WITH GALA OPENER OVER, +.
TRIBE MAY SETTLE DOWNS
Indians Slightly Nervous First Day as Crowd Swarmed
Park-Big Event Even in Defeat

more than visitors on opening day
and it was very evident the Indians
were suffering from crowd fright at
Washington Park Thursday. Capt.
Eddie Sticking was charged with three
but even so he didn't lose
the game.
Failure to hit Southpaw Nick Cub
lop's offerings and the defensive
work Of Joe Schepner at third for
the Colonies took the drive out Of the
Indians
The old rivals were to tangle in the
second scrap of the series this after
noon and Carmen Hill looked like the
Tribe choice for the pitching job. The
after which the Indians will move to
Columbus TO help the Senators open
their home season Monday.
The Tribesmen need a shortstop Of
experience. Tom Whelan got away
with the job in the opener, but Tom
is too huge to fill the position regu-
larly.
Nearly every ball game has q
break" a certain something that
seems to settle the contest before it
is over. The break in the big open
ing-day struggle here Thursday &C.
CURED in the first inning.
Schepner Stepped in Way
Louisville had scored twice in the
first round. The Indians came up
for their turn. Christenbury sent a
liner to right center. 1t looked like
a safety, but Viox raced over and
speared it at his knees. Sticking sin
gled to right and Brown singled to
left, Sticking stopping at second.
Brown hit the ball so hard 1t got to
Combs too soon to permit Sticking to-
reach third.
Sticking on second and Brown on
first. Jay Kirke at bat. Jay crashed
a mighty grounder down the third
base line It started like a sure
double. Third Baseman Schepner
stepped into the hero role for Louis
Vile at that point He left his feet
in a headlong dive, bounced on the
ball and blocked it. Picking 1t up,
he took two steps, touched third and
forced Sticking and then whipped the
ball to first and doubled up Kirke.
That one incident seemed to lower
the Indians confidence. In addition
to that 1t increased the confidence of
the Colonies. They danced and
pranced over their good fortune Their
rooters screamed delight. Old Nick
Cullop evidently decided he couldn't
lose and in the next eight innings
the Indians found him for only four
Lifts.
Sticking doubled with one out in the
sixth, advanced to third on Browns
long fly to Acosta in deep center, but
the Tribe captain was left. kIrke
was unable to deliver.
CulIop permitted only one INDIAN
to advance as far as third. He twirled
an alright game and was given SUI
perb support. e
Burwen was found for twelve hit
in the eight innings he pitched, but
only two of the four runs scored on
him were earned. Errors helped two
around. Cavet hurled the ninth and
allowed one hit.

"CRAZY JACK" AND HIS CAP
PISTOL

"Pooh!" cries the doughty Cover
nor of Oklahoma, in a new express
sion of dislike for the legislators of
his state. 81 could take a cap pistol
and chase those fellows into the Red
Riverw
Then why did he call out the Ma
tional Guard to do it, and order the
soldiers to "shoot to kill" any law
maker who attempted to exercise his
constitutional rights? And why did
the Governor make a frantic appeal
for funds to banditism all over the
state in order that he might have
more than the 100000 available from
the state treasury for paying militia
men to awe the legislators? And
why has such brave man put the en-
tire commonwealth under martial rule
instead of shouldering his cap pistol
and marching forth to wage war upon
all other Oklahomans
His most ardent supporters secretly
doubt that "Crazy jack knows what
he is doing. 1t is equally apparent
that he does not realize what he is
saying. Every time Gov. Walton
opens his mouth he either tells lie
or convicts himself of having uttered
one a moment before-"The Patriot"

RAGEN'S COLTS CHICAGO'S
MOST NOTORIOUS GANG

Ragen's Colts, Chicago's most
notorious gang, is made up entire
ly of Irish Catholics from the
Stock Yards district. Headed by
Frank Ragen, a former county
commissioner, and operated as an
athletic club" this gang has
been the instigator of riots, smur-
der, and every form of disorder
known.
Its members have been guilty
of numerous crimes.
When this gang, numbering
$500 members, voted $4,000 to
send terrorists to the aid of Ok
lahoma's chief executive he wired
their leaders that he needed finan-
cial help even more than addi-
tional gunner. The "Colts" are
now raising funds among the
Irish Catholics to continue the bat
tie against the Ku Klux-and
they have sent more than 100
gangsters into Oklahoma since
Tuesdays election to "help" the
governor.
The "Colts" precipitated the
race riots here in July, 1919, in
which SO white people and negroes
were killed. Their record was
such that even John j. Clarity,
Irish Catholic chief of police, sus-
pended their "club" license and
kept them from operating during
his term in Office.
Upon recognizing the "Colts"
offered their services to officials
of the so-called American Unity
and suggested a campaign of in
timidation against the Ku Klux
Klan in Chicago.
This gang was investigated
when the Dawn's printing estab-
lishment, and the business houses
of a number of advertisers were
bombed early this year.

Augusta, Me.-Dr. Lannin and F.
G. Conant, of Portland, and Rev. A.
E. Leigh of Randolph, were the
speakers at a meeting held here in
Golden Cross hall last week.
The Ku Klux Khan was the sub
ject of the lectures, and much inter-
esting data on the subject of this
much-discussed organization was
brought out in the speeches. DR..
Lannin declared that some of the
highest officials of the city of Port
land were members of the order.
Plans are now under way to build a
Klan temple in Portland, DR.. Lannin
said, one that will seat 1000 people,
and will be temple second to none
in Maine.
Rev. Leigh stated that while he
was not a member of the Ku Klux
Khan, he was in full accord with the
principles of the order and would
willingly join if permitted to do so.
