TRIBE WOULD TURN TABLES ON ST. LOUIS Second Battle With Cardinals Set for Today—Big Leaguers Rally. SHINNERS HAS BIG DAY By EDDIE ASH. Daily Times Sports Editor CROWLEY, La., March 11—The Indians were feeling fit again today for the second clash with the mixed squad of St. Louis Cardinal regulars and rookies, and with the nervousness of the first meeting with the big leaguers worn oft, they felt capable of putting over a victory. Manager Hendricks planned to split the pitching again by using Jones, Whitehous? and Stryker, with Leo Dixon on the receiving end. The starting time of the game was moved up to 2 o'clock to permit the Cards to catch an early evening train to their training camp at Orange. Tex. Outfielder Van Dyke find Third Baseman I.utzke were to get a chance to perform this afternoon in place of Morrison and Baird, re<pecriva*4y. Both have been showing plenty of ability and they were expected to contribute their share of the damage against the Mound City outfit. Following tho game this afternoon the Indians will take on the New Orleans (Southern Association) club Saturday and Sunday at the Crowley ball yard. CROWLEY HAS GALA APPEARANCE. It was a gala day here Thursday and the vicinity of the ball park took on the appearance of speedway day at Indianapolis Fans came from distant points to witness the baseball opening between the Indians and squad of Cardinals. It seemed that every fan had an auto and following the game there were machines moving in ail directions and formInc traffic jams just like occurs after aport events in the big cities. The crowd pulled hard for an Indiananolis victory, but it wasn’t to be. and the visitors walked off with the ■natch, 7 to 0, by staging a big finish in the ninth Hendricks gave Pitchers Bart-1 lett Ettling and Cavet their chances to perform and the first named made an excellent impression. He went £our in nings and if his support had been solid the Cards would not have scored Ihe veteran Cavet was charged wita the de feat as the Indians were leading when he took up the twirling in the seventh. shinners lands THREE BINGLES.

WARMING UP with the TRIBE

CROWLEY, La., March 11.—This city is the home of Lieutenant Kloor of Moose Factory fame. His parents reside here, and it is said the nerves of the whole community were at high tension during the time Kloor and the other Yank balloonists were "lost. At any rate, Crowley got much publicity through one of lte sons being astray in the wilds of frigid Canada and a big reception will be given in the lieutenant's honor when he returns home. Since being rescued Kloor has not had sufficient time off to get back to his native heath. Kloor probably never saw snow before he grew up and left his home town, but he sure did see some of the frigid flakes around Moose Factory. A large rice warehouse burned down here nearly two months ago and thousands of sacks of rice went up in smoke. The fire is still smoldering. At the time of the fire rice had dropped from about 113 a sack to less than, $4 and for that reason no tears were shed when the warehouse was destroyed. The drop in rice caused a financial depression in the community and numerous residents were caught with unpald-for autos, phonographs and other luxuries on their hands. For that reason everybody is urged to eat more rice. *~ The terra ‘‘big league” is in popular usage here as a result of the Indianapolis baseball club being camped in Crowley. At one of the baseball receptions the pastor of the Methodist Church said in part: “I want you to know that Crowley is a ’big league’ city and that it does things In a 'big league’ way. Look at this chureh, for instance, it is one of the biggest and costliest in southwest Louisiana. It is a ‘big league church and I am here to tell you that there is also some ‘big league’ preaching in this community.” Doug Baird, Bob Kinseila and Eddie Sicking have been busy getting new members for the Order of the Yeli**.Dogs. They have taken in most of the rookies and even have invited some of the townspeople to join. The initiation fee is a thin dime, hut it cost more than a dime to get the kinks out after going through the rituals. Baird has been combing the community for a "badger” and a ‘ badger" fight is expected to be staged shortly. He has a dog to put in the ring against the vicious “badger” and is carefully looking the field over for an ambitious referee. Shine boys of the town haye been picking up plenty of pennies and nickels by dancing the shufflin’ rag for the ball players. An Airedale dog has been loafing

around the ball park and he is full of 1 business. He has investigated the bats, bat b ig, baseball satchel and chased over the field several times each day. Apparently he doesn’t care a snap about sleeping like the average dog of the South. A seven-story bujlding, now under construction. Is the pride of Crowley. It is the tallest building in any town on the Southern Pacific between New Orleans and Houston, and so enthusiastic over it are the Crowleyites that they are planning a roof gaiden. A rival elty erected a six-story building a year or so ago and Crowley got busy and boosted the ante. Doug Baird, Eddie Sicking and Bob Kinseila, the new Indians of recent major league pastiming, are not permitting their descent to interfere with their ambition. Each believes he still has the stuff to return to the big show, aDd the three follow any practice pace set without a murmur of discontent. Pitcher Paul Jones brought in some comedy with him i/hen he reported at the camp. Someone told him he was n hunter and that turkey hunting was good at this season. So Paul gut himself a shotgun and sought the wilds qf Louisiana. It was not long until he thought lie had a couple of turkeys sighted and he gave chase. For four hours he scrambled after the game until he clipped one of the birds and brought it down. Did be return with a turkey? Not. by any means; he left the buzzard where it lay. During the Indians’ first practice game last Monday a small fire started in the grand stand. There was much excitement while th? amateur fire-fig titers were in action with a bucket brigade, but the blaze was extinguished without loss. A walking fire department similar to the one operated by Dave Johnson at Washington Park, Indianapolis, probably will be organized here to patrol the ball grounds. If the noise of the big city life troubles you, come to Crowley. It is so still at night that it is nearly possible to hear the inaguolia sprouting another flower. Turner and Ripple Teams Ready for Third Battle The deciding contest of the Ttirner-Joy-Ulooin series will be played tomorrow night on tho South Side Turner floor. Both teams are set for the fray and confident of turning in the winning count. In the first game of the series, which is an annual affair between the clubs, the Turners won by two noints, and in the second scrap the Hippie team came through two points ahead. The Turner starters tomorrow night will be composed of Johnny Hennessey, Johnny Rice or ‘‘Hank’' Stevens, forwards; “Red” Underwood, center, and Brook Secrest, “Tubby” Stevens or Wallie Mlddlesworth, guards. The JoyGloouis probably will start the game with Millikan and Bridgeford, forwards; Bowen, center, and Dawson and Whltinger, guards. Tickets for the contest are on sale at the Eui-Koe Sporting Goods Store. Watt drug store. Broad Hippie, and Klueger jewelry store. Fountain Square. i

ALL THIS WANTS IS A LITTLE LUCK

NEW YORK. March 11.—“ We will enter the next pennant race with a better team than we had last year. If we get anywhere near an even break in the luck we will wind up on top." Trls Speaker, pilot of the world champion Clevelands, sent this prediction today from Dallas, Texas, where the Tribesmen are in training. ‘ With more than a week of good training under our belts without injuries to any player, aud every man in good health and working at top speed, I am not worrying about what the opposition will have,” Speaker continued. ■'So far, none of the clubs that figure to mnke a tight for the. pennant has shown me anything better than I will hrve in the field. I think, however, that the Yankees and Browns will be very stroug and I look for a good race. ‘‘Coveleskie and Bagby, our pitching mainstays last season, bid fair to have just aS much success next summer.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1921.

Drag Out the Adding Mills if Babe Gets Off to Early Start Opening Rush Should Give Ruth at Least Ten More Circuit Trips. NEW YORK, March 11.—When Babe Ruth smacked out fifty-four homers last season conservative baseball considered this the limit. Those who know the Babe said he would do better this year. Some know him so well they predict at least seventy-five this coming season. The Babe says' he is going to pass his mark, but lie's not mentioning numbers. From the way he's pounding the ball in the Yanks’ training camp at Shreveport it seems sure he will break his 1920 record. Perhaps he will knock out seventyfive. There seems no limit to his ability. Asa home-runner he has never been an early starter. When he made his first record he did not get under way until April 23. Last season he was led more than a month, not getting cranked up until May 1. Last year he was a stranger on the Polo Grounds and it took him some time to get the range of the right-field stands. Last season the Babe averaged a homer in every three games. At the s-ime rate he should pole out about ten more clouts if he gets the range from the opening game. Pete Harrison, National League Arbitrator, Dies YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March 31.—Relatives were apprised Thursday night of the death at Saranac Lake, N. Y„ of Peter Harrison, National longue umpire, which occurred that evening. Harrison suffered from tuberculosis, and went to Saranac several m inths ago in a last effort to save his life. He submitted to I several operations, without avail. Harrison graduated from the sand lots ! of Youngstown to organized baseball, and a number of years ago became a Nation il League arbiter. He was universally ; liked by the players and fans. During the winter he worked in ;he steel mills, i

NEW YORK, March 31.— Following their customary attitude, stewards of the Jockey Club refused to tell today why they had held up the application for a license from Louis Feustcl, trainer of the Kiddie stable and developer of the great Alan O'War.

League batsmen in the way of a perfected ‘'fingernail'' ball—and with the strictest interpretation of the rules, too— that will surprise them. I expect to see him gradually get away from the use of the spitball altogether. '1 believe every one of our players will show improvement. Young Sewell, for in stance, will surprise everybody this year unless I am badly mistaken. I expect him to shine as one of the best lnfielaers In the league before the season ends. He showed every one what kind of stuff he had when he hopped into the recent world's series with very little previous major league experience and played grand baseball. ■ Ray Caldwell tells me hts arm is better this year than ever before. Bagby says he experts to win ns many games as he did in 1920, and so it goes on down the line. All of the players are enthusiastic and eager for the bell to ring, and with the wonderful training wcath'-r we have been having, there Is no doubt we will be ready to a man.”

GOING BIG AT CROWLEY CAMP

GENE MORRISON. In the spring work-outs of the Indiana down South, there are indications that Manager Hendricks has picked up a live rookie in Outfielder G no Morrison, whom he purchased from the Winnipeg Canadian League club. Morrison has speed to burn and takes a nice cut at the bail when blitting. If he is able to show the goods against fast pitching he'll surely beat Walter Rehg out of n ,i.>)> He swings from the left side of the plate and goes down the base path like a streak.

RALPH SHINNERS. Outfielder Shinners still has plenty of speed on the bases and in the outtieid. He is also showing improved batting form over his 1920 style and if he develops into a consistent hitter he'll surely be sold to the big leagues next fall. Shinners kept himself In fine physical condition during the winter and he is looking forward to giving Indianapolis fans all there is in him.

Martinsville has the edge on Garfield of Terre Haute. Bloomington should trim Columbus, whil&e : Tech will have trouble with Vincennes. Much speculation is on as to the outi come of the eight games at Lafayette. So far these eight teams are reigning favorites : Frankfort should have no trouble with Pine Village in the first gam* KendalH ilia and Huntington should put ; up a battle royal at 10 o’clock with the I latter team given the edge.

Maron and Anderson will stage the big game of the afternoon, with the lattei running strong. Rochester will meet a strong opponent In Whiting but should go to the finals next wee.k.
