ATIRRIN'
DOPE

By VEDDER GARD


University Heights in
stitution, said last winter that he
had prospects for a good baseball
team. At the start Of the diamond
season we believed George was
over-estimating things. His CLUB
lost to Muncie Normal, Rose Poly
and Butler and tied Franklin.
But the other day the Central
team came to life with a surprising
9 to 2 victory over De PAW. Inc
suburban team has a good OUTFIT
and there was a reason Tor the
early season reverses. Many mis-
fortunes hit the team.
Much of the success of the
team depends upon Pitcher Her
rim, who is a star college hurler.
At the beginning of the schedule
he had the flu, and is just
getting his strength back.
Albright, last years catcher, is
in bad health and is out for the
season. Hoffman has been doing
we'll behind the bat. A torn nail
made it difficult for him to throw
but the injured digit is nearly
healed now.
In the long tale of woe even
measles holds its place. Eastrldge'
smuggling first sacker. was down
with that malady He has played
p the last three games and has
a batting average Of Bob lie mas
specialized in two-base hits.
Harvey was brought in from
the outfield and is making good
at shOrtstop. The shift has been
beneficial and the infield is work
ing more smoothly.
Merryman is at second and
France at third. The outfield is
composed of e. Bright, left field;
A. Bright. center field; and Moore
right field. Moore also is pitcher
Herrin is a good hitter and can
be used in the garden when not
on the mound.
De PAW plays a return game at
Indiana Central next TUESDAY
Remaining games. May 10, n. a.
G. u. at Central; May IA, at Rose
Poly: May %, at Muncie; May 20
Franklin at Central
This schedule will give Coach
Georges club a chance to get even
for some of those early defeats.
=7ORSE racing is an easy
III game to beat. Now you tell
one. On wednesday there
were some supposed stand-outs at
Jamaica, Havre de Grace and
Lexington. Noah, in the feature
at the New York track, was held
at odds of to 10-and was out
of the money, finishing fifth in
field Of seven.
Sarazen at Havre De Grace
Awas made the public choice at
odds of 80 cents on the dollar.
The geIding was not in a run
ming mood and finished fifth in
field of six.
Canter, second choice to Pompey
for the Kentucky Derby, was
nosed out by Rockman in the
Chesapeake stakes at Maryland
track The Griffith colt, however,
showed a splendid effort and was
wearing Rockman down at the
end. The decision was lost by a
nose-but it was lost. Canter was
kicked at the post. Lots Of things
can happen in a boss race.
Torchilla, fast 2year-old in the
sixth at Lexington, did not dis
appoint. The track was heavy and
the Apologize colt reveled in the
going.
But just consider. Three out
of four of these mentioned did
not win. Two odds-On choices
were not placed. And you would
not have got much back for
your dough if they had won.
It's tough game TO beat. Pick
the long shots and get rich.
YEAH just try and pick en-

MI the bright sun this morn
Cyl ing and felt the balmy
breezes. "What an idle day for
baseball" the old soul remarked.
She is going out to the opening
game, but was worried because
n she didn't have a place to sit down.
