Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SOUTH BEND, Ind, April 12.-The col
Iegiate baseball season in Indiana will
open this month, when Notre Dame will
begin the Western championship series by
playing Wisconsin. April 20. Previous TO
this game Notre Dame will have six prac-
tice games with the Chicago American
League team.
The baseball season in Indiana this year
will keep the rooters of Indiana, Purdue
and Notre Dame on a verge of excitement,
as the teams are very evenly matched.
During the last four years Notre Dame
has had a team which was in a class by
itself when the other Indiana colleges were
considered, but this season Notre Dame,
because of the loss of most of last years
nine, will have weak team, but equal in
strength, it is believed to Indiana and
Purdue. This year Notre Dame will have
only three veterans, Captain Lynch,
Catcher O'Neil and Outfielder Farley. The
varsity will sadly miss the pitching of
Gibson and Fleet. the home runs of Nor
gan and the sensational fielding of Walsh
and Bergan. all star players Notre
Danes schedule is as follows.
April and 4, Culver at Notre Dame; IA
to 10 (siX games), Chicago at Notre Dame
and South Bend; "a, Wisconsin at Notre
ana at Bloomington; 80, De Paw at Green
castle; May l, Wabash at Charlottesville;

mouth; "a, Knox at Galesburg; June 5.
Minnesota at Minneapolis; z, Purdue at
NOtre Dame.
At Indiana University the students are
confident of winning the state champion
ship, although the team which will repre-
sent Indiana this season is a team of com
paratively new men. Few of last year S
men are back but to fill these places will
| be a number of cracks from other Western
| colleges. They will compose the strongest
| aggregation that has ever received coach
| ing on the local diamond, and Coach J. T..
| Horne states that the team will also hold
| its own with the Big Nine.
At Purdue University Manager Charles I.
| Freeman is very jubilant over the material
| from which TO select ball team this year.
| OF the old men who will be in the field this
year are Ruby the captain; Mckee, Leslie,
| Cornell and Hardy, who was last year pre-
vented by injuries from taking an active
| part, will be ready this year. OF the new
| men Manager Freeman speaks glowingly of
| Alb Cohen, shorstOp; McManus at first;
| Burger, Fox and Collins, the last two as
pitching material; and with Gazette Ritter
and Rogers, he feels certain he will be
| able to pick a winning team. The team
will be coached by Walter Freil.

the purpose OF selecting a relay squad 10

on Marshall field. and some Of the biggest
colleges in the West are 10 be represented
The team winning the meet will have its
expenses paid TO and from Chicago and
SlO0 paid toward the expenses at the final
meet at Philadelphia. 1t is more than like
ly that the Shortridge High School will send
team TO the meet, those prominent
in athletic circles in the school believe a
team can be chosen which will compare
favorably with any at the try-out Another
incentive TO send a relay squad TO Chicago
on April 10 is the boost which the winning
of such race would give the schools ath-
letics.
The showing several of the boys have
recently made while training at Newly
Oval caused Captain Masters and Manager
Johnson to consider the invitation from
Chicago. The candidates for the runs have
been making time lately that would at least
give the High School boys a look in" at
such meet as the one under consideration.

MEMPHIS. April ia steady downpour

the post. Dick Furber held first place in
the betting. Lovers of the spectacular had
all they could wish for. The only unpleas-

heavily played Governor Boyd over the
first hurdle and the serious injury TO
Jockey Sutherland. Mazo made the run
ming for more than half the distance and
took the jumps like a veteran. At the
ninth jump Johnson sent Dick Furber for
ward and seemingly without effort he over
hauled the leader. The others closed up,
and, turning into the stretch, the race was
an exciting one. Furber, however, had all
the speed on the fat, and drawing away

The stake was worth about $1,000 to the
winner.
The third race, at a mile, showed hot

FRANI<LIN'S VICTORY DUE TO RIV-

Game-NOtre Danes Schedule

The Franklin College baseball team de-
feated Shortridge in a we'll played and in
teresting game at the Business Mems Driv-
ig Park yesterday afternoon by score of
to 6. A small crowd witnessed the con-
test, but the enthusiasm of the few faith
full "rooters" made the spectators forget
the cold wind.
Both teams put up a good game, and
most of the errors were caused by the
rawness of the day Rivers the Franklin
pitcher, won the contest for his team and
was the star of the game, striking out
eighteen men. Kearney, who did the twirl-
ing for the High School nine, also pitched
a good game and struck out ten of the col
lege batters. During the first few innings
it looked like a pitchers battle, but later
both teams began to find the ball and each
side added runs TO the tally sheet.
Outside of Rivers there was no star play
ing done by any of the college men, but
the throwing to bases by Coburn Allen,
the base running and fielding of Connof
and the all around playing of Gibbs, who
put up the best game for Shortridge, were
the features of S. II. SIS play.
In the first four innings the visitors sue
ceeded in scoring four runs, while the
ShOrtridge team got only two men across
the plate. The first one Of these was
scored by Connor, who did the trick alone.

and home. Neither team got man around
the circuit in the next three innings. which
witnessed excellent pitching by both of the
men on the slab and many pretty catches
by the fielders.
In their half of the eighth the visitors
scored one. High School stock went up in
the last half of this inning when Short
ridge struck a batting streak, which, to-
gether with the energetic roofing" led by
HAY Clark, sent Rivers up in the air
and four runners crossed the plate. Hits
by Walden and Webb, errors and a base or
balls, tied the score and caused the blue
and white followers to look anxious. More
errors at critical times put the college boys
one in the lead, which was not overcome
