TRIBE SPIRITS SOAR AS THEY HIT FOR HOME Tex Covington’s Injured Foot Is Only Joy Chaser for Manager Hendricks. REDS HERE WEDNESDAY By EDDIE ASTI. Daily Time* Sports Editor. MOBILE, Ala.. April 4 —With the exception of a feeling utf regret over the Injury to Tex Covington, suffered by the big first baseman at Baton Rouge Sunday, it was a merry party of Hoosier ball tossers aboard the L. & X. northbound rattler today and Manager Hendricks said he had never carried a happier squad home from Dixieland than this spring’s appregation of Tribe athletics. The Hoosier party left New Orleans early this morning In a special car and when the train pulled out of the Crescent City, the players cut loose with a typical Indian battle cry. The South has plenty of melting sunshine. singing birds and fragrant flowers, but Northern ball players tire of Dixie after a month's session and they always are glad when the day arrives that means the return to their native stamping grounds. Covington was injured Sunday when a Baton Ronge semi-pro wearing new shoes spiked his right foot severely and the cut is so deep that it ‘s hardly likely that the noted slugger will be back in the game before ten days. It is a hard blow to the tribe machine at this stage because Covington has been whalinsr the ball at a terrific pace aud also fielding iu mid-season form. He was being counted upon heavily for the exhibition games with the big leaguers at Washington I’ark aud also for the A. A. opening day battle with Columbus, April 13. but as the situation stands how Manager Hendricks will be forced to use Dick Attrean. the promising rookie. This young fellow has been developing rapidly. However, and due to that fact the team will not be placed at a fatai al.-advantage at first base. GO BIG AT BATON KOIGE. The Indians made a fine impression In Baton Rouge and so well liked were they that the Chamber of Commerce of that city and the directors of athletics at Louisiana State University urged the Hoosier* to consider Baton Rouge rr next spring’s training > grounds. Ihe college has an excellent playing field and it could be used for practice on week davs and on Sundays the players could work out at the city’s semi-pro pars Manager Hendricks saw many advantages there and that city surely will come In for deep consideration when the Tribe's next spring's plans are being drawn. ... . . .. The “Hoosier Special reached Mobile late this moruing and a stop or twenty minutes was made. Herman Broukie. former Hoosier third baseman and now manager of the Mobile Southern Association team, was at the #et Owner Smith, Manager Hendricks Ind every body iu general Herman ha* changed little since he performed at the hot corner for Indianapolis and said he expected to lead the Southern Association at his position the coming season Manager Bronkie is in the market for players and he may get one of the Tribe rookies later on. The Indians wound op their stay in the South by annexing a pair of game* at Baton Itouge Saturday and Sunday. First they took on the Louisiana l ul verity nine and handed the college boys a 10 to 0 defeat by staging a bat fest. Eltlirg was given a chance to work his arm and he gave satisfactory service the _five innings he was on the mound ’** t . -risen was used in the outfield Louisiana •'l"’ outfit and hs made himself prominent by puling out a triple aud boin-r and a*o performing brilliantly in the held. Tex Coving on got himself three more spring training hits also. The college boys threatened to hold the Indians at the start, but their strength soon was broken down by the Tribe bats and it was tasy sailing for tbe Hoosier* thereafter. CAVET SHOWS HIS STIFF. On Sunday the Indians tangled with the Standard Oils, the leading semi-pro team of Baton Rouge, and won easily, 10 to 1. Cavet hurled this game throughout and be had the semi-pro batsmen mystified with his southpaw flipper. Morrison repeated his feature work of Saturday by grabbing everything within reach in she field and by getting four safe swats Baton Rouge fans turned out big for the Sunday game and that they appreciated the Hoosier*' play was Indicated by the frequent applause given plays. Hendricks piloted his nthletes back to New Orleans Sunday night and the boys spent a busy evening arranging their togs and baggage for today's start North. The time card calls for tha Hoosier* to arrive in their home city about 11:25 Tuesday morning, and their chief desire today was that the weather In Indianapolis Would be fair and wnrrn In order that they* can continue the strenuous practice sessions. On Wednesday the 1921 Indians will appear for the first time before the home fans when they face the Cincinnati Reda at Washington Park. Pitcher Paul Jones, Inflolder Baird and Outfielder Kinzella will have rejoined the squad by then. These three players were g.vcn short vacations after the Indians' first game with Brooklyn, with the understanding that they would ba back at Indianapolis April 5.

Mack Has Hopes, but Isn’t Talking

By JAMES ISMINGER. PHILADELPHIA, April 4.—ln prying into the spring status of a team that has finished in last place for six straight seasons, conservatism may ba an excusable attribute. The Philadelphia Athletics worked diligently in their training camp, but tney did not boast. Connie Mack, still quit# a baseball genius despite adversity In recent years, prefers to accomplish some concrete results before talking. Os a squad of twenty-eight men In spring training, only five had not been with the club before. This does not infer, however, that Mack is standing pat on a team of tail-enders. He recalled Infielders Frank Bralzll and Emmett McCann, whom he expects to be valuable assets. It will be hard to keep Brazill off the regular team this year. He can play second or third, but he has been practicing at first base and has impressed all with his fielding and batting McCann is not yet 21. but he hits and fields so well that he promises to succeed Chic Galloway, last year's failure at short. It would not be surprising to ae* the season opened with an infield of Brazlll. Dykes. 'McCann and Dugan. Every man Is' a hard hitter.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 4, 1921.

The outfield will consist of Tilly Walker In left, Frank Walker in center, and Welch, Myatt, Edens and Johnson fighting for right field. Edens, a 192pound Texan, has made a great impression with his slugging. He Is not a finished product, but will bear watching. Mack is captivated with his pitching staff. Perry, Naylor Harris, Rommel, Hasty, Bigbee, Ray and Barrett. Slappy and N'eimach must fight It out for the other place. Mack told Harris, Rommel, Hasty and Moore that under no circumstances would he ever part with them, and that he intends to keep them until thuy start winning. With Perkins, Stiles and Bill Walker there are no catching problems. A big point iu Mack's favor Is morale. He didn’t have a liold-out on his club this winter. Virtually every ona was signed before the close of last season. Everybody is drawing good money and Is happy. The fall down of Welch, Griffin and Galloway last season was the principal reason why the Athle.tlcs couldn’t get out of the cellar, but there are worthy candidates to fill their shoes this year.

Sexsmith Offer Is in Time to Thicken Tex's Big Site Plot Despite Huge Figures, However, Wise Boys Say Battle Will Go to Jersey. NEW YORK, April 4.—Tex Rickard’s | dilemma over where to stago the liemp-sey-Carpeutler battle was made more complicated today. j .T. 1,. Sexsmith, a wealthy Spokane ' (Wash.) lumberman. Is responsible. Scxslmth, according to a report going ths rounds, has offered Rickard $50,000 above the best offer received for the match. If i he lands It, he will stage It at or near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. With no les than a dozen tempting offers from syndicates on two continents, Rickard will make a final decision during the present week. He has promised to name the site next Saturday. New Jersey still stands out a favorite In the betting to land the match. According to Rickard, however. several cities far removed from the metropolitan district are still very much in the running. Those olio claim to be In on tbe “know" say that the site has already been selected and tint Rickard ts merely wait lng until the time limit for naming it has expired. This opinion, however. Is by no means universal. A well-posted fistic follower, who refused to be Identified, said today that he expects to travel all the way to Montreal to witness the ldg fight and Is willing to wager a round trio railroad ticket thru the Canadian city will get the contest. And so It goes Metropolitan boxing fans are pulling for New Jersey for several reasons.

YANK GOLFERS FACE STRUGGLE Failure of Stars to Make Britain Trip Weakens Victory Hopes. NEW YORK, April 4.—British boxers may be an awful bunch as a class, British tennis players may be a peg below the American court experts, British runners and rowers may be yards behind .Uncle Sam’s men, but with it all, John i Bull can do one little thing a little betj ter. He can play golf. | Uncle Sam, after a year of remarkable i success in international competition has two great ambitions for the summer—- | to bring back the international polo cup and to win the British golf championj ship. I The American polo team has an exeel- ! lent chance to bring back the lone i trophy that is being detained In England, but the golf prospects, while the I best in years are not overassuring. Last winter such elaborate plans were 'outlined to go after the British amateur \nd open titles that the British were alarmed about the impending fall from a throne that they have always occupied/ Many of the American plans have gone astray since, however, due to the Inability of star players to make the trip over this summer. The decision of Chick Evans last week to change his plans and make the trip over with the American team made prospers considerably brighter, but along with it Francis Ouimet said finally thak he would be unable to accompany the team. Robert A. Gardner, who gave the British the gr‘at scare last summer, also is asking to he excused on account of pressing business requirements on this side, and It seems that Dave Herron will find the same obstacles In his way. Bobby Jones at first said his parents objected to his participating in the championships. tint chances are good that ho will be with the Invaders when they set sail William Fownes, captain of the team, also may not be aide to play, as he may have to undergo an operation for the removal of a growth on his shoulder. He plans to make tho trip anyway. Miss Alexa Stirling, American champion, who is now in England training for the championships, has a good chance to win even if she does think the prospects only fair She went over early with the idea of learning the wind conditions, a factor which has done perhaps more than any other thing to throw Americans off form In tha championships.
