HOOSIER NINE OPENS
HOME SEASON TODAY

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, April TO-
Indiana university opened its
home baseball season today by en-
pertaining the Indiana State Teach
ers' college team.
Wiltshire was selected to pitch for
the Crimson. Coach Wally Marks
named Shelton the starting hurler
for Indiana State.
The Crimson opened the season
last week with two victories over
Hanover.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-04-10

In addition, the morale OF the
club may be affected by general
dressingroom gossip, which has Pie
Traynor replacing Gibson as man
ager next season if the Pirates fall.
Spotty pitching was the chief
cause for the Pirates failure to
come through last season. 1t was
by far the best hitting club in the
league. Even though the Waner
boys slumped, the club wound up
with a batting average Of .285, nine
points above the Cards.
Tony Piet Surrendered
Attempting to strengthen tn e
mound staff, Gibson made what
may prove a shrewd move during
the of-season. He parted with a
good hitter, second baseman Tony
Piet, to acquire pitcher Red Lucas
from Cincinnati. The exchange Of
outhelders Generously and Roettger
also figured in the deal. Gibson
figured he had sufficient strength
at the plate 20 part with a 1928 hit
ter for a mound wOrkhorse who
could win sixteen out Of thirty-siX
with a tail-end club like the Reds
of 1888. Moreover, Lucas is an ex-
cellent pinch-hitter.
Other starting pitchers will be
Larry French, Heinie Meme, Bill
Swift and probably Ralph Birkofer.
Other holdovers are Hal Smith, Bill
Harris, Waite Hoyt and Leon Chag-
non. Outstanding rookie prospects
are Lloyd Johnson, a sOuthpaw
from the San Francisco club, and
Darrell Blanton from st. Joseph.
Outside Of Lucas and French the
staff looks very ordinary.
Outfield Is Clubs Pride
With Pet gone from the inf1eld,
Gibson hopes that the veteran
Tommy Thevenow, Floyd Young or
the promising Harry Lavagetto from
the Oakland club may hold down
second base creditably. Thevenow
seems to have first call The rest
of the infield will be the same, with
\ Pie Traynor on third, Floyd
Vaughan at short and Gus Suhr at
first
Lie CluD ID 1O1 ClllCO Will Ol4C VI
the strongest outfields in the
majors; Freddie Lindstrom in left,
Lloyd Waner in center and Paul
Waner in right. Freddie hit $40
last season. Handicapped by i'll
ness, Lloyd Waner slumped to .276,
and brother Paul also fell off to
.3O9. The Waners are expected to
come through in fine style this sea-
son. Wally Roettger from the Reds
and Forest Jensen are utility men.
Catcher Earl Grace is a capable
receiver, and he hit .288 last season.
He will be assisted by Hal Finney
and either Tom Padden or a new
conner from the Oakland club, Art
Veltman, advertised as a heavy
hitter.

 In fact, he said, he has grown quite attached to his new leg and arm and wouldn't part with them for the world. After this statement, Elmer went back on duty at PIatts Mills, his new location.
 Elmer is now quote a public character, having had his name in newspapers all over the east. He doesn't show any conceit. however, he still looks the same as he did when he directed traffic at Stanley Park on East Main street, and later. in WatervilIc.

 Connecticut Go. Taxes
Waterbury's Share Estimated at $6,86l.65- Payable
 March, l935, for Motor Bus Lines

From taxes paid to the state of Connecticut by the Connecticut company for the operation of it's motor bus lines, half of the total paid this month and half next February, 34 of the states cities and towns in whcih bus opera tion took place last year will re- ceive a sum of $56,796.53 for use in the improvement, maintenance and repair of their municipal streets, according to the company's records.
 Payment of this money to the communities in which it operates motor busses is made by the com pany indirectly through the state treasurer. The general statutes provide that on bus operation the company shall pay to the state in lieu of other taxes Exception reg istration and gasoline taxes) a to- tai of three percent of it's gross revenues from that operation. They likewise provide that the treasurer shall return to the cities and towns, in which the company runs buses, sums pro rated on basis of one cent for each bus-mile operated with each towns boundaries during the preceding calendar year.
 On Cent a Mile
 This return to the towns, &C., cording to the statutes is made however, on bus mileage on streets which are not part of the states trunk line ard state aid systems. In other words, the money is turn ed over to the towns for operation of local city and town streets. In effect, it is payment of one cent per mile of bus operation for the use of the streets upon which that operation took place. The recipients of the pro rated funds are not com- Delled to utilize them either who'll ly or in part for the upkeep of the city streets, but it appears probable that it was the intention of the stotute drafters that he money the oretically at least offsets any wear and tear caused by the buses on those streets.
 Last year, the Connecticut com pany's mileage of bus operation taxable under this statute was D. 679,653, which at one cent per mile would be $56,796.53. This amount will be distributed among the 34 towns concerned some time next March.
 6S6,165 Miles for City
 The cities and towns which will receive a portion of the Connecti- cut company's tax payments on bus operation are the following:
 New Haven, Bridgeport, Meri- den, Wallingford, Southington, Hartford, East Hartford, West Hartford, Newington, New Britain, Middletown (city and town), Wind sor, Manchester, Rockville, Yer non, Wethersfield, ville, Pennington, Stamford Getty and

Both political calendars will take on definite shape in the state very quickly, now, with the g.o.p. caucuses out of the way. The democrats, due to the fact that they held their primaries two weeks ago, have a headstart on the republicans but the latter will whip their program into shape quickly, it is expected, and the nomina- tions for the various congress sional, county. senatorial, pro- bate and house posts will be made within the next week or ten days all over Connecticut.
