INDIANS TAKE ON CUBANS IN SECOND BATTLE Islanders Peeved, but Jack and His Warriors Have No Fear. . WIN FIRST ARGUMENT Catcher Joe Casey May Be Added to Hoosier Squad. By KB DEB ASH. TfaaM Sports Editor. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 25. — The Indiana and Cubans today tangied In tie second contest of the two-game series at Doc Moorefleld’s baseball lot. With the first gafne to their side of the ledger, the Indians felt that they would carry away the bacon in this afternoon's game. Adams was slated to pitch, with Henllne again behind the bat. The Caban boys were on their toes today, hopeful of copping the contest, but Big Chief Jack doubted the ability of the Islanders to whip his squad. The preliminary sale of seats was good, indicating the Interest taken In baseball in St. Petersburg. The Hoosiers have found many friends in the southern training camp. YOUNG receiver has ruNcu. Another catcher, Joe Casey, a youthful Redleg, is expected to accept an offer made by the Tribe officials. Manager Hendricks knows the scrappy qualities of the youthful Irishman, the winning way* he has. the records he has made as an arplring follower of the leathern sphere and as a wielder of the willow, Hendricks is confident that the addition of Casey to the Tribe's lineup will bolster pennant hope! materially. Casey gained his minor league experience on the coast and is said to be ripe for Class AA company. He is not the same Casey who played with the Indians several years ago. The coining of Casey—ls he does come—will, however, not mean the release of either Cosset or Henllne, as Manager Hendricks plans on carrying a trio of backstops, largely because of the "Injury jinx" that camps on Gossett's trail; Dick is such a mixer in the harness and traveling the bag-route that it is almost imperative that the Tribe maintain three catchers, especially if they proceed to make good on that pen-nant-snatching promise to the fans back bomeKERG’S KNEE . STELE, SORE. Waiter Itehg is still laid up with a twisted knee. He and Dick now answer sick call at the morning inspection of the Tribe. It was hard hitting that won for the Indiana in the first game yesterday with the Cuban Stars anil thereby they put over an 8-to-7 victory—victory that cheered the training Tribesmen. While the Cubans had a number of leaguers In their lineup, leaguers that have lust finished a successful series with the Washington Americans, yet they were outplayed by the Hoosiers. It is true that’the first inning looked dangerous for the Tribe. . From a strictly critical viewpoint, the Hoosier limelighters were Murray, who did not allow a run during his four in. nings on the mound. Then Wolf played an all-round good game. And, by the way, Rchrieber was a wicked one with the stick, a home run, a double and a single. Murray "hisser’ got two hits, by jiggers, boys. WOLE LOOKS , LIKE RKt.ILAR. Hendricks waxed enthusiaviio over the work of Wolf at the second sack. It begins to look as if the former Notre Dame star had developed earmarks of a regular berth occupant with the Tribe. Wolf is also hitting consistently. Outfielder STflnners is continuing to -tUsplay -fine form, another youngster who evidently will he one of the American association sensations of tbe^season.

CHECK WIGGINS. Over in Australia they think Chuck Wiggins, local light heavyweight, who recently returned from the antipodes with nothing less than the heavyweight title of the land dangling from his belt, is "some man,” and the fighters in this man’s country have been looking at things in the same light, but they have been figuring backward. Chuck didn't hive the right to step up and tell the world he was A “man” until he piled out from under toe blankets this morning. Tell that to some of the pugs that Chuck has bounced off in the last few months and they would order you shot at sunrise, but It’s straight dope. >■ Here's the idea. When Chuck separated himself from the hay this morning his mother was there to give him twenty-one old-time slaps back. Now you’ve got it; this walS the tall boy’s birthday, and he's just 21 years old. Although only a youngster In years. Chuck can be considered a veteran of the ring. He has fought his way to the frout in the heavyweight class, still has plenty of pep and ambition laying on the shelf, and is dot going to stop until he has had a few cracks at the big title. At the present time the local boy Is training hard for his bout with Battling Levinskv at Canton, 0., Monday night, and he is confident of a victory. The bout is scheduled to go twelve rounds, but Wiggins has developed a mean kick in either mitt since ho started his Australian invasion, and many of his admirers expect him to put I.evinsky to sleep before the final gong sounds. Cliff Thomas, Australl/n lightweight, who acted as trainer for W'ggins dur ing his stay in Australia, an(l later accompanied him to this country, has been sending the Indianapolis., pride through his paces for the' last month and pronounced him in great shape yesterday. Wiggins has also been training with a pair of local heavies. , Chuck has been promised a bout with Georges Carpenticr, European cbnmp, who came to this country a few days ago to see what he could do with the American scrappers, if he can put Levinsky away Monday night.

AN INNING WITH THE AMATEURS By CHARLIE LOGAN

The Indianapolis Amateur Baseball association i§ going to open May 1. and It is going to open in regulation big league stylishness. R. Walter Jarvis and James H. I-owry are planning to have Mayor Charles W. Jewett toss up the first bs.ll in the contest that will be played on Riverside park diamond No. 1. As the schedules have not vet been framed nnd the diamonds nlloted. it is impossible to say at this time just which teams will play on the Riverside diamond. The Motor. Commercial, City, Manufacturers', Sunday School. American Legion and Municipal circuits have completed their organization. Carl Callahan is going to get busy and straighten out the Junior league muss next week and start another loop on the right path. No dressing behind the bushes goes this year. Mr. Lowry stated last night that there will be a "dressing room” erected at each diamond. They are not going to let the "scoop seekers" from the newspapers, and the "shekel hunters” from the sporting goods stores hold office in the association this yar; Ain't that the nuts? The clnb entry fee has hegr. raised to ten bucks. Each player will have to pay a dime to get in and a nickel to get out. Blame it on the high cost of holding meetings. Mr. Lowry will attend the National Amateur convention at Cincinnati next month and he probably will be full of news when he gets back. Wonder what the fellers from other cities will think when he tellls ’em how big we are going? The date for the next meeting has not been set, but it probably will be held during the next two weeks. When Herb Campbell, 'Military manager. gets "warmed up" nt a meeting he runs around like a chicken with its head n0 - | “Skeeter McCoodle" has ditched his catcher’s harner.s to become business nymager of the Rupp Juniors.

Heydler Asks Magee to Speak His Piece , Then Watch His Step No Telling What Might Happen if Lee Can't Furnish Proof.

By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, March 25.—The next move In Lee Magee's private war with the Chicago Cubs and the National league has been put squarely up to Magee today. President John Heydler of the Nntlonal league has invited Magee to speak out and promises that in the event the player produces evidence to uphold the charges he threatens to make, the National league will take prompt and effective action. In accepting Magee’a challenge, President Heydler has broken a silence with regard to unpleasant rumors regarding the so-called "betting evil" that has indirectly been working a harm to baseball and fandom Is awaiting developments with a great deal of interest. President Heydler’s stand that, there are no charges'against Magee on file at National league headquarters and that no further attention will be paid to Magee's cas. unless the player comes forth with evidence, calls for a showdown. In a telegram to a friend in New York today Magee said: "I have not at any time made any threats as*to what we would do whon we bring suit against organized baseball for a just hearing. If I have been quoted as doing so it was done without my ‘ knowledge and against my wishes.” Magee evidently refers to a statement alleged to have come from him and made public yesterday. Robert Alcorn, counsel for Magee, promises to make Magee's charges public on Saturday in a letter to President Heydler unless the latter "grants Magee a hearing.” This Mr. Heydler has refused to do unless Magee can produce proof that the charges he is prepared to make are true. That’s the Pepper ALBANY, N. Y., March 25—With two minor amendments the Walker fifteen-round decision boxing bill passed yesterday by the senate today was expected to go through the assembly without serious opposition.

Irish, Cray, Harkenrldcr and Meyer also managed to get up to a money place In the Individuals. Pritchett couldn't turn the trick. The best individual scote he got wouldn't dare stare a double eentnry in the face. Such is life, they can knock ’em a curve when howling for Instance, but when they start after the shekels they get lost lti the rush. Hnrkenrldr saved his bacon with a 222 heave.
