NEW YORK, March 12. —“We’re going to have a mighty good hall club and, although I look for severe opposition, 1 think the Reds will be in the thick of the next pennant race." This greeting came today from faraway Cisco, Texas, where Pot Moran is whipping the Cincinnati Reds into shape for the next National League derby. "I’m much encouraged over the outlook for the former world's champs." Moran continued, “despite the fact that we are troubled with holdouts. Roush, tiroh, Itepf and Daubert have refused to sign contracts so far, but I am not going to yield a dollar to a one of them as they have already been offered liberal contracts. “The recruits in camp are showing so -well that the holdouts haven’t been missed as yet, and with more than a score of players working out every day, the Reds are making real progress in the way of conditioning. “Naturally 1 cannot sav just now liov* the team will line up when the bell rings.

NEW YORK, March 12.—After the final game of the world's series last year, John Heydler, president of tile National League, said : "It's spirit that wins the 1 ball games.” In the Army they call it morale. But any name, the Cleveland j Indians were full of it and It didn't blow 1 away during the winter. | Tris Spanker is with his tribe in Dal--1 las without a hold out. He didn't have j one. The world's champions all signed I during the winter. On the other hand, four of the Brooklyn club's bulwarks, ! Grimes, Smith.

Pat Moran says he has already tilled the places of Grob, Roush, Kopf and the other* with recruits. Cos!.

Earlham Will Drop Baseball; Plan Big for Track Programs RICHMOND, Ind., March 12 With tiie announcement that Earlham College will ahundon baseball for this spring, except perhaps for student games with Richmond teams, the college is preparing tor the biggest track season In Its history. The final work tn baseball will he left to the students, hut according to Coach Mow* there is little possibility that teams from other cities or colleges will be brought hero this spring. The Maroon mentor s ates that th* money lost every year In the baseball season can be profitably spent on Refit field in much-needed Improvements to the track. A cement curb will lie placed around the inside of the oval to provide a better drainage system and so that there will he a definite pole for the runners. It is also planned to reduder the track. A call for volunteers to provide the manual labor for the improvements was made in the chapel exercises Friday morning.

of whom finished the 1029 season with us, and Seiffert, a Canadian League recruit, will round out a strong combination of twlrleis. Seiffert, by the way, pitches like Eddie Cieotte and looks like a real comer. “Felix, a young first baseman from Denver, is on the Hai Chase order, a very clever fielder who covers a lot of ground, throws left-liandod and bats right-handed. Sam Bohne, the inflelder from Seattle, looks like a regular for sure. He ts possessed of all the earmarks of the finished player and probably will play third base. If Groh reports I expect, to shift him to second, which was his original position. If he does not come back I will play Fonseca, a recruit from the coast, who is a very hard right-hand hitter, at the middle sack. EXPECTS CRANK BACK AT SHORT. “Two youngsters, Srhirmer from the Florida League, and Schmeid, a New York semi-pro, are trying for the shortstop position, but Crane probably will be back at short. “I expect Roush to be on the ground before long. He will play centerfleld, with Duucan in left and Charley See in right. See was the utility man last year and he takes Neale's place, while Paskert will be used as utility outfielder next summer. “As it looks to me the Giants are going to be a vigorous contenderlj'or the pennant and Pittsburgh will bear' plenty of watching. Brooklyn will also put up a great fight to repeat and St. Louis and Ci Ic-ago should by dangerous all the time. It is going to be quite a race, but I am confident that the Reds will be in the thick of It."

WARMING UP with the TRIBE

CROWLEY, La., March 12—This spring's crop of Tribe rookies looks promising and there is every reason to believe that two or three will be able to meet the American Association pace. Os course, if only two stars were obtained out of the lot Manager Hendricks would consider himself lucky because it is no common thing for a youngster to step off the sand lots or out of the little minor leagues and earn a Job in the American Association. Last year Ralph Shinners was the lone green Tribe rookie to stay with the Hass A A pace. Butch Heniine made good, but Butch had seen the American Association before and in addition had put in a full season In the Three-I League. Os the present rookie squad the players who probably will survive the first shuffle are Pitchers Ettling and Barta'tt, Outfielders Morrison and Vandyke, First Baseman Attreau and Catcher Dixon. They possess wbat appears to be natural ability and sufficient baseball gray matter to warrant giving them thorough tryouts. First impressions indicate they have the necessary fielding ability and throwing arms and therefore the question regarding their fitness for berths in the A. A. is up to their strength with the bat Solving Class AA pitching is what usually knocks the majority of rookies sideways, hut Manager Hendricks means to give the above-mentioned players lots of time to show their stuff. It would be placing too much confidence in Dame Fortune to take a chance on predicting tow many of the Tribe’s rookie talent would make good, but it would be safe to say that it’s going to take careful culling and that the prospects are bright fur perhaps three of the youngsters starting and staying with the 1921 Indians.

An automobile carrying three and outfitted for overland travel stopped in front of the corner drug store. To all appearances it had come a great distance and the curiosity of the bystanders was aroused. One or the Indianapolis news paper men approached the car and asked

the gentleman at the wheel where he hailed from and what his destination might be. “We are from Indianapolis,” came th*. reply, “and we are hound for Los Angeles.” It was quite an unusual incident, both to the Indianapolis ball players and tbe tourist party when it was made known that this was the camp of the Hoosier team. The tourist party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde W. Hawkins and son of 555 West Moreland avenue, Indianapolis. Owner Smith believes in doing things to please his athletes. He saw a fisherman coming one day recently with a fine line of trout and he purchased the entire string and had the fish sent to the hotel to be served especially tor the players. It was quite a treat because the trout were freshly caught in a nearby stream. Crowley at one time was an unusnally sporty town and the presence of the ball players here has revived some of the fun-loving spirit of the past. Horse racing was popular here In days gone by and even cock fights were frequent occurances and heavily attended. Horse racing was such a success that the ponies were raced at night over a halfmile track lighted all the way 'round. Now the residents are excited over baseball and all the stores close when a game Is staged. “Everybody out,” they cry, and away goes the town to the ball yard to enjoy the afternoon. Catcher Dixon brought in new tales of the letter-writing activity of Butch Henline when he came over from San Antonio to join the Indians. Dixon reported at the New Y'ork Giant camp eurly aloug with other rookies, including Henline, and he said Butch showed the Mg leaguers something in the art of picture postcard sending.

TRIBE LEADERS WOULD BOLSTER HURLING STAFF Hendricks and Smith to Take Trip to Camps—Henline May Return. CARDS WIN GAME, 1 TO 0 By EDDIE ASH, Dally Times Sports Editor. CROWLEY’, La., March 12. —After dropping two games by close scores to the squad of mixed regular* and rookies of the St. Louis Nationals, the Indians today were scheduled to take on the New Orleans (Southern Association) Club in the opening skirmish of a twogame program. Jones. Ettling and either Bartlett cr Cavet were to divide the pitching this afternoon. Due to the fact that the Crescent City team has quite a following in this section, a big Saturday crowd was expected to turn out. The Sunday exhibition, no doubt, will see the park swarming with fans because the blue laws are still unknown in southwest Louisiana. Owner Smith and Manager Hendricks held a conference this morning and decided that it was time to get busy on the problem of bolstering the pitching stuff. The crop of twirlers here is by no means weak, but they prefer to be better fixed in the burling department. Therefore, the Tribe directors announced today that they would do the disappearing act next week by donning the gumshoes for a hike to th* big league camps in Texas. First, they will visit the camp of the New Y’ork Giants at San Antonio, where they will endeavor to obtain Pitcher Jess Winters, or any promising talent that McGraw may have slated for more seasoning. Also, they will investigate the report regarding Kansas City’s efforts to obtain ButcL Henline, who was sent to the Giants by Indianapolis In a big player deal. HENLINE LIKED BY’ OWNER SMITH. Owner Smith is anxious to see Henllns back with Indianapolis if the Ft. Wayne youth fails to make good with the McGraw men, and he will take the question up with the Giants on his trip to Texas. Following a stay at the Giants camp Smith and Hendricks will go to Dallas to inquire regarding the possibilities of obtaining Pitcher Jess Petty again. Petty hurled for the Hoosiers last season and performed creditably and every effort will be made to get him back if he is not retained by Cleveland. The St. Louis outfit got only one hit In the local game Friday, but they managed to get away with the honors, 1 to 0. It was a six-inning affair that was halted by wind and rain, but enough action was shown to bring encouragement to Hendricks over his pitchers. Striker worked four innings and Whitehouse finished. During that time the Tribe heavers were nearly perfect. One hit, a scratchy affair through Schreiber, was the only thing that looked like a safety for the Cards. Schultz the St. Lonis twirler, also was tight and the Indians managed to find safe territory only three times. They got men on the bases, however, and realiy played the better ball despite the fact that they lost. Lutzke, Sicking and Vandyke got the safeties for the Hoosiers. The Indians were beaten in the seventh when the rain came and the score reverted to tbe sixth, though no markers were made by either team after the Cards had scored their one in the early innings. A summing up today of the occurrences at the Crowley ball yard since the Indians started practice there last Saturday led the "board of strategy" of the club to rank Pitcher Bartlett, First Baseman Attreau, Outfielder Van Dyke and Catcher Dixon as the strongest candidates among the rookies. Attreau and Van I)vke showed up especially well Friday and Lutzke. getting a chance at third,' gave further indications that he mean's to crowd someone for a regular Job ou the infield. The Indians will be taken on an overland auto trip Monday to play an added game to their spring schedule in the South. They will ride in a fleet of autoa to Lafayette, twenty miles east of here, to play the nine representing the Southwestern institute. Following that game the Indians will return to the daily double practice grind until Babe Ruth comes to town t>t. Patrick's day.
