TRIBESMEN SET FAST PACE IN DAY’S WORKOUT Take Advantage of Break in Weather and Smooth Lineup for Major Games. By EDDIE ASH. The Indians were scheduled to set a fast pace today In the final drill at Washington park in preparation for the opening of the three-day exhibition series with the Detroit Tigers tomorrow. Taking advantage of the sunshine, the Tribesmen turned out to smooth up their lineup for the heavy task facing them when they meet the better conditioned big leaguers and though held back by the weather for a number of days they went about everything in a determined manner today. AXL TIOEK STARS COMING. The Detroit club will be here tomorrow with all its stars present, according to advance reports, but the fans are bound to see some fighting Indians out there nevertheless and the series is not likely to be a walkaway for Hughle Jennings’ athletes. O'Mara, Zwilling and Jimmy Smith were due to join the Tribe squad today and, though the last named is not xn ■bape at present, O’Mara and Zwilling are ready, due to the benefit of the training in tfie south, and their presence will bolster the locals both in the field and at the bat. . , Pitcher Rogge has been delayed at home and will not arrive here until Sunday, he wired today. The Indians have caught the spirit of the tremendous boosting campaigns being organized for their benefit and they are determined to give all they have in order to show the fans they appreciate every help for the big American association opening with Toledo here next Wednesday. CELEBRITIES TO ATTEND OPENING. Gov. Goodrich Thursday sent an Invitation to Gov. Cox of Ohio to attend the opener here and at the rate the game is being talked up all over the.city there will be numerous other celebrities present. *■ The Chamber of Commerce.

Ralph Shinners, rookie outfielder, displayed his usual good form lu practice Thursday and he Is certain of beiug iu the lineup against the Tigers. Shortstop Schreiber and Second Baseman Wolf also cut a few capers around the keystone sack and gave the fans present something to talk of. The Detroit club will reach the city late tonight or tomorrow morning and will be quartered at the Claypool hotel.

TOLEDO ISSUES PENNANT TALK Hens Say Club That Beats ’Em Will Win Flag. Bv GEORGE PI'LFOHD, Toledo Blade Sports Editor. PADUCAH, Kv.. April 9.—Ou the eve of departure from this metropolis of McCracken county. Kentucky, it is possible to make two predictions, based upon faith. The first is that Roger Bresnahan will 5,0 t return next year to Paducah to train bis ball club. The second is the team that wins the American association pennant will have to beat the Mud Hens. The Intense cold of the early part cl this week hindered ttfe work' of tapering ofT the pitchers, upon which Bresnahan counted, but despite this ban-

Blue Bloods LOUISVILLE, April 9.—The Colonels have a classy outfield —they are "blueblood*,'’ ancestrally speaking. BUI Lamar 1* the son of the solicitor general of the United Slate* postoffice department; Roy Massey, the son of a famous lawyer. and Baldomero Acosta’s father was former mayor of Havana.

dicap the Hens will face the barrier April 14 at Indianapolis, ready for the marathon. A southpaw will report before the team departs for Indianapolis, and as he has been south with a major combination he should be ready to take his turn upon the mound, giving Toledo seven pitchers. -UUbABOIND STIFF IS HEX BOAST. As they stack np today the Mud Hens form a hard hitting, fast fielding, smart base-running team, with high class pitching and catching. .Starting in with the pitchers, Hresnahan can send almost any sort of pitching he desires against an opposing team. There’s Brady and Middleton, hook ball specialists, and, oh boy, but the King has a 6weet curve ball this spring: McColl and Hubuc, the "slop” ball pair, both able to throw the-oid apple through the hole in a doughnut; Luther Nelson is a speed merchant and so Is Stryker, who totes a knuckle ball upon which he depends in pinches. Norman McNutt appears to be booked as first string backstop. The fans will like the former Red. a smart catcher, good thrower and a splendid hitter, who drives them to right field like a bullet, although a right handed hitter. Mike Kelly und Han Mutpby (providing Murphy comes to the Hens), are well known in Toledo. Chattering Mike's voice is in good shape and he is binging the ball hard. Murphy has trained with the Yanks, and ig said to have improved over last season. George Beall, at first base, may not hit like Jason Kirke, but he will play rings around any first sacker in the circuit and will hit .265 or better. At second Bresnahan has Thompson and Ray Fox, The latter, if he can be coached to crowd the plate a little closer, ought to hit much better. At short Johnny Jones is covering more ground than he did last season and looks much better. Hia hitting, too, has Improved. Third base Is In capable hands, with Art Kores on the job. A fast, experienced head at tin- bo< corner. Kores has shown that he will bit the ball. And then there's that go-get-'em outfield. The fans are sure to rave over the fly-gobbling ability of Wilholt, Joe Kelly and Wickland. They size up as the fastest in the league, and if they do not hit .300 all around we miss our guess. ' On the bases they are speefl merchants, who should worry any pitcher in the league and keep the backstops guessing, too. Toledo fans are certain to like this year’s team. It is well balanced from top to bottom of the lineup. It has a great punch on the offensive and plays a tight fleldJng game. National Handball Play DETROIT, April B.—Dr. Carl Haedge of St. Paul easily defeated Payne of Cleveland and Curry of New York in the first and second round of the national invitational singles handball tournament here yesterday. Harry Bell, Detroit, eajsily disposed of George Sndheimer, St. Paul, in two •traighf games.

Both of tlie old fellows are working their heads off The fire of youth lias not tiled In their breasts. Paddy isn't expecting to do a whole lot of catching, nut Nig is as ambitious as the youngest recruit. There has been quite a change in Clarke since be returned from war service. He has forgotten some of the bad habits that took him down from his throne ns one of the best catchers in the American league. That was several seasons ago.

MANUAL SEES STRONGER FIVE NEXT SEASON South Siders Lose Less Basket Men Than Do Shortridge and Technical. Although the covers have been tucked in around basketball and the indoor sport has fallen into a sound slumber that will carry it over for several months, one would think this was the dawn of anew season to hear the basket fans, particularly those from the high schools, spreading the dope on how Manual, Shortridge and Tech are going to do and undo tilings next year. How atre they going to stack up? That’s the one big question that seems to he troubling the fans who won’t keep still. Taking the coaches at their word and giving things careful consideration It looks like Indianapolis will be represented by classier squads next year.

NEW MEN IN LINE FOR FLACKS. Where one of the schools loses a man it is picking utj a couple ,of good ones, and there Is not the least bit of “poplacking in either of the three camps. Manual seems to have the big chance to tear things up next. The south sloers will start the season with practically the same five men they used the last campaign. All last season’s men are eligible and Si does not seem as though any of them will be dropped by the wayside for tlte newcomers. Shixrtridge is not exactly without paddles. McLeay, Caldwell and Riley will fly the Blue and White colors again next year and they will be backed by a squad of first-class “rookies." Griggs. Black and Nipper are the remaining sheep in the Tech fold. MANCAL COACH IS ,n HI LA NT. Coach Morrison is more than Jubilant over his prospects for next year. He doesn't lose a man from last season's squad and. considering the fact that be took a handful of green material and 1 worked it up to a sWoflg quintet, it looks like lie wilt show some stuff the It Is probable that the Ilartnesou brothers, Emil and Harold, 'will work the forward positions at Manual again next year. However, they are going to have to show more than they did last year to beat I'nrnum out of a Job. This player was declared Ineligible during the flrt part of the season aud he played a great brand of Dal I with the ! • Y" leaders. Wertz and Strain, or Wertz and Sornt tilers, probably will be tin- Manual guarding combination. Sommers can be ttsed at either center r guard, but Morrison seems to like him best at the guard station. , , , Busrbell and Chapman will tight it out for the pivot position. Buscheil played this position on last season's team. Chapman could not make the state squad last season, but he attracted considerahle attention by bis work in the inferiH’hool league. TECH MAY IKE SHKTTI R, At the present time it looks as though Griggs and Shettur, forward*, and Nipper and Black, guards, are sure of positions on the Tech team, unless some exceptionally good players enter school next vear. Prayer, Hawkins. Slaughter VanArsdaie and Hay will be lost by the east aiders. The big thing bothering Coach Black is the scariofty of good centers. CotiDriley, Gelsel, King and Upder graft, gtmrd*. and Miller and Shettur, forward*, together with the three men that he has left from last season, are all that Coach Black needs to take care of the guard and forward positions, but he watched play in the tnterachool loop closely last season and fulled to notice a center in greeu and white uniform that suited him. Coach Tatlock isn't spending a lot of time worrying about copping the sectional championship next year. He be lieves he can turn out the state champs nt the nooib side achool. FLASHY STEVENS LOST AT SHORTRIDGE. The loss of "Hank” Stevens and Harry Uscol will t>e felt nt Short not near as much as one might suppose. There are several youngsters at the north side school who show alt the earmarks of developing into real talent, and indications are that the team next year ■will be much stronger and faster than any that has sailed under the Blue and White banner for oevcrHl years. Kilgore and Floyd, guards. Elmore. Churehmun and Clark, centers, and Smith and Bash, forward*. look like the best of the Shortridge "coming up” talent at tills time. nf these few playefs, Churchman. Bash and Kilgore haVo the best chance to become regulars. Kilgore, according to Coach Tatlock, has been showing exceptional billty as a back guard in the inter-school loop, and he will bo given every opportunity to make good at that position. In the event tbnt he does toe the mark, . MeLeny, back guard on last year’s team, , will be shifted to floor guard. Churchman la the highest bidder for center. Riley and Culdwell nfe still eligible j for play, and it looks like the north siders will start the next campaign with Riley and Caldwell, forwards; Churchmau, center, and McLeay and Kilgore, guards. This team will average ten pounds more to the man than last yenr’s squad.

Handy Man KANSAS CITY. Mo.. April Manager McCarthy of the Kansas City club bus found a mighty handy man for his ball team this spring. He is “Red” Roche. He can play any position except pitch. The youth was picked from the St. Louis sandlots.
