LUCKY FANS To
RECEIVE SEASON
PASSES TO PARK
Judges Decide on Evans Puz-
zIe-Variety of Answers
Received.

Friday The fans who sent in the
two best answers will receive season
passes to Washington Park from The
Indianapolis Times. The next ten
best will receive single admissions for
Opening Day.
1t was a big task for the judges
to go through all of the answers re-
ceived, but the decision was unani-
nous on the two best answers. AL
though they were not exactly the
same as Billy Evans solution. which
is published In today's Times, they
were correct in every detail and in
Guided almost all the situations which
the noted umpire and special writer
of The Times used in his answer
Many Of the fans fell bS the way
side because they made many of their
apparent outs question Of judg-
ment of the umpire. AS will be
noticed in Evans solution, the
answer does not leave 1t a matter Of
judgment, but question Of the inter
probation of the rules.
A number OF the answers had to
be thrown out at once because Of Il
misinterpretation of rules. Two of the
most common errors were allowing
a batsman to go to first base on balk,
and failing to realize that the batter
is credited with a hit when a base
runner Is hit by batted ball There
was also a tendency to include too
many foul balls in the solution.
The Judges who passed on the
answers were. Harry Geisel, Inter
national League umpire, who was ap
pealed TO on any question concerning
the rules. William Z. Clauer, sec
rotary OF the Indianapolis baseball
club. ard Justus Paul, graduate man
ager Of athletics at Butler College.

MAJOR LEAGUERS
IN EXHIBITION At
WASH|NGTONPARK
First Professional Baseball
for Local Fans on Fri
day Afternoon,

Indianapolis fans VIII be treated to
their first bit of professional baseball
on Friday afternoon when the New
York Giants and Chicago White Sox
meet at Washington Park at p. m.
The two major league teams from
the American and National Leagues
have been transforming up from the
South in a series of exhibitions. They
have been putting on some real con-
tests.
Wednesday at Evansville, Ind, the
White Sox defeated the Giants to 4.
in ten innings. The regular line-ups
of both teams. it is reported will be
in the game. This means great treat
for local fans as some of the games
greatest Iuminaries will be seen in
action.
John McGraw. manager of the
Giants, and Johnny Evers, who is
leading the White SoX in the alb
sence of Manager Chance, are two
of the outstanding personalities Of
baseball. Hughie Jennings will be in
active charge of the Giants on the
field
The Indians. who returned home
today, will practice in the morning
and probably work out a short time
In the afternoon. They will then
watch the major leaguers play.

During the course of the inning not a

In 1921 Jock Hutchinson of Chicago
won at St. Andrews after a play-off
with Roger Wethered. the amateur.
In 1922 Walter Hagen, Rochester
homebred, led the field to the win
ming ticket, at Sandwich, with Jim
Barnes of New York second and
Hutchison-the same Jock-third.
Last year at Troon Hagen came
within one fiuttering stroke of repeat
ing, five on the par-three eighth
hole during the final round costing
him the title, which ultimately went
to Havers, the sinewy Englishman.
America will send another strong
team over this spring, headed by
Gene Sarazen. the match-play cham
pion. and Hagen.
Havers, because of his purple
robes, will be the outstanding British
defender. The Americans, however,
feel they have little to fear from him.
The British champion has been re-
peatedly beaten here this spring in
tournaments and exhibition matches.
II strikes us that Wethered, the
amateur champion, will be the most
dangerous individual in the enemy
field. Always a magnificent stroke
player-as he demonstrated three
springs ago by tieing Hutchison-the
tall, sinuous yOungster. with added
experience, has steadied noticeably,
and is given less frequently tc spasns
Of wildness.
On his game, Wethered will be
more dangerous than Havers. Mitchell

1t was his theory. he said that the
best results were to be obtained by
building and developing young play
slow, the results were more perma-
nent.
<illefer is still building and he
seems to be set on an intention to get
the Cubs a raft of young pitchers who
could keep the club up for years after
II got its real start.
The Cubs finished in the first di-
vision last year and they will enter
the 1924 pennant race with the same
team. The chance for landing a high
CT place this year depends largely
upon the Improvement in the young
pitchers.
HoIlOcher's CASE
Charlie HOllOcher. fine shortstop,
became afflicted in the middle Of the
season last summer with what the Of
icials of the club insisted was an
imaginary illness. 1t was believed by
them that Hollocher was trying to
work them for a transfer to another
club and he was placed on the retired
list. Earl Adams. a yOungster, was
used at short, and he did quite well.
The club was handicapped also by
a peculiar spinal trouble that Grip
pied Ray Grimes. the regular first
baseman, 1t was reported from the
training camp this year that he is
much better and that he will be able
to play his standard game this year.

Tense
O'Farreu and Hartnett are the
regular catchers. but the sturdy and

Grover Alexander, who seems to
be bothered little by age, leads the
pitching staff with Aldridge, kauf-
man, Keen and Osborne as the other
regulars. There is a lot Of posi-
biIity in the staff and also IN the
youngsters that Killefer has picked
up and is working with.
The Cubs are good deal like the
Pirates. They have done very little

and it is probable that the team will
run close to it's 1928 form.
