STATE MEET, MAY 22.
Purdue University.
B.v CHARLIE LOGAN.
Track is stepping right along beside
basketball among the schools in the In
diana High School Athletic association.
Permanent Secretary A. L. Trester to
day announced that a record number of
schools will compete for honors In the
annual high school track and field sec
tionals to be staged May 15. The cham
pionships are carded at Purdue universi
ty May 22.
Last Tear eight sectionals took care
of all 'the athletes registered in .the
district events, but Mr. Trester has des
ignated ten for this spring and indica
tions arc that more schools will com
pete at each sectional than ever before.
EVENT HERE AT
FAIR GROI NOS.
Indianapolis has been awarded a sec
tional and the event will be staged at
the fair grounds.
Aa in former years there, the field
events will be held immediately in front
of the grandstand and the track battles
will be tough- on the one-mile track
Preparations for the local meet will
be started immediately and one of the
best sectionals Id the history of high
school athletics is predicted by local
officials.
Manual. Sbortridge. Technical, Nobles-
Tille and Bosley were the schools that
fought the Indianapolis sectional fight
last year. These five schools will be seen
in action here again May 15. and it is
probable that a few new banners will
fly in the fair ground grandstand.
Beech Grove, one of this year's new
entries in the 1.. H. S. A. A , is sure oi
competing here. .
The Manual. Shortridse and Tech
squads are gradually getting their bear
ings and are determined to bring the
local sectional honors to this city.
Manual looks like the choice to do
this.
Coach Morrison was fortunate in un
covering a few good new men this sea
son and around them he has built a
formidable looking outfit.
In a three-cornered meet at Willard
park last week. Manual ran up a big
point total on Shortridge and Browns-
U Tbe Tech squad has little to boast of
at this time, but it is working bard at
the east side school and may be able
to stock up in first-class shape in the
district meet.
Evansville and Greencastle are the new
districts named.
According to information from Trester
there will be from five to twenty schools
assigned to each sectional.
*0 SQL ADS IN
LAPORTE MELT.
The Laporte district with twenty en
tries. will set the pace. This is consid
ered the most important of all centers,
as it not only will decide the district
winners, but also the 'taampionshipt of
the Northern Indiana High School Ath
letic association.
Wabash college will conduct the meet
for that district this year, instead of
Crawfordsville High school, which has
been suspended by the I. H. S. A. A. un
til next .Tune for breaking the basketball
eligibility rules.
Entry blanks were sent out to all
schools eligible for competition in the
track events today. These must be filled
out by the respective coaches and re
turned" to Secretary Trester at Laporte
not later than Wednesday. May 5
Immediately after the list closes, the
schools will be assigned.
In view of the fact that the member
ship of the athletic association was boost
ed almost 50 per cent during the past
basketball season, it is only natural that
Trester predicts a record track entry.
Elghtv schools sent thinly clads after
laurels in the classic last year, but more
than 150 have already signified tbelr In
tention* of trying for a place in the track
sun this season.
Coaches throughout the state are
grooming their squad* for the meet and
real battles are expected in every event

EARLY LOSING
STREAK CAUSES
INDIANS WORRY
Tribe Drops Fourth Straight
When Senators Grab
Series Opener.
COLUMBUS, 0., April 28.—Indians and
Senators faced more threatening weather
today in the second game of their series,
but due to the many early postponements
Managers Clytner and Hendricks planned
to send their teams through the paces if
the weather cleared to any extent.
The defeat of the Hoosiers yesterday,
when the locals grabbed the series open
er, 3 to 1, made four straight knockouts
suffered by the Indians, and Manager
Hendricks was a worried man today.
The Kansas City club braced and
whipped the flying Saints a.id if the
Blues start moving, in that manner the
Tribesmen soon will be occuping the
cellar position, unless the Uoosier ath
letes settle down.
George Murray, recruit, went the full
route yesterday and though he gave only
three hits he was mild and issued nu
merous passes and also hit two batsmen.
Even so, Murray would have got along
In good style had it not been for the
cracking of his defense.
Five errors were chalked up against,
the Indians and these, with the wildness
of Murray, gave the Senators their open
ings to push over the runs
The Tribesmen kept up their bitting
throughout the game, but they found
Leftv George tight in the pinches and
most of their eleven blows were wasted.
Six of the Tribe's eleven hits were oh
tatned by Uoosier youngsters. Shlnners,
Wolf and Murray, and that fact ''a*
about the onlv cheer that Manager
Hendricks received out of the afternoon’s
work. a
It was Shtnners - first full game ns a
Tribe outfielder and he performed in ex
cellent style.
Murray, though wild, also demon
strated that be has wonderful gameness
because, despite the fact that he got Into
several boles, he held his nerve and with
good support he would ha-re escaped. His
His Movie Punch
NEW YORK, April 28.—Georges
Carpentier scored a knockout last
night—ln the pictures.
Fighting In white tights and a blue
belt, the hardy Frenchman appeared
In the ring at a movie studio in Ft.
Lee, N. J.
For four rounds his gloves played
against his opponent's like a darting
rapier and then—entirely according to
schedule —the opponent was dropped
with a, few of Carpentler’s choicest
blows.
More than 1,50 ft persons saw the
bout. Among them were MaJ. Gen.
Robert L. Bullard. U. S. A., com
mander of the eastern department;
John Drew and Jimmie Wilde.
hitting also demonstrated that he has
natural baseball ability.
Pug Cavet was the likely pitching
choice for Indianapolis today, if a game
was staged.
Pitcher Jimmy Lynch of the Boston
Red Sox reported to the Indians yester
day and Pitche.r Jess Petty of Cleve
land was due In camp today.
The Tribe scored its lone run yester
day in the fourth frame on singles by
Schreiber. Wolf and Shlnners.
The Senators evened it up when Magee
scratched a single, advanced on Braln
erd's sacrifice and moved to third on
O'Mara's error.
Wagner forced Brainerd at second, but
in trying to complete a double play,
Schreiber threw high at the plate. Ma
gee scaring and Wagner reaching second.
Bad fielding and Murray's wildness
were jointly responsible for the second
Columbus run.
With one man gone in the sixth, Brain
erd singled to eenter for the first real
bit for the Senators. Wagner sent a
long fly to Sbinners on which Brainerd
was able to reach second.
Murray purposely passed Pechous to
get at George, but the latter got on.
through Murray’s high throw to first.
That filled the bases and Murray was
unable to get the ball over for Bescber,
who walked, forcing in a run.
The final Columbus score came in the
seventh.
Taggart walked und Magee sacrificed
Wolfer bounded to Murray, who threw
to O'Mara In ampl** time to nab Taggart,
but Oille dropped the assist.
On a double steal Wolf held the ball
so long that the steal went through,
Taggert scoring and Wolfer reaching
second
Around the A. A.
The Toledo club won the league open
ing day attendance troph'y ‘when 14,493
fans paid to see Roger Bresnahan’s out
fit crack open the home session yester
day. President Tom Hickey of the A. A.
was present end he ordered the trophy
delivered to the Hens. The Toledo ath
letes downed the Colonels in ten innings
after an uphill fight and the thousands
of fans present cracked their throats
c-heetlng for the home team. Jimmy
Middleton, who defeated the Indians in
the opener here, hurled the Toledo vic
tory yesterday.
The Blues stopped ‘‘Them Saints”
b.v a neat trimming yesterday. Won
ders inner cease.
The 1920 race is now on. The Saints
have lost.
Pretty tough on the Louisville club of
ficials to he in on that, Toledo opener.
When the A. A. cards were shuffled for
the schedule drawing the Colonel repre
sentative evidently pulled an ••acer” out
of the old sleeve.
It's time for the Indians to go on the
warpath.
Oille O'Mara. who seldom makes an
error, had his bad day yesterday.
When the Tribe finds its fielding stride
it will start for the top. Errors have
■cost it three games out of the few played.
The Indians are stopping at the New
Southern hotel In Columbus. Not much
sleep in Manager Hendrick's room.
•Milwaukee put over an extra inn
ing tletory yesterday with Jake
Northrop, former Indian, on the
mound.
The race is young and the schedule
