CLINT ROGGE AND KRUEGER LAST ARRIVALS Batterymen Show Up in Indian Camp—Sieb Looks Good . in Box. YANNIGANS BEAT ‘REGS’ MARLIN SPRINGS. Texas. March 18— Two new players were aded to the Indianapolis American Association train- J lag camp roster at Marlin Springs yes- 1 terday with the arrival of Clint Rogge, veteran of the Indians pitching staff and Ernie Krueger, the big league receiver obtained from Owner Ebbetts of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Both were out to uniform Wednesday and participated jB the regular-Yannigan game in the Pternoon, Krueger aiding the rookies m obtaining the third straight decision Trer the regulars by smiting the ball clear out of sight in the eighth inning and driving in Attreau ahead of him. The ex-Brooklyn catcher reported in nearaeason shape following several weeks of preliminary work in Florida. The Yannlgans proved too strong In the pitchers' box and chalked up the win due the excellent mound work on the part of Clyde Sieb. the recruit semi-pro star from the Decatur Staleys, and the equally as brilliant work on the part or Lee Bartlett, youthful star of last year's aggregation. Five hits was all that the regulars could gather from the combined deliveries of Sieb and Bartlett, svbile the peppery Yannlgans were garnering five off Harry Weaver and five oft Petty. Home runs in addition to Krueger's drive were obtained by Williamson, recruit catcher, and Tex Covington, Leo Dixon led the regulars with a double and triple. The weather at Marlin 1 all that one could wish and the tribe should find Itself ready for the goes with Galveston ad the Giants beginning next Saturday when Hendricks’ club faces the Galveston crew for its first tilt with a foreign foe. The pitchers are now arriving at the stage which the remainder of the club reached several days back, and the outfit will face the exhibition games with most of its strength.

NOTES OF THE TRIBE. Though Ernie Krueger Is a Chicago hoy, he has made Florida his home for several years, and reported to manager Hendricks about as far advanced in conditioning work as the remainder of the Indian squad which has been in Marlin for ten days. Ernie will alternate with Leo Dixon in the exhibition games against Galveston and the New Y'ork Giants. The pair should give the Indians plenty of strength behind th# - plate. Hendricks also has Dud Williamson, the Muncte lad, for catching work. Williamson bears much promise and though he ts minus experience he has caused favorable comment. Williamson owns a dandy throwing arm and appears formidable back of the batters. Rogge Is a Trojan of a worker In the spring training work. Clint picks up weight very easy and Is compelled to move around ana work hard to stay at the high-speed figure. Harry Weaver has his fade-away ball working beautifully these days In the camp here at Marlin. It la a very deceptive offering and one which causes a lot of worry for ambitious olouters. Weaver should go big for the Tribe this year and if Harry has anything to say about it he is In for a g od year. Kendricks is laying stress upon the hitters learning to bat to all corners of the field. The club has a hope of hopping away to a flying start and hitting will be a prime factor In accomplishing this desire. With that In mind the Indians have engaged in nearly three hours’ of hitting work each day they have been at Rimes park. Every player in camp is meeting the ball with a resounding smack.

AUGUSTA Ga., March 16.—Judge Landis completely ruined the practice session of the Detroit American ball club when he stepped out on the field Wednesday morning. The training session was in full blast; obb was conducting Infild batting practice; some six or eight pnchers were warming up on the side lines, the day was perfect and everybody was going full tilt. And then came the judge. He got out of the automobile and walked with a light and eager step right out toward third base and the line with the tire of the half dozen kid pitchers. Some one called for Cobb. The Judge shook hands with three players before the manager reached him. And then the practice was on the Fritz. The Georgia Peach and the Chicago Potentate pumphandled awhile and greeted each other In that fashion that only good friends and mutual admirers know. The Judge took off his black slouch hat and the sunlight glinted on his silver hair and the wind rumpled and a thing to see. The Judge was as happy as a boy and as enthusiastic and sincere as coujd be. and the town paid him as high tribute as any town could pay to a distinguished visitor Talk about your hospitality. mere is no brand within the confines of civilization that has anything of the Georgia brand. They took the Judge and the ball players twelve miles out in the country for dinner, where Monk Johnson and bis wife Aunt Anna, artists extraordinary in tne matter of Georgia barbecues, had cooked the pig and the chicken in the samp pit and blended them by a process known only to certain of the select of Georgia.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

By HEZE CLARK. Thd eyes of the followers of basketball in all parts of the State are turned In the direction of the Coliseum at the Indiana State fairground, where on Friday and Saturday the finals o’ the State high school basket-ball tourney will be played. No event holds more Interest for the followers of athletics In the Hoosler State than the annual State bas-ket-ball championships fought out by the prep school teams. This year the tourney had the largest number of entries of any athletic tourney in the history of the game in the United States. There were 564 teams entered, and the sectional tourneys reduced this number to thirty-two teams, and a v.oek ago this number was reduced to sixteen teams by the regional tourneys. There are sixteen teams ready to fight for first honors at the Coliseum. The first game starts at 9 a. m. Friday, and the last game starts at 8 p. m. Saturday. In both sectional and regional tourneys some “dark horse” teams made their ap-

In the upper bracket of the tourney are some of tho hardest teams. Bedford. Vincennes and Bloomington, are expected by their followers to win the championship. Bedford meets Atwood in Its first fame. Bedford is strong and has defeated ’ranklin this year and played Vincennes a close game.

WRESTLING

THE WORLD OF SPORT

VEODBK CARD

Atwood is well coached and uses a strong five-man defense. Few games of the opening day will hold the interest that centers in the Vln-cennes-Cutler game. First Vincennes undefeated during the entire season a team that has made a record total score for tho year against just a few by its opponents, is selected by many critics ns the team that will halt Franklin and win the State tourney. Second Cutler Is the teal “dark horse" team of the tourney. The score Cutler 45, Rochester 11, In the regionals indicates that Vincennes has a real problem to solve. Last year there was no Indianapolis team in the final tournament, but this time It Is a different story and the fact that Manual Training High School qualified for the finals increases the Interest of the Indianapolis basket-ball fans In the championship fight. Manual's 34 to 13 defeat of Plttsboro showed strength that most of the followers of the net game did not believe any Indianapolis team had. It m'ust be admitted that Manual might surprise Bloomington when they meet at 1 p. m. Friday. Garfield High School of Terre Haute Is another team, the strength of which Is unknown. Whiting is generally picked as a winner over Garfield. The reason is that Whiting in tho sectionals defeated Emerson High School of Gary, and the Emerson team won from Franklin earlier this year. However, at that time two of Franklin’s best idayers were out. Goshen and Fishers are both teams that proved to be "dark horses" in their sectionals. Goshen had a bard time winning from Angola, 10 to 10, In the regionals while Fishers won its regional on a forfeit. Fishers won its sectional in a tourney where there were some 6trong teams. The Rushvlllo and Marlon game Is sure to be one real battle of skill and speed. These teams have met before and honors are even between them. Both are exceptionally strong. Frankfort while It has reached the finals has a hard climb of it. In the sectional tourney some of Frankforts’ games were won by close scores, and in the regional Frankfort won from Jefferson High School of Lafayette, 16 to 14. This score does not indicate exceptional strength on tho part of Frankfort, although Jefferson may have been stronger than was generally supposed. Frankfort meets Anderson in its first game and Anderson was the runner up In the State championship last year, losing only to Franklin. Many pick Anderson to reach the finals this years. Anderson's season record has not been so good but Anderson is stronger now than at any time during the year. To select winners beyond the first round of games would be almost impossible. There are so many good teams, and several "dark horse" quintettes, and the unexpected Is almost sure to happen in one of the first eight games of the tourney. The basket-ball fans aro looking for surprises and they are almost sure to get them In the opening day of the State High School Basket-ball Championships.

Harry Gill will send a well balanced team into the carnival and unless numerous "dark horses” from other colleges coma to light, the Orange and Blue track and field men should romp home with honors without. turning a hair. The downgtaters are about the best coached team In the Conference, Michigan and Wisconsin being the only other Big Ten squads which can lay claim to equality in this respect. Wisconsin, Michigan and Minneapolis probably will furnish most opposition to the Orange and Blue. None of the three, however, is sufficiently well balanced to be really a formidable competitor. In an open meet it Is possible Illinois’ seconds, thirds and fourths might be cut Into enough to let one of the others make the Orange and Blue men hustle, but with only the Conference teams in Illinois hus enough place men, as well as virtually sure winners, to insure its victory.
