TOLEDO, O., April 19.-With Hal
Chamberlain delegated to open on
the rubber against the Toledo Mud
Hens at SWayne Field today, the
Indians see bright outlook to cap
ture the majority of games on their
first road trip and return to In
dianapolis for the home opener on
Tuesday in good position to please
the Perry Stadium customers.
The Mud Hens lost three in
row to Louisville and the Hoosiers
broke even in two tits at Column
bus, winning on Wednesday, 9 to 7,
and losing yesterday when the
champion Red Birds outsped the
Tribesters and finished on the long
end, to 5.
The Tribe Toledo series beginning
today calls for four struggles in
three days, winding up with
double header on Easter Sunday
Then will follow the home lid-lifter
at Indianapolis on Tuesday, with
Columbus supplying the visiting at
traction. The Hoosiers will be idle
Monday.
Fred Haney, third base star of the
1928 indianapolis pennant winners,
IS the new Toledo pilot. Another
member of the 1928 Tribe champs is
on the Mud Hen mound staff. He
is Carl DANNY Boone, right
handed finger Haney was the
sparkrlug of the Tribe inf1eld in
1923 and Boone was a late-season
star, coming up from Terre Haute.
The Indians tackled Haney's Hens
in an exhibition game at Mayfield,
KY, last Saturday and won by the
lopsided count of IL 10 l. But there
is more at stake now and the Toledo
tosSers are expected to give the
Indians all they can handle.
HOosiers Slow on Bases
Hal Chamberlain will be making
his first official start of the season
when he faces the Hen batsmen this
afternoon. He has had ample rest
and his mates think he is due to de-
liver in big way. The big fellow
was short of control in spring train
ing games and he lost confidence,
but he kept diligently at practice
when it was possible to practice.
Manager Killefer believes Hal is
destined to go places. He was one
of the most promising young
pitchers in baseball last year, his
| first season as Lacquer.
The Indians came to Toledo from
Columbus this morning and there
was not much singing on the train.
The TribeSterS evidently celebrated
beyond their capacity Wednesday
night, after trouncing Columbus in
the season opener, because yester-
day the Ped Birds took advantage
of some slow thinking on the part
of the HoosierS.
The Indians were caught mapping
on the paths, Bedore was tardy in
handling slow rollers at third, the
Hoosier pitchers were wild and the
Red Birds pulled double steal once
that caught the Tribe defense asleep.
1t was an uninteresting contest from
an indianapolis standpoint and the
affair dragged out 2 hours and 25
minutes.
Three Tribe hurlers were used.
Turner, Walsh and Page, and Co.
lumbus employed two-Mooney and
Ryba. The last named is assistant
manager of the Red Birds and is a
versatile athlete, pitcher, catcher
ana outflelder. He relieved south
paw Jim Mooney in the sixth and
gave up only two hits and one run
the remainder of the way. Vance
Page was charged with the defeat
and Ryba was credited with the vic
tory
COoney and Sherlock Double
Each club collected Is hits. but
the Red Birds included six extra
base wallopS in their total, consist
ing of four doubles and two triples.
only two extra-base drives were
chalked by the Indians, doubles 60
ing to the credit of Cooney and
Sherlock.
Johnny Cooney served notice that.
II there is anything wrong with him
he doesn't know about it. He led
the Indians at bat with a perfect
record OF two singles, a double and
Two walks. On the other hand,
Mickey Heath, one of the heroes of
the lid-lifter on Wednesday. went
out like a light yesterday. He
struck out three times. twice with
the bases loaded, and failed to get
the ball out of the infield. His was
a strange performance compared
With his record on the previous aft
ernoon.
Tie Score at Sail
The Indians tied the score at 5
and 5 in the first half of the sew
enth and then passed out of the pic
ture. In the home half Gutteridge
was first to face Vance Page and he
/ promptly tripled to center. Delker
drew walk and Ogrodowski flied
out, allowing Gutteridge to tally
after the catch with what turned
oLs to be the winning run. Ryba
Grew pass and two extra markers
then were showed over the plate by
the Birds when a Tribe error was
mixed in with a double steal and
both Delker and Ryba tailed.
The Indians were retired in order
in the eighth and ninth and the
Birds were held runleSs in the
eighth.
Southpaw Mooney failed to puz-
zle the Hoosiers and he was yanked
after two away in the sixth. 1t was
a smart move. He was pounded for
II hits in five and two-thirds in
nings and was in hot water most of
