TRIBE INVADES CAMP OF REDS FOR TWO GAMES Halt at Tampa for Short Time to Scout Up New Headquarters. REHG TO JOIN TEAM By EDDIE ASn. Times Sports Editor. TAMPA, Fla., March 18.—After a trip across Tampa bay from St. Petersburg, the Indians rested In Tampa for an hour today, and then hopped a “rattler” for Miami, where they will take ou the Cincy Reds tomorrow and Saturday for two practice games. Owner Smith, Vice President Smith and Manager Hendricks visited the Tampa ball park during the brief layover here in order to get a few pointers on the training facilities in this city if Jhe.v decide to pass up the St. Petersburg camp sooner. than originally planned. The players have continued to register dissatisfaction with the sandy ground at the “Sunshine City” park, and indications are that If Boss Hendricks does veto the Bt. Petersburg park the new training field will be either Tampa or Macon. The Tribe came over ‘on a steamer, leaving St. Petersburg at 8 o'clock this morning, and left here facing a train ride lasting until 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. Outfielder Rehg, a holdout, wired his .whereabouts Wednesday and will be waiting at St. Petersburg when the Hoosiers return from Miami. O'MARA DOUBTFUL ABOUT SIGNING. Ollie O’Mara, who is included in the personnel of the Tribe party, is not yet a full-fledged Indian, since he has merely accepted terms offered, and has not yet signed the necessary documents. “Officially I am yet unsigned, but I beliepe I will sign np,” declares Ollie. It Is believed that one of the outlaw teams in the Steel league or an Indus trial team has made him an offer, bu: the truth of the matter is Ollie doesn’t know himself. When he arrived in St. Petersburg he found n telegram from his wife urging him not to put his moniker to a Tribe contract until be received a letter from her. and Ollie is obeying orders from headquarters. He told Owner Smith last night that the Indianapolis terms were satisfactory to him if he remained in organized baseball, and that under some circumstances he would Join an outlaw league. Therefore It is presumeed that an industrial plant backing a ball team has made him an offer. Be that as It may, O'Mara will be included in the Indian lineup opposing the Reds tomorrow and Saturday. Crum and Adams will pitch the first game Friday and Murray and Ferrell /- , \ Bronkie in New Role It is a decided fact that Herman Bronkie will not cover the hot corner for the Indians this season. Word was sent out from Hartford City, Conn., today that Herman has signed a contract to coach the Trinity college baseball nine this season and he intends to quit professional ball for “keeps.” This word will not go well with Big Chief Hendricks, who has been trying to get Bronkie's name on a contract for several weeks. Although Bronkie had refused to sign, it has been the consensus of opinion that he would play here this year, as he had a habit of waiting until the season opened before joining his qlub.

win go on the mound Saturday. The Indians expect to make a good showing with the champions. The Washington outfit defeated the Tribesmen yesterday at St. Petersburg, S) to 4. Walter Johnson hurled four innings against the Hoosiers. and Zachary finished. Johnson used his "offirial" speed, hut the Indians stood up there ?nd whaled away, getting n brace of markers off of him in the fourth frame. Two other runs were scored against Zachary in the ninth inning. riTCHER MURRAY GOING GREAT. The slab work of Southpaw Murray was easily the feature of the Indian's playing. He went five innings and was touched for only four hits and one run. Murray reported Monday and his form was exceedingly farorable, bringing forth congratulatory comment from both Walter Johnson and Clark Griffith. Hank Schreiber got a double off each Washington hurler. Wolfe capered well \around the third sack. Ferrell finished the contest poorly for the Hoosiers and was bumped hard. N'l<;k Altrock, baseball’s greatest comedian, played first base for the Nationals and kept botb fans and players laughing at his antics. He pulled some new stuff along his old line and proved to be a headliner, nineinning scream, worth the price of admission. The aviator boys help boost the attendance at the game with stunts above the park, but the plan to take up one of the Indians did not materialize because the sky pilots decided the ball park was too small a lot in which to attempt to make a landing. GOING HUNTING FOB PITCHERS. Both Preaident Smith and Vice President Smith may be sent scouting for pitching aid, visiting the big league camps to bid for talent. Mijus, a former Mud Hen, sent to Brooklyn for a tryout, will not be counted in the possi bilitles by Manager Jack Hendricks now since word has been received from Brooklyn that Mlljus will be sent ba.-k to the Mud Hens if he fails to make good. The Giants and Reds appear to be the best bets in the hopes for surplus pitching material. The Indians are getting along well in practice. The early stiffness and winter awkwardness Is wearing away. The main yelp comes in the poor infield of the St. Petersburg park, but even that has not been used much as an alibi. YESTERDAY’S BOX SCORE. Indians. AB. H. PO. A.

WARMING up with V V TUT? TUTUT? By EDDIE ASH 111 IL illlDlj Times Sports Editor

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., March 18.— Smiling skies, singing birds and budding flowers—that is St. Petersburg, the springtime home of the Indians. There are oranges and other fruit galore and the sunshine is perfect for baseball developing purposes. The ground at the park where the Tribesmen train is too sandy, but the weather is so ideal that it's useless to consider the poor grade of earth a drawback. The ball players ride to and from the park in 'autos and everything is done with speed. Even the small boys are a clean set of chaps and they are always ready to help “shag” the outfield hits. A young bird dog loafs around the Indians' bench. It is still In the clumsy age and the players have made it a pet because of its amusing antics. Every day following practice Manager Hendricks lines the "kids” up for a race. He hits one of the used balls far to the outfield and the boy that reaches it first is given the ball. Asa result the small boys of St. Petersburg are practicing ning in order to increase their chances' of winning an expensive baseball. • —— Elderly tourists here are horseshoe pitching bugs. They toss ringers morning. afternoon and evening at Williams park. The Indians missed out on a royal greeting when they failed to arrive hero last Thursday night, due to late train connections. A number of Indiana people were at the station with voices tuned ready to sing "On the Banks of the Wabash,” when the ball players alighted. Former Gov. Hanly said that .he had planned to be one of the singers. St. Petersburg boosters were disappointed over the fact that their plans for a big welcome were ruined, but they staged a short demonstration any way when the ball tossers did finally pull in Friday. Eighteen newspaper men are with the New York American league squad, which is training at Jacksonville. Only three scribes are with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The difference is Babe Ruth, home-run king.

Play opened on Wednesday night with fourteen teams In the running, but six were eliminated in the first round and the remaining eight will finish things up tonight., the final game being carded at 10:30. The youngsters put up some hot scraps In the first round of play .and the large crowd that turned out for the games is p.xpeeted back for the closing attractions. C. A. Caldwell, athletic director of the Boys' club, and one of the big cogs iu the city Junior association, was more [ than pleased xvith the showing on the first night and he Btated yesterday that I every effort will be made to put tho event on at the Y. M. C. A. next year.

Debonairs and Den Zares Battle Tomorrow Night The Debonairs, champions of the city amateur basket loop, and the Den Zares, ruunersup up the federated circuit, are primed for action in their battle on the Marion club rourt tomorrow night. It will be the first meeting of the two teams this eysou und comparative scores offer the only dope on their standing. In this the Debonairs have a slight shade on the Den Zares. However, the Federated leaguers are fall of fight, determined to take the green and white crew down the line for a defeat. First eall was issued by Manager Evans for basebal talent this week ana a sijnaa of thirty men turned out for initial practice. 'the "Deb" nine bid high for the city championship last season and then chances of going to the front this year are bright. Several former high school' players have been registered In the club lately and there is a possibility of the north side organization putting two teams In the field. Milroy to Build Larger - Gym for Basket Quintet MILROY, Ind., March 18.-Sentiment was crystallized here last night for an enlarged gymnasium when Milroy turned out in force to honor Us basketball team for the progress it made in the state higli school tournament. The school house was crowded at a '‘pitch-in" dinner, which was attended by nearly 500 people. “They brought Milroy before the public and the United States,” declared Frank McCorkle, township trustee, in reference to the team. ‘‘They beat teams from towns several times the size of Milroy and would have taken the state championship this year if they had had the regular floor to operate on in practice.” Zionsville Quint Cops The Zionsville basketball team defeated the St. Mark’s five, 23 to 18, for the championship of the Northwestern Basketball league last night. The defeat put the St. Marks into a tie with North Park for second and* third places. These teams will meet next Wednesday night for the playoff. Grace Presbyterian five defeated St. Paul's 19 to IS, and Martin Place won from the Communal House Juniors, 12 to 11, in the other games of the league last evening. BETTER SUB THAN BEVO. DETROIT, March 18.—Mel Coogan, Brooklyn, substituting for Johnny Dundee, who was too ill to fight, gave Johnny Mendelsohn of Milwaukee a handy trimming in a ten-round bout here last night. Speak But the Word and the Deed Shall Be Did The faculty and students of Butler college yesterday started in to show “Pat Page, the newly appointed athletic director at the Irvington institution, that they are behind him to the man and all that he has to do when he wants something done is whistle. When "Pat” addressed the student body at Butler Tuesday morning he mentioned the fact that before coming to the chapel he went out behind the athletic field fence to write his “speech” and didn’t notice until after he had finished his composition that the fence had “left,” leaving eniy a few lonesome looking boards sticking up in the air as a remembrance. Early yesterday morning a load of lumber was delivered at the collega, and within fifteen minutes more than 100 students and a few carpenters Were busy plugging up the “peep boles.” Page made a few other suggestions before returning to Chicago Tuesday noon, .and when he returns to tke up his duties here he will find everything just as he wants it. \

TIMES

Gossip picked up in Jacksonville indicates thut Babe Ruth not only is hitting home runs in the day, but he is hitting hard at night. The big fellow is said to be spenuing money freely and getting lots of night air. One baseball man in Jacksonville said that Babe evidently is determined to put all other wild big leaguers in the piker class when it comes" to speed in the downtown league. It is said that Ruth\spent more than ?1,000 the first two weeks in camp. lio is working hard on the ball field, however, and is drawing enormous crowds whenever the Yankees play an exhibition game. Mahager Hendricks is happy over the arrival of Ollie O’Mara. Ollie was the leading third sacker iu the A. A. last season and he no doubt will repeat. O'Mara is one of the best hit-and-run batters in baseball ana his consistent heavy hitting makes him one of the most valuable players in the association. Indianapolis put it all over Cincinnati In the Crane deal. In addition to receiving $5,000, the Indians got both Scbreiber and Smith in the deal, and it looks like Scbreiber alone is a better allround performer than Crane. Both President Smith and his son Willie, club vice president, are wildly enthusiastic over baseball and they have their hearts set on turning out a peunant winner their first season as Tribe directors They have sunk a fortune in the club and if ttfey get the breaks on the weather the coming season Indianapolis fans are going to see a high class team perforin. The opening 'ls nearly a month away and all weak spots in the lineup will be strengthened by the time the bell rings. With new concrete boxes built at Washington pnrk the fans will feel like they are In the big leagues. Admission prices will be increased ' slightly the coining season, the boost being general through out the league and country. Baseball officials everywhere have found it necessary to ask the fans to pay more because the cost of bsseball has more than doubled. Ball shoes that, used to retail at $7 now sell for $lB, and that is only one instance of the increased cost of the game's upkeep.

mum A. B. C. GOSSIP. PEORIA, 111., March 18. With a score of 2,915, the Crystal Park bowling team of Canton, 0., rolled into third place lb 1 the five-man events of the American Bowling congress tourney here last last night.

Nelson of Chicago, with 648 ami 646 respectively, took eighth and ninth position among the individuals. !i. C. Morrison, South Bend, went into second place in the all-event with 1,860. They put on the usual "dog'’ in the Knights of Columbus loop lust night. Lee and Schmidt pounded the wood like truh knights should and the Ninas slipped the Santa Marias a couple of clever trimmings. The Ferdinands used a little knowledge und the Calumets didn't have a chance. Koßters got a 214. Mike Kelly bowled his final games with the Salv&dores for ,thls season and they celebrated by taking three from the Christaphores. Mike leaves to Join the Toledo ball club this week and his parting shot at the maples brought a 231 count. Mentzer heaved In 241 style during the first round, but his buddies couldn't get the habit and the I’lntas trtnimed the Columbians. The Marquettes were crowded with double eenturie: . They had more than enough to take three wins from the I*aSalles. The Shin Bones of the Elk circuit thought they were tough last night, but the Eyes made 'em trot oilt their pet supply of alibis. Rasmussen crashed into the 200 class every time and made jt easy for the Teeth to win three straight from the Antlers. Rass was ably assisted by McCullough and English. The Hoofs kicked the Ears into the middle of next season with three whopper totals. Kleifgon and his Hides couldn't stand the incessant pounding of the Tails and they let a braco of victories slip out of their grasp.
