban Jonuson, having let his wrath
against the Yankee subside apparently,
wanted Col. Huston’s hoys to win their
opeulug gurne In Harlem, so he bookcu
(hem with the Athletics.
Mack has been doing things to the
Yanks, however, and lie was not ex
pected to be bluffed out by a few thou
sand rabid Gothamites.
Tho Bed Sox took tbclr clean slate to
Washington, GleHson took bis two pitch
ers—Williams ami Clcotte—and his other
players to Detroit, and the Cleveland
Indians Journeyed to St. Louis.
Attendance at all the games so far
in this season has Indicated another
reign of prosperity for the national
pnstime.
