The Tiger macnina will tangle with the Iloosiers both Saturday and Sunday, and then will follow the Cleveland world's champions, headed by the one and only Tris Speaker for a game here Monday. The wash-day exhibition will be the curtains for the Indians' preliminary work, for Tuesday will be given over to batting and fielding drills as a final tuning for the big opening with the Columbus Senators Wednesday. Ty Cobb, the “Georgia peach.” will not be the only attraction for local fandom In the Detroit-Indian battles tomorrow and Sunday, for this city's great ftvorite, Ownie Bush, pride of rbe east side, will fce seen cavorting nt shortstop for the visitors.

The fading week finds all 1921 pennant candidates winding up exhibition schedules and putting on finishing touches preparatory to opening the season next Wednesday. Greater New York’s trio will start with some handicaps to overcome. The Giants will miss Ross Young, who is out with a badly injured knee. They also may be minus the services of Dave Bancroft, whose recent operation for the removal of tonsils left him weak and out of condition. McGraw's one bright hope of a good getaway lies in his pitchers who are in fine fettle. Tile Brooklyn Dodgers, with Grimes still a holdout, are not In the best of condition. Unusually cold weather at New Orleans held them back. Shreveport weather did but little better for the Yankees, although their pitchers are in better condition than Brooklyn’s. Lady Luck has temporarily deserted Cleveland. Tris Speaker is laid up with a bad spike wound. I.es Nunamaker Is nursing an injured ankle. Bill Wambsganss has a slight fracture of a bone in one arm and Joe Wood has a stove-up shoulder. Pittsburgh’s threatening Pirates are among the best conditioned teams in the big leagues. The St. Louis entrants are likewise In the “pick,’’ especially tne Browns. Manager Lee Fobl says he never had a better spring training. Fine weather prevailed at Orange, Texas, and If MUton Stock would come to terms. Branch Rickey could dispense broad smiles. Boston's teams are reported in good phvsical condition, though neither club figures as a first division prospect on paper. John Evers’ rejuvenated Cubs are In shape and on their toes. With Harry Hooper added to the outfield and Kerr. Faber, Wilkinson and McWeeuev, a newcomer, ready to step ■into the riflo pit. Kid Gleason is waiting for the bell. The Cincinnati Reds are full of ginger, in good condition and very much on their toes. The Tigers and Senators will face the starter with all regulars ready.

Huggins Must Hold High Grade Line-up on Bench This Year Has Two Starlighters Aiming at Practically Every Position on Yank Club. NEW YORK April B.—ls ever a ball club was like tne old woman in the shoe, it is the New York Yankees. Miller Huggins has so many players he doesn’t know what to do. The American League representatives of the Metropolis will start the season with two high-class teams—one on the field and the other on the bench. While other clubs are in desperate straits for one good player in every position, the Yanks have a pair. For first base Huggins has Pipp, Ruth or ileusel. For second base, Fewster, Ward or McNally. For shortstop, Wardy Peckinpaugh or Mitchell. For third base, Ward or Baker. In the .outfield Ruth, Roth, Meusel or Bodie. In addition there are a lot of highclass rookies. No matter what comes, Huggins probably will have a couple of .300 hitters doing bench duty ail season who might put some other clubs in tbe pennant race. But Huggins has tho market cornered on "reserves, first-class,” and it's a cinch he's not going to get liberal with his fellow managers when their pennant stock might increase by a donation. The Yanks have the greatest reserve power in the major leagues.

BRAVES CAN NOT BE DOPED OF LOWER HALF Maranville Deal Brings Clever Outfield, but Tears Down Inner Wall. FANS ENTERTAIN HOPES BOSTON, April B.—Prospects of th* Boston Braves in the 1921 pennant drive are far from bright enough to revive hopes of another 1914, but the Hub fan* are unwilling to accept the fiat assign, ment of last or next to last being mad* “ty the experts. v Without a first-class southpaw and a weak infield, the Braves, however, saM hardly aspire to a position better fifth. ™ A first division club would be a pleasure for the fans of a city who are getting fed up on inferior ball. When Maranville was traded to Pitts, hurg for Southwurth, Nicholson and Barbare the Braves came into possession of Just about the best outfield fn the leagut, nut tho infield was weakened almost to the same extent. There are nine good outfielders witb the club —Southworth, Nicholson, Mann, Powell, Sullivan, Cruise, McDonald, Nixon and Archdeacon, a promising recruit. No matter what combination is selected the club will have a hard-hitting, good fielding outlay in the gardens. Horace Ford, utility man last year, probably will play second and Barbara will take Maranville's place at short. Holke at first and Boekei at third ar last year's regulars. Even if Barbare lives up mechanically to Maranville’s measurements, which may overrate him, the infieli will suffer from the loss of fire and pep that Maranville spread around him. With Hank Gowdy. O’Neil and Gibson behind the plate, the catching department will not cause worry. They are not the best catchers in the league, but they will do. O’Neill, with more work, promises to develop into one of the best re ceivers in the league. Os more than a dozen pitchers on tho roll, Oeschger is the best. His chief coworkers will be Dan Fillingim, Scott and McQuillan, a youngster of promise who made good last year. Dick Rudolph is still with the club. The crying pitching need is a first-class left-hander. Perhaps one will be found from Cooney, Townsend or Braxton. New Back Stroke Mark CHICAGO, April B—Sybil Bauer, stay swimmer of the Illinois A. C., established anew world’s record Tor the 109ynrds back stroke last night, going tha distance in 1:10 2-5. The Illinois A. C. won tbs national A. A.
