BATTLE TODAY ENDS INDIANS’ TRAINING CARD Hoosiers to Groom for A. A. Opener Following Exhibition With Speakerites. PLAYERS EAGER TO ACT It was "Indian day" at Washington Park this afternoon, with Big Chief Hendricks’ Hoosler Indians mixing with Big Chief Speakers’ Cleveland Indians and, despite the fact the Invading tribesmen are official hearers of baseball s championship crown, the local team felt fit to ofer plenty' of opposition in the exhibition affair. Smiling skies of the morning made baseball weather conditions for the <!y appear encouraging end a big attendance was expected to be >n hand when the clubs got together at 8:30 o’clock. Due t the presence of a post-season winter Be 'urday and Sunday the Detroit Tigers and Hoosiers were unable to meet tnd thousands of eager fans were robbed of the opportunity of seeing the famous Ty Cobb, Ownlo Bush and others In action. The three days of Idleness caused much unrest among thS" Uendricksmen because they are unused to taking vacations this spring, the squad having missed only one day of practice during Its long stay In the South. HARD DRILL FOR INDIANS TUESDAY. Asa result of the Inability of the players to work out Friday, Saturday or Sunday Manager Hendricks announced £ast night that a long fielding and halting drill will be held tomorrow as a final tuning up for the American Association opening battle w Ith the Columbus Senators Wednesday. Jack hopes Old Man Winter has made his last charge on this city and he believes that opening day will see splendid weather prevailing. Manager Speaker of the Cleveland team has announced that he has secured a pew man to play second base until either Wambsganss or Lunte is abi* to work again. The recruit is Riggs Stephenson, a college player from the University of Alabama, where Joe Sewell hails from. Stephenson was the guest of the club for a few days during the training season, but returned to his college work, when the champions left Dallas. Wamby will be out for three or four weeks with a broken wrist, and when I-unte sprained his ankle at Chattanooga the other day Speaker at once got In touch with the university authorities and secured permission for Stephenson to leave college for three weeks under promise to return to school on the first of May. He will Join the champions at St. Louis Tuesday, and, will play in the opening game against the Browns. Stephenson is a senior at Alabama and will graduate In June. Then he will join Dfleveland team permanently. ■Uiirs OCT win. eaker has his team In fine barring the injuries to Wamby ami he has high hopes or rehis success • f lost season.

He will be a tought one to overcome, but we will be out there trying every day. I have a fine team of willing workers and the boys liked playing In the world's series so well last fall that they ara anxious to get Inti another one. I don't know whether we can beat the Yankees or Out, but we will certalrly give them quite a battle.” The five regular pitchers of the Cleveland Club will be Coveleskie, Bagb>, Metis, Uhle and Caldwell. These men are all going well and will put up a forrniaable defense day after day. Guy Morton Is also In fine shape this spring amt may prove good enough to take a regular turn on the mound.

TRIBE NEWS AND NOTES. Following Mayor Jewett’* Invitation to the mayor of Columbus to come over anil Fee hie Senators “take a beating at the hands of the Indians Wednesday in the opening day game at Washington Park,” j Governor McCray sent a similar invitation 1 to Governor Davis of Ohio to make the I trip here “for the same purpose.” Mayor Jewett has Issued a proclamation for the opening day baseball battle, in which he calls on all the citizens of ; the city to get out and boost for the home team. In his message the mayor ! points out the great work being done 1 by various civid organizations in helping boost the game ani day, and urges every one that can give the. time to turn ottT for the contest and aid in the rooting. The K. C. Blues are not going to be sny one's doormat this season. Manager Enabe i* bolstering his roster until he now possesses a likely looking ball team Latest additions to the Blue* are Harold Leathers, shortsop, and Bernard Frel. berg, utility man, both formerly of the Chicago Cubs. John McGraw of the Giants cut loosn a number of players Sunday, but Indianapolis was not In on the distribution. Here's hoping John is holding back a good one for the Hoosiers. Jt takes a brave man to be a baseball magnate. After spending plenty of dollars on a spring training trip Owner Smith was forced to see the cold weather of Saturday and Sunday prevent him from getting back some of his losses. If fair weather had prevailed It Is believed that the attendance for the tw* Detroit games would have been about 13.000. Ty Cobb wss a disappointed gent also when the cold blasts ruined tne exhibitions hero. Men fans, women fans and kid fans are getting tuned np for Wednesday and there will be no lack of rooting at that opening battle.

ATLANTIC CITY CHANCES SLIM Newark and Jersey City More 4 Logical Sites for Title Scrap. By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sporta^fcclitor. NEW YORK, April 11.—Newark or Jersey City is expected to get thg call for tho Dempsey-Carpentler fight. Tex Rickard’s announcement that the hie arena will be used for other championship fights during the summer is thought to be tho "sleeper” that puts Atlantic City out of the running. There are other reasons to believe that one of tlje two citleß within a “stone's throw of Times square" will be favored. When Atlantic City first entered the field of candidates more tham-a mouth ago, Rickard told the writer It was not a “logical contender." He pointed to the fact that July 2 is In the middle of the big season at tho popular watering place, when hotel accommodations are always at a premium and when standing room on the trains is first-class passage. Rickard may have changed his mind since then, however. During the “doubtful period” Rickard also said that the scale of prices would demand a site close to the "biggest population." Jersey City Is fifteen minutes from Broadway and Newark la only half an hour away. GEORGES WILL TRAIN ON FARM NEW YORK, April 11.—Georges will train for his fight with | .Tack Dempsey for the world's heavyweight championship In Summit, N. J.. according to Gus Wilson, his trainer. Before returning to France last fall, the j Frenchman made all arrangements to iO| the preliminary work on a farm owned ; by a friend, Wilson said.

NEW YORK HAS GREAT CHANCE TO TAKE FLAG Giants and Yanks Both Present Strong Line-ups—Wc-Graw Has Edge. CLEVELAND LOOKS GOOD By JACK VEIOCK, International News Service Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 11.—“ Where will the big league pennants fly In October?” Uncertain as the task of picking 'em has always been. It was never more difficult than now. Competition promises to be so keen between two American and three National League teams that a penuant selection In either league la a toss-up. One thing seems certain —New York will fly on* of the gonfalons. Gotham may aven succeed In cornering the world's series for the first time in history. Be that as it may, here’s our big league guess for 1921: National League—New York, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia. •American League Cleveland, New York, St. Louis, Washington, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston. The Giants look more like pennant winners today than at any time during the last four years, McOraw has rebuilt his wobbly infield aud put young blood into the line-up that, has succeeded in plugging up the holes througn which the Giants lost the 1920 penaunt. With Kelly, Fritsch, Bancroft and Itapp on the Infield and Burns, Young, Walker and Brown to take care of the outfield posts, the Giants now have balance and defensive strength. McGraw has a strong staff of seasoned pitchers in Xehf, Barnes, Toney, Benton, Douglass, Sallee and several youngsters. His catching staff is second to none in the National League. DODGERS NOT IN CONDITION. The Brooklyn Dodgers, aside from the addition of Dutch Reuther and the loss of Marquard, are the same team that won the flag last season. The same teamyes—but lacking the fine physical condition that gave them an early Jump on the field last spring. Brooklyn is wellbalanced, too, and has the strongest pitching staff In the league. But the Dodgiffs have none of the punch that the reconstructed Giants possess. Nevertheless, they figure to give New York all the competition McOraw s boys will care about,’and should finish no worse than second, unless they go to pieces. Last season the Pittsburgh Pirates finished fourth. Thts year, with Rabit Maranville to make their infield and a finely balanced teem with good pitching and lots of spirit, they should give the Giants and Dodgers a hot argument. They may beat Brooklyn out, at that. Dissatisfaction In the ranks of the Reds has done Pat Moran's team a lot of harm. And even with Roush, Groh and Kopf back In the line-up before so very long, Moran has his work cut out to finish In the first division thts year. S The St. Louts Cardinals, as they stand today, look ready to graduate to first division company slid should b* no worse than fourth, with Cincinnati and Chicago fighting It out for fifth place. Fred Mitchell should, and no doubt will, show a great improvement In the Boston Braves. Bill Donovan has a man's sized task on bis hands at Philadelphia. These two teams seem destined to fight It out for seventh place. The National League team thnt appears to have the best chance of upsetting calculations is Chicago. There is no telling what Johnny Evers may get out of the Cubs. He -ay work wonders with them. It seems a certainty that New York and Cleveland are destined to fight it out to a bitter finish for the American League flag this year.

NEW YORK, April IL—Known gax biers will be barred from the rlngzlde #t future boxing contest* by a rule to be passed this week by the State ■> boxing commission, it is understood. The commission will furnish all promoters with a list of gamblers whose presence "w.‘ll not b desired.” / by a New Tork American League team. He has such terrific sluggers as Ruth, Pipp, Meusel, Roth, Sehang, Peck. Bodie, Ward and perhaps Baker to manufacture runs. He has a powerful array of pitchers in Mays, Shawkey, Collins, Harper, Quinn and others, and a bang-up catcher in Sehang. In fact-the Yanks have verything but speed. Arrayed against tne powerful Yank* are Tris Speaker's flashy Cleveland world champions. They will enter the race with the spirit of victors and the .confidence that comes with victory. They will have Speaker, one of the greatest players, out there on the field, fighting and playing with them. Speaker's ability to handle men and his brilliant playing —these are the things that tilt thabalanee slightly In favor of the Indian* this ypar as the writer sees. TIIO St. Louts Browns will be tough for all comers. They have a real punch, but they haven't the pitching to combat successfully with Cleveland and New York. The Fohlmen should finish a strong third, however. Washington and Detroit seem destined to fight it out for the other first division berth, unless Kid Gleason can prove himself a miracle man with the White Sox. Connie Mack has been working slowly but surely in rebuilding the Athletics. He now has a young combination with a lot of natural ability and without a doubt his team will make a valiant fight to get out of the rut. With Hugh Duffy and Jimmy Burke running the Red Sox, Boston will be no soft opponent for Philadelphia to outrun. This pair, however, probably will have to fight It out for seventh place.—(Copyright, 1921, by Inter, national News Service.) COLLEGIATE RIFLE TEAM.
