Pirates, Giants and Cards
Stand Out as Class of
Older Circuit.
BY Billy Evans

Three clubs, Pittsburgh, New York
and st. Louis, stand out as the class
Of the National League. One Of
these three teams should win the
pennant in that organization.
Tho other five clubs in the Ma
tional League are not weaklings by
any means. On the whole, the
strength Is pretty well distributed,
which makes me think the race in
the senior league will be a spirited
one.
Pittsburgh is a great ball team.
series AT third and shortstop two
of the most brilliant players in
the game, Traynor and Wright,
make that section Of the Pirate in
field very strong.
While the other side Of the in
field, first AMI second, is not so
strongly fortified, it is still very
capable. There Is more Of a ques-
ton about second than first.
Respect Giants
Every National League manager
has a wholesome respect for New
York, managed by John McGraw.
The Giants failed to go over last
season after being picked to win a
fifth straight pennant. 1t is doubt
full If any major league club ever
encountered more hard luck from be-
ginning to the end Of the season.
Added to a long list Of injuries
and illness. New York's pitching last
year was just fair. This year It Is
certain to be much improved That
should help.
1t is just possible that Rogers
Hornsby and his st. Louis Cardinals
will upset the National League dope.
The Cardinals have much power and
great spirit.
If the Cardinals get good pitching
they will be a~strong factor in the
race. The pitching is a big question.
Braves Well Balanced
The Boston Braves should win a
lot Of ball games this summer and
throw any number Of jolts into the
hopes OF the various pennant con-
tenders. It is a well balanced ball
club, having no big stars except
Manager Bancroft at short, but 1t
plays smart baseball and when 1t
gets good pitching must be feared.
The unsettled condition Of the
Brooklyn infeld may keep that
team from being as high in the race
as it's pitching and batting punch
figure.
No club IN the National League
should get better pitching than the
Cincinnati Reds. The shortstop prob
lem, however, may handicap the
pennant chances of the Reds con-
siderably. Pipp has helped the team
at first. Anywhere in the first d.
vision is a Cincinnati possibility.
While both the Phillies and the
Cubs look stronger than last year
neither is figured to make any noises
that sound like pennant.

The Bushmen were to tangle with
the Oklahoma City team of the
Western League this afternoon in
the first battle Of a threegame exhi-
bition series. Bill Burwell and Carl
Ray were slated for Tribe mound
duty today.
Owing to the fact Eddie Ainsmith
is still in poor condition to get in
and work behind the plate, Manager
Bush brought along Catcher Sted-
man, the Chicago semi-pro, to help
warm up pitchers and to be ready
to relieve Florence. 1t is likely Sted-
man will be retained with the
Indians through the opening series
at Kansas City and maybe for the
Milwaukee series also.
Catching Situation
The catching situation is Manager
Bush's heaviest worry as the league
opening with the Blues approaches.
Ainsmith is able to work behind the
plate but he is unable to throw be-
yond the pitcher. He says he needs
about one moro week before trying
to throw to bases.
Outfielders Matthews and Russell
were on the sick list Thursday and
did not participate in the Indians
closing drill at Hot Springs. They
are under the weather with severe
colds.
Games will be staged in Oklahoma
City today. Saturday and Sunday.

stormiest meeting ever experienced
by the Izaak Walton League of
America, Will H. dig. president,
and the man who founded the organ
ization, has been deposed as tempo
rary and permanent chairman of the
fourth annual convention.
Charges of gross mismanagement
of the organization and Of attempts
to ruin the league" were back Of
the organized move to depose dig.
A heated argument came up over
Digs travelling expense account.
Dig maintained that the presi-
dents large expense account was
made necessary because Of numerous
trips to Washington in the inter
est of legislation backed by the
league.
The body took matters into its
own hands and amended the bylaws
so that 1t was possible to appoint DR..
Henry Baldwin Ward, professor Of
zoology at the University of Illinois,
as temporary vice president. Clark
Venable, Chicago, was later voted
permanent chairman Of the conven-
ton.
The meeting will close Saturday
with the election of officers. dig is
a candidate for reelection, but his
defeat in the first session is regarded
as almost a death blow for him.

played at Wittenburg this afternoon,

veterans having graduated. The
team took a southern training trip,
however, and should be in better
condition than the locals.

HOW TO GET THERE

Newfoundland is easily reached
from northern Novia Scotia by a
few hours steamer trip; also from
Boston by steamer.
The season is open from the
time ice leaves until the middle
of September.
Alderman speaks as follows
about this wonderland:
Brook trout and Atlantic
salmon. That's all! Imagine It!
mo catfish, carp or ling, perch.
club or bullheads. The trout that
migrates to the sea--'sea trout,
the non-migrating trout, the
migrating Atlantic salmon and his
dynamic little non-mitgrating
brother, the ouananiche, or land
locked salmon.
"If you get a thrill from
catching trout and salmon on
light tackle, in accordance with
the very way you want to catch
'em, go to the Newfoundland,
north, east, south or west. The
most renowned stream Is the
Humber, but most any will be
famous to you after fishing it
awhile"
Now, we wonder if there are
any Indianapolis fisherman who
have tried these spots, or any
who have planned such a trip this
summer? Let us hear from you.
Wen just check up on Mr.. Acker-
man.
Beware, Injuns! The Kansas
City Blues downed the Chicago
Cubs, Thursday, to 2.

By VEDDER GARD

T~TIE fishermen have had
bad spring so far, but the
fever is in the air. The
tackle in most cases has been
gone over carefully and all Is in
readiness for many enjoyable days
this summer. Many know the
best spots around Indiana, and be-
cause of various circumstances,
there are followers Of 1zaak Wal
ton, who do not take any fishing
trips out of the State.
But for those who plan such ex-
cursions, and even for those who
will find their sport in Hoosier
streams and lakes, it will be in
teresting to note what Morris
Alderman, one of the greatest
authorities on fish and game, has
to say about the best spots to be
found.
Here's what Alderman says
about a ''bass PARADISE
"Where is the greatest bass
grounds in the world? Who can
answer that question? / can't,
but I'll tell you where you can
catch more small-mOuth bass
than any place 1 know. It's at
Long Point Bay, Port Rowan,
Ontario.
Port Rowan is directly across
lake Erie from the city Of Erie,
Pa. You can reach it by railway,
power boat or motor road, via
Buffalo or Detroit. It's easy to
get to and out Of.
SEASON OPENS JUNE 16
"Outside Of bass fishing the sur
roundings are not particularly at
tractive-but the bass are there.
The season opens on June 16 and
the daily creel limit Is eight fish.
That's where the rub comes.
Long Point bass run small IN
the main. I mean from three
quarters Of a pound to two pounds.
Most of the fishing is done
there with natural bait. For that
reason 1t does not appeal to the
bait and fly caster"
But if you are bait and fly
caster, Alderman also has
picked out the spot for you. Can
you imagine a country blessed
with hundreds of rivers and
lakes i'm which there are no fish
but those that will rise to fly?
It sounds like a fairy tale, but
Alderman says that Newfound-
land Is that country.
Now don't get scared. 1t is not
inaccessible. OF course, you can't
get the flivver out and spin over
to the finny ones home, but If
you have a little time and some
money saved up for a grand fish
ing spree, the trip will not be
difficult.
