IlliopolisBoy Twirls No-Hit Contest Friday nwrTr r.nRnn Anril 12 Byron By BOB SINK When the Commodores open their 1929 season at Bioomington April 25, Joe Cantrell and Jack Tesar will be ready. This pair, only remaining veterans of the hurling staff of the 1928 champion Commodores demonstrated this in the exhibition game with St. Paul Friday afternoon, and although the Saints won 8 to 4 each gave a good account of himself during the three innings he worked. The Saints did most of their scoring while George Brown was on the mound for the Commodores, collecting six hits and five runs in the three innings he worked. Altogether the Saints collected a total of 11 hits.

Cantrell looked the best of any of the Commie hurlers. He allowed three hits and one run in three innings and fielded his position in his usual style. Joe had five chances in three innings which indicates how he was hustling around the diamond.

Word that Hooks had been returned to Decatur was received by Manager Frank Dessau from New Orleans Friday night. Hooks was sold to New Orleans at the close of last season, but with a surplus of first base talent, the Pelicans have decided to return Hooks to the Commies. Hooks plans to drive to Decatur from New Orleans. Ordinarily this would be regarded as a long and lonesome drive, but this time Alex will be accompanied by Mrs. Hooks.

The tall Texan was married early last fall. Alex coached the Wills Point, High school teams dur ing the last season. Another infielder will join the Commies within the next few days, Bancroft, former University of Alabama star, having been released to the Commies by Birmingham. Bancroft conies highly recommended by Urban Pickering, member of last year's Commie team, who apparently has cinched the third base job at Birmingham. Bancroft is said to be a good hitter, a competent fielder and a speedy base runner.

His arrival will give Manager Frank Dessau three shortstops to choose from, and should make the battle for that position the hottest one on the club. Manager Frank Dessau will use Cassell and Hensick in today's game against St. Paul, while "Slim" Harris and Giard will work for the visi tors. The game will start at o'clock, and admission will be 50 cents both today and Sunday. Joe Cantrell made the bugs happy with his fielding in Friday's game.

Cantrell had a hand in every play in the fifth inning. He started the inning by throwing Roettger out at first, and then covered first twice to take throws from Johnny Brewer to retire the next two runners. Brewer, by the way, made a couple of nice stops on the same plays. Pitcher Hopkins of the St. Paul club was not charged with a time at bat although he faced the hurler three times.

Each time there was a runner on base, and each time he sacrificed, bunting to Brauscn. Manager Bubbles Hargrave of the Saints was busy looking up his friends here in his spare moments Friday. Bubbles still remembers the dinner staged by George Martin for the Cincinnati club when they staged an exhibition game with the Commodores a few years igo. and also is a friend of J. Frank Liston, who umpires the Commie exhibition games this spring.

Jake Hill, owner Bob Connery of the Saints and Hargrave staged a little fanning bee about old times Friday noon. The trio got back to ihe days when Ferd Schupp went up to the Giants from the Commodores, Connery believes that Schupp is the best pitcher ever to appear in the majors. Ferd, who is now with the Indianapolis Indians holds the best average earned run record ever made by a major league hurler. St. Paul will be well up in the race this year in the belief of the St.

Paul officials. They believe they have a club that is well balanced in every department. Manager Hargrave will do a good bit of the work behind the bat himself, whicri would strengthen any AA club considerably in this department. Indianapolis Nips Sox in 10th, 54 (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, April 13 The Chicago White Sox staged a three run seventh inning rally to take tne lead in an exhibition here Friday, only to see the game tied in th ninth and won in the 10th, 5- to 4, by Indianapolis American association champions. A home run by Mona-han in the ninth, and a walk, a sin gle and a sacrifice fly in the 10th gave Indianapolis the decision.

Long hits coupled with an error, accounted for the Chicago tallies, in the seventh. Chicago 001 000 300 0 1 8 1 Indianapolis ..000 201 001 15 8 1 DAVIS CtJP PLAY STARTS MAY 4 (By Vnitcd Press.)

The Reds' chances of a victory in this meet are good, but would be bolstered considerably if not for the scarcity of men in the field events.

Tesar yielded only two hits, but a pass to Davis. Chapman's triple and an error allowed two runs to score on one hit in the final inning. Hopkins Holds Commies At bat the Commies did not fare so well.

They could get only three hit3 off Hopkins in the six innings he worked, and failed to score until VanAtta took up the pitching duties in the seventh. Then they collected four runs in short order, but could not threaten the visitors' lead. None of the Commies could get more than one hit, while Johnny Brewer was the only one to come through with an extra base hit. However, most of the athletes were not in the game long enough to find, their batting eyes after the long layoff. Manager Dessau used a total of 18 players in the contest, and St.

Paul eleven. While statistics are being discussed it also might be mention ed that the game lasted two hours and 15 minutes. Work Double Steal Four hits combined with a double steal, staged by Cook and Oscar Roettger, gave the Saints three runs off Brown in the ffrst inning. They failed to score in the second, but in the third walks to Chapman and Cook and Roettger's triple to the fence in center field scored two more. Joe Cantrell took up the mound duties in the fourth and was touched for the only runs scored off him in this frame.

Tesmer got credit for a hit when Kestner lost his pop fly in the sun and Hopkins sacrificed. Morehart walked and Davis followed with a single to score Tesmer. Only six men faced Cantrell in the next two innings. Tesar was not scored on until the ninth when Davis walked and Chapman tripled. On the relay from the outfield.
