NEWS of the DAY IN

Indians Do Well Enough
Against Major Leaguers
Rain of the morning today caused the
cancellation of the second contest of
the two-game series between Cincy Reds
and Indians, and as a result the ball
players were not called out for the
scheduled action at Washington Park
this afternoon. The Cincy athletes im
mediately started racking up to more
to other fields, while the Indians, the
new ones, particularly, occupied the day
by getting better acquainted with the
city.
The Queen City team copped the honors
yesterday, 0 to 6, in a game that pleased
about 2,000 fans who turned out to get
their first 1922 taste of the national
pastime. The Reds managed to keep just
about two jumps ahead of the Tribe
hopefuls all along the line, but the locals
found some consolation in the fact that
they collected eleven hits for six runs off
the major pitching.
With the exception of the batteries the
line-ups used yesterday will be the prob
able starting line-ups for both Indians
and Reds opening day when they start,
their respective Association and National
League seasons April 12.
The youthful Purcell, Central League
rookie,'caused amazement by slamming
out a home run and three-bagger off the
Red pitchers. Harry is of the slugging
type and will make a strong bid for a
berth here. His throwing arm seems to
lack distance, but if he can pound the
ball far enough he'll be worth holding.
The infield of the Indians looked like
the e*P3 old big league stuff. Baird
made a bobble on a chance for a double
play, but he got one man find the slight
fumble was excusable at this early date
and on the newly sodded iniield.
Hank Schrelber was a whiz at short,
handling nine chances In ripping style.
He got the ball away so fast that even
the Reds took notice.
Picking ard Covington handled every
thing la easy, effective style.
Ernie Kueger caught the entire game
for the Indians and convinced the fans
he Is quite a performer.
Baird and the pit- -era were the only
Indians not hitting. i
Hong showed a flash of his old speed
In the seventh, when he sprinted from '
first ts third on an infield out. Doug ]
wa sthe base thief champ of the A. A. j
last season aad his legs appear strong
enough to carry him to another p*.faring i
title.
Bubbles Hargrave, former St. Baal
catcher was behind the hat for the Reds. !
Ho was bubbling over with base hit*,
getting two doubles and a single. |
walked once, giving him a perfect
Sw at bat.
Dufican, Cincy left fielder, came
through with a pair of doubles.
Neale. Clncr right fielder, was the
coach last fall of the famous Washing- j
ton-Jefferson football team that had an
undefeated season and which held the
California eleven to a scoreless tie at the
Tournament Roses, New Years day. he
didn't do It, however, without the aid of
at least one Indiana athlete, Neal, a
former Wabash College tackle, being one
of his regulars.
Caveney, short stop and Pinelll, third
base, were obtained from the Coast
League by the Reds. Pine'.ll played here
before when he was a member of the De
troit Tigers.
Though the hyphenated term is not
used these days, still the Cincy infield
presents an unusral layout. Jake Dau
bert at first, in the old days, could be
termed a German-Americaa; Fonseca, at
second, a Portuguese-American; Caveney ;
at short, an Irish-Amerlcaa: Pinelll at
third, an Italian-American, and Bohne the |
other first 6tring inficider, a Jewish- i
American.
The game today was scheduled to get
under way at 3 o'clock.
Empires Geisel and Gardner are offi
ciating this series. Geisel goes to the In- !
ternational League this season. Gardner .
is a former minor league player and
manager. He served three years overseas
with the Canadian forces and has a Bn- !
tlsh milltarv medal for distinguished
service in tne field and two medals for
Trthletic work connected with his soldier- ‘
ing His team won the Army baseball :
title of the British Isles in 1918 In a big
game at the Queen's Club. London. He
was a corporal with a Canadian engineer
ing outfit.
The Indians will play the Butler Col
lege nine at Washington Park tomorrow.
•On Friday the Tribe will motor to Green
castle to play De Pauw. Ty Cobb's De
troit Tigers come here Saturday and
Sunday for games.
ASK WAIVERS ON TOUNG.
DETROIT. April 5 —Waivers have been
asked by Managpr Cobb of the Detroit
Americans on “Pep” Young, veteran sec
ond baseman. In announcing bis decis
ion to drop Young, Cobb said he wished
to fill the place at second perffianently,
and was doubtful whether the veteran
would regain his old-time form. Young's
erratic throwing last season caused him
to be dropped for a time from toe reg
ular line-up.* This spring he went to the
training camp confident he would hold
his birth, but his old diffienlty devel
oped again in a game at Augusta Sat
urday.

Smartness Really a Chief Asset
Pitching Is unquestionably the best asset of a ball team.
Without good pitching a ball club doesn’t get very far these days.
Os course there are other things required in baßeball aside from pitching.
A batting offensive Is very necessary. Fielding Is a consideration. Base
running also has Its place.
However, one feature that enters Into the makeup of every successful ball
club usually receives little or no consideration when discussing a team's
strength.
In baseball there Is a phrase used which best tells what I mean. “It Is
a smart ball club" is the way players refer to teams that are quick to take
advantage of opportunities.
I have known of a dozen clubs that had great pitching, plenty of hitting,
fielding and base running, yet never won a pennant.
They were not smart ball clubs.

Omaha Boy Takes Swing ala Ruth
The f|fty-slx-ounce bat Is a myth In baseball.
Babe nutb Is supposed to swing a flfty-six-ouncer. That Is twelve ounces
more than Ruth's bats actually weigh. Ruth swings a forty-four-ounce
stick.
The heaviest bat used In baseball this year Is wielded by Floyd Caves
Herman, first baseman for the Omaha club in the Western League.
Herman Is Detroit property. H<* tried out with Detroit this spring and
is farmed to Omaha for the year. He is a native Californian and played with
the Edmonton team in the Western Canaria League last season.
Detroit was attracted to Herman by his batting ability. He Is only 18 years
of age, stands six feet two Inches In height, weighs 198 in playing form,
had but one year’s experience in professional baseball, but he Is a natural
batsman, a free swinger.
Herman's shoulders are as powerful as Ruth's and he Is a slugger to the
“manner” born. Ho takes what ball players describe as “a nasty cut” at
the ball and he swings from the ear. He ‘drives ’em a mile.”
When Herman reported at the DetAdt camp last August he brought
along a bat weighing forty-eight ounces. A few days later there arrived six
more bats weighing forty-eight ounces each and with the name “Lefty Her
man" burnt into the business end of the hickory.
Herman’s bats are two inches longer than the bats used by Harry Heilmann,
who Is just as big as Herman and who is the American League’s hatting
champion.

SWIMMING
NET SCHEDULES
TO BE SHORTER
State High Schools Vote for
Fewer Basket Tilts Next
Season.
Answers to the questionnaires sent
out by the State high school athletic
board of control have been received,
and the majority of answers overwhelm
ingly favor the suggested changes of
the board. The resolution limiting the
high school schedule to sixteen games
received the most opposition, many
thinking that sixteen games were not
enough. A great many favored twenty
games. The suggested opening date of
Oct. 1 was favorably received, few an
swers suggesting any change.
That no games shall be played after
the State tourney by either schools or
players was practically unanimously ac
cepted. Allowing only live games per
month also went over favorably. Re
garding the one extra tourney of six
teen teams stipulated by the question
naire there seemed to be some difference
of opinion, a good many favoring more
than one extra ton. ney or no legislation
concerning them. The consensus of
opinion disfavors out-of-the-State tour
neys. The rule allowing only first
teams to enter tourney play was ac
cepted. The penalty of suspension for
violation of the rules also went over by
a large majority.
The questionnaire system of settling
the rules In question seems to be rather
unfair to the minority because it allows
no chance for discussion which might
throw a different light upon the matters.
It takes more than a “yes" or “no” to
reply to the various suggestions. Opin
ion seems general that the board of
control should consider the situation
very carefully before making any dras
tic changes.

Dempsey-Wills Go
Looms in Future
if Jersey Is Kind
Black and White Contest
Looked on as Best Bout
for Jack.
BY DAVIS WALSH.
NEW YORK, April s.—lt is now being
set forth in all good faith that Jack
Dempsey, blond, and Harry Wills,
brunette, are to put on thair proposed
heavyweight championship bout at
Jersey City in the not too distant
future, Flournoy, and the emin
ent Mr. Rickard, who collaborated on the
Wlllard-Dempsev affair at Toledo, are to
be promoters, it seems, and nothing
whatever is to home of it unless Jersey
politicians respond to kind treatment.
Dempsey is due to reach New York in
a day or so and will sail for Europe
on the Aquitanla April 11, but before he
goes he will be shown the dotted line
and asked to do his duty.
However, If Jersey Is disposed to look
unkindly upon this extravaganza in
black and white there will be no bout
at all and Dempsey will be constrained
to peddle his highly esteemed services
around Europe.
Europe seems to have become quite
philosophical about Dempsey. It is ad
mitted over there that he is better than
any man the whoie world can muster,
therefore why make him prove it?
That being the case, it is altogether
likely that if anything can be done
about a Wills contest in this country,
the champion will not fight In Europe.
The bouts he has in prospect there with
Bombardier Wells, Joe Beckett and Car
pentier are not particularly alluring
from a financial standpoint. These are
being viewed abroad as nothing more
than exhibitions and no fighter ever
buttered his bread with exhibition
money.
This makes the Wills proposition look
very tidy If It can be put over.
Deal and Kerr
CHICAGO, April s.—Charles (Chuck)
Deal, former third baseman for the Cubs,
was due in town today to report to the
new City Hall team of the Mid-West
League, managed by Frank McNlcbols.
Deal and Dick Kerr, former Sox star
hurler, will play with the City Hall
team in practice games Saturday and
Sunday against the Firemen at De Paul
field. Kerr will arrive Friday, George
Carlson, city commissioner of gas and
electricity, and organizer of the City Hail
team, announced Tuesday.

15-Round Scrap to Decision
Heads Ft. Harrison Card
Thursday.
With four bouts on the weekly program
of the Et. Benjamin Harrison Boxing
Club tomorrow and Chuck Wiggins, this
city's light heavy star and .Tack Moran,
St. Louis battler, scheduled to meet' over
the fifteen-round route to a decision in
the main go, the largest crowd that ever
attended a fisticuff card at the local Army
post is expected to bfe on hand. The first
scrap will get under way at S:ls o'clock.
Many fans will motor out from the city
for the event, while others will ride the
traction. Cars leaving tiie Terminal Sta
tion at 7:30 will get the fans to the ring
side in ample time for the first prelim.
Both Moran and Wiggins have put in
some hard training for this match, for a
fifteen round bout is no easy task. The
referee will give a decision if the bout
goes the limit. Chuck is anxious to show
at his best before the home fans and
plans to give the big Missouri scrapper
a busy evening. Moran is big and
rugged and well able to rough it, but
Wiggins believes he can show the visitor
a few things In glove science.
The bout tomorrow will be held in a
different arena than the former weekly
shows. It is estimated 3,000 spectators
can be conveniently handled. Tickets
have been meeting a ready sale at various
downtown points. If the Wiggins-Morau
match draws well enough, Captain Coul
ter, post athletic officer, plans to stags
more long decision bouts.
