YVinn, chairman of ‘he boxing commision and Lieutenant Andersoc of the police de pan meat halted the match or series of matches scheduled to be helcLat a dance hail in Riverside l ark. At T :i*o p. in. there were about 300 boxing fans gathered around the ring at the dance hall. The "soft pedal” boxing 6how had been well advertised, for the iread kept coming after that time. l The b vi ig c u uission nd the police I hive for som- time had information that boxing matches on Oliver Rrh iVyA. ' , in a building at Riverside Th“ -a.-r>- stirred Up Ikjr commit' .on, L. G. Winn and P ben |Hr PFTid talked to Captain of Police Walter V, hire. ■We do no* wish to stop boxing. ’ declared Winn, "But we wish to keep in touch with it. Ail boxing exhibitions must be sanctioned by the commiFaion. The reason for ’his is that we wish to see that the boxing exhibitions are properly conducted. We wish to be sure that the boxers are equally matched in weight and if possible equally matched in experience. We insist that every contestant, either professional or amateur, be examined by a physician and that he be physically fit to take part in a boxing match. We wish a representative of the police department to be present at ail matches to see that they are properly conducted.” Both Winn and Tyndail made it plain that just tiecatise the boxing commission 1 and limited the so-called “big shows," such as are staged at Tomlinson Hall to two ench month, that it was no sign that other boxing shows could not gain the approval of the commission. That D. hexing shews held in halls of limited •eating capacity will meet with the approval of the boxing commission provided the promoters of such shows ask fer the sanction of the commission and agree te the requirements of physical examination of the contestants, the not overmatching of the boxers and the : essence of a police officer to see that the exhibitions are properly conducted. Lieutenant Ander ßOn did not file a report at police headquarters of his stopping *e boxing show last night. However, tairman Winn stared that he was at e dance hail, and that he did not learn who the contestants were to be. but that h> explained the situation to some men wh-> seemed to be in charge. Winn said the promoters of the show act-<1 in an agreeable manner about the stopping of the boxing matches and expreai.’d a willingness to ask the boxing commission for a sanction for future shows, \yinn declared the men who were to have taken part In the show at the Riverside dance hail last night were professionals.

HILL ON MOUND FIRST AGAINST M’GRAW COLTS Indian Pitchers Show Early Season Lack of Control in Exhibitions. HANK HAS SORE ARM TRIBE SCIIKDILE CHANGED. MARLIN SPRINGS, Texas. March 25. Manager Hendricks of the Indians today, aunouced a change in the Indians’ remaining program in tile Southland. The Tribe squad will leave here next Wednesday, March 29, play at Sapulpa, Okla., Thursday, March 20, at Tulsa Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 31, April 1 and 2 and then depart for Indianapolis at 2:30 o'clock the afternoon of Monday April 3. The Indians will ride the Big Four into Indianapolis. MARLIN SPRINGS, Texas. March 25 The tired and battered Indianapolis American Association Club arrived In Marlin yesterday for a week of training at the camp here following a six-day trip t<> Galvemoii and Sau Antonio on an exhibition game tour in which the club won two games from the Gaivdston team, but was badly beaten at the hands of the Giants in both games. The Indians took part in a short practice session Friday afternoon to relieve the stiffness of the 200-mile journey from San Antonio and to prepare for a continuance of the exhibition Schedule which calls for a game with the New Y ork Giants' second team here Sunday. A game was scheduled with the Giant secii today, but rain prevented the contest. The Giant Colts are in the hands of Dick Kinseiia, scout and lieutenant of Manager .’lcGraw. The team has as the leading attractions, Causey, Ryan and Pat Shea, ail pitchers regarded as almost certain regulars. MoGraw sent his trio of young ‘wirier* out with the Colts for the purpose of putting them in prime condition for tho NaU aal League opening, and they have shv wo to advantage with teams in the Text. League. The Tribe is out for revenge for the beatings administered by the regular* and Manager Hendricks his selected Cayman Hill, his right hander, to shoot the opening boU at the invading nig leaguers Snnday. Lee Bartlett also is scheduled for several innings of Sunday's game. Asa matter of fact all the Tribe* hurlers have shown flashes of form but uoed ranch raor.- work to place them In the best of condition. V lack of control is the biggest fault a' this time, sore arms having ceased to bt the trouble maker.

NOTES OF THE TRIBE. The Indianapolis team has performed brilliantly In all the games played to dare. Hank Kchreiber alone being under the care of Trainer Lotsbuw. He is suffering from a cold in his throwing arm. The hot baths of Marlin and Hie Texas sun are expected to bring him around before many days. Manager Hendricks believes that Ciyde Seib is worth giving a thorough trial and declared today that Sleb looked very good in his work so far. Tit" young semi-pro. emerged from the Galveston games with much credit and likewise while facing the New Y’ork Giants wade a favorable Impression. Seib has all the movements and actions of a veteran and his fast bail is a speedster f>r snre. Against the Giants who presented their strongest line-up and a teittn of sluggers, Seib worked In three innings and was touched for three runs. It was a v,.-ry creditable performance for a young'-ter playing for the first time in league ball and M.eager Hendricks was pleased with his work. It he continue* to show the same stuff. Seib Is going to make some of the regulars hustle to stay with the Tribe. Eddie Brown Ir still under *he weather, and has been in uniform but one day since taken. 111. more than a week ago. The big six footer, who is eounted on to play one of the outfield positions, has made but little progress in overcoming the effe-Js of the flu. and be may not be in condition to play for some time. With Vernon Spencer, who was injured at Galveston, the Indians have two of their best bet* for outfield duty sitting on the sidelines Spencer, however, will be back in the game sooner than at first expected, and he now is limp lug around a bit. The first reports were that Vernon had broken his leg, but the injury proved to be a torn ligament in his left knee. Harry Purcell continues to swat the bail, but his fielding is not what it must be. In the games against the Giants, several balls escaped him, and then he got every one thinking that it was all a mistake by coming in on Frankie Frisch and grabbing an honest-to goodness shoestring catch. Covington will be away from camp until Monday. He was called to Dentson. Texas, on business. Flashy Dick Attreau, the Indians' utility first baseman will hold down the initial sack in Sunday's game with the Giant Colts. Causey, Ryan and Shea probably will be the pitching selections against the Indianapolis team. AU are prospective regulars with the Giants and were sent out with the second team for the purpose of getting plenty of work-out. The Marlin folk will give a barbecue for the Indians and Giants this evening. Captain Moinzen of Indianapolis, stationed with the First Baited States Infantry at Camp Travis, San Antonio, paid the Indians a visit and inquired about things in general In Indianapolis His parents reside ori the south side, living in Laurel street.

Killinger Is Sent to Jersey City by New York Yankees NEW YORK, March 25—Great football player that he is, Glenn Killinger. the I’enn State sensation of 1921. could not do his stuff in baseball. Victim, perhaps, of too much publicity, the allAmerican back of last fall has been dropped by the New York Yanks to tho Jersey City club in the International League. The ivory sorters at the New Orleans camp said “Killy” could not hit them at his knees, and he couldn’t time his swing. lie made a great effort, but he was Just a novice on the diamond. It might have been that his faults were accentuated because too much was expected of him. Being “good copy" for the newspaper men, they pushed him out in the front rank of the rookies when he might have fared far better in- an obscure place. The same misfortune may follow him to his minor league berth if he decides to go through the polishing machinery of baseball. The funs around the International circuit will expect Just as much of him as the big-time bugs, and everything he does will be under the glass. rT>ILLIARDS 1 Ralph Greenleaf, world's champion pocket billiard player, along with his ‘partner James Thompson, were due to arrive in the city today for their exhibitions to be staged at the Dension Hotel billiard-room Monday aud Tuesday afternoon and nights. Greenleaf will coca direct from Niagara Falls, where he has been engaged in a series of match games. According to his manager, Kd Spears, Ralph is playing the greatest game of his youthful career. Greenleaf features ills playing by the wonderful control he has of his cut ball. An example of his forethought in hii position play can be had from what occurred in his final night's play with former Champion Thomas Ilueston In New York City recently.

TRIS SPEAKER IS REAL HOPE' OF CLEVELAND If Great Leader Can Shake Injury Jinx Team Will Be in Race. PITCHERS MUST DELIVER BY r KENNETH C. CLARK. CLEVELAND, March 25.—Any team with Tris Speaker at its head is bound to be a dangerous ball club. Ever ’since the gray thatched Texan took hold of the Cleveland Indians, they have been up there fighting and they'll be there this year. Any one who knows Speaker wonders what there is in him that a great Jinx likes well enough to stick around all the time. He can not shake the handicap of injury after injury. First it was the death of Ray Chapman, then injuries to fcteve O’Neil and Nunamaker and finally a pulled knee that may end his own active baseball career. Where the Indians finish in the 1922 race depends in,a large part on Speaker, if ho is able to play every day, they ought to be one, two, three, but if he stays on the bench with his bad leg, the Tribe mav have to fight for third place. With tne exception of Elmer Smith, Doc Johnstqn and George Burns who left the club by trades, it is the same team just two years older than the wyrld's champions of 1920. Much depends on the pitchers this season. Coveleskie, Bagby and Mails will bo the truck horses. Four promisii g young pitchers have been picked up and they may be carried —George Keidel, Nelson I'ott, Vesco Barton and Carl Guess, a Canton semi-pro. George Uhle is an effective pitcher against several clubs and Allan Sothoron has many good games left in him. Speaker, first to use the double outfield shill, regularly, may work the same theory this season with his Infield. As the frt combination ho is planning to use Jlclnnis at first, Vfamby at second, .Sewell at short and Gardner at third. The second combination to consist of Guisto at first, Hammond at second. Wamby at short and Stephenson at third base. * . Joe Wood, the old “smoke boy,” probably will work regularly In right field wi:h Jamieson and Evans in left and Jack Grauey in reserve. With Speaker iu center, that would be a good outfield. Finals in Hand-ball Meet MILWAUKEE, March 25.—Art Scanner of Milwaukee, who yesterday defeated L.
