of New Hui 1dK With Coming of Favorable Weather. TO BOOST SWIMMING Three Other New Gymnasiums Planned—Big Boost for Athletics. By CHARLIE LOGAN. On" of the largest gymnasiums in this section of the country will be erected by the Indianapolis Athletic and Canoe club otr the tract of ground immediately In the rear of their present home as soon as weather conditions will permit. Secretary George C. Spigel made this announcement today. The architects’ drawings for the building will be accepted at the next board meeting, to be held during the latter part of this month, and It is estimated that the cost of the structure will run in the neighborhood of $25,000. Mr. Spiegel stated that it is planned to iiiild a gymnasium large enough to accommodate any sort of indoor athletic contest. Seating arrangements will be made to take care of more than 5,000 people. Besides a gymnasium, the new buildng.will include a swiming pool of regutaiton size, one that will rank among the rest pools In the country. Several of the club members have already contributed a large amount of money to be used in erecting and equipping the gym. DONATES GROI NII AND MONEY. Carl G. Fisher led the contributors "hen be handed Mr. Spiegel a check for SI,OOO. Mr. Fisher also donated the ground on which the building is to he erected. Other large u 'nations have been made by C. C. Parry, L. M. Wainwright. Walter Mtrmon, W Tobin, A. It. Baxter and Taylor Wilson. Contributions are still pouring in from tile members and it i%believed that the club will be put to very littie expense. Although, no plans for the building have been submitted as yet. it is believed that the "sliding wsll" plan will be used, making it possible to stage various outdoor events, such as track and field meets, there during the summer months. "SLIDING WALLS" IN BIILDING. The sliding walls may be pushed out in the summer, making the building as cool, if not cooler, than “all outdoors," as the roof will be fhere to shelter the athletes from the sun. Thls is the forth announcement of large gymnasiums that are to be erected In this city during the coming summer. The Knights of Columbus. Elks lodge and city park board have already accepted

Ma jor League Clubs Back-Tracking Out of Southern Camps Teams ‘Jake’ After Enjoying • Period of Ideal Training W eather. After weeks of intensive training in the southland most of the sixteen major league teams have broken camp and started northward, or will do so by the first of the week. Most of the clubs enjoyed favorable training weather at their base camps this spring and the players, for the most part, are in good condition to open the ' season a week from next Wednesday. Several teams that have been barnstorming for the last week, particularly the Giants. Red Sox. Tigers and Braves, have run Into much bad baseball weather and some verv poor playing fields. GIANTS STACK I P W ELL. Os the three greater New York clubs, the Giants appear to be In the best condition. McGraw's men found Texas weather favorable and despite gloomy forecases that have been made for them, they look like a team that may set a fast pace when the season opens. The fine showing made by 1 rank Frisch at third base, and George Kelly at first, has balanced the loss of Chase and Zimmerman. McGraw’s pitching stafT is apparently in great condition and tne weakest "<>g In the Giant machine today is second base, where the veteran Larry Dole is making a brave stand pwrhe Brooklyn Dodgers have si own surprising strength in their series with the Yanks. . . _ „ Manager Robinson has a club that will bear watching and his pitchers ar.- ready. The success of Jimmy Johnson at third base and the "diseoverv” of Bernie Neis. who is filling Tom Griffiths shoes, put an end to Robinson's biggest problems. YOUNGSTERS TO GET CHANGE. The Yanks apparently are being trailed once again by the hoodoo that held c,vit in Bill Dorovan's time. The injury to Wilson Fewster and the retirement of Frank Baker completely upset the plans of Miller Huggins. Derrlll Pratt veteran second baseman, as evidently lost his grip and the Yanks are destined to start the season •,-lth two young players on the infield Bab Mussel at third and Aaron Ward at second. Rumors along the baseball nalto today hinted that Hugglnß may close a deal with the Red Sox for Oscar Vitt, using Ping TJodle as trading material. j BOWLING A. B. C. GOSSIP. PEORIA. 111., April 3.—W. Anderson of the Vermont team. Chicago, had a 1,301 score and an excellent chance to take the lead In the all-events in the American Bowling Congress when he finished his team and doubles here yesterday. Then he discovered he had overlooked the individuals in filing his entry list jnd the A. B. C. officials refused to allow him to go on in the singles. Few prize-winning scores were made today and changes of importance failed to come in any of the classes. Sippel starred among the starlights in the Big Four circuit last night. lie bashed the wood for 225, 216 and 186 counts. The rest of the Accountants fell down mn the job and they had a tough time taking two from the Transportations. The third round was even. Three ordinary totals gave the Locais as many wins over the Majestic No. 1 crew. Manion and Stewart each copped a pair of double centuries for the Locals. Doyle was all surprised up when he discovered he had counted 118 in his second game. He got a 133 In the thiid round. Hinkler took the one-round honors with a 246 shot He works with the Freight Claims. Coppola, a brother Claim, took unto himself a couple of double hundreds. Summing it all up the Freight Claims took three from the Majesties No. 2. Lowers Walk Record MADRID, April 3.—Gonzales Vasques yesterday won the chp given by the minister of wsr for the 100 kilometers 162 1miles) walking championship of Spain.

DETROIT, April 3.—Mathew Mclntyre, known In baseball as “Matty,” died last njght as a result of an attack of Bright’s disease, following a siege of influenza. Mclntyre was a member of the Tigers from 1812 to 1815. A widow survives.

plans for their buildings and work on all four will be started at about the same time. These gyms will give Indianapolis youngsters a chance to get the proper training and develop Into some of the beht men in the country. WORK ON OTHER GYMS. The Knights of Columbus and Elks have not 'ged very heavily In athletics during tise past, but they are planning to go deep in all branches of sport during the future. The park board gym will be included In a community house to 'be erected on the east side, and w il be a municipal affair, open to all athletes In the city at all times. When Indiana was granted a separate A. A. U. charter a little more than a year ago, it was believed that athletics would boom in the state, but owing to the shortage of pep and gymnasiums the organization had a hard time making headway. Next year the city will be fairly crowded with gyms and there is no reason to believe that sports will not be given more consideration by the various organizations in Indianapolis, and the necessary boom is bound to follow. ATTRACTION FOR GIRL SWIMMERS. A few days ago Thelma Darby and Regina Reis, two girl swimmers that Indianapolis has a right to be proud of, announced that they would quit the city and move to Chicago to become affiliated with the Central A. A. U. if swimming conditions were not bettered here. If these young ladles will now step up and take notice they will see that there is no need of their going to Chicago to meet with the proper kind of competition. More swimmers will perform here next year than at any other time in the his rorv of the city and some cf them will probably make Misses Darby and Reis hustle to hold their place of prominence in the game. NATIONAL MEET CARDED HERE. The national women's indoor 500-yard breast stroke swimming championship meet is to be held here during the latter part of this month. It has not been definitely decided where this meet will be held, but the Marion dub is bidding strong for It. and . it is probable that they will be awarded the charter. Some of the greatest women swimmers in the country will come here for competition in the national swim, aid a classy show is promised. The Indianapolis entrants in the event will include Thelma Darby, Regina Reis, Francis Bilisbarrow and Euphrasia Donnelly. Two other I. A. A. U. swim championships are carded for this city during the summer months. The "baby” organization has also been awarded the national gymnastic meet and the Normal college of the North American Gymnastic union is coming out strong for this event.

INDIANS TAKE IRON PATH TO CHATTANOOGA Scheduled for Tough Job of Watching Giants and Red Sox Battle. EXHIBITIONS CARDED By EDDIE ASH. Times Sports Editor. JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. April 3.—Sniffing the refreshing air of Jacksonville for the second time during their jaunt. Into the Florida territory, the land of perpetual sunshine and flowers, the Indians today enjoyed a brief layover here on their way to Chattanooga. The Tribe Is due In the Tennessee city late tonight. Tomorrow they will attend the Giant-Red Sox game, the Easter Sunday sport feature of Chattanooga. InHelders O’Mara and Louis Wolf were picked up here, the two players having left St. Petersburg a day in advance of the squad In order to bum a meal or two off of friends In and near Jacksonville. As Louie Wolf said. “There’s nothing so refreshing as getting even with relatives.” BUMS MEAL FROM ••COUSIN.” And O’Mara—well, he. too. rather fancied that his southern cousins (cousins, ldd you say, Oliie, tee-hee), would enjoy taking a squint at his sun-tanned hide. Ollie had no hesitancy in shoving his brogans beneath the hash boards of his Jacksonville cousins. Tomorrow Manager Hendricks will make another determined effort to pry loose some pitching talent frou. the New York and Boston clubs. He has been hoping that one of the two teams will find Itself hampered with an almost star In the heaving line, and Jack has a hunch that he will he able to grab off a hurler, too. GAMES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. Plans are complete for practice at the Chattanooga park Monday, with games scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Then the Indians will uinke a bee-line for home. Yip, Yip. Yip. Wa-hoo. Bally-hoo. Howdy-do. That’s the unofficial war hoop of the Tribe and the yelp that will enliven Washington park when the Redskins trail Into Indianapolis.

BATTLE WITH TIGERS HERE. Here's the dope, fans: Get your tickets to sec this trained band of sun-tanned Indians at Washington park next Saturday, Sunday and Monday when they tangle with the Detroit Tigers out on the West Washington street lot "hack home" there. Every mother's son of the Indians In baled a sigh of regret when they pulled out of St. Petersburg, for they fell in love with tropical gun and moonshine of "glory city.” They have had a wonder ful season of training this year, and received a glad band from most of the fans. feniintie and otherwise. A lust plunge in the blue waters of Tampa bay as taken by the Tribesmen late yesterday and the gay devils of the squad said farewell to the ’’mere maids” down the hay. TRAINING TRIP BIG tiUC( ESS. The outstanding features of the spring training ut Bt. Petersburg were the allaronnd playing of Hank Hchreiber; the rapid development of Wolf as a second baseman; tlie* improved form shown h) Pitcher Cal Crum, and the work of prom lalng recruits -Outfielders Shiuuer and Etnerlch and Pitcher Murray. While Tex Covington’s injured shoulder still gives Manager Hendricks a bit of a shiver of alarm, yet the Tribe'a active boas Is an optimistic cuss, and Is sure that Tex will come along all right. The present outlook is bright for a corking good opening start by the Indians when they hook up with the Toledo Mud Hena Wednesday, April It. SOME INDIANS SAN “SING.” The “barber shop quartet” music on the war back home has been but one of the features of tile trip. Now fake ZwlilIng, for Instance. Who thought he could sing? And there is Dick Gossett. Would you have suspected he was n carboncopy of Carusso? We never did. And bow about Louie Wolf? There’s Sbiuners, too. No side-vaudeville engagements have been booked yet by the Tribe’s warblers. Entries for the official hat boy's Job with the Tribe must be filed with full Clauer at once.

■ Warming Up With The Tribe ■ By EDDIE ASH, TIMES SPORTS EDITOR

ON BOARD THE TRIBE TRAIN, EN ROUTE TO CHATTANOOGA, April 3. “Sitting purty, folk buck home,” quoth Manager Jack Hendricks today, as he watched the southern landscape slip past. Jack Is wearing a smile In "spltd of the lack of another pitcher. Hunk Schrelber wonders if he can effectively sport that world's championship pin he's got when he strikes Indianapolis hotel lobbies. Sure, Hank, put 'er on and give ’em a chance to look you over. The team is still wondering "what lot they'll draw if they come back to Bt. Petersburg next year—the old bum lot they played oil this year, or the new grassy lot Doc Moorefleld has pipesketched. Doc has hinted of having in mind the proposition of getting two parks slaked off next season. The weather man down here can hit the ball If lit merely mentions “fair and warmer,’’ and maybe he can shoot in a shower or two for luck. YVeathet conditions have been ideal during the spring training, and ’that is one thing that makes the Tribe’s boss crazy about St. Petersburg. 0 1 When one of the members spied a bevy of boo-fuU girls at one of the little stations today It was all the other members gould do to keep him on the train. No, we're not even hinting anything. We don't believe in handing out a “word to the wives,” that’s us. With so darned much timber land needing cutting down here, Pitcher Murray'is ready to call the attitude of lumber magnates 'regarding prices las a “stick-up” game. 0 That horseshoe championship? Oh, hum. I guess the Hoosler sharp won’t have much trouble copping that prize when he goes down there to take on the natives. 0 Some ball players of the Squad are much like a greenhorn in a dross suit when they get their pictures taken. Baseball players often don’t know where to put their hands unless they grab a bat. And dress suit recruits don't either*. 0 Even some of the old timers had no fault to find with the water—in the ocean down at St. Petersburg.

The porter on the train today was right on the Job when ho became acquainted with the Tribesmen. He found the Indians jolly passengers, with nary a grouch among ’em. Much of the discussion today, ns the train has slipped along through this wonderful scenic territory, has centered on Easter celebrations of past, years. None of the discussions have been what one would term dry. Perhaps the most far-fetched Joke ever cracked on the train today was otto Louie Wolf Introduced. Far-fetched? Suro.

HUNS TRYING TO FORCE CAR IN AUTO RACE Belgian Said to Be Preparing German Machine for Indianapolis Event. WILL REFUSE ENTRY" Are the Germans trying to force a car Into the 500-mlle sweepstakes race to be held at the Indianapolis speedway, May 31? A. persistent rumor has been filtering through the auto racing world that a German made Mercedes car, to be driven by Theodore PUette, a Belgian, of Brussels, was about to be entered in the great speed classic. Speedway officials spiked any attempt to enter a German or Austrian team by stating they would not accept an entry from any representative of a former enemy nation. Then the Mercedes officials denied that they were even considering the entering of ii car in the 500-mile race. RUMOR POINTS OUT PILETTK. But Dame Rumor is still at work. Now she ha.s it that Pillette, the Belgian, will attempt to force the car into the race as his personal entry. The fact that a native of Belgium—the little country’s warriors that successfully held the huns at bay until France was in a position to strike —may attempt to enter a German made car gives the case anew angle, and the racing hugs are on edge. Speedway officials are saying nothing. Because of their previous statement regarding former enemy nations’ entries, it is expected that they •will refuse to ac- ] eept Pllette’s entry blank if lie elects to drive a Mercedes. HAS RACED HERE BEFORE. Theodore Pillette finished fifth in the 1013 race when he piloted a MercedesKntght, the entry of E. C. Patterson, wellknown Chicago sportsman Sometime ago the speedway officials : requested advice on the advisability of permitting former enemy nations to enter cars in tiie swcepßtakes. The replies were varied. Some wrote, : "I.et ’em come, we can bent ’em at racing the same as we did st Chateau Thierry and Be.lleau Woods," while others ’wrote,; 1 "They are not sports, don’t let them enter the race. They showed their tinsportsmanship in the big race." The speedway officials decided at that time not to accept any of the entries. Four Players Remain in North and South Tourney PINKHURST. N. C..

Saturday Feature of The Times HELPFUL HINTS ON POULTRY Article S—CHICKS

By FREDERICK J. CRICK. Former Extension Poultry Husbandman IT. 8. Department of Agriculture. The raising of chicks and proper care of same is one of the essential parts of poultry raising. Improper care, allowing the chicks to become chilled, poor feeding and allowing the stock to be affected with body lice and head lice will soon cause disease and stunt. If any of the above-mentioned occur it can never be overcome and causes considerable discouragement. The hatching of chicks is an easy matter, but raising is the greatest problem. Be sure If hatching by incubators that the proper incubators and brooders are used. When chicks are raised in great numbers outdoor brooders can be used or small houses, known as colony houses, can be used, having for heat a coal or hot water brooder. Then these can be used for roosting places for the young stock after removing the brooder stoves. If raising chicks on small scale, outdoor brooders, hovers or fireless brooders can be used. A good many times the mistake is made by feeding too soon. This should never be done until after forty-eight hours old. ABSORBING Y’OI.K TO AVOID DISEASE. The absorbing of the remaining portion of the yolk of the egg is necessary because bowel trouble will sure occur if this rule is not strictly adhered to. A few hours before their first feed sand or grit should be given with lukewarm water. There are numerous kinds of feeds that can be used for the first feeding, such as dry oatmeal, rolled oats, bread crumbs, hard boiled eggs or mixed grain, which can lie purchased at tiie leading feed stores. Several manufacturers of feeds have perfected a combination of grains with dried buttermilk added, which is very good. An important fact in feeding is not too much at one time, but often, which they will clean up in about fifteen minutes. I would suggest about six times each day for about two or three weeks would be sufficient. Dry feeding will always give best results, never allowing the grain to iie around and become mouldy. About the third day small grains, known as “baby chick scratch feed" can be scattered in a litter of cut. clover or alfalfa; this will afford plenty of exercise. PLENTY OF GREEN FOOD NECESSARY. Plenty of green food is necessary at this particular stage. Cut elover, tender grass, lettuce and sprouted oats can he used. Clabbered or buttermilk are good for the chicks and supplies the protein needed while In this growing period. Don't use sweet milk. Have regular times for feeding and see that sweet grains are used, because limber neck is caused by feeding poor quality grains. Wheat bran can be kept before chicks at a!) times or some good growing mash. Plenty of shade is needed, keeping the young chicks away from the older stock. See that the water is kept clean. A great many loses occur in raising of young chicks due to lice, causing them to be subject to germs carried by the sparrows. Would suggest using an adhesive powder which will exterminate the nits laid on the lacework of the feathers. For scratch feed if one so desires to ma ke: One part of finely cracked corn. One part of cracked wheat. One part steel-cut oats. Gan be used by scattering in a litter. For a inasb the following can be used: One part of cornmeal. One part of beef scrap. Two parts of shorts. Two parts of middlings. Two parts of bran. One-half part of charcoal. If not feeding buttermilk use two parts of beef scrap. After a month old gradually Increase the animal matter to 15 per cent. When three months old a combination of grains should be used such as— Two parts of wheat. Two parts of cracked corn. Two parts of hulled oats. One part of kaffir corn.
