TRIBE SPENDS FINAL DAY AT MARLIN CAMP Four More Exhibition Games and Then Team Comes Home Next Monday. SAPULPA NEXT ON CARD MARLIN, Texas, March 28.—Monday morning was the only practice session for Hendricks’ peppery Association outfit, which is soon to shake the dust of the Marlin training camp for the journey back to Indiana and the home lot of asnington Lark, which is the objective for April 3. All the Indiana were given a half holiday Monday as a reward for the excellent showing of Sunday. when the Hoosier prides knocked the Giant Yannigans for a curve and took the long end of a pretty game. Not quite all of the squad was enjoying the holiday, for the hurling staff and the catchers, the latter, the innocent victims, were at Rimes Park for a few hours of practice, with the pitchers angling for control, while their teammates were angling for fish in the Brazos River. ihe Indians will begin packing their finds here this evening in preparation for leaving Wednesday, and on Thursday the Tribe will hook up witn the Sapulpa team. Following the single game the Tulsa Western Leaguers are on the card for a three-game series which will come to a close Saturday evening. On Monday afternoon the Hoosier capital will be reached. Manager Hendricks Is feeling better about his team today than any time siuce the Indians arrived here March T. It is ro secret that the Tribe boss, with the knowledge that had a good team lined up, Was somewhat downhearted during recent days uccause the gang was not showing the improvement which naturally should follow the strenuous work of three weeks. But the victory Sunday has about taken all the gloom out of Marlin and as a reault the atmosphere is brighter. This is especially true in regard to Hill end Cavet, the two pitchers who performed so well Sunday. Jess Petty, though cutting them loose, plainly showed lie was far from form and needs plenty of work. NOTES OF THE TRIBE. The fielding of Harry Purcell is better than during the early days here when it appeared that the Central League batting champ was going to prove a bloomer on the fielding end. He has been clouting true to expectation, but his fly ball chasing at times was rather poor. Harry Will have to continue at his present speed to be in the running as the competition in the outfield is keen and ft few slips might mean disaster. Spencer and Brown still are out and probably will be for some time. Leo Dixon has hit a batting spree which threatens to make him a better hitter this year. The little auburn-haired Tndlan receiver is unquestionably a great catcher and thrower, and his bitting is •11 that caused Manager McGraw to let him come to the Indians last year. Leo has busted the ball at a lively pace In hlttir.g practice pe _ ods and also in the exhibition games he has got just a little more than the general run ofsafeties. Along with Ernie Krueger, the ex-Brook-lyn National League catcher, the pair abou* outclass anything In the league and they certainly improve the pennant prospects of the Tribe. Jim Clancy, the left-hand pitching candidate, who has been complaining of a aore arm in recent days, was throwing to the hitters Monday morning and felt better than at any time since he joined the Tribe. He was curving a few also and Showed some of the stuff which caused big league scouts to angle for his signature while he was a pitching star for Swarthmore College. Jim is up against a tough proposition with eight pitchers trying for berths, two of whom are lefthanders and who are Telerans, Petty and Cavet. This afternoon the regulars and YanDigans were to get together for the final practice game here. The players will not work out Wednesday as tu.y ijavo Marlin In the morning, but may ’stop In Waco for a session. Wasco will hold the Indians for five hours and the Tribe's manager may call for a session there. The Orlando team of the Florida State League gets a mighty promising catcher In Dudley Wfllamson, who was sent to that club Monday morning. Williamson hat attracted quite a bit of attention here at Marlin by his work and it waR only because ihe team has the best catchers in the league that tne Muncie boy was kept from a job with the Indians despite the fact that he was making his debut in fast company aad was wholly Without experience. In the Florida Leaguo Williamson phould prove a whiz-bang. Williamson's actions are much like those of Butch Jlenline, who was sold by the Indianapois club to the majors and is now catching for the Philadelphia National League team. Wiliamson’s throwing and receiving are his strong points, although bis hitting also is not a bit bad and With a yer.r in the minors where he will have the opportunity of batting every day £honld make him a valuable player by

Eugene (Slim) Jegen and John Everman boxed fast rounds and the little fellows mixed it all the way. Their exhibition of the fistic art brought cheers from the crowd.

WASHINGTON LOOKS GOOD FOR FIRST DIVISION IN AMERICAN
BY J. R. VILMKR. WASHINGTON, March 28.—Washington Is a sure first division outfit this season and can be considered also as a pennant possibility. W'th perhaps the best Infield In the American League, a first-class outfield, a good catching staff and a fair corps of pitchers, the Senators will take the field with about the best team Washington ever has had. In addition to possessing the stuff the team also has the spirit. Like all the clubs, excepting the New York Y’ankees, the greatest problem of Washington concerns the pitching. Waiter Johnson, of course, is the dean of the staff and much is expected of him this season. He has been lit with the grip, but he ought to be within two weeks after the opening of the season. Mogrldge, Zachary and Erickson, three veterans, looked very good In the training camp and Courtney, a younster who bad everything last season but control seems to have found the plate.

f jjILLIARDS j POCKET CHAMP PROVES SKILL Ralph Greenleaf, world's champion pocket billiard player, appearing at the Denison Hotel billiard rooms Monday, demonstrated that he is in a class by himself. The champion put up two clever exhibitions and amazed fans with his work. In the evening game with W. W. Everett of this city as his opponent, the champion ran a high count of 83 bolls. He cameaback with a pretty count of 24 after which he scored an unfinished count of 21 and reached the 150-ball mark in the ninth inning. In the afternoon exhibition, Greenleaf had James Thompson, the Carolina boy wonder, a* an opponent and in five In nlngs of play scored his 150 points while Thompson registered a totnl of twenty bails. In this match, tho champion for the first time in tho history of local pocket billiards, passed tbo century mark with a high run of 106 balls. Greenleaf shot tho bails into tho pockets with rapidity and by marvelous control of his cue ball made every shot perfect. After making tho ono hundred and sixth ball he chose the seven ball rather than an easy shot on the number six ball, to get n better break shot, but missed by a hair. He needed but four, which he counted in tho next inning and ended the match. After the 14-1 exhibition tho players gave a series of fancy and trick shots that pleased the fans. Greenleaf and Thompson were to play again this afternoon at 3:30 p. m., while at 8:30 p. m. Walter ltamsey of this city will tackle the champion. Ramsey is well known locally for his pocket billiard skill and many believe lie will give the champ a hard match. Indoor Tennis Tourney NEW YORK, March 28.—Twenty survivors resumed play on tho serenth Regiment Armory courts today in tho inon's annual national Indoor tennis championship singles. Frank T. Anderson of Brooklyn is present title holder. Eighteen teams wll lcompete in the doubles which start tdoay. William T. Tilden, world’s singles champion, is paired with 14-year-old A. L. Weiner.
If the Senators are able to develop * couple of reliable youngsters who can take their turn in the box half the battle will be won. There are three good prospects with the team—Gleason, a Shreveport rookie; Woodward, a veteran of the minors from New Haven, and Pbillipps. a youngster from New Orleans. The real find looks to be a younster named Brillheart. He is a southpaw and Is only 18. If he comes along he ought to be a sensation in another year. The addition of Roger Pecklnpaugh to the infield means muck. Last yi e, Harris as second and Shanks at third had to play out of their territory to help out a weak short stop and their work necessarily suffered.

HOPPE FEELS HE’LL IMPROVE Former Cue Champ Unshaken by Defeat in First Block of Match. (Editor’s Note—Willie Hoppe, wizard of the cue. who is now ploying Jake Schaefer, the champion, for the world’s 18.2 balk-line billiards title, 1,000 points, in Chicago, tells his impressions in the following article of the first phase of the match won last night by Schaefer, 500 to 486, after u thrilling contest.) BY WILLIE HOPJ*K. Former Billiards Chnmplon of the World. CHICAGO, March 28.—1 realize I have a tough opponent. Schaefer played wonderful billiards last night. He made almost every conceivable shot. He showed resourcefulness, brilliance and nerve. But I think I can beat him. I am a little proud of the game I played myself. I am sure I convinced Schaefer that it will be hard to defeat me. At one stage of last night's contest, after Schaefer made his spectacular run of 252, I appeared to the spectators to be hopelessly beaten. Schaefer followed this with a run of 146, missing on a difficult masse shot. He then had me 448 to 190. That looked bad. I had to get held of myself and get going, l did. I clicked off 260 points for the high run of the night, passing Schaefer, the score standing 450 to 446 when I went back to my seat. Then it was anybody’s game. It was a question of who would get the break and run out. We had plenty of chances, but ci uldn't get going. I followed with runs of 9,3 and 1; Schaefer with runs of 11, 9 and 1. Finally he got the break and ran out. As the score now stands, it’s really a toss up. I expect a close fight to the finish, nut I aiTT confident I will win. The score by innings of the IloppeSchaefer first block follows; Schaefer—o, 8, 0. 252, 40, 145, 11, 9,7, 34—500; average. 50. Hoppe—2, 14. 55. 114, 0, 280, 9,2, 1, x—--486; average, 517 9.

Welter Stars Clash in Big Mat Show; Two Other Matches Doctor and Reynolds Meet Tonight in Bout Expected to Be Fast. Two of the county’s best welterweight wrestlereg will meet cn the mat at the Broadway Theater tonight when Jack Reynolds tangles with Tommy Doctor of Colorado. The two men recently met o the mat at Martinsville and wrestled two hours and five minutes without a fall. It was the first time iu eleven years’ experience on the mat that Reynolds ever wrestled a draw. He either won or lost all other matches. Doctor, well known throughout the West for his clever work on the mat, came to Indianapolis three weeks ago. Little was known of him except by men who are close followers of the mat game and who read the record books regularly. Doctor was matched to meet Hugh Webb, of Terre Haute, one of the best welter weights in the Hoosier State. Webb was helpless in the hands of the powerful Colorado man. Both falls came quickly, Doctor winning in esay style. Immediately following the bout Doctor challenged Reynolds. Reynolds accepted and the wrestlers met in the main bout of a wrestling carnival at Martinsville. One of the greatest mat struggles iu the history of the wrestling game was the result and a draw was not satisfactory to either of the contestants or to the wrestling fans. Therefore, W. 11. Barton, Indianapolis promoter offered to match the two athletes for a finish bout to be wrestled at the Broadway Theater. This match is scheduled for tonight. Some idea of the class of mat man who opposes Reynolds tonight is hod when it is stated that Doctor has defeated such clever and powerful wrestlers as Bobby Roscoe, Dutch Mantell, John De Bolt, Billy Romanoff, Leon Chase, Dick Wolf, Joe Copher and Charles Miller. Doctor has pinned the shoulder* of Wainono Ketoneon, champion of Finland, whom he met at Lincoln, Neb. Doctor defeated Owen Dally in a recent match in Kansas. These are a few of the leading wrestlers who huve been defeated by Doctor. Not only will the Indianapolis wrestling fans have a chance to see the R_-yn-olds-Doctor match tonight, but two good preliminary bouts are scheduled.

Freakish Golf FRESNO, Cal., March 23—Two birdies on one hole was the phenomenal lrecord made on the Sunnyside Country Club golf links here by Gerald Thomas. Teeing off from No. 5, Thomas made a beautiful drive which sailed straight for the pin. One hundred and fifty yards down the fairway a flock of sparrows suddenly swooped into the course of the ball. Thomas’ first “birdie” was registered when his ball decapitated one of the sparrows. After pausing to mourn over the death of the sparrow Thomas played a full mashie approach to the green. His ball rolled into the cup, giving him birdie number two. The hole is a par three.
