TRIBE ROUNDS INTO CONDITION AS SUN SHINES Indians Will Be Ready for Exhibitions at Galveston Saturday and Sunday. PITCHERS CURVE A FEW MARLIN SPRINGS, Texas, March 15— With exhibition games scheduled at Galveston for next Saturday and Sunday, Manager Hendricks faced the problem of drilling the Indians to a point where the Tribe tray enter the games with all men in shape to carry through the full game route. From the outlook yesterday, Hendricks will be able to trot his team out on the Galveston diamond in vgry good shape. As far as the Infield and outfield are concerned they could step in and go the route tomorrow, but the pitchers-*ce in need of a few days grace remaining before encounters. Harry Weaver and Petty were dishing up a collection of slants In Tuesday's practice, both bending the ball for the first time since they entered active work last week, and the remainder of the staff also is slipping in a curve ball ocGoing Good at 46 SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 15. The terrors of old age for baseball players fail to din the luster of Bernard J. Koehler, formerly of the Sfc. Louis Americans. Despite his 46 years Koehler will answer the appeal of Bay City In the Michigan-Ontario League and again cover first base. Koehler was one of the heaviest hitters in the league last year. caslonally. With a continmance of the hot weather ’enjoyed Tuesday afternoon the twirlers will easily reach the goal. The i day began with the hard wind of Monday clinging on with persistency, but the afternoon found ideal weather conditions. Manager Hendricks spent some time in centerfieid with Harry Purcell, the recruit outfielder obtained from the Central League, the husky gardener has everyone in camp watching his clouting j ability, but he has shown a tendency to J drop fly bails, and the Tribe boss was : trying the eliminate this fault. Purcell ’ sure can lay the bat to the ball, and also | has shown extraordinary speed. Kehg, Morrison and Spencer probably will fill j the outfield in the games when the In- : dians line-up against the Galveston and New York Giants in the games of next week, though Hendricks will hat*- Kinfella and Purcell ready to send in the line-up. Eddie Brown, remains in his room and there is small chance that the j ex-Giant will be in shape for the games. With the leaving of Joe Wade, for his home in Brooklyn there remains eight slab artists battling for a home with the Indians for pitching honors. Rogge will complete the list. Os the pitchers. I Carman Hill is the only one on the hos- j pital list, and he is expected to don a uniform within a few more days. Hill, wrenched his back last Saturday but is responding to treatment and the injury is not considered serious. NOTES OF THE TRIBE. Regular-Y'annigan contests are on the 1 card for today and Thursday afternoon, while lase-ruuning and sliding will find a place on the morning programs. The Indians have a raft of players who hit from the left side of the plate. Including Morrison. Atrean, Covington, Purcell. Spencer, Kinsella. Cavet, Clancy and Heine. Three of the near-side hitters are outfielders, they being Morrison, Spencer and Purcell. Both first basemen, Covington and Attreau. face the pitcher from that side of -the pan. Heine is the only Infielder in the list of batters hitting from the port side, while Jess Petty I runs true to fora for fork-handers by throwing with the left hand and batting from the right side. Bob KlnsePa’s stay with the Giants at San Antonio put him in .41 condition. MeGraw starts the ball rolling at 9:30 to 11 o’clock and from 2 to 4:30. the same schedule which Manager Hendricks has in Togue for the Indians. The players all welcome the quitting j time signal, though the task Is much i easier now than a week ago. Asa whole the Indians srre shaping np well and their boss is satisfied with the way are, turning out. The club should be in high gear by next Saturday for the Gal- j veston contests. Bill Heine, third-base recruit from the Giants, has a beauty of a throwing arm. He shoots the ball from any angle and is a finished fielder. At the plate Heine hats from the left side and meets the lail with a resounding smack.

NEWS OF THE DAY IN

TY LER AND RUDOLPH TRYING TO FIND FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH IN FLORIDA CAMP OF BRAVES

By DAVIS J. WALSH. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 15. When the young man removes his cap, the semi-tropical sun glistens upon his pate, prematurely nude, with the gleam of a highly polished cordovan boot. He is that kind of a young man, old beyond his years. When Ills left-handed friend spreads his mouth into the folds of a smile, you see two rows of teeth too even and altogether too perfect to be natural. They are not the teeth that appeared by painful degrees in his early youth. He had those latter removed several years ago because he feared they were making him old before bis time. When the friend of both the bald young man and his left-handed friend appears on the local ball field, he watches both with a kindly yet speculative eye. He knows them quite well, indeed, and has a reasonably good memory. The season of 1914 arid the Boston Braves' melodramatically rush from last to first place and a world's championship is not too far removed to hamper one's memory excessively. The young man who lost his coiffure and the left-handed friend who lost his teeth are Dick Rudolph aod George Tyler, respectively -They, in collaboration with the defunct. Bill James, pitched the Braves into the greatest notoriety that any ball club ever-attained and they did so under the tactical guidance of Fred Mitchell. The latter is the speculative gent referred to and right now be happens to be manager of the Boston Braves. “I think I know Rudolph and Tyler better than any other baseball man,” he declared yesterday as the extremely plausible Braves swung into stride for their first real workout of the year. “And I am sincere when I say that I don't think either of them is through. I expect to get good pitching from both. The Braves also have in Joe Oeschger, Dana Fillingim, John Watson and Hugh McQuillan four of the best right handed pitchers in baseball, with Franl| Miller, W^IISCHOOI EylallgS ports In the past years it has been a matter of considerable adverse ciynment that the Indianapolis board of school fornmissioners has failed to take the same interest in the athletic welfare of the Indianapolis schools as other boards have done of cities and towns throughout Indiana. But at last that day is past, for at the meeting of the school board last night. Commissioner Bert S. Gadd presented the following resolution which was adopted by a unanimous vote of the board: “In appreciation of tlie splendid showing made by the bieket-baU team of one of our Indianapolis high schools. Manual Training, at the regional tournament at Bloomington last Saturday, when, after a series of most discouraging early season defeats, fiie team ‘crashed tl cough' and fought Its way into the final series for the State championship to be held at the Coliseum, Friday and Saturday, the board of school commissioners extends to Manual Its test wishes for success in its battle for the State title. 1 * Tills circular that Secretary Trester of the Indiana High School Athletic Board 1 of Control is sending out to members of the association concerning the limitation of basket-ball schedules Is certainly the ; best tiring done for some time. The overly long schedules have been a menace ror some time and would have in time relegated basket-ball to a back seat merely for lack of Interest In the game. V Starting on Oct. 1, and counting larch and December together as one month giveOhe high, schools five months in which to piay sixteen games and enter one tourney if they care to, which means that the schools will have to start their schedule late or close It early or spread the sixteen games over the period which will mean sometimes an Interval of two weeks between games. The best solution for this would be to make Nov. 1 the official opening date for the highschool basket season instead of Oct 1. Baseball schedules ought to be putting In an appearance pretty soon. Seme of the high schools haven’t even started making them out yet. Baseball is the great American game but basket-ball ; holds the upper hand in high school j circles in Indiana. All ready for the grand windup of Hoosierdom's greatest and best sporting ! classic basket-ball. Public opinion seems to be largely in favor of Franklin to win the State I tourney but you never can tell. Having I been through a tourney twice with prac- ! tioally the same team counts a lot toward going through again. Tilden and Mrs. Mallory in Mixed Doubles Play BROOKLINE. Mass., March 15.—The tennis champions. Mrs. Molin Bjnrstedt Malory and W. T. Tilden 11, will tean again this season. Assurance of their intention to defend their title as national mixed doubles Indoor champions was con- ’ rained In a letter from Tilden yesterday. tying he was forwarding his entry for : the title tournament to be held at the ' Long-wood Cricket club covered courts next week. Mrs. Mallory had previously enters In defense of her singles championship. The national indoor women’s titles in singles and doubles will be decided at the same time.

BILLIARDS

I the former Pirate, emerging from a year's retirement for another fling at the big ! time. Rube Marquard can get a good ball game out of his left arm about once a week, and if,Tyler really comes back, the same may be expected of him. Hank Gowdy, Mickey O’Neill and Frank i Gibson rank well above the average as I catchers and the outfield is so well upholstered that there Isn't a recruit outfielder in the camp. No management I would be justified in edging away gate receipts on untried youths without fielders such as Southworth, Nicholson, Powell, Cruise nd Nixon participating in the semi-monthly rush against the cashier’s window. The Infield? Quite so. JEvery dream must have Its dark moment. Walter Hilke is a good first baseman. “Lizzie” Ford is one of the rising young men of the game ab-second and Toney Boeckel gets by nickly at the hot corner. The team, boweverA lacks a shortstop. Larry Koepf was obtained by trade from Cincinnati, but Larry seems to have slipped since 1919, his best year. At that, he Is being given the call over Walter Barbee, gent of eccentric tendencies. Christianbury, utility man for a season or so, has a chance of breaking in as a regular, but ail the infield recruits— Lloyd * Smith from Greensboro, Tom Dooley from Norfolk and John McDermott and Frank Putnam, semi-pros, seem to be at least a year or two away. This is hardly true of the young pitchers. There is, for Instance, Eugene Lansing, a right-hander from Charleston, S. C. Eugene won eleven out of twelve games at the fag end of last season. Mitchell also thinks well of Bill Anderson, a left-hander; Cooney and Braxton, two southpaws with the club last year, and Al Pietottl. “Cy” Morgan gets the majority vote, however. Cy pitched himself silly, winning some thirty bail games for Springfield in the Eastern League in 1920, and did little beyond crowd Mr. Mitchell’s bench a bit last season. He is said to be set for a killing this year. White Elected Captain of De Pauw Basket Team GREENCASTLE, Ind.. March 15.—Paul White, a member of the sophomore class, was elected captain of the 1922-1923 De Pauw basketball team at a special meeting of the K(ne “D" men of the 19211922 Tiger court squad held Monday evening in Coach Walker's office.

White hails from Franklin, where he played four years as a forward on that fast high school quintette. Ha won aliState high school basket-ball honors at the end of the 1919-1920 season, when his team emerged with the State championship. White is a member of the Pbi Delta fraternity.

BASEBALL

Babe Ruth, King of Swat, Now Captain of Yankee Outfit NEW YORK, March 15.—Babe Ruth keeps getting more famous all the time. The swat king is now theYcaptain of the Yankee ball club. The club perhaps figured thqt the “bam” deserved the bon ors and privileges that go with the title. It seems also that the club made an error in announcing that Ruth was to get SSOO every time he rapped one over the fence. Instead of getting a nice bonus for doing his act, he Is to work on Straight salary. The name of Commissioner Landis wasn’t mentioned, but It is rather easy to assume that the boss of the game suggested to the Yankee owners that everything wasn’t well with their arrangement. Miller Huggins, manager of the club, didn’t like all the publicity that Babe’s contract was given. Huggins has a pritnn donna club and he would have a hard time telling Bub Meuse! why his homo run wasn't worth SSOO, specially if it won a close game. There is not much douht that Ruth is still working under the contract that gives him SSOO for a homer, but the club has denied it and it will go on the records that way. Diamond Dust From Dixie SECOND SOCK WORRIES CUBS. CATALINA ISLAND, Cal., March 15— The second base problem is the chief worry just now of Manager Rill Kilbffer of the Chicago Cubs. Elliott Kingman and Frieberg, rookies who have been t tried at the position, have failed to show ] big league class.
