Indians Home, Ready to Burn Wide Pennant Trail Chief Jack Brings Back Classiest Squad of His Indianapolis Career—Everything Rosy for Big Exhibition Games, Then the A. A. Struggle—Covington Will Be Ready for Opening Game. LOYAL FANS TENDER PLAYERS GREAT RECEPTION

By EDDIE ASH. Dally Time* Sports Editor. Tanned by southern sunshine and In the best shape of any team Jack Hendricks ever brought out of Dixieland, the Indians of 1921 landed back home today, re*dy to meet three big league clubs and the Bntler College nine In exhibition games as a final tuning up for the start of the American Association •eason here April 13. Leaving Indianapolis March 2. the Hoosiers pitched camp at Crowley, 1,a., three days later, and, after a month’s hard work-out in that city and other Dixie points. It can be said that nearly every member of the squad Is In shape to go at his best pace. Covington Is the only player badly crippled, and his injury will be healed In about ten days. The Hooslers made a fine Impression during their long stay In the £nuth and their record speaks for Itself. They won two games and tied two with the Philadelphia Athletics, lost two close ones to the St. Louis Cardinals, defeated two col lege nines, lost a hard-fought contest to Babe Ruth and company, broke even with the Brooklyn National League champions in a two-game series and closed their Dixie training schedule with a victory over a strong semi-pro outfit. That the defense of the Tribe Is going to be alr-tlght was demonstrated by their extra Inning battles engaged in and In which the Indians did not lose a decision. In two of the extra round affairs the Hooslers finished with the score knotted, and in the third they defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers In eleven innings. Manager Hendricks believes be has the best infield roster of any minor league team and big league managers who saw the Indians in the South agred with this opinion. Covington, Slckluc,. Echreiber and Baird make up the iruer works, with Lutzko and Attreau is utility men, and of this number It If believed that both Covington and Baird will hit in the .300 class ponslstently. Lutzke has been pushing Baird hard for third base but he hardly will beat the veteran out, Baird Is a noted base runner and steady batsman. In the outfield Hendricks expects to see both Rehg and Kinsella slug the ball in the .300 class. Shlnners has been Improving gradually and no doubt will push his way forward as the season advances. Morrison and Von Dyk. rookies, have been making strong bids for Jobs and It is likely that Morrison will make the grade and be retained for developing_purposes.

The chances of getting Walter Henline back are good, and If this occurs the catching department will be set. As for the pitching staff, one or two additions must be made, and assurance has been given by John McGraw that he will deliver a twirler to the Indians as soon as he can cut loose with safety.

Tiger Diamond Men Prepare for First Game on Home Lot Rose Poly Contest Expected to Retrieve Saturday's Defeat. OREENCASTLB, Ind., April s.—De Pnuw baseball men are working hard In preparation for their first home game, despite the loss of their only veteran twirler, Joe Glasscock, who was declared Ineligible on the eve of the first contest, played with Purdue at Lafayette Saturday. Rose Poly is scheduled to meet the Old Gold nine here Saturday. The game scheduled with Franklin to be played there April 7, has been cancelled, as well as the return tilt scheduled for June 4, because there were more games on the Old Gold card than the rules of the university would allow. Coaches Buchheit and Joseph were convinced by Saturday’s game that the members of the De Pauw diamond squud have real ability and are striving this week to develop It. Although Saturday was the first time Mark Bills ever appeared in the pitcher's box in a real game, there is little doubt in the minds of the coaches but that he will develop into a speedy curve tosser. Fischer is the other candidate for the box. He has shown great ability In practice, but lias not bad a chance to try his arm In u regular Contest. Other positions on the nine practically have been awarded, at least for the time being. Slutz is on the receiving end. Captain Elwyn is looking good at first, along with bortner at second, "Red” Jordan at short and Darnell at third. "Red” Adams, candidate for the second sack, is Miffiring from an injured knee. In the field someone probably will be selected to take Fischer's position in the right garden nlot as he will be the only utility pitcher. The other two gardens are tended by Davis and Krumiieuer. At present Coach Buchheit Is looking for a dua! track meet for April 23. if a meet cannot be scheduled for that date the Tiger relay team probably will attend tbe Drake relays at Des Moines. Tiger tennis fans began playing elimination contests today to select the four men who will represent De Pauw at tiie net turney to be played at Illinois University, April 30.

The side chancery, or head lock hold, was barred aud at times the champion seemed to be at a loss without the use of it. It was announced that Lewis will meet Stanislaus Zbyszko of Poland in a finish match near the end of this month, the net proceeds of the contest going to the suffering poor of Ireland. Pesek was the aggrensor for the better part of the bout. but the superior strength of Lewis, who weighed 232 pounds to the challenger's 195, finally made itself felt. CLINE .Si UPENDED. NEW YORK.

FREAK AND FIND FOR CARDS

By SID KEENER. Sport* Editor St. Louis Times. ST. LOUIS, April s.—One genuine find and one baseball freak have been brought In by the St. Louis Cardinals this season. The find is Arthur Riviere, a 21-year-old right-hand pitcher from the Texas bushes and the freak Is George Toporcer, New York senn-proresslonul, who play ß second base and wears glasses. Both have cinched Jobs on the team. Pennant prospects for the Cards swing around the improvement in pitching and the chance of finding these regulars out of the new material. Besides, Roy Walker from the Southern League and BUI Pertica from the South Pacific Coast League are fine pitching prospects. , Walker, a lean right-hander with a "smoke ball,” bas made the grade, but Pertica has not entirely passed the test. Jessie Haines is expected to do the best work of last year's regulars. Manager Rickey, knowing that he was overworked last season, expects him to be one of the best hurlers In the big league this season. i The Infield also became complicated with the refusal of Milton Stock to report. Hornsby was transferred to third base and bus been doing well aud Toporcer is getting a chance at second base, with Janvrin ready to stop in If he fails. Fournier is back on first base and I.avan is still at shortstop. Eight catchers started the spring season, but only three Defense Counsel to Turn Up More Names in Diamond Scandal CHICAGO, April 5.—A promise to expose others w ho have not yet been named and charges that gamblers reaped a bar- ' vest of between $200,000 and $390,000 in the baseball scandal of 1919 were made Monday before Chief Justice, Charles A. McDonald In Criminal Court by Attorneys Benedict Short and Michael Ahearn. representing the seven Indicted White Sox ball players, when the attorneys appeared to ask for a reduction in bunds fur their clients. “There are others who were Implicated and who have not yet been indicted,' Attorney Short told Judge McDonald. "We are not making announcements now, but we will show if at the trial." The new indictments against the players called for bonds for each In the amount of $24,000. Judge McDonald reduced them to $7,500 each. Purdue Nine After Wabash Scalp in Revenge for Two Trouncings in Net Game LAFAYETTE. Hid.. April 5. Purdue w.is to play her second basebn’l game of 1 the season this afternoon with Wabash ! College.

Two former Technical High School stars were expected to oppose each other ;on the mound. Wagner was to do the hurling for Purdue, while Sherman was to perform for Wabash. Coach Lambert expected to use the same line up against ! Wabash that be used in the De Pauw . game. Miser will be behind the bat. Sfriek t.n first base, Strubbe at second end Murphy on third. W. Fawcett was to hold down ! the shortstop position. In the field, Gum. White and H. H.
