Loudermilk was purchased two years ago by the St. Louis Americans from the Louisville American association team. Last season Detroit purchased him. He won thirteen and lost nine- teen games last season. If Manager Fohl can cure Loudermilk of his wildness he will surely add strength to the Cleveland pitching corps.

Any one who figures that Charles Francis Moran has surrendered his destiny to Fate after the Willard affair is floundering down an offside byway. The big Irishman still b lieves down in the pit of his red heart that he will yet be champion of the world, for he is confident that within another year increasing weight will force Willard from the ring. “In the first place,” “Willard doesn’'t care about the game. In the second place, he put on over fifteen pounds in a year that even hard training couldn’t take away. By another year he will be heyond training down for any twenty- yound fight.

Pat remembers well enough last season, when he was doomed, in the Dope, to finish a rickety fifth. So being picked to finish third or fourth isn’t scrambling up his sleep this April morning. All the dope now extant can’t make Pat believe he hasn't a much better ball club than he had a year ago. Grover the Great looks as puissant as of old. Mayer and Demaree are in fine shape. And with warm weather on, Pat expects fine work from no less a citizen than Charles Albert Bender, the renowned Chippew: Chief. The Chief is in rare shape, and is willing to sign from four to six affidavits that his arm was never het- ter. And if Charles Albert of the Chippewas has another of his oldtime years, the Phillies will bear all the Of the big squad . on—eight of IN OVERTINE GANE Giants Make Bow to Metropolis Fans by Taking Comt New York, April 21.—The Indian- apolis Fed Champions of 1914, sup- ported by several loyal Giants gave the Philadelphia National Leazus Champions of 1915 a tough ramble on the Polo Grounds yvesterday, and the Indianapolis bunch did not yield until the twelfth round, when a pair of busting Phils—Paskert and Cra- vath—melded a double and a single into the winning run. The Quakers conquered 7 to 6. | The occasion marked the opening of a new National League grind on | the Polo Grounds. Tn other words, the open Benny Kauff season is now on in Harlem. By the way if the 1916 openings of the Greater New York teams are any tip on what will | @ follow, there will be a grand little baseball riot in this city next summer.

Flowers For Per Boston, April 21.—Members of the class of 1899 of Harvard presented President Percy Haughton of the lo- cals with a huge floral horseshoe just before the Braves and the Superbas threw out skirmishing lines for the opening game of the season here in the big ball park in Allston yesterday afternoon. But even the ancient hoo- doo couldn’t prevent the hired men of George Stallings from massacreing the minions of Uncle Wilbert Robin- son.

Pittsburgh, April 21.—St. Louis de- feated Pittsburgh, 5 to 0, in the open- ing game of the local season vester- day. The visitors scored three runs in the second inning on triples by Long, Betzel and Hornsby and Sny- der’s sacrifice fly. Two more were tallied in the seventh on hits by Bes- cher, Beck and Smith and Viox's er- ror. Manager Callahan of the Pirates was ordered off the field in the first inning for disputing a decision. He is the first big league manager to be sent to the clubhouse this season. The score: e.
