HORNSBY HITS HOMER AS
 GIANTS BEAT PHlLLLES
Cardinals Lose to Chicago Cubs-Ruth Fails to Hit Yankees Win-Cobb Shines on the Bases-Jess Petty Pitches Sterling Ball for Robins-Red Sox Downed by Washington Pittsburgh Noses Out Reds and Indians Trim White Sox.

New York, April l2 LF)-The lords of baseball ride with the side with the heaviest artillery.
 Salvos of base hits resounded yes terday in the ball parks of seven cities where the opening games Of the big league season were played, and victory went 10 the team with the heaviest barrage.
 Six home runs marked the open ing day and those were divided be- tween two team. The Giants gath cred three in pounding out l5 to victory over the Phillies at Phila- delphia. Rogers Hornsbv, late of the Cardinals. hit one of them and George Harper and Billy Terry con- tributed the others.
 The worlds champion Cardinals lost to the Chicago Cubs when the home team unlimbcred few over size Horwitzers in the hitting of Webb and Grimm. Webb came through with two home runs and Grimm with another. The score was 10 to 1.
 Babo Ruth was left behind In the heavy hitting parade. He could not get his eye on the ball as the Yankees met and defeated the Ath- latic. at Yankee Stadium. The Babe struck out twice and was benched ln the sixth for a pinch hitter.
 In the same game Ty Cobb ap- peared and showed the fans some of the base running that made him on: of the outstanding figures in the na- tional game for years. He beat out a bunt, got to third by hair with q good slide and later scored. The Tanks beat the MCGillicuddy team of old time talent by to before q record opening crowd of 72,000.
 It was a bad day for pitchers. but q few of them stood out. most of them veterans. Old Jess Petty pitch cd sterling ball for the Robins at Boston where the Broolllynites beat the Braves, $ to .. He held them hitless through the sixth inning and allowed only seven safeties in the entire game.
 Another good pitching perform ance was turned in by Waite Hoyt of the Yankees who let down the Ath- letics with eight hits
 The familiar figure of Walter Johnson was not in the box at Washington as the Senators defeated the Red Sox. s to 2. before President and Mrs. Coolidge. But Coveleskie, another veteran. pitched good ball. Grover Cleveland Alexander, the Cardinals iron man, fared not so we'll at Chicago and was forced out of the game in tho third by the Cubs heavy hitting.
 A total attendance of approxi- mately 230.000 was registered in the seven games played. the biggest crowd watching the Yankees. The total compared favorably with last years mark Of 214.000.
 The teams that won their openings were tho Tanks. Giants. Robins, Cubs. Senators. Pirates and Indians. The Pittsburgh sluggers nosed out the Reds. to l. and the Indians beat the White Sox 3 to ?. Rain pre- vented the Tiger-Brown game.

RULE CHANGES TO
 CURE MANY ILLS
Elimination Of Dribble to Give
 Smaller Man a Chance

I Madison. Wis. April 13 Pl-The new basketball rule limiting the dribble 10 one bounce will cure eight major ailments of the game in the opinion of Dr. Waiter F. Meanwell. member of the rules committee which promulgated the new order and coach of the Uni versity of Wisconsin cage team. Dr. Meanwell, originator of the short bounce pass. exponent of the dribble and regarded as one of the outstanding authorities, believes that elimination of the dribble would prove a boon to the game. which now is reaching international importance.
 1 He said the new rule would do l these things for the game: Place basketball on a team basis in con- ; trast to one man performances: save the game to the small clever man now relegated to the showers virtually eliminate "stalling" by the team in the lead: tend to eliminate the accidents resulting from efforts to stop a dribble; eliminate 70 per cent of the whistle blowing which now is caused by double dribbling: i instead of being merely bench warmers; take great burden off officials who have had to decide when q dribble was double" and illegal. and moderate the speed of the game and give the lighter. through the defense of big men. The action of the rules com mittee was not a snap judgment" i Dr. Meanwell said, but resulted from long consideration of some measure to bring about cessation of criticism. In basketball today if is quite possible for one great dribbier to win game and carry his team through many games. If we do eliminate this type of play. we cut down the spectacular. over whelmins brilliant man. but we are tickled to death to do this and substitute team play.
 We have gone on record as fav- bring the development of basket ball along team lines.
 The one bounce rule will also save the game for the type of man now being lost the small man. The western conference is now q six foot group and the little man is noticeable for his absence. The 1o9 pound man with the dribble couldn't be stopped.
 l Small men. no matter how clever. could not bore through de- lenses and as a result in the last four years the small player lost out. We hope to bring him back to the plane where he can be used.'

Melancholy spells, which he suf-
fers regularly from injuries received
in an auto accident last February,
we're blamed by Mrs. Fannie Her
man for the attempted suicide Of
her husband, John Herman, "a, of
Lansing, Ohio, here Tuesday.
John suffered three fractures Of

By Times Special
WAYNETOWN, Ind, July 90
Residents in a farming section north
of here are in terror over the &C
lions of an unidentified man who
slips into homes and threatens the
inmates. Numerous armed posses
are searching for the man. So many
bands are in the hunt that mem
bers tie handkerchiefs about their
sleeves to identify each other as a
precaution against someone being
shot by mistake.
Women are especially fearful OF
the intruder. While he has not yet
attacked any person, he assumes a
threatening attitude. Food appar-
emily is the object OF his entry into
homes. At one home woman sur
prised the man in woodShed. He
seized a club, but made no attempt
to strike her and escaped before she
could spread an alarm.
Although the hunt has been on
since Saturday. not trace OF the
man has been found. 1t is proposed
to obtain bloodhounds from Indian
apolis and several residents of the
terrorized district have offered to
subscribe to fund to bring the
dogs.

BODY MAY END
DEATH MYSTERY
Effort to Identify as Missing
Warsaw Man.

~ tHUtN FItSS
GARY. Ind, July 20.--The mys-
ferrous disappearance OF Franklin
Tucker, Warsaw Qnd) cigar clerk,
may be cleared up through the dis
covery of a body in underbrush
near here.
Kosciusko County authorities at
Warsaw planned today to show bits
of clothing found on the body to
three Elkhart men in Jail here and
at Columbia City, accused, in grand
jury indictments, of first degree
murder in connection with fuckers
disappearance. 1t was hoped that
the men, Vern Martin, John Baum
gartner and Martin v. Ross. might
identify the clothing as that OF
Tucker
Deputy Coroner Robert Marshall
said that although the body was
badly decomposed and complete
Identification therefore might be
impossible, it had resemblance to
descriptions of Tucker.
Tucker disappeared Jan 3. He was
believed to have had a large sum OF
money and the theory that he met
with foul play was given weight by
an alleged confession by Ross, who
asserted he and his companion;
killed Tucker and disposed of the
body. Lakes around Warsaw were
dragged without success.
Later, Ross repudiated this con-
fession. Martin, who is to be triec
first, is understood to be planning a
defense that Ross was insane wher
he confessed"
