OF HENS HERE
Toledo Team Opens Series at
Tribe Park-IndianS
Trim Senator's.

The Toledo Hens were in town today
for their first visit Of the season here.
The boys from the banks IT tue Maumec
have been kicking up some Gust recently
and warm series is promised ut wash
ihgton Park while they are i'll action
with the IL 1ianS.
The Hens are carrying a number of
new men this season. the latest addition
being Out fielder Lee King, who threat
ems to become one of the leagues lead
ing sluggers. The Hen infeld has been
made over and the fans will be interest
Ing in seeing some Of this new talent
perform.
The Tritesnen sent the Senator's on
their way Yesterday TO the tune Of TO 4.
Harry Weaver opposed Jake Norrarop on
the mound and good hitting by lis Tribe
mates, cont ine,i with shaky defense on
the part of the visitors. enabled Harry
to cop the afternoons honorS.
The Senators simply blew up in ter
tain parts. especially at short, where VI.
Shannon had four miscues. chiefly on 1T
tempts TO throw to first base. In the
three previous contests the COLUMBUS
team appeared superb in the fielding de-
partment. but apparently yesterday was
the senator's day to crack. and crack
they did
The fourth inning. in which the In
dams scored five runs, was the big event
of the day. In that stanza NJ. Shannon
and throwing low to first base on two
other chances. Center Fielder Todt also
contributed an error by dropping
Schreiber's sacrifice fy. The sum total
with five runs scored on two hits and
i've errors. One Of the hits was bu
Kruger and II was a mighty sock be-
yond the flag pole. The ball bounded all
field and was the longest inside-the- park
drive Of The season at Washington Park.
OF the Indians nine hits. Sticking got
three and Brown two.
Baird opened up the batting for the
Indians by cracking out a triple the first
time UP. Sticking drove him In imme-
diately.
While making numerous errors, NJ.
Shannon did not forget how TO bat and
he got himself two singles.
A peculiar play occurred in the eighth
inning. With Weaver on first base. Baird
hit a roller to NJ. shannon. shannon
made the customary throw to first and
threw the Fan low and wide. In the
meantime Isaird had stumbled and fallen
just after leaving the plate and he ap-
peared to be an easy out. First Base
man Burrus did not see Baird fall and
naturally thought he had crossed first
the initial sack. In the meantime Weaver
had reached second and was signalled
by Manager Hendricks on the coaching
line to continue running. Burrus saw
Harry dashing for third and he let the
ball f. for that spot without looking
to see where Baird was. Doug had re-
gained his feet and sprinted first.
The ultimate result was that both run
ners were safe.
Hin was slated to perform agains. the
Hens today.
George Whitfield former big league out
fielder of various teams, is the new man
hger of the Hens
The Hens hold crowd record that
gives Indianapolis something to ponder
over. The club returned home from a
recent trip absolutely last and was
greeted by an attendance Of 5000.
The interest is In indianapolis, but
the push Is lacking.
Perhaps some people have forgotten
how to reach Washington Park. Board
West Washington street car and get off
at the ball park. Ticket office immedi-
ately at park entrance. Glass IA base
ball played: near major league standard
In fact. some of the players are right
on the brink of the big leagues and
some may graduate suddenly unless
their efforts here are not appreciated
