INDIANS AND COLLEGIANS IN BIG JAM TODAY Hoosiers a Bit Weak, but Ready to Battle for Revenge. SMITH THROWS PARTY Manager Jack Worries Most About His Pitching Staff These Days. ■ - By Eddie Ash. Times Sports Editor. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 27. Starting on their third week of spring training, the Indians today met the Southern College nine for the second time during the sojourn this year In “Sunshine City." In spite of the fact that several of the regulars were still listed among the cripples, the Hoosiers anticipated handing out a decisive lacing to the rah-rah boys, retaliation for the drubbing given the embryonic Tribesmen the second day in camp. Adams and Murray were slated to pitch, with Henline donning the 1 reust protector and the- big mlt. Caret was Complaining today wch an ulcerated tooth, while Gossett and Rehg were in the “sick bay” with other hareball injuries. PITCHING JINX STILL AROUND. The-jJ O S sign Is still being relayed over the baseball map of Uncle Sam’s domain by “Big Chief? Jack Hendricks and Owner Smith for pitchers. It has remained for the mimics of the Indlnu squad to stalk about the dressing rOoms when the question of more pitchers Is brought up, and to cry out In quasiShakespearean tones, “Ye gads and little Ashing-worms, my last droxx of white mule for a coupla pitchers.” (Manager Jack, however, has never looked in on any of the tragic imitations of King Lear.) Nevertheless, Hendricks has frantically sought to add some pitching material to his staff, but to date Uls appeals to the major clubs have fallen on dear ears. Yet he Is confident that just as soon as the weedlng-out process comes, when the big guns conclude their many exhibition games, that the woods will be full of good bnshers, semi-major leaguers who may bolster up the Indians’ fighting strength. The inflolu stacks up well enough, even with .Timmy Smith a holdout. The outfield probably will be satisfactory with Rehg. twilling. Shlnners and Emerlek In line. GOOD REPORTS ON EMERICK. This men Emerlek is anew chap, obtained from the Phillies, and while he Is not due to report until Sunday, he comes well recommended, and will battle It out with Shlnners for a regular outfield berth. No particular qualifications hare been pointed out In the “selling talk’’ with Hendricks, but It Is said that Emerlek Is fast. With Gossett and Hellne as catchers the backstop deportment Is all set for the start, with Leary joining up—maybe—In June. OWNER SMITH REAL SPORT. The good-heartedness of Owner Smith was shown yesterday when he offered to charter a boat and taka the players out Into the bay, Tampa Bay. to haul up a carload of fish, but as the water grew rough the land-lubbering athletes decided to trust terra flrrna rather 'han run the risk of feeding the fish. They turned down the boat offer graciously, but profusely thanked Mr. Smith for his generosity. Many of the players flirted with Neptune and the inere-malds of the beach during their holiday, enjoying the sand frolics and the dashing spray of the k ocean. k Some of the lady-killers did not get in ulltil long after the last Jazzy note Allied their terpsichoreau tendencies and clock began stacking.up on its morutrick. The lure of the glassy floors ■maul of the dancing halls of the Sun |Rtoe (lfy has gone home to the hearts ■f several of the Tribesmen, particularly ■he sllk-shirted swatters. IIYORK RESUMED ■this morning. I Baseball practice was resumed this ■morning, although the day broke threatienlng. Hendricks and Owner Smith are ■happy over the shape the players are in lafter’their workouts. With the exception ' of pitchers, the big bosses are sure they have a pennant-contending outfit. “What are the folks back home saying about the baseball team prospects'.'” the big bosses are asking. And the scribes are answering, “They hope Indianapolis lands another pennant. They have lots of confidence in you, Jack, and you, Mr. Smith.” The bosses grin.

Willie Lewis Says Georges Will Knock Jack a Fancy Curve Believes French Battler Will Defeat Champ With Brains and Cleverness. By HE>'UV FARRELL, lotted Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, March 27.—Twelve years ago Willie Lewis had the people of Parle saying of him as he passed, ‘‘There goes the great American fighter.” Twelve years ago that ‘‘great American fighter” told Georges Carpentier, a little puny French boy of ninety-one pounds, to keep going and he would get there if he fourrht like the Americans. Today they met again. “You’re right next to the top and you'll get there,” Lewis told him. "Have you seen him fight?” Carpentier asked. “Yes, and you can whip him," he am swered. “I think so, too,” was the confident return. “That's the spirit that’s going to make Carpentier the fi-3t lighter to hold the title of every weight,” Lewis said, after the meeting. “That boy whipped me in Taris back in 1912, when I was no slouch. ’ I saw him fight Papke, Jean Eitte and many others. I have seen Dempsey fight, and I say that Carpentier will whip Dempsey and he stands a chance to do ft with one punch. “Carpentier will out-think him. Ho won't stand up like Willard did and take everything he s got. He’ll figure out a defense and he will work it before the round is over. He’s got a terrific punch and he’s strong as a horse.” BOXING WIGGINS-LEVINSKY BATTLE POSTPONED Chuck Wiggins’ bout with Battling Levinsky, scheduled for Canton. 0., Monday night, has been postponed a week, according to word received from the promoters last might.

UNCLE SAMUEL PREPARES MEN FOR OLYMPIC America’s Best Athletes Will Compete in Every Branch of Sport. NEW YORK, March 27.—Our Uncle Samuel, the greatest athlete In the world, has started active preparations for the seventh revival of the classic Olympic games to be held at Antwerp, Belgium, during the spring and summer. The seventh revival of the games was originally scheduled for Berlin, but the gods of war or chance decided that Berlin was no place for the world’s athletic classic and caused the kaiser to stub his toe. whereupon Belgium drew the plum. But to get back to the subject—Uncle Sam is the champion of champions. Americans hold practically every athletic record extant and in the recent interallied games In France Uncle Sam’s boys cleaned up the boards once again just to remind our good allies of the fact that the United States Is the big foster father of all sports and that the Yank is an ariilete, first, last and all the time. And at that the soldier boys who cleaned up the inter-allied games were not. In the strictest sense, the pick of the talent that may be found under the shadow of the Stars and Stripes, though many of them, of course, were trained athletes. OLM I’IC COMMITTEE IN ACTION. The American Olympic committee, whiob recently held un important meeting here, has set Its machinery In motion at last and plans are being worked out by the various officials of national sport-controlling bodies for country wide tryouts and tho selection of America’s very best athletes In every branch of Olympic sport. The United States has been a competitor In the modern Olympics since their Inception In 1896. To date t*ere l\avc been six Olympiads held and America has won all of them. In the six Olympiads the beat athletes of the world have competed In a total of 145 events and out of this grand total America has captured ninety-two, almost twice as many as all other nations combined. The former Olympiads, with the date, the number of events and the total events In each renewal of the games that b'ave been won by the Americans follow: No. No. of wen riaM. Year. events by 1.8. Athens 1596 14 9 4’aris 1900 M 11 S' I-oul* 1904 26 *4 { ftens lOOrt 23 11 1 ondon 1906 *7 18 Stockholm 1912 32 IS There are a few world's marks at metric distances are held by European athletes. I'lxese events are seldom competed In by Americans, however, and Uncle Sam should fret about metric marks. YANKS HOLD WORLD’S RECORDS. ’ Among the world’s records that aTe not held by the Yankees —and there are but few'--are the two to ten mile running records bung up by Alfred Shrubb, once great British distance star, more than fifteen years ago. George Gould I ng, the veteran Canadian walker, and G. E. Larnxrr English walker, hold several world pedestrian records. Pat O’Connor’s broad Jump mark of 24 feet 11% Inches made In Dublin some twenty vear# ago, still stands and the javelin Word is held by Lemming of Sweden Germany, by the way, bolds one world’s nthletlc mark Just before the war Mick ler, a German, broke the world's figure for 1,000 metres. It said on good authority- that shortly before the signing of the armistice the Oermabs broke a num her of WWld's running records for 100 yards to 100 miles, but these were not officially clocked nor run according to Hoyle, so they don’t count Uncle Sam not only laid* the woTld In track and field athletics, but In yacht Ing, cycling, swimming, routing and bib llards, all International sports. And don't forget the seven classes of boxing, from the class of Jack Dempsey down. Americans hold *ll but one of these. Little Jlmmv Wilde Is welcome to and deserving the flyweight crown. in golf and polo the Brttleh have something of an edge on the real of the world Just at present, and the Canadian hockey players are generally considered somewhat superior to Americana. But your Uncle Samuel surely holds his share, of championship*, and he’ll bo grabbles more before 1920 fades out unless present Indications go awry, WOOD BOOM IS COSTLY AFFAIR (Continiiod From Page One.) packages containing expensive photo* connected with Wood it became evident that thousands of dollars were being dumped into Indiana In an effort to get the delegation. Finally, when It was learned that "testimonials for Wood" were being paid for at the current rate of 12.50 apiece, the whole campaign took on a laughable aepoct. LOW DEN CALLS y FOR SHOWDOWN CHICAGO, March 27.—A1l republican presidential candidate* were challenged today by Gov. Frank O. Lowdon to a showdown of their campaign funds aud expenditures. The following telegram.’sent by Lowden to Senator Borah, was made public by the Lowden campaign committee: "The statement made by you in the sennte Friday with reference to the expenditures of the various candidates In the presidential campaign to data, so far as It applies to me, Is In no way warranted by the facts. "I will gladly Join with all other candidates for the republican nomination for president In submitting to yourself or to a committee to be appointed by you all expenditures made In the campaign, together with names of contributors and amounts contributed, and all books, records and vouchers, for the purpose of the widest public!r.v. “I sincerely hope that this may be done, and at once."

These certificates were sent to tho army headquarter* and will be delivered to representatives of the Arms. Nine firms in New Haven, fifteen In Hartford, four in Bridgeport, sixteen in l’rovidence and two In Pawtucket will also receive the certificates, which read: “The war department of the United States of America recognises In this award your distinguished service, loyalty, energy and efficiency in war work, which aided materially In obtaining victory for the army of the United States of America in war with the Imperial German government and Imperial aqd royal Aus-tro-Hungarian government.”

Saturday Feature of The Times HELPFUL HINTS ON POULTRY Article 4—FEEDING

By FREDERICK J. CRICK, - Former Extension Service Husbandman, U. 8. Department of Agriculture. The poultry raising of today is far advanced over Ihat of the past. The present-day methods of feeding are more scientific with successful poultry raisers lining materials which are essential for egg production and supplying them to the birds during the season when the fowl is unable to obtain them. The average poultry raiser obtains eggs during the spring and summer months, due to the fact the birds obtain the ingredients on yie range which are essential for egg production. At present we are working against the principles of nature, using feeds composed of ingredients which supply the j material for making eggs and feeding during the months when eggs are at their highest prices, making our flock pay bigger dividends than ir we allowed th<?n to go along ihe natural way. A great many of the failures In the poultry business and raising of back yard poultry are due to improper feeding. Some fine birds and flocks can be ruined by using these methods and ali ways the point must be kept in minxj for which you are feeding so as the ! health of the fowls will not be impaired. To perfect good health and vigor in I the flocks a balanced ration must be | used, composed of all the elements necesI sary to properly supply all you demand ; and at the same time Insure the health i of the birds while kept under unnatural ; conditions. | First, It is always well to know the ! value of the different foods and why j used. ! The majority of people keeping chick- ! ens use one grain when they should use several grains mixed, forming a balanced ’ ration Animal foods contain a big percentage l of protein and take the place of bugs and worms that*the birds find while on the range. To supply the above, beef scrap, blood meal, fish scrap, green bone and milk. These are absolutely necessar-* In helping to develop the young chickens and laying hen. Clabbered milk and buttermilk are used to great advantage for this keeps the digestive organs In the best of condition. The feeding of beef scrap is usually mixed In a mash or fed In a hopper. Green bone Is used and fed In the same manner but always be sure that the product Is fresh, otherwise limber neck is caused sometimes from decayed parts. At the same time if fed In over quantity will cause bowel trouble. To feed green bone to excess will lessen the egg fertility. Carbohydrates include starches and sugars and furnish the heat to the body. These must not be used to a great extent because of forming too much fat, causing the bird to become lazy.

ASK MR. CRICK! He Will Solve Your Poultry Problems. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Dear Sir—Kindly tell me what to do to prevent year-old chickens from pulling each others feathers out. I noticed today that they stand very quietly (while the feathers are being pulled) Until their throat* are quite bare. City. MRS. C. Answer This Is known as feather pulling and is caused by close confinement, also a desire tar animal food, and this will not occur If your birds are fed a balanced ration. Keep a deep litter for birds to scratch lu which affords exercise. Dear Sir—l have a bird which limps and a large swelling seems to be on the bottom of the foot. Would you kindly tell me the cause and what I might do. Sometimes the toes swell and even the shank. Seymour, Ind. W. B. Answer—The above Is known as bundle foot and would suggest you use a sharp knife, cutting In center, allowing the pus to run out. After use some antiseptic such as iodine and Wash dally, keeping the sore covered. Place bird on some soft litter away from the rest of the flock. Census Figures * Subject to Change WASHINGTON.

Foods that are composed of carbob drates are corn, cornmeal, barley, bu wheat, wheat and ground oats. Green foods should be used In ea day's rations, If possible; If not, not le than three times each week. This supplies a tonic for the blood ax also acts as a laxative. Cut clover, cabbage, beets, lettoc sprouted oats and alfalfa meal can used to supply this necessity. Protein is necessary In all rations as supplies the necessities for supplyli muscle, blood and eggs. There Is a continual strain on the bod of the bird while supplying eggs and tl body must be kept in the best of dond tlon. The elements which supply bone an flesh are beef scrap, cottonsee’d meal, fit scrap and linseed meal. Substances used to supply the bo* structure parts of the feathers and tb shell mineral waters must be used, sue as oyster shell and grit. Having explained the necessities so egg production, the next problem is hoi to feed and when. The grain or combination of grain and mashes are most commonly usei and bring greatest success. Poultry raisers who try to lessen tb feed are the ones that never make i success. Mashes are the cheapest feed and stll give big returns. When feeding mashes to yonr blrdi grain should be fed only twice a day. This can be placed in & feeder ant bung on the side of the wall so th< bird* can have access at all times. One quart of grain allowed to eacl fifteen birds, fed twice a day In deep litter, affords exercise and keeps th< birds active at all times. I would suggest not to use wet mashes only fox fattening purposes. Table scraps are often used with good success, but can not be fed wit&out grain added to the dally ratjon. There are several good formulas whtcl can be bought and mixed or a numbei of good mashes. If you desire mixing your own thi following can be used successfully: 2 parts of cornmeal. 2 parts of ground oats. 2 parts of bran. 1-5 part of linseed meat 1-5 part of beef scrap. or 2 parts of bran. 1 part of cornmeal. 2 parts of ground oats. 1 part of beef scrap. % pound of salt added to each hundred pounds. SCRATCH FEEDS. 2 part* of cracked corn. 2 parts of wheat. 1 part whole oats. H part of buckwheat, 1 part of barley, or 2 parte of wheat, 2 parts of corn, 1 part of oats.

Wyoming Schools Enriched by Oil CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 27.—Nowhere, perhaps, are advances la the pries of crude petroleum more closely watched than In the land office of the state ol Wyoming. Every advance means a considerable Increase in the income of ths fctate from its lands in the numerous -Wyoming oil fields. These lands are leased on the royalty basis, the Btate taking its royalty In crude oil which Is sold at the prevailing market quotations. A recent ad vanes in the price of Mid-Oontinent ernds meant an increase in the state’s revenne from royalty petroleam of $113,000 a year, or approximately S3OO a day. The state now is deriving incomfr from royalty petroleum at the nte of about $2,000,000 annually. The money foes Into the permanent common school fund. Inasmuch as on*7 the interest on this fund is used for current school expenses, the royalty petroleum from state-owned lands rapidly is building np a great endowment for the public schools and event, ually may make direct taxation for ed cational puhposes unnecessary.
