FANS HOPE FOR SUNSHINE AS FIRST DOUBLE HEADER OF BASEBALL SEASON IS SCHEDULE I
TRIBESMEN AND
COLONELS TRY
SECONI) EFFORT
Rivals Hoped to Play Despite
Gloom Clouds—Double-
Header Tomorrow.
Barring snow the Indians hnpe<l to
get a crack ot the Colonels this after
neon.
The series opener yesterday was called
off because of rain and cold, but during
the night the athletes sort of cot used
to the return of winter anil they fig
ured on staging a contest today despite
th-5 frigid atmosphere.
Asa result of the inability of the
teams to get together Friday a double
header has been carded for Sundaj. tirst
game starting at - o'clock.
It Is not customary to play twin bibs
early In the season, but due to the fact
that postponed games are piling up Man
agers Hendricks and McCarthy decided
It would he wise to play a double at
traction now In order to lighten the
schedule of future weeks.
Indianapolis is being hit hard by ail
brands of weather and it seems as
though the Hoosiers drew the jinx ticket
in the 1920 schedule drawing
The plavlng field is in good shape and
■with frigid weather prevailing it was ex
pected that today's contest would see the
athletes speeding up things in order to
keep warm. - _ _, .
Tomorrow being April 20. which, ac
cording to the calendar, means that Mav
soon will be here, there is a possibility
of the sun coming out for a bluff, at
least.
And 1/ the sunbeams do show there s
no doubi but that a huge crowd will at
tend the twin bill.
The small boys had a prob.em to
solve today. They had to decide between
carrying water for the elephants and
watching for foul balls.
Ralph Shtnners is anxious to start
in a game. That hit he got as a pinch
hitter against Toledo makes Ralph feel
be has overcome the nervousness that
comes to all recruits breaking in.
Otlie O'Mara is due to break out in
hits again. He missed out in the Co
lumbus game.
It was cold enough today for the Hot
Stove league to reorganize.
Vice President Smith had a long dis
tance telephone engagement scheduled
todav wtih Barney Dreyfuss. owner cf
the Pittsburg Nationals, and there was
n possibilftv of a deal being made
whereby the Tribe will obtain a pitcher
‘trout t'h* Pirates. Dreyfuss some time
rgo promised the Indians he would ai l
them if he had any good talent left
*,fter Manager Gibson weeded out the
squad, and the Tribe olTl-isls are ff.gur
ir:g on landing a youngster.

Another Jap Net Artist
Conies Up for Attention
According to letters received from Cal
cutta. India, there Is the possibility that
another Japanese wizard of the racquet
may seek to dim some of the glory that j
has fallen to Icblya Kumagae on the
American court j.
The player in question is one discov
ered several years ago by Norman E.
Brookes, the Australian.
He Is .Tenjo Shimidz.it. and mnnv who
have traveled in the orient declare him
to he the superior of Kt magae in his
ability to play with rat speed and
•kill at the baseline same.
Brookes tried Shimidzu out in a spe
cial exhibition at the time of their
meeting, with the result that the Japanese
won.
Shimidzu has Just made a complete
cleanup of the championships at Bengal,
India, according to the letters.
In tbe final singles he defeated bis
opponent in straight sets, and, as it
was his third successive Tictory, took
tbe cup outright.
He won in the doubles wjth another
Japanese, K. Okamoto. as his partner.
He nlso won in th® mixed doubles with
an English woman. Mrs. Keavs.
In all of his matches Shimidzu did not
lose a set.
Several years ago Shimidzu made a
short visit to San Francisco, where he
met several of the stars of the Pacific
coast.
The news of Kumagae) triumphs have
reached him In India, and he is now anx- I
lous to make a trial of his skill in the
American tournaments and test his game
against that of his fellow countryman.
- Must Beat Reds
CHICAGO, April 24.—“ Any team
that can beat the Reds this year will
win the pennant,” said Scout Patsy
Donovan of the Cubs today.
“They look fully as good as they
did last season, and it will take some
great work to defeat them.
“They are sure to be right up in the
race at all times.
“They play a superior article of
ball, and if they get the pitching they
did last season they are going to be
tough customers for the best of
them.
No Kicking Heard
in Big Leagues on
New Pitching Code
Majors Faithfully Living Up
to Rules—lntentional
Pass Still Goes.
NEW YORK, April 24.—N0 riots, blood
shed or fatal trimmings have attended
the enforcement of the new major league
pitching rules.
Htirlers of both leagues are keeping
so close to the law that very few com
plaints have been made.
The Boston Red Sox in a game a few
days ago with the Yanks, accused Bob
Sbawkey of doctoring the bail, but the
umpires could find no evidence.
What effect it has in batting is impos
sible to estimate so early in the season.
However, one result is apparent—the
game has not been speeded up.
The major games so far this season
have averaged two hours and ten min
utes.
Some pitchers, such as Jaek Quinn of
the Yankees, are naturally slow workers
in the box.
Covelesikie. spitball pitcher, and A1
Sothoron. a former "shiner.'' pitched one
of the fastest games of the season In
one hour and thirty-six mtuntes.
The intentional pass -may have been
curbed by the new rules, but it has not
been stopped.
It is Just as easy to get rid of a dan
gerous batter by a base on balls as it
was before.

BOILLOT JOINS 1
PEUGEOTTEAM*
IN SPEED RACE
Sensational Driver Coming
With Goux to Try for 500-
Mile Laurels.
Andre Boillot has been named as sec
ond member of the Peugeot triumvirate
that will endeavor to hoist the tricolor
above the flags of competing nations
during the eighth international 500-mile
sweepstakes on the Indianapolis speed
way, Monday, May 31, according to an
nouncement made at local speedway head
quarters today.
With Jules Goux and Andre Boillot in
the fold, the prospects of the famous
French racing combination being to
assume a decidedly rosy hue, and it it
the freely expressed sentiment of the
wiseacres that Peugeot is the team the
rest of the contenders will have to beat.
BROTHER OF THE
FAMOUS GEORGES.
Andre Boillot looms up as a worthy*
successor to the laurels that crowned the
brow of his famous brother Georges, con
ceded to be the greatest driver who ever
held a steering wheel.
In the last Targo Florio, run over the
difficult mountain passes of Sicily, be
gave the most sensational exhibition of
driving in history, accepting every risk
and registering miraculous escapes no
less than six times.
His final feat of dareoeviltry con
sisted of colliding with the grandstands
to avoid hitting a spectator who had
wandered on the course, and then, finding
himself completely turned aronud. throw
ing on the power and cutting the finish
line in reverse.
During the world war Boillot was a
French ace, and the utter disregard for
safety that he acquired during his nu
merous air combats seems to have per
sisted with him into his racing career.
MET BAD LUCK
IN 1910 EVENT.
Boillot's American racing debut was
made during the Indianapolis contest of
1919, but he met with disappointment on
this occasion, being turned back when
running in thirl position, within twentv
miles of the finish, due to the collapse of
a treacherous wire wheel.
The mount that Boillot ezndied on this
occasion was of the same size as those
being groomed lor this year's classic, and
It was largely due to its excellent show
ing against its larger rivals th.-t the new
speedway racing rules limiting piston
t displacement to IS3 cubic inches were
j placed into effect.
Louis Chevrolet will enjoy the thrill
m competing in the 1920 speedway race
j t-° Fin his owu money, for yesterday this
veteran race pilot presented Ed Reeser
: T - L. Marshall with his cheek for
5100 as his individual contribution to
the merchants and manufacturers laD
prize fund, which i 9 now poing collected.
The $20,000 fund to be distriouted to
; the leading driver in ea-h of the 200 laps
I of the race is rapidly swelling
: Chevrolet will stand an excellent
chance of seeing one of the six speed
! creations which will represent his me
-1 chanical genius in ths race grab the SIOO
prize he is hanging up. Three Monroe
cars depicting hours of attention from
this driver and engineer, who is also
j captain of the team, will make tl.eir
tirst racing expedition Mav 31 and
trio of Frontenaes. which
