With Shevlin in the starting day
lineup, John Cooney will bat third.
Killefer announced tomorrow's bat
ting order as follows: Lee, SIS;
Shevlin, 1b; Cooney, CT; Washing
ton, RI; Sigafoos, 2b; Rosenberg, If;
Bedore, 3b; Riddle or Sprinz, C; Lo-
gan, Thomas or Turner, p.
1t is believed Lefty Bob Logan
will draw the Indian mound start
ing assignment. Stewart Bolen, the
veteran of Tribe south paws, pitched
Saturday and was batted all over
tine park by the Cincy Colts. John
Miljus, veteran Highlander, tried
it yesterday and took a bad lacing.
None of the Hoosier hurlerS has
gone nine innings this spring and
boss Killefer fears he may have to
use two or three against the Hens
tomorrow. Young Logan has looked
the best among the lefties and Bill
Thomas and Jim Turner among the
right handlers. Thomas pitched last
years opening day game in Indian
apoliS.
Colts Reach Miljus
A change of pasture may put the
Indians on their feet as all are
eager to get on a smooth playing
field. The Bosse diamond here is
rough and the outf1eld also is spotty.
The Hoosiers played seven exhibit
ton games and dropped six. They
foundered badly Saturday and yes
terday and four errors were charged
to them in the Sabbath perform
ance. The Tribe lost Saturday, 9 to 6,
although collecting eleven hits.
BOlen, Wright and Turner divided
the Indian slab duties. MiljuS and
Butzberger toiled on the Tribe
mound yesterday and the latter
checked the Cincinnati attack after
Miljus proved flop. The Colts got
seven hits and seven runs off Miljus
in four innings. The Indians fell
apart in the field and four miscues
were made in the first three stanzaS.
The Indians were defeated in the
second inning yesterday when the
Cincy Colts battered MiljuS for six
markers on four hits. one a double,
two errors, two wild pitches, one hit
batsman and base on balls.
The Indians tailed their two runs
in the fourth, when pitcher Patti
son, southpaw, issued four con-
Secutive walks, forcing in one
marker, and the other crossed the
plate on an inf1eld out. Wingard
got two of the Tribes seven hits.
Hoosier regulars, who went hitless,
were Lee, Washington, Sigafoos,
Rosenberg and Riddle. Rosenberg
made a sparkling throw in the
fourth when he caught Shevlin at
the plate on a perfect peg from left
field.
COoney Stays in Field
Killefer changed his infield in
the sixth, placing Sherlock at sec
ond, Joe Lawrie at third and Ray
White at shortstop, leaving Wingard
at first. This combination deliv-
cred in style and put through
snappy double play.
With Both Shevlin and Wingard
available for first base, Manager
Killefer has dropped plans to take
Cooney out of center field for duty
at the initial sack. Johnny is a
f1ashy gardener and his speed is
needed out there.
Manager Killer was barking last
night over the poor showing of
some of his regulars and said if
they don't snap out of it shortly,
there will be players coming and
going on all trains. He will take

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-04-16

Sports history shows, however,
that when good, common sense
comes in, sentiment flies out the
window. In the days when owners
marched under flying banners, fight
ing shoulder to shoulder with the
fans for a pennant and counting not
the cost, baseball set fire to the
of the fans.
T OOK back over the legion of
~ former baseball magnates-
Charles Hercules Ebbets, who ex-
planned Dodger defeats in speeches
to the Flatbush faithful in the mar
BILE rotunda of his ball park and
who once threatened to call off a
world series game in 1916 because
the Brooklyn boosters didn't get good
seats at FenWay park; Garry Herr
mann, who transported the Cincin-
natl rooters in special trains, with
beer and a bar in one car; John T.
Brush, who threatened to keep the
Giants out of the 1903 playof for
the pennant and did refuse to al
low his club to meet the Red SoX
in world series, calling the Ameri-
can League champions "Bushers,
rowdies and rascals."
There was Barney Dreyfuss, who
Of hn
committee because John McGraw
had insulted his dignity by shout
ing, "hey, Barney" at him on a
public street; Chris Won Der Abe,
of the tally-ho and plug-hat era;
Colonel Tillinghast L Hommedieu
Huston, who made the iron-hat
famous in baseball.
Holding firmly to what remains
of sentiment among baseball's mag
mates is Judge Emil Fuchs, presi-
dent of the Boston Braves. Like
most of the owners named above,
Fuchs is in baseball because he
loves it. And, like most of the color
full owners of another age, the game
is his livelihood. Fuchs has no mil
lions in chewing gum or in beer or
in automobiles. Everything he has
is in baseball, and anything which
comes to him must come from base
ball.
TINE streak of sentiment runs
l. wide and true in Judge Fuchs.
When a kid on New York's east side,
his ambition was to be ball player,
but a weak throwing arm permitted
his career to go no farther than
catching for various athletic clubs
around town and in the Oranges.
He turned to law and had a profit
able practice. rarely losing a case
before jury.
Fuchs bought the Braves from
George Washington Grant in 1922
and one of the first moves he made
was to bring Christy Mathewson,
whom he had always admired, out
of retirement and make him presi-
dent of the Boston club.
1t was not easy sailing for Fuchs
in Boston and isn't yet, for that
matter. The Athens Of America is
a notorious "home town." 1t didn't
take to the New Yorker coming in
since it revived the old antipathy
of the fans to the Giants, an an
tipathy which resulted in countless
rumors that the Giants owned or
controlled the Braves
