Indians Make 1921 Bow
in Contest With Reds
Fans Get Chance to See New
Members of Tribe Per
form.
OPENING PLANS GROW
With the gladsome welcome-home fes
tivities under their belts, the 1921 In
dians today were ready to make their
Initial bow before Washington Park fans
in an exhibition contest with the Cincin
nati Reds and, due to the fact that so
many glowing things have been said of
the caliber of this season's lloosier squad,
■ large crowd of diamond enthusiasts
waia expected to be on hand to see the
Hendrlcksmen tangle with Pat Moran's
National Leaguers. The game was card
ed to start at 3:30 o’clock.
Rube Marquard. famous sonthpaw who
got his start in this city under Charlie
Carr some years ago, was down on the
books to hurl against the Tribe this aft
ernoon and opposing him was to be
Sterling Stryker, the big right-hander of
the Indians. Sammy Crane, former local
shortstop, was to appear at that position
with the Cincy boys and Bubbles Har
grave, former St. Paul catcher, was ex
pected to do the backstopping for the
Visitors.
ATTREAC GETS
CHANCE TO PLAY.
Big Tex Covington was unable to ap
pear at his first base position for the
Indians today, but he has an able sub
stitute in Dick Attreau and this young
fellow was assigned the job. Attreau
displayed marked ability in the South
and, though a little green at the position,
he gave so much promise that Manager
Hendricks means to retain him for a
thorough trial. Bob Klnsella was slated
to get back in the game after two weeks
absence because of an Injured thumb.
He was to cover right field, leaving
center field to Shinners and left field to
Rehg.
In today's Tribe Une-up the fans were
to see many new faces. In addition to
Klnsella and Attreau, other players new
Tex Is Captain
Tex Covington, slugging first base
man, who at present is on the Tribe
crippled list, today was appointed 19.1
captain of the Indians by Manager
Hendricks. The big feilow was mod
est about accepting the honor, but he
is not expected to be modest when it
comes to carrying out the duties of
the field leadership.
Covington is the oldest player in
point of service on the local infield
and well deserves the captaincy. He
is also big and bold enough to walk
In on any argument and command
attention. At least it is not thought
that any one will care to push Tex
out of the war.
to the fans in the line-up today were to
be Sicking, second base; Baird third
base and Dixon, catch.
The Red3 are here for two days, after
which the Tribe will meet the Butler
College boys Friday. Detroit Americans
Saturday and Sunday and Cleveland
Americans Monday. When these contests
have been played the Indians will be
properly tuned up for the opening of the
American Association season next
Wednesday, and from all indications it
is going to be the biggest baseball open
ing, the city ever has seen.
-boosters swing
INTO ACTION.
Starting Tuesday, when the Indians
landed back home from the Southland,
the local baseball boosters swung Into
action and the organized punch being
given the coming event surely will have
gathered a powerful kick by next
Wednesday when the Columbus team in
vades the city to crack open the A. A.
schedule on the Tribe's home lot.
The American Club took the welcome
home situation in band Tuesday and met
the players at the station with a iieet of
autos. Following a short parade, tao
playera were taken to the Lincoln Hotel
for a baseball luncheon, at which d.a
mon enthusiasm mounted to dizzy
heights.
TRIBE NEWS AND NOTES.
Opposing big league clubs is a real
job these days, but the Indians belieie
they are capable of bolding their own
and do not believe that any defeatt will
dim the enthusiasm of the A. A. open
ing next Wednesday. The reason that
big league exhibition games are a task
now is because all the major outfits are
in form and striving to show at their
best pace. The exhibition games are
necessary, however, because of the good
practice they afford, and also because
they give Indianapolis fans an oppor
tunity of seeing many of the famous
major players in action.
Members of the Indians scattered
quickly Tuesday, following the baseball
luncheon in order to get located for
their long stay in the "No Mean" city.
It was plainly seen that Hank Schrei
ber was not a stranger in Indianapolis.
The barscball boosting delegation was
not the only party to greet Hank at the
station.
A few of the Indians found time to
take a short work-out at Washington
Park late Tuesday afternoon. The entire
squad was called out for practice this
morning and sent through fielding and
batting drills by Manager Hendricks.
Demand for opening day tickets is
heavy, but Washington Park Is a big
place and Secretary Clauer says there are
Plenty of choice seats available. It's
a wise fan, though, who gets bis seat
eariy.
Don’t overlook the fact that Ty Cobh,
Ownle Bush aid other Detroit stars will
be here for play Saturday and Sunday.
If the weather is cicar and warm Sun
day the park is expected to be thronged.
Owner Smith says he would not trade
the Washington Park playing field for
Dixieland's entire stock. Ground keeper
Dave Johnson has the diamond manicured
in big league style.
“Gone to the ball game, where you
ought to me,’’ is the booster tag being
distributed by tho opening day commit
tee. It's a novel scheme that is bound to
get results, it will be hung on office
doors next Wednesday.
Mayor Jewett has Invited Mayor
Thomas of Columbus, Ohio, to come to
Indianapolis next Wednesday to see the
Indians maul the Senators.
The boosters believe they
hare a firth chance of copping the Ameri
can Association trophy for the highest
opening day attendance. "Give us the
weather and we’ll do the rest," they say.
All kinds of cups are being offered sot
opening day stunts, thus proving that
there is still some use for cups.
The American Association umpires are
to confer next Thursday to tune up on
the rules. Here's hoping that Indian
apolis draws u pair with good eyes.
Manager Greeley of Loew's State
Theater today extended an invitation to
both the Indianapolis and Cincinnati
players to attend tonight’s performance
there as guests of the house. It will be
a box party auun.
Ray Fisher, Cincinnati National League
pitcher, may leave the team to accept a
position as baseball coach at the Uni
versity of Michigan. He would take the
place of Derrlli Pratt, formerly of the
New York Americans, who has left the
college to join the Boston Red Sox. Fisher
received a telegram from the athletic di
rector at Ann Arbor asking him to come
there for a conferenc in regard to terms.
Manager Moran has given the pitcher per
mission to leave the team in Indianapolis
tonight to go to Michigan to look over
the ground.
More Opening-Day Pep
Spread by the Kiwanis
and Marion Club Fans
President Remster A. Bingham of the
Marion Club called a baseball meeting
of club members for today noon, at which
time plans are to be completed for the
Marion Club's participation in the pa
rade for the opening day game next
Wednesday. Tickets were also to be
distributed at the meeting for seats in
the section reserved in the grand stand
The club has a large supply of these,
but the enthusiastic response of the mem
bers point to the probability that an
even larger supply will have to be ob
tained. The club membership seems in
tent on being a strong contender for
one of the two parade cups offered by
Leo Krauss for the organization having
the biggest per cent of its members in
the parade and at the game. There is
aiso a ladies’ parade cup for which the
members of the City aud Altrusa Clubs
and others will contend.
Today the Kiwanis Club was to wel
come Jack Hendricks and Owner Smith
at its noon meeting, make its parade an
nouncement and distribute tickets for
the club reservation at the game. The
American and Service Clubs have their
plans all set for the copping of the cups.
The Service Club has already engaged
the trucks that will carry its big delega
tion in the street spectacle and to the
game. The keen rivalry already aroused
promises a very big parade and one that
will dim the glories of last year's event.
To round out the fun of the occasion,
two trophies will be offered to the best
decorated cars in the line of march. One
of these will go to the woman drivin,,
the best appearing and decorated ca,
and there will also be a mans prize so.
the best dressed buzz wagon piloted by
a gentleman fan The woman’s prize will
be a selection of records donated by the
Pearson Plano Company, while L. G.
Deschler will contribute a box of cigars
for tbe mere man who has nrtistic ideas
of decoration. George B. Wellbuum, gen
eral chairman of the committees In
charge of the celebration of the da.,

much bigger than a drink of water. Gor

also looked good in his first appearance.
Many? of the regulars from last year

will report in splendid shape. Mackey,

cured last season from Texas, is en route

St. Louis Fans Back
Clubs That May Do
Some Funny Things
Cards and Browns Both Seem
to Rate Dark Horse
Classification.
ST. LOUTS, April 6.—A pair of dark
horses and an outside chance to grab one
of the pennants. This is the baseba'l
situation in St. Louis, where the fan*
are so used to disappointments that they
have long since ceased to make predic
tions.
With the baseball season due to crack
open a week from today, it is timely to
record that tho Browns and Cardinals
are very much in the dark horse class
teams that seem destined to command
wholesale respect from the best clubs in
both leagues.
(if the two, the chances of the Browns
look a trifle tho better, though they will
have to face stiffer opposition in New'
York and Cleveland than any National
League club could give them.
Lee Fohl s team is in great condition.
Fohl has a club with terrific batting
power. It led the American League iu
11*20 with a team average of .30$. Its hit
ting this season promises to be just as
stroug us ever. What the Browns mast:
show is better pitching and snappier
fielding.
The Browns’ regular line-up probabr*.
will find Jacobson, Williams and Tobin
patrolling the gardens, Slsler at first,
Gleason, a newcomer, at second; Gerber
at short and Smith at third, with Severeid
and Billings to do the receiving. Shocker,
Davis, Sothcron, Burweli. Cullop and
Bayne will be depended upon
to shoulder the pitching burden, and in
tlie case of the Browns, pitching is go
ing to determine their position at the
close of the season.
The Cardinal Une-up Is uncertain, eve*
at this late date, because Milton Stock
has refused to report. Manager lUckey
is also undecided about bis outfield.
Lika the Browns, tbe Cardinals should
show great batting power, and shouio
.Stock come to time. Rickey could soon
solve his infield problem.
Fournier will play first for Rickey.
Jauvrin or Toporcer, probably the for
mer, will play second base if Hornsby rs
kept on third because of Stock's absence;
Johnny Lavan will be at short. The out
field jobs are between McHenry, Mann,
Mueller, Heath' ote, Schultz an 1 Shotiew.
Behind the bat will be Clemons. DU
hoofer and McCarty. In the box, Kicks*
has Schupp. I>osk. Haines, Goodwin. May,
I Sherdeil. Walker, Pertlca and Riviere, the
iu-t three named newcomers of excep
tional promise who may give the Card
staff the balance it needs.
Like the Browns, the Cards were the
batting champions of their league lass
y ear. They are tiouud to be "bad actors
with the bludgeons once again.
There's never any telling what n hai.
club will do if it once gets a-going. Look
back a couple of seasons to the Braves
of 1914 and you can realize why the
Browns and Cardinals have that decided
dark horse complexion.

GASOLINE is the major product made
by the Standard Oil Company (Indi
ana) and in the manufacture of this
most essential product of petroleum, this
Company stands in the lead.
But gasoline is only one of the many prod
ucts sent to the world with the unqualified
guarantee of this organization; for as a
manufacturer of lubricants it stands among
the leaders.
No service performed by this Company is
more important, more essential or more
far-reaching than the work it is doing to
keep the machinery of the world running
smoothly and efficiently.
Os the many lubricating oils and greases
sent out under its name, none is more
widely known or more universally accepted,
than those bearing the Polarine brands.
Polarine is a perfect motor oil. It was tirst
introduced to the motoring world in 1908
when 1100 gallons were sold. Year by year
the demand has increased until in 1920,
23,979,050 gallons were manufactured and
sold to the car owners in the Middle West
When first introduced there was but one
grade of Polarine oil. Now there are four,
each designed to meet the need of certain
types of engines.
The development of four grades of oil, one
of which will correctly lubricate any type or
make of internal combustion engine, is but
one of the essertial sendees performed by
the research department of mis Company.
But lubricating motor vehicles is but a small
item when the lubricating sendee of the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is con
sidered. Every type of machinery has been
studied and an oil or grease perfectly
adapted to keep the bearings running
smooth and cool has been produced.
From the flying spindles of the loom to the
ponderous bearings of the steel roller, each
problem presented has been met squarely,
fairly and with a deep understanding that to
meet its needs was not only good business,
but was essential if the Company was to
live up to the ideals of service, to which
it is committed
While lubricating the wheels of the world is
highly essential, it is but one of the many
branches of service which the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) is organized to perform.
In every department of its complex and
highly specialized business, the same ideals
of thoroughness, integrity and efficiency
are insisted upon. The underlying principle
in all is to give a maximum of service at a
minimum of expense.

REAL PLAYERS
STEP UP FROM " 1
MINOR LEAGUES
At Least Eight Major Clubs
Will Start With Youngsters
in Harness.
NEW Y’ORK, April 8. —A few real big
league finds have been dug up so fait
by the spring test of Last fall's bush
crop.
More than the usual number came up |fo#
trial with the major league clubs this
season and more than the usual will
remain In fast company, not only be
cause of striking ability but also because
there were more Jobs open than ue^aL
Toporcer, the goggled baseman,
Joe Tierney, slugging inflelder, pickets
up by the Pirates, were the only ones
who stepped in and took a job under
real competition.
The Cincinnati Reds picked up •
valuable trio in Bohne. Fonseca and
Hargrave. Bohne and Fonseca, however,
had to be taken because Pat Moran had
no one else for second and third base
as a result of his hold-outs.
The Giants made a find in Goldie Rapp,
who went up from the Association, but
he stepped into an open Job. Rapp is no
kid, however. He's 29 years old and has
been up before.
Cobb has Lee Blue, who is making his
second bid for major league honors at
first base for the Tigers.
Lee Fohl is trying to fill the shoes of
Joe Gedeon with Bill Gleason, a 26-year
old prospect from Chattanooga. He also
fell into an emergency job.
Frank Brazlll, ah ard-hittlng young
ster, perhaps will make the first base Job
for Connie Mack’s Athletics, but he like
wise came at a time when Mack would
gamble with most any prospect
The Chicago White Sox are forced to
give a whole raft of rookies a chance to
fill the places made vacant by the ban
ishment of the “black sox."
Brooklyn and Cleveland, last year’s
champions have practically no new faces,
banking entirely upon the veterans who
■weathered the fight last season.
