Browns Get Second Reverse; Washington Pounds Yan- kees in 9 to 5 Battle (By The Associated Press) | ea Rare eer tet | shape for the coming session, accord- hurling staff. Something like: “Yeah, if it wasn’t for us hitters, where would we be. We wouldn't be riding out in front of the American League if we had waited for you guys to get going.” Anyway, young Wes Ferrell took it upon himself Wednesday to uphold the honor and dignity of the Tribe's 4 curving corps. ‘Wes went the limit to prove his point. He pitched the first no-hit, no-run game seen in the major leagues in nearly two years to lick the St. Louis Browns, 9 to 0. Starting his third campaign in the big show, he allowed only six men to reach first—three on walks and three on er- rors by Bill Hunnefield—and not one of them got as far as second base. He struck out eight and, incidentally, won his fourth victory of the young season. Ferrell further repudiated the Swatsmiths by driving in four runs with a homerun and double. Earl Averill also cracked one into the out- er stands to help hand the Browns their sixth straight reverse and send them into a tie with the Red Sox at the bottom. ‘The last previous no-run, no-hitter was pitched by the Giants southpaw, Carl Hubbell, who victimized the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 8, 1929. ‘The victory kept the Indians a game ‘ond a halt in front of the Washington Senators, who took undisputed pos- session of second place by thumping the crippled Yankees again, 9 to 5. ‘The New Yorkers have dropped four of their last five, with only a 14-inn- ing tie to break the monotony.

St. Louis and Chicago continued their red-hot argument over the Jeadership of the National League, and it still is a dead heat.

Making his second start of the year for the Cards, Jess Haines limit- ed the Pirates to four scattered hits, while his mates got to Kremer and Osborn for 12, Adams and Orsatti each had a double and single. The Cubs nicked Red Lucas for only seven hits, but bunched four of them in the fifth inning to score all their runs.

D. prison baseball team, are going through strenuous practice sessions for their They will cross bats with Kensal Sunday on the prison diamond. Reports received at the Giant camp indicate the Kensal team has an im- pressive battery and a good batting average in games played so far this season. Stoller, Johnson, Evenson, and Lo- dahl, who started the first game for the locals as infielders, are in good ing to Clarence E. Orton, Giant man- ager. All infielders as well as out- fielders are nearing mid-season form, Orton said. “Missouri Slope fans will have a chance to witness a pitching duel Sunday,” Orton says, “When Glenn, prison moundsman, will oppose Clar- ence Jensen, one-time Fargo hurler. “The Kensal outfit can expect a lot of trouble from Garver, Taylor, stakes. and Holland in the outfield. Our out- field is among the best that can be found in the state,” Orton stated. Select Mate as Strong Kentucky Derby Contender Son of Prince Pal Was Third Highest Money Winner of 1930 Track Season Mate, fourth ranking two-year-old of 1930, is being held as the third choice for victory in the Kentucky Derby, May 16. The son of Prince Pal was third highest money winner of the 1930 season and helds a victory over both Equipoise and Twenty Grand. Mate was a busy colt as a old, having started in no less than 15 races, Of the eight races which he won, five of them were important He was third to Jamestown two-year- White Sox tied their high run for the year by making it two straight over Detroit, 3 to 0, They grouped their five hits eff Whitehill, while Thomas ete n- clement weather stopped the Athletics end Red Sox for the fourth straight and Equipoise in the Belmont Putur- ity, and to Equipoise and Twenty Grand in the Pimlico event of the same name. Developed Slowly Mate developed slowly last year, or rather he was not as far alcng as Jamestown and Equipoise. However he thrived on work and came through the season in splendid condition. ‘The Pimlico Futurity was perhaps his best race. He broke in front on a track that was a slough of mud and set a fast pace. Twenty Grand lag- 1,|ged at his heels during the early run- ning, but made his bid during the last sixteenth. Neither horse could with- stand the final rush of Equipoise. They were beaten by less than half a length with Mate third by inches. The race showed that Mate had plen- ty of endurance, could hold a fast pace, as well as run in the mud. Is Distance Runner Mate was bred by his ownez, A. Bostwick, and is trained by Cc. . We Healy. He is a splendid looking ani- mal, large, long coupled, and deep breather.

His breeding, Prince Pal- Killashandra, by Ambassador IV, is of the finest. Prince Pal is gaining quite a little recognition as a gocd sire while Ambassador IV has long been considered one of the best of the breeding lot. Mate is well schooled, is as sound as a dollar, and has gained a lot of weight and strength over the winter.

The Old-Timer selected a nice) leather rocker in the hotel lobby and lit a fresh cigar. “Lessee,” he began, “where'd we leave off—oh, yes, I was goin’ to tell you about Big Ole, the feller that could carry a young hoss on his back. Ole was good as gold, but pretty much of @ greenhorn. In 97, I think it was, he started workin’ for a farmer who showed him how to drive a five-hoss team hitched to a gang plow. The farmer was putty perticuler—told Ole to turn good, square corners—wouldn’t stand for any sloppy work. see how Ole was gettin’ along, and get there just in time to see him stop his plow three feet from the corner, and start turnin’ his team. Lifts Plow Around “ ‘Hey! hey!’ the farmer yelled, ‘that ain't the way I told ye!—I want square corners—do ye hear!’ ” “Oh, das all-right,’ said Ole, and he got off the gang plow, lifted it out of the ground, dirt and all, and squared it around where he wanted the next furrow to be. He told the flabbergasted farmer that he had been turnin’ all his corners that way. “That same fall they was goin’ to have a dance over at Sand Prairie. ‘They had a lot o’ ex-sailors and other kinds 0’ knife-stickers out there and it was the toughest place in the coun- ty. Some of the better fellers asked “Irish Tim” to take charge o’ the dance—he could call square dancet and was good at keepin’ order. “Well, Tim told ’em he didn't mind mixin’ in a good honest scrap once in a while, but he didn’t have no time for them Sand Prairie knife-toters, so they could count him out of it But the boys kept on insistin’, and Tim finally told ’em he'd come if his pal, Big Ole, would go along. ‘Ya sure!’ Ole was right there to vote in favor, and so it was arranged. “When Tim and Ole got to the place where the dance was to be, they decided not to be caught nappin’, so they left their hosses hitched to the buggy and tied ’em behind the barn. Crowd Gets Mean “Things went along putty smooth till midnight, when the tough ones begin to likker up, and Tim had to put a couple o’ them out. Purty soon the whole gang o’ them went outside to hold @ council o' war. Tim knew what was comin’, so he ordered the women upstairs and locked the doors. “when the gang begin to hammer on the front door, Tim had an in- spiration.

In a few seconds Big Ole came lumberin’ through the window, got into the buggy and off they drove, lickety-split. “After they slowed down a bit, Tim asked Ole how many of them fellers he potted, but Ole said they piled in so fast after they busted the door down that he couldn’t keep count— but there must-a been six or seven of ’em. And then to complete the job, Ole said, he picked up the kitchen stove an’ flung it on top o’ the cellar door. ‘Good work,’ said Tim, ‘you ain’t such a chump as I thought you was! Breaks Out of Jail “The boys all liked Big Ole, but they used to pester him a good deal. He had one weakness, you might say—he couldn’t carry much likker, and gen'ly sagged to the floor and fell asleep after the third round. : “One night—it was late in the fall and cold—the town marshal came along and found the big Norsk asleep in the saloon. He thought it’d be a feather in his cap to arrest such a moose of a man, so he carted him off to the calaboose and dumped him in on the bare floor. The jail was one o’ the-1 one-room plank coolers, and stood on a high bluff close to the river. There wasn’t any glass in the window—just a criss-cross o’ iron bars set in a frame o’ brick and cement. “Towards morning Big Ole wakes up a-shiverin’ with cold, and it made him ‘plenty mad’ as he told me after- wards. He jumped to his feet, twisted the iron bars out of the win- dow and crawled out. After takin’ a good look at the jail he said to him- self, ‘hoot-toot! dis ain’t no yail, this is @ doll-house,’ so he spit on his hands, got 2 good hold on the sills and up-ended the jail, so it tumbled into the river and floated off. “Well, Ole hadn't told me half of it. ‘When they found the jail gone the mornin’ after the arrest, there was hell a-poppin’ in the town. Then when they found it down the river a way, half full o’ water, they decided the red-whiskered fella had been drowned, and Irish Tim was for hangin’ the marshal then and. there for committin’ such a crime. They'd a done it too, if they hadn't been short 0’ rope, but just when they were goin’ to send a kid after some, here comes Big Ole out of the »rush with a grin on his face a foot wide and a happy howdy for everybody. It ended with the marshal takin’ the crowd back to town and standin’ the treats all-around.” MAJOR LEAGUE LEADERS he Associated Press) IERICAN LEA 4 AGLE.

See Home Opener ofMilwaukee Team Crowd at Brewer -Park Wins Hickey Attendance Trophy for Shires’ Nine SAINTS NOSE OUT INDIANS Louisville’s Colonels Trim Min- neapolis 6-3 Before Throng of 9,000 Fans Chicago, April 30—(?}—The west- ern section of the American Associa- tion has started to maintain its repu- tation as the attendance leader of the Hickey circuit. Home openers at Milwaukee, Kan- sas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis Wednesday attracted nearly 40,000 customers, about 5,000 better than the eastern half in its inaugurals. The best mark was established at Milwaukee where the burghers go to see a good team, something they be- lieve they have this season. The at- tendance was 13,113 and won the trophy offered by President Thomas Jefferson Hickey for the best opening day crowd. ‘The outcome of the contest was not satisfactory, however, for the Toledo Mudhens hopped onto Claud Jonnard for four runs in the sixth and wound up with a 6 to 1 victory. St. Paul gave home fans a 6 to 5 victory over Indianapolis in 10 inn- ings and came from behind to do it. Oream pitched one inning, Bryan Harriss having retired in the ninth for a pinch batsman, and received credit for the victory. The attend- ance was 9,400. Louisville's Colonels ruined Minne- apolis’ inaugural by trimming the Millers, 6 to 3, before 9,000 fans. Louisville bunched six of its eight nits off Dutch Henry in the first two innings for five runs, while the Mill- ers were unable to figure Ed Walsh dr., until the ninth. The son of the former Chicago White Sox star blew in the ninth and was replaced by Roy Wilkinson. Elias Funk was the main man in the Colonel attack with a double and home run. Kansas City defeated Columbus, 6 to 3, in its opener which attracted a somewhat disappointing crowd of 7,635. ie ene ee eee f Wrestling Results | SO oclated Press) Lumpkin de- Kruskamp, two ont Lumpkin taking the m1 rs Colamius—ii delphia, defeated Jim Jim MeMillen n, Lox Angeles: Ivan Russia, defeated 1 Pojello, Chicago; Mike Romai Italy, threw Jack Wilcox, Okla- Angeles—Everett Marshall, a Junta, Colo, defeated Dr. ‘Cleveland, 0.

Jesse Harper, southwestern Kansas rancher who will arrive in South Bend May 1 to assume the role of athletic director at Notre Dame, ex- plained here that while Rockne was tated highly in 1918 as a football coach, he was “just.a boy” to the au- thorities of the university where he Played as a protege of Harper. “When I told Father Cavanaugh, then president of Notre Dame and one of the most wonderful men I've ever known,” Harper said, “that I had to go and he became convinced I was serious, he asked me if I had anyone in mind for my place.
