Gossip From Spring Baseball Camps, Bowling, Boxing, Amateurs and Other Sports

INDIANS OPEN SECOND SERIES WITH MACKMEN Athletes Getting Ready to Give Crowley Fans the Farewell Wave. DOWN ATLANTA NINE t BY EDDIE ASH. Daily Times Sports Editor. ( L CROWLEY, La., March 26.—After demBonst rating their superiority over the Atlanta (Southern Association) team Friday by downing the Dixie outfit, 4 to 1, the Indians today were ready to hook up 1 " with the mixed squad of Philadelphia Athletic rookies and regulars in the first of a two-game series at the Crowley ball Lard. The Hooslers previously lied the iackmen In eleven Innings and then defeated them, 12 to 8, and. of course, the Hendricks men believed they were capable of tossing the hooks into the big leaguers again this afternoon. Paul Jones and Charlie Whttehouse were slated to take turns on the mound today, with Dixon behind the bat. The rest of the line-up was to be the same as it was In the contest with the Atlanta team Friday. The Athletics will remain over for another battle Sunday and then on Monday the Hoosiers will divide their squad for a final exhibition game for Crowley fans. A change In the departing time of the Hoosiers from their training camp was made today when Manager Hendricks announced that the 9quad would leave jhere Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock in{stead of later that night, as previous plans called for. Under the new arrangement the Indians will arrive in New Orleans Tuesday evening. ' On next Wednesday and Thursday the Indians are carded to tackle the Brooklyn Dodgers at the New Orleans bail lot. then they rest Friday and on Saturday and SuDday they perform In Baton Rouge against Louisiana State University and the Standard Oil teams, respectively. Following the game with the Oils the Tribesmen hop back to New Orleans to board a rattler for Indianapolis the morning of April 4, the schedule calling for the Indians to reach home about noon April 5, to prepare for exhibition contests at. Washington Park with Cincinnati, Butler College. Detroit Tigers and the Cleevland world's champions. As the dog days of the Southland training trip are reached, there are lndlcations that tne opening day line-up April 13, when the Hoosiers face the Columbus Senators, will see either Jones or Stryker on the mound, Gossett behind the bar, Covington Jt first. Sicking at second, Pchreiber at short, Lutzke at third amt three of the following four men In the outfield: Kinsella. Rehg. Shinnera and Baird. The last-named is at home in ths gardens as well as on the Infield and probably will be used out there If Lutzke continues to give satisfactory service at Phird base. There are a number of big exhibition games to he staged before April 13, however, and new conditions may arise that may call for a revamping of the above prediction of the opening day Tribe line-up. The Indians got away to a flying start against the Atlanta nine Friday and it was well that they did, because after the first inning Pitcher Purcell of the Crackers settled down and hurled a fine brand of bail. The Hoosiers shoved four runs over In the opening frame when they garnered three of their five hits for the dav. Opposing Purcell, howgver, at the start, was the Tribe's nhenom. Lee Bartlett, and this young fellow did not allow the visitors to take any liberties. They got only two hits off Bartlett during the five Innings he was on the mound and his performance was further indication that he means to stick with the American Association. Dixon caught another splendid game, but was unable to locate his batting eye, though he did show signs of finding his hitting stride by driving ont a couple of hard-hit fouls. Covington, Schrieber, Sicking, Bartlett and Attrean got the hits for Indianapolis and Gnyon. Smith and Purcell for Atlanta. The visitors scored their only run off Cavet in the seventh, the tall southpaw haring taken up the Tribe pitching in the sixth The Hoosier Infield again worked in rapid-fire order. Joe Gnyon, former famons football player and all-around athlete of Georgia Tech, played center field for Atlanta and out three hits In as many times up. Brie hit for three bases once and was prevented from getting a home run on it only by a fast throw from Vandyke to Sicking to Dixon. Guyon is a real Indian and appears to be a speed merchant. The Tribesmen stole four bases during the game and they were all clean ■teals. Their base-running in ail exhibition games has been of high order and Manager Hendricks believes the Indians of 1921 are going to be about the best team on the paths that he ever has tad at Indianapolis.

Tilden Warns Net Players to Beware of Jap Ascendancy Celestials Most Formidable of Nations Entered in Davis Cup Meet. NEW YORK, March 26.—"L00k out for the Japs!” Bill Tilden, 11, world’s prem'er tennis player, uttered this warning today in discussing the coming Davis cup ties and the efforts of foreign nations to lift the famous cup. “It is my firm belief that the Japanese ■team Is the most dangerous one of the field entered In the Davis cup lies," Tilden continued. "lehlyn Kumugne nnd Kenzo Shimidzu, who will be almost cer tain to form the backbone of Japan's team, are among the world's best tennis player*. "I have met. both players. I played Khimldzu twice, and although 1 won from him on both occasions, I feel that he is constantly becoming a better player. Kurnagae is agile, crafty, a deep student of the game and a great all-around player. It will not surprise me to see this pair cornu through to the round before the challenge round and I will be no morn surprised to gee them compete against the American team next summer for the Davis cup.” Tilden has been playing tennis for nearly a score of years. He has had to be a deep student of the game to attain the lofty place he holds in the tennis world today nnd he knows whereof he speaks. Furthermore, being conservative to a marked degree, he would not make such a statement unless convinced he was right. ‘ As the teams are lined up for the first round in the cup ties it is probable that matches will be played ns follows: Spain vs. England, at Wimbledon. Australia vs. Canada, either In Canada or the United Staffs. Czechoslovakia vs. Belgium, at Brussels or Antwerp. The winners of the Spanish English and Canada-Australian matches will come together in the second round, ns will the victors In the first round matches between Japan and the I’hllipplnes and Czechoslovakia. The other second round matches will be played between France and India nnd Argentina and Denmark. One of the last two teams named will have to cross the Atlantic. As It is impossible to foresee how the first-round matches will result, there is no telling how many of the cup ties will be played on this continent or in Europe.

Indianapolis Stars Will Figure in Big Wabash Purdue Tilt Ash and Sherman at Wabash, With Kiser and Wagner at Purdue. CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., March 26. Wabash's baseball team has Just one more week to get In trim for the first clash of the season, scheduled with the fast Purdue Unlversty nine at Lafayette on Tuesday, April 5. Spring vacation started here at noon today, and all next work the Little Giant players will get work-outs twice a day. The new diamond is not yet In shape, but Coach Harry Scboller hopes to have K in good enough coudltion for Infield practice Tuesday. Wabash, for the past four or five years, has failed to turn out baseball teams that ranked along the lines of Its football and basket-ball squads, but this season followers of the Scarlet are counting on having one of the strongest clubs In the history of the college. To date It looks as though the hitting department will be exceptionally strong When Schuller’s team takes the field against the Boilermakers ou April 5, there will be four ludianapolls lads on the diamond. All four of these players were members of the all State high school team of 1917. the lust tourney staged by the Hoosier schools and which

They are Herbert ‘'Tip’’ Sherman, husky right hander, who pltcned the Tech nine through the meet, grabbing all the games, Wagner, first baseman, and Ash, second baseman. Iliser caught for Manual at the tourney. On April 5 Sherman and Ash will probably be seen at their positions, as they are tioth members of the Wabash crew, while Wagner and Iliser are nowwearing the uniform of Purdue. It is also expected that Sherman and Wagner will oppose each other on the inouud. Wagner was one of Purdue's leading twirlers last year. Sherman is in the best of shape here aud every one Is counting on him to start the opener. The infield, which should be one of the strong departments of the team, may be crippled to a large extent when the Scarlet takes on Purdue. Mount, at third, is suffering with an extra bad “charley horse;” Weber, who has been w-orking at short, was spiked rather severely in practice yestetday, while Ash, who has been working at second, has been out of practice since last Saturday. He is suffering with a wrenched knee. The Wabash schedule for the season Includes games with the. fastest teams in the State, and it is probable that a few more contests will be booked with conference nines. Baseball is the talk of the campus now- days and everyone is anxious to hear the outcome of the first clash. Goar Heads Quakers RICHMOND, Ind., March 26.—Gene Goar of Tipton, Ind., was elected captain of the 1921-1922 basket-ball team by the letter men this week.

BOILLOT JOINS NEW RACE TEAM FOR BIG DRIVE French Star Quits Peugeot Team to Drive TalbotDarracq Car Here. IS DARING SPEEDSTER Temperamental Andre Boillet has forsaken the Peugeot racing outfit and will endeavor to hoist the French tri-color above the flags of competing nations at the wheel of a Talbot-Darraeq in the ninth international 500-mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 30. Buillot is a brother of the late Georges Boiliot, conceded to be the greatest driver who ever held a steering wheel. This year will be Boillot s third trip to the Indianapolis track. In his American racing debut, made qt Indianapolis in 1919, he met with ijfjs ippoiatmeut, being turned back whetvVunning in third position within twenty miles of the finish, due to the collapse of a wire wheel. The mount which Boiliot handled on this occasion employed even a smaller power plant than those entered in last year* event, having only 150 cubic inches piston displacement, and it was largely due to its excellent showing against the 300 cubic inch rivals that the new speedway racing rules limiting piston displacement to 183 cubic inches were placed into effect. Last year Boiliot piloted a Feugeot at Indianapolis. Like the companion mounts driven by Jules Goux and Howard Wilcox, the newly-designed Peugeot was found wanting, uud long before the race winner was decided, all three cars were pushed off the track, a helpless mass ut mechanism. When Boiliot rolled his car off on the grass in front of the judges' stand he shrugged his should* rs, climbed from the car with a smile on his face and said: "It eez through,” then wrapped himself in a highly-colored sweater and left the s4eno. In the last Targo Florio, run over the difficult mountain passes of Sicily, he .■pve the most sensational exhibition of driving lu history, accepting every risk and registering miraculous escapes no less than six times. His final feat of daredeviltry consisted of colliding with the grandstand to avoid hitting a spectator, who had wandered on the course, and then, finding hlmseif completely turend around, throwing on the power and cutting the finish line in laverse. During the World War Boiliot was a French ace, and the utter disregard for safety that he acquired daring his numerous air combats seems to have persisted with him into his racing career.

Baseball Gets More Attention in Prep Schools This Year Manual, Shortridge and Tech Coaches Busy Rounding Out Large Squads.

Baseball is coming in for more attention in the Indlfenapolis high schools this season than It has since the time Tech won the last State high school baseball champion, >hin tournament, held back in 1917. The diamond game has been somewhat neglected since the State tourney program was chalked off the list of high school sport events, but this season the ci aches are busy looking around for talent uud reports coming from Manual, Shortridge and Technical are to the effect that baseball is going to be a mighty big issue from now ou until the closing of school. Coach Julius has nothing much in the line of tried and true material at Shortridge, Riley, Ferris, Smith and Dixon being about the only men whom he can really rely upon to deliver the goods, but ho has a small army of enthusiastic candidates rushing each otaer for positions on the varsity, and it seems as (hough he will bo able to round out a formidable nine. RECORD CROWD AT TECHNICAL. Coach Crandall's call for Tech diamond men brought out such large numbers that be had to divide the squad in three sections, battery men, infieiders and outfielders. He will give each of those groups his personal attention in their turn, until he has found out Just who he wants for his State team. Then he will wish the near-stars over onto one of his assistants and go ahead with the work of putting out a Tech diamond combination that will rank on a par with the Green and White football and basket-ball machines in local circles. Two hundred husky youngsters answered the first call for baseball men at Manual. There are several veterans of last year's squad In this number und Coach Tricksy feels as though he will have little trouble in getting together a group of athletes who will carry on a stiff fight In the State ranks. The coaches will get their men down to brass tacks next week and the week after, and expect to have them ready to step ont in full force as soon as favorable weather rolls around. Those boys who are not good enough to make the squad at their respective schools are being given every opportunity to develop by play in the inter-class und inter school leagues. There are also six or more “scrub” teams at each school, and these boys have their regular schedule ot games. The city series will be n feature again this year.

Maynard Felix, a big Denver boy. will make Jake Daubert a good understudy at first base. He’s a great fielder and not a bad hitter. Moran's pitching staff looks good. He expects Hod Eller, Luque, Marquard and Rixey to be his aces at the start while Brenton, Coumbe, Bressler, Napier and Seiffert are not slouches. That Roush, Daubert and Groh will be along later seems certain. Kopf, however, may retire to the business field. Kopf's place as a fielder at least can be taken by Sam Crane, but he is not as good a hitter as Kopf. Moran believes Crane will cover more territory and prove as valuable to the club as Larry. Carl Schmehl, a kid from Port Chester, ; N. Y., also looks promising at short. ! The main difference in the Reds of I this year and the Reds of last year, is I that the club this year has a better spirit and is hustling harder.
