BIG DOINGS AT CROWLEY WHEN BABE BLOWS IN Rice City Plans Great Reception and Indians Prepare Little Surprise Party. WIN OVER COLLEGIANS CROWLEY, La., March 15.—With the biggest exhibition game of the local seaton due Thursday, the Indians today returned to the double practice grind, and If work counts they surely will be in fair shape to give Babe Ruth and the rest of the Yankees some real opposition. The Yankees are coming with their best line-up for the St. Patrick's day attraction here and from all indications this town Is going to don Its gala colors early that morning and keep them conspicuous until late at night. The local movie houses have obtained Babe Kuth features for that day and as a means of attracting greater attention both the Indianapolis and New York clubs have been sent lnvltatios to view the offerings free of charge. In addttion to the show treat, the K. of C.’s have planned a blowout In Babe's honor, to which ali the ball players in town have been Invited. Manager Hendricks scheduled more hitting practice today because of signs Indicating that his squad Is lacking the punch with the bat. The tribe athletes have been getting along swimmingly in every department with the exception of "pasting the apple," and as Hendricks does not care to take a bunch of hitless wonders North, he means to discover hurriedly Just how his present aggregation stacks up with the willow. A few of the members have hit satisfactorily, but as a whole the ringing base knocks have been lacking, hence the order today for lengthened batting practice. Tne Tribe players voted the auto trip to Lafayette, La., Monday, the best ever. A fleet of cars donated by Crowley residents carried the athletes over the twen-ty-two mlle9 of fine roadbed and a splendid diamond was found at the end of the Journey. The Hoosiers hooked up with the Southwestern Institute nine on the college boys’ campus and It was a big day for the rah rah adherents, even If they did get swamped. The Indians won easily, 12 to 1, the pitching being divided by Whitehouse. Stryker and Jones. The last named, being a Louisiana native sou, was presented with a fine bouquet by 1 the athletic association of the school. The fielding of Attreau and Vandyke and the fielding and batting of Schrelber featured. Manager Hendricks sent out more wires In search of pitching talent today and something Is expected to develop shortly. Somewhat Easy Indiana. AB. R. H. O. A. E.

C., and knows about all there Is to be found 91U about his Job. With Bacon as his running mate, the local five will bump Into some stiff defensive play. It will be a battle worth while whatever the outcome.

PITCHER LEE BARTLETT. The best looking pitching rookie In the Tribe camp at Crowley is I.ee Bartlett, former Canadian leaguer. In addition to having plenty or stuff on the ball, Bartlett appears to retain steadiness In the tight places. According to the opinion of Dick Gossett, veteran catcher, Bartlett stacks up better than any rookie hurler ho has seen perform during his long service In the game. If Manager Hendricks can get one star out of his spring crop of rookie pitching talent he will be satisfied, and it looks as though this right hander, Bartlett, is going to be that man. Frenchman Appears All Thrilled Up Over Word of Battle From Our Tex GRIMESBY, England, March 15.—“1 have received assurance from Tex Rickard that arrangements have been made for me to fight Jack Dempsey, July 2, in New York,” said George* Carpentler here today. In response to questions regarding his match with the world's champion. •‘l've cabled America that I am ready for the contest with Dempsey. Subject to everything being in order I will go into training the end of April and start for the United States some time In May. "I have a feeling that at last there Is a definite prospect of Dempsey and I getting Into the ring. I no longer feel that the match is In the air. I'in delighted."

PREDICTS ROBINS WILL FLY HIGH

NEW YORK, March 15.—“1 expect th* Robins to fly off with another National league pennant." Wilbert ltoblnson, genial manager of the champion Brooklyn*, wired tills prediction today from the New Orleans training camp. "All our players hare tbe championship bee buzzing in their bonnets." Robbie continued, "and I'm with them. If the hold outs. Wheat and the others, report, I believe we can finish on top of tbe heap again. “I look for a pretty smart pennant race. New York and Pittsburgh are going to be closer contenders than they were last year, while Cincinnati, Chicago and Bt. i.ouis are gure to be strong. Boston and the Phillies look like the weakest team* on paper. "Anything we have on the Giants and Pirates will be in pitching strength, as I see It. And that counts mighty heavy In a long, hard race. "My players are a willing lot. They work as hard in a training game a* they do In any other and they make thing* much easier for me. Last spring I had the best conditioned ball club In the league and expect to lead another finely conditioned team Into the coming race and get away to a good start, when the bell ring*.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1921.

WTO HAMATE W aa/SMMQg * Kr

The first open meeting of the sand lot ball tossers of Indianapolis will be held In the council chambers of the city hall tomorrow night. James H. Lowry, president of the National Baseball Federation; Henry Harris, president of the Indianapolis Amateur Association, nnd R. Walter Jarvis, director of recreation, will be there to see that things are Btarted on the right foot, and that the first 1921 step of the organization will tend to make it a bigger, better thing than it has ever been before. All managers and prospective managers are requested to attend this meeting because one of the first things done will be to change the rules of the association to suit several changes made by the national directors at their January meeting. The teams represented at the meeting will be classed and placed in the leagues to which they belong. A lot of other business will be transacted at the initial meeting, and those who miss out may have a hard time catching up with the other fellows. It Is pretty tough to think that the Premiers, 1920 city champs, and the G. & J. Tires will be out of the Motor League this season, and that the Indianapolis Abattoir team will not be in the city circuit. These three clubs have always kept things humming in their respective leagues and It will be hard to fill their vacancies. It Is also rumored that the Link Belts will not be among those present In the Manufacturing League. That's another something tough. It Is expected that a lot of factories and business bouses that have been In the background In the past will come out with teams this season. The South Side Turner baseballerg are answering the call of Manager Buck Neu and doing a little Indoor work on these cool Sundays. They will be ready to step out with the first signs of real diamond weather. The Turners hooked the independent championship lust season and they will be even stronger this year. About this time last year Bab Mattern was looking for some ono who wanted to give him a uniform. Now he la looking for the fellows who want to buy them. He's working for Westing. Wallle Mlddlesworth and Helnls Goott are showing Pat Page their oil out at Butler these days, Elelnle Is working at the short field and Wallle Is covering the Initial sack. Neither is a bad bet. A real ball battle was staged Bundsy between the Colts and Vets or the neigh borhood of Ray and West streets. The Colts won In s walk. Bass Lucas. Klim Nord, Skinny Bousche and some more of the veterans’were out with the oldsters With the season coming In In a hurry, the West street athletes are dragging out the little white donkey for their usual spring training Jaunts. Yep, Herb Campbell will have his Military A. C*., Juniors, Midgets, Mngets, Independents. Specials, All Stars, Indians and Ramblers out again this year. Huzzy Harris will pitch for a couple of these teams, play first base for a few more, and fill In for the rest of them wherever they need him. Josh Devore, manager of the Grand Rapids club of the Central League, is go lug after one of the city s smartest batteries in Sam Werake, pitcher, and Tom Sweeney, catcher. Sweeney, In the past, lias not paid much attention to professional baseball offers, but If he goes with Devore he should make good in a hurry. Three other members of the 1920 Pre- 1 mler club who have signed contracts for league ball this season are Johnny Gau- j lerna, Charlie Schaefer and Harry Stein- , metz. Gaalema, an outfielder, and St hao- ' fer, a third baseman, will be with Flint, i

“Thors will b no changes in our lineup If the hold out* coino back. However, I have I.amar and Nels to replace Wheat and Myers. I think I have a corking young pitcher In Sam Post. I7 pitched Portsmouth to th* Virginia League championship last year, lie is a big, spaedy left-hander with a • lot of fine curves. He tos'wtg overhead. "Young Taylor should be useful behind the bat. Ho has a lot of pepper and a good arm. He Is also fast on his feet. Pfeffer, Cadore, Mainuui, Mlljua, Mitchell and Mohart look batter than aver. We'll mitu Grime* If ha don't come ba-k and wa need lieuther, too. Sherrod Smith Is one of the best relief pitchers in either league because of bis control, and ho won lots of games for us thut way last year. Meyers Is one of the most valuable men to the club and I'm sure he’ll come to terms. “I think Brooklyn has it on rival contenders In the way of balance. Our club Is strong In every department, with no great outstanding star. As for that 1 don’t care about one-man teams, such as the Yankee* with Ruth, the Pirates with Maranvllle, St. Louis with Hornsby and Chicago with Alex. When you have a player like one of those the'other boys arts roado to play second fiddle and they don't like It. They don't do as well as they might.”

and Steinmetz, a shortstop, will go with Devore’s team, along with Earl Plummer, a pitcher, and the other players mentioned. The youngest Indianapolis amateur who has a trial In the pro ranks this year is George Broughton, former Technical High School star, and a member of the Premier club last season. Ha has had little trouble keeping pace with the fastest combinations this city has been able to put out for the past few years, and should make a good running mate for George Orme with the Brandford (Ont.) team of the Mint loop. Broughton plays a brilliant game in the field and swings a mean club from either side of the rubber. A whole raft of other Indlanspolls youngsters are In line for league Jobs this year and the number already signed for try-outs probably will be doubled before the respective mayors, chiefs or police, or whatever they happen to be. fire the first bulls. In mentioning the ball players who are getting their chances this trip we should 1 not forget the fellow who probably has done more to bring out the present crop I of fast sand-lotters than any other man In the city, Johnny Gaeth. Johnny Noonan, George Broughton, Tom Sweeney, Johnny Gaalema, Charlie Schaefer, Billy 1 O'Neill, Wullie Polrer, Sam Wernke and the rest of them all were started with or pulled up by Gaeth, and this gent can not be given too much credit, Gaeth was manager of the original Rupp team, which for several years was the fastest semi pro combination In the State. Several of the fellows who are "stepping out” this season were members of this club. In the meantime, let’s pull for a bigger, better amateur association and turn out some more diamond stars. Any ball players wishing to try out with the Merchant Heat and Lights are requested to attend a meeting at the corner of West and Georgia streets at 8 o'clock Wednesday night. A couple of good pitchers are needed. R. Turner, Skaggs, Powers and Crim take notice. The last year’a Marlon Ramblers have organized again this year under the name of the Mariou Rambler Athletic Association. M. L. Aker Is president, Fred Butler treasurer and J. W. Wellington manager. The Ramblers have such players as Becker, former Premier fielder; J. Henn, a stnr southpaw, and Colllna, former shortstop for Shelbyvllle. The club will back two teams this season If enough talent can be gathered. Meetings are held every Friday night at 312 East Washington street. For Information call or write M. L. Aker, 325 North Noble street, Circle 12T2, or J. W. Wellington, 419 North Delaware street. Circle 6726. The Apollo club will organize s baseball team for the coming season at u mooting at the Ein-Roe sporting goods store tonight. AH former nlayers and players wishing to try out lor the team are requested to attend. The Spades baseball club is holding regusr weekly pradio* In preparation for an early season’s schedule and desiro a good catcher. Call Webster 7373 and ask for George. More than fifty candidates attended the first baseball meeting of the year at Shortrtdge yesterday afternoon after school. Coach Julius gave a short talk, outlining the season's plan*. He said s first and second te im would be orgtgnlzed, with schedules for each. Two games with Tech, two with Manual and two with Cathedral High nine hare already been fixed, with about four out-of-town games. The second team will play two contests with the Brooks Prepartory School nine In addition to several game* All pitchers and catchers were to report for tne first work out this afternoon after school lu the gym. and other players will hold their first practice Thursday. A captain will be elected the latter part of this week. The Indianapolis division basket-ball team of the Pennsylvania System won tha championship of the southwestern region by defeating the Decatur (111 ) team representative# or the Peoria division by a score of 51 to 23. The game wag fiercely contested during the first half, andlng In a tie, 13 all, but the last half the visitors were nnable to stop the team work and basket-shooting of E. Beam of the winner*, who registered twelve field goal# for his team. The Pottawnttami basket-hall team will stage the curtlan-ralser for the Km-Koe-Ft. Wayne K. C. game at the "Y" next Thursday evening, and wishes to secure a first class quintette for opposition. See Pottawsttaml manager at the Y. M. C. A this evening.

Two of the games were draws and one remains In doubt. Bammv had lost three contest# out of 300 previous to last night.
