Home run production ought to take a sharp upturn In the new municipal ball park in which the Endians will begin playing in mid Hnmmer. From home plate to point 6 few inches inside the foul Nine in either the left or right field stands the distance is 320 feet. With only about six feet of wall be- tween the field and the seats, 1t appears the Indian management either will have to,put up a screen or have an ambulance handy for the more intrepid customers who choose seats In the outfield stands. Quite A Difference.
 Dunn Field. where the Indians have been holding forth for many years, is 50 feet longer, from home plate to left field, than the new stadium. Right field In the old plant, of course, is 30 feet shorter but there Is a high barrier that turns many a budding home run Into puny single.
 General Manager Billy Evans. Interviewed on the subject of erect ing screen. said:
 ."We'll have to see few ball games before we decide what we're going to do. The stand curves, Of course. and I think it would take q pretty healthy swat to make the stands 15 feet either way from the foul lines"
 s.s Same As St Louis.
 The new stadium dimensions are the same as from home plate to the right field stands in Sports mems Park, St Louis, where sever al world series games have been played in the last few years. It was in St Louis. you remember, where Babe Ruth called his shots on three homers in one world series game a few years back.
 ssThe player who hits a homer into the center field stands at the new plant, however, will have to bear down. The distance is 450 feet.

 Chicago, June 14.-(UP)--If some enterprising young publisher should manage to bind Mister Al Munro Elias, the demon statlsti- clan, between covers, and have AIS brother, Walter. write foreword for the unique book, he would probably have the finest record of baseball ever turned out. For in his many years, as official figure gather and compiler for the Na- tional and lesser leagues, Mister EliaS has salted away thousands of facts and incidents; his noggin, from one large ear to the other, is literally crammed with dope, im- portant and trivial.
 You can ask the man almost anything that has happened since the turn of the century and, after a second or so of earnest scratching of his head, hell give off the an- swer-the right answer.
 "Try me once," he suggested, land see if you can stump me-"
 "Okay, AL" we replied, "when. where and how did Connie Mack break into the big leagues?"
 Connie Mack? Well, let me see. Oh yeah, I got it. Connie broke in September. think it was in 1886, he was with Washington, and the Nationals whipped Philadel- phia 4 to 3. Now let's look in the files and see if Pm right"
 He handed me a dusty volume and sure enough. there itwas, in d clipping from a Washington paper of the date of September II. 1886. "Gilmore and Mack, the new battery of the home club, took the large crowd that visited Capitol Park today by storm. Gilmore had the visitors completely at his mercy. Mack received his delivery in masterly manner, and threw fin fine style, Washington won to g."
 Thinking that maybe we had just accidentally stumbled across brances, we fired another ques- ton.
 What" we asked, twas the greatest number of runs ever scored by a big league team in one inning?".
 That's an easy one" Al replied "Detroit holds the record. with Ia runs. I think 1t was Chicago they were playing, back in the '80s.'
 This time another and still dus- tier volume was pulled out of tho safe. And again Al was right. 1r the Sporting Life of September G 1883, there appeared this item:
 Detroit defeated Chicago 26 tt 6, scoring IS runs in the seventh inning. The champs scored ls runs and only let up for feal darkness would prevent Chicago from getting Detroit out at all.
 Billy Sunday, the famed evangel ist, it might interest you to know was in right field for Detroit tha day. And he got four hits.
 Well Brother Elias" we salt being as you know everything how many blades of grass are there in the outfield of the Cincinnati ball park on even days of tho month of July"
 "Our last count" came the an swer, "gave the number as 13l.' 333,423,256. That includes o course, some 2,567,341 weeds. Ii you don't believe me, go and coun 'em."

THEN, HE bhOWNS
 A few days after Terrell had suf- fered his ranking of managers to the printed. he was chosen by Manager Peckinpaugh to pitch against the St Louis Browns.
 During the three years of his ajor league career. the Brownies have been more or less a setup for the big Indian right-hander. Thus when the selection of Terrell was announced, the lads in the press box began combing their skulls for possible new lead on another Terrell victory.
 The Indians fell upon Bump Had ley with gusto, billing up a seven run lead for Terrell in the first few innings. It seemed to be an answer to Ferrell's complaint that his team hadn't been scoring runs behind him recently in the style which he had become accustomed to expect.

Then, very suddenly 1t happened. The Browns had been making the Terrell delivery sporadically for a couple of innings. cutting down the score to 9 to 4. Tn the seventh Fer rell wObbled further. The first two men to face him drove out ringing singles.
 Then Manager Peckinpaugh waved to the bull pen, where old Sarge George Connally. he of the rubber arm. was laconically warm ing up. And Wesley Terrell was called right out there!
 Mister Peckinpaugh can do bit of handling himself. 1t seems He didn't waste much time after the Browns had indicated they hadn't given up. even with the great Fer reIi pitching in front of a seven- run lead.

SISTER OF DEAD
RECLUSE is FOUND
Capital Woman Learns Man Who
Died in Baltimore Is Her
Brother.

Convinced by the newspapers that
an elderly recluse who died IN baltl-
more last Wednesday was her brother,
Mrs. Katherine Coleman of l403 Rhode
island avenue went to the Maryland
CITY today to make funeral arrange
ments and to investigate reports OF
$3.50 bank deposit left by the dead
man.
Mrs. Coleman, who was accompanied
to Baltimore by her husband, d. M.
Coleman, clerk in Government en-
plov, said she was the only near rela-
tive to survive her brother, Frederick
Schembach.
Mrs. Coleman read of Schembach's
death in Washington newspaper sun
day morning, and, communicating with
local police, was advised to get in
touch with Baltimore authorities.
Schembach had led secluded life
in a basement on South Paca street,
and, although, he found employment
from time to time as night watch
man for firms in the vicinity during
the past II years, the fact that he had
saved a considerable sum of money
was as much a surprise to his sister
as word of his death.
Baltimore police, searching Schem-
bach's effects Saturday for clue to
his relatives, found a bank book show
ing deposits totaling almost $4,000,
together with registered letter from
sister, Mrs. c. Coleman OF 62l K
street, Washington"
Investigation Saturday night, how
ever, showed the residence given had
been vacant for weeks and the former
occupants had left no forwarding ad-
dress.
Schembach died in a municipal am
bulance on his way to Baltimore hos
pital. He had fallen i'll week pre-
viously, and the man from whom he
rented the basement summoned as
sistance when the elderly tenant took
turn for the worse.
