TRIBE ROOKIE HURLER STARS

Thomas May Open on Mound Against Cards Hoosiers to Lift Lid on Exhibition Bill Next Thursday; sfnie Wingard, Fitzgerald and Goldman Report, Signed and Ready for Work. BY EDDIE ASH Timex Snorts Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March s.—Displaying a find brand of hurling during batting drill Friday, when he cut loose with curves and a fast ball, Bill Thomas, rookie right-hander from Oklahoma City, is believed to have placed himself in No. 1 position to open on the Tribe mound

against the world champion St. Louis Cardinals when the Indians lift the lid on their spring exhibition schedule in Sarasota next Thursday. Thomas convinced Manager Emmet McCann he has rounded into working form ahead of the rest of the pitching staff for the time being. New faces at practice today were Jonah Goldman, shortstop, and Ray Fitzgerald, shining light of the center pasture. They reached camp Friday night and it was announced both have signed their contracts. These pastimers were regulars in 1931. Fitzgerald is sure of his old berth, but several camp observers

are of the opinion Goldman will have a battle on his hands with the recruit, Ray White, who is looking better every day with his rangy style in the short field. The guess is that batting power will determine the issue between Goldie and Ray.

Wingard in Double Role Ernie Wingard, the lanky slugger purchased from Toledo, opened the eyes of Tribe officials Friday. He signed at once and went out and worked out at both first base and on the mound, in addition to spending part of the day with the regular hitters. Ernie resides in Alabama and evidently got himself in shape before leaving home. He was curving the sphere his first day on the field. Wingard has been assigned to double duty, pitching and pinch hitting, leaving the first basing to Manager McCann and Ed Lowell until it is seen how Lowell progresses as a hitter. The Idaho youth is a phenom in the field and his ability to snare bad throws is a delight to the bleacherites. John Berly, righthander obtained from the Giants, joined the other hurlers throwing to the batters Friday, and his actions were impressive. The old experience plainly was apparent and he brought more joy to Pilot McCann by announc-

BY EDDIE ASH SARASOTA, Fla., March s.—The Indians have an unsigned raw rookie in camp who hitch hiked from near Logansport, Ind., to ask for a tryout. He is Arthur Lamberson and he is fired with ambition to become an outfielder. He practiced in his hiking clothes Friday and the players let him hit and field. Manager Emmet McCann will give him a uniform today as a reward for his baseball zeal. The kid has not played much baseball and will not be placed on the roster. a tt a Paul Jones, voting righf-hander, who stands six feet four inches, had something on the ball Friday that gave the hitters trouble. He is a submarine fiingcr of promise and extremely loose in his movements for a man of his size. Young Bob I.ogan, rookie southpaw hurlcr, stepped In a hole playing basketball and was un-

‘FINE SMUGGLED GOODS' RACKET FOOLSBUYERS College Boy Fake Also Is Put Across by Many Salesmen. BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM (This is the last of a series on house-to-house racket* in Indianapolis.) One of the oldest and most successful of the house-to-house rackets is the “smuggled goods” sale. The housewife is approached by a furtive man. perhaps having a foreign appearance. He whispers confidentially that, because of need for funds, he is forced to sell valuable furs or other merchandise which he has smuggled into the country without paying duty. After much haggling, he agrees to sell at a price below the value of “high-priced furs.” Almost invariably, the buyer finds he has paid twice as much as the article would have cost in a local store. Many times costly “smuggled furs” turn out to be merely goat or dog skins. Sell ‘lrish Lace’ There are many variations to this racket. Sometimes it is worked by women pretending to be disposing of fine Irish linen or lace from an ‘ aunt in Ireland,” smuggled into the country without paying duty, which she must sell to buy food. Salesmen often use a similar racket to sell cheap articles, pretending it is fine merchandise they obtained at bargain prices from an overstocked merchant. Very few real bargains are obtained in this way. The “college magazine” racket is one that has been worked profitably here and elsewhere. These glib, hatless young men, selling magazine subscriptions to “earn enough money to go to college,” are highly trained specialty salesmen. Few Go to College They speak of the hard struggle they are making to earn an education and how near the goal they are —sometimes just needing one more subscription to win the coveted and highly desirous prize. Few of these purported students really have any intention of going to college. Instead, the practice merely is a highly profitable racket, which they work first in one town, then move with their crew manager, to another community. A Better Business Bureau investigator questioned one such salesman, who claimed to be a student at Butler university. However, the salesman pointed in the wrong direction when asked where the university is located. Finally he admitted he and his co-workers had no intention of going to college. Cheat on Magazines In a crew of eight young men professing to be earning money for college, it was found not one intended to become a student, and, of the entire group, only the crew manager had been graduated from high school. Many bogus magazine salesmen offer combinations at attractive prices and collect the money, but forget to turn in the subscriptions. Some publications use college men during summer vacation, but these salesmen carry credentials and easily can be identified. Complaints also have been received from the housewives who made down payments to fast-talk-ing salesmen taking orders for aluminum ware, Christmas cards, suits and other articles which never were delivered. By the time the victims learned of the deception and notified police, the salesmen safely were out of the city. These cases are exceptional, but should be guarded against, Some Are Legitimate This series of stories is not intended to convey the impression that all “doorbell ringers” are gyps or frauds. There are many legitimate salesmen, attempting to make an honest living by selling a wide variety of worth-while articles, who engage in house-to-house canvassing. But their lot has been made difficult by the increasing number and annoying flood of petty racketeers and beggars. A few precautions, if observed, would reduce greatly the heavy toll Indianapolis pays racketeers: Contribute to recognized charities where a known proportion of contributions actually goes to charity. Deal with dependable business concerns that sell merchandise on its merits. Discourage beggars by referring them to organized agencies that aro equipped best to provide permanent relief and care. If a beggar says he “has been refused aid,” obtain his name and address and report the case to the Family Welfare Society, where detailed report on any case will be furnished the person making the report.
