INDIANS START ON FIRST LAP TOWARD HOME Tribe Not Bit Sorry to Shake Texas Sand From Spik ;S. \ YANNIGANS BEAT REGS MARLIN, Texas, March 29.— Packing r.f trucks and grips occupied the Indianapolis American Association .. team here most of Tuesday in preparation for the deserting of the Indian's training camp where the Tribe has been quartered since March 7. Manager Hendricks and his crew of twenty-two athletes and others of the training camp population, boarded the Katy flyer this morning with Sapulpa, Okla., as the first stop. The Tribe will then move over to Tulsa for three days and get back into Hoosierdom April 3. There is not much gnashing of teeth nor loud w,'tiling because the Indians are to leave Marlin Springs. In fact, there is great Joy. and the Indians are perking up a bit with prospects of new scenery in the near future and a hope of escaping the gloomy atmosphere and winds which have been their lot ior the last week, though reports indicate they may be disappointed with a threatened snowstorm iu prospect for the Middle West. However, training camp routine is a monotonous grind and the Indians are sorely tried and at a “'jumpy stage." The entire crew is anxious for the opening of the season, and with it the beginning of the pay checks, with the possible exception of Hendricks chucking brigade. The firing squad possibly could stand a bit more Southern sunshine, but inasmuch as Mariin Springs ias not been getting its allotted share recently and the opening of the season is still two weeks off, the huriers, it is beileved, will have plenty of time and opportunity to knock off the rough edges before the Association battle starts. Hendricks has the remainder of the team ready aud in a fighting mood and with Carman Hill, and Pug Cavet in good shape, he be-1 lieves the Tribe will be able to hold its own from the start. The Vannigans and regulars engaged in another struggle yesterday afternoon which, like previous encounters, resulted favorably for the Tanaigans. Lee Bartlett pitched for the victorious Vannigans and Harry Weaver did the twisting for the regulars, both pitchers displaying excellent form and bringing anew light of hope to the Tribe as far as the pitching end is concerned. The game went to the Tannlgans by a score of 5 to 1 with Eddie Sicking, the Indians’ second baseman, gathering the hitting honors with three safeties, one which caromed off the fence for a Cavet was the only home run hitter of the game, sending the Vans in the lead in the eighth inning in which the youngsters gathered four tallies. Purcell and Schrieber also came across with extra 1 base hits. NOTES OF THE TRIBE. Vernon Spencer will not accompany the Indians to Sapulpa and Tulsa, but wil! depart from here for Wixom, Mich., his home and will report hack to the Indians at "Washington Park, April 6. The speedy gardener, who sustained a torn ligament in the opening game at Galveston. expects to le ready for active duty soon after the season opens with a possible chance that he may be fit for the opener. Eddie Brown, the other member of the Tribe on the inactive list, will put on a uniform the Trib-* plays Sapulpa at Tulsa, but it is not believed he will play in thee games. Brownie lost practically all of the training period, owing to a cold, and his recovery hag been painfully slow. He is coming through all rigSt now and expects to have little trouble now in getting into condition. However. hU illness will prevent the Tribe showing its fullest strength fr some time, as he is under weight and may find the path slower than he anticipates. Purcell came through again yesterday. The slugging outfielder obtained from the Central League, where he led the loop in hitting with an average of .380, slammed out a triple in yesterday’s game and appears to be a real slugger. His fielding, too, is much better than early performances. With Brown and Spencer In shape and Walter Rehg, Eugene Morrison and run-el! also to be counted on, there is no loafing going on by any of these men, and they all look like the goods. Fans in Indianapolis know the strength of the infield and it Is going even better than ever before. The inner works defense in the exhibition games has been a? near perfect as possible, and the catching staff with the brilliant Krueger and Dixon holding the windpads is all that could, be desired. Bill Heine played a nice game at short yesterday and succeeded in making several brilliant plays. He cut two runners off at home by dandy stops and even better tin. ws. His only hit was a bunt which he beat out by a narrbw margin. “Dinty Moore” Dixon was the second baseman for the regulars. He stopped one with his shins and was willing to retire. Dixon's work behind the plate has been of high order this spring. COI.FMBI'S GETS OUTFIELDER. ST. LOUIS. March 23.—The release of Phil Todt, outfielder, to the Columbus American Association Club by the St. Louis Club, was about the most interesting Item of reports sent home from the spring training camps of the Browns and bt.

Peyriolds 9 Speed Is Doctor's Downfall in Wrestling Bout Jack Slips Out of Danger Holds and Eventually Puts Over Victory. Jack Reynolds, welterweight wrestling star, won again at the Broadway Theater last night, defeating Tommy Doctor, the pducky Rocky Mountain wrestler. After one hour and twenty-six minutes and thirty seconds of hard wrestling Reynolds clamped on his leg-split with effect. Doctor was game, however, and withstood the hold for almost a minute before giving In. Doctor took the optional extra ten minutes of rest allowed him by the Police Gazettte rules and at the end of that time returned to the mat limping Reynolds took the aggressive Immediately and completed the final fall In one minute and forty seconds by the use of a wrist-lock and head-scissors.

The match Is drawing capacity crowds.) BY WILLIE HOPPE. Former Billiard Champion of the World. CHICAGO, March 29. —I expect to win hack the title lonlght. I want to say this as modestly as I can. I feel that I am going to win. I will be greatly disappointed If 1 do not. It is anybody's contest now. The forty-eight points difference between our soores really means very little. The Issue will he decided, I am sure, hy the question of who g<*ts going first tonight I think it’s my turn. I'm due. Both nights I have stnrted lute and have had to stage a comeback. My brilliant opponent on each occasion got nwuy to a big start. The first night he had me 416 to 194. Last night he ran 300 points while I was registering 97. I was 272 points behind Schaefer last night when I finally got started. It was good that I did, for all lie needed was ono fair-sized run to go out and I would have been In a bad hole for the finish tonight. But runs of 134 nnd 167 permitted me to pass Schaefer, the score standing 952 to 942 when ho took up his cue to shoot after my miss. Then ne clicked off 58. So you see how close It is. Schaefer's best runs last night were his first, two, 157 nnd 142. My two best were my last two, 134 and 167. I stnrted miserably both nights and, if I may say It. finished grandly. It will be up to me tonight to get started early. Schaefer’s shooting nt times last night wns dazzling. His round the-table shots wero magnificent and he repeadly drove, into fine position after bad lays. I did my bet work at close range. Toward the ilnlsh I was nursing the spheres in great shape. If I do say It myself. 1 was Just getting going right. Tonight, however, will settle It. May the better man win.

JURY WAIT MORE OF GOAT GETTER TO RICKARD THAN ROLLING DICE FOR $35,000

Pressed to he more definite than “they” Tex Rickard, “out of the bad mess" that has had him worried for months, added this morning: “They know who I mean and that's all for the present. “Framing and blackmailing are all a part of the, big game I guess, but there are no rules that prevent you from striking back.” Rickard says that hitting pay dirt in Alaska and counting $700,000 winnings In tour years didn't compare to the thrill that.was his when the jury said he was not guilty of improper relations with the little 15-year-old girl. “I’ve never felt so good. I feel like fighting. All I need is a good match and I know where they are—several of them." The former matchmaker of the Garden
WABASH TEAM WORKS INSIDE No Vacation for Scarlet Ball Squad, Which Practices Twice Daily. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., March 29. —Wabash's baseball squad, twenty strong, Is enjoying spring vacation practice with work-outs inside the big Scarlet gymnasium this week. Ingalls field has been nothing short of a sea of mud for the last five days and present Indications are that the entire week will see Coach Harry Scholler's national pastitners receiving thvir training under a covered roof. There Is a real fight on for Job* on the Wabash squad this season and the Little Giant pilot may find it rather difficult to cut his roster down to fifteen men In time for the opening clash of the season, which comes with Illinois University at Urbana on April 18. The same club will be met there the following day. Last yenrss men who are in camp here are: Mount, Gullett, Thorn, Captain Schanlaub. Goldsberry. Ash. Kessler, F. Wyatt. Rex and Grater, while Blacker, a pitcher, probably will report If he can arrange to sidetrack some work in which he Is now occupied. The new men In the fold are: Metzler, H. Wyatt, Burdette, Hbepperd, Foe, Dale, Mcßoherts. Mlillkln. Nurnberger and Phillips. Roll, an inflelder, and Chew, a catcher, are both on the hospital list and did not remain over for practice. No practice games' have been scheduled for the Scarlet yet, but It is probable that a team from Indianapolis, including such ball players as Noonan. Gard, Feezle, Poirier, Mattern. Reno. Dawson, Dugan nnd others, will be down here April 10, 11 and 12 for practice These contests, coming one week In advance of the opening game for Wabash, would no doubt afford splendid practice for the Little Giants. The big Scarlet gymnasium, with Its dirt floor, where the ball tossers go through their workouts twice a day. resembles a real Dixieland training camp.
