TRIBE ENGAGES TAMPA NINE IN FAST CONTEST Jack Singing ‘Pitcher Blues’— Outside of That All Is Well. EMERICH HAS STUFF By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 31. Thy last exhibition game in this camp v.-as scheduled today at Moorefleld park, between the Hoosier A. A. aggregation and the Tampa Florida leaguers. Manager Hendricks Instructed Adam3. Murray and Crum to limber up well in morning practice, ready for mound work for the Indians. And the heavers of the leathern-ptll opened up in high gear, advanced the spark of interest in final workout and the Indians picked up with mid-season form JACK'S IN THE AIR. Os course the few pitchers now on the meai-ticket list of Boss Smith has caused Big Chief Jack to wear out circles in pacing the space before his wigwam. It takes pitchers to win pennants, he argues, and in order to round out the already brilliant, promising Tribe, he realizes that & “find” or two must be combed from the bushes. Pug Cavet felt like taking a chance today. First Baseman Covington, still the solitary bench warmer, continued to complain of his shoulder. Rehg and Gossett are nursing bruises, but are feeling better. The Tribe is practically ‘‘all set” for the Chattanooga game* next week. MAY PURCHASE PERMANENT CAMP.

Perhaps the outstanding feature ot the week is the effort of local real estate men to interest the Tribe’s head, “Boss" Smith, in buying a piece of land here for a permanent training camp. To follow np such a proposition. Mr. Smith has consented to talk turkey if the city officials thaw out and lena some aid as a civic investment. Smith has admitted he likes training conditions here and would not be adverse to return in 1921. However, no definite plans have been made yet to affix John Hancocks to any bit of parchment, and the Indians and the natives are simply “dickering.’ When the whistle blew last night the Tribesmen were “dog-tired." Two snappy workouts during the day put them to bed worn out, but indicating the speed of the squad. WOLF ALL. SUNSHINE I) IF, Louie Wolf Is greatly elated over the fact that he seems to have cinched the secotsd base job. and he even threatens to make the fan 6 forget Steve Yerkes* history on the circuit last year.

Emrich, the new outfielder, secured from the Phillies, is now considered a fixture, having shown plenty of class.

Georges Not to Be Bothered by Scraps With Second-Raters Frenchmen Say They Came to Meet Champ — Don't Want ‘Setups.' By HENRY L. FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW Y’ORK, March 31. — Francis lies'•arnps is not a knockout in handling English, but he carries a good punch in plain old “doughboy American." “No chance” he said with ease today when asked how Mike O’Dowd, Mike Gibbons, Gene Tunney and Harry Grebe stood for a bout with Gearges Carpenller. * "To all who say any one but Dempsey, I say no, no, quick," the dapper iiftlp manager of the European champion said. “We come to America to get the fight with the champion. When we fight Dempsey we have the grand chance to win the* big honor. Georges will get no more titles by what you say knocking off the set up.’ Georges, he is the Euro pean champion. If he did not want to be the world’s champion, he stay at home. And he will not get the crown bv fighting the little ones.” About that time Georges himself, with a bathing cap arrangement on his head to keep liis freshly shampooed locks in place, strolled into the room. “Would the gentleman talk to M'seiur Carpenter in English ? He is trying to learn your language,” the interpreter said. "Georges, do you want, to fight Mike O’Dcwd, Gene Tunney or any of the boys who have been challenging you?" he was asked. "No, hot eegzakly.” be answered with one of the characteristic shrugs. “It is this way,” he went on. “When I whip Joe Beckett in London. I win the right to fight Jack Dempsey because before the fight they say that it be for the right to fight Jack Dempsey, and when I win the tight, I am the one to fight Dempsey.”

Asa swimmer, Ollie is the club’s best batsman, and after his Tuesday experience he says no more deep blue for him.
