National League Clubs Ready for Umpires’ ‘Play Ball ’ —Start Tuesday

TIGER CONTEST CLOSES TRIBE’S EXHIBITION CARD Indians Then Will Brush Up for Grand Opener—Cold One Taken by Pirates, Final exhibition game of the spring at Washington Park was on today—Detroit Tigers vs. Indians. Ty Cobb brought his first stringers to town and lots of clawing around was expected before the afternoon was over. The Pittsburgh Pirates annexed the Sunday contest at the ball yard, 8 to 6. The fracas was played with bitter weather prevailing, but nearly 2.000 fans defied pneumonia and attended the performance. Pirates’ Best Performs Manager Bill McKechnie put his strongest line-up on the field and Mr. Reb Russell of Indianapolis occupied the right garden. Wilbur Cooper opened on the mound for the big leaguers and Bagby and Glazncr took turns in the late innings. Walter Schmidt was behind the bat. Because of the frigid weather Manager Hendricks also used three pitchers, Burwell, Fitzsimmons and Hill. Pittsburgh got fifteen hits and the Tribesmen fourteen. The Indians have been able to hold up their stick work this spring even in the games they have lost. It's a good sign. The Pirates’ big inning was the fourth when they scored four runs off Fitzsimmons. An infield misplay started the McKechnie crew on its way in that frame. Great Play by Traynor "Pie" Traynor, third sacker, contributed the best bit of fielding when he snared Sicking's hard drive in the drth. Eddie gave the ball a terrific •'lout down the third base line and the drive looked like a sure hit. But somehow Traynor left his feet in a headlong dive and speared tbe pellet in backhand fashion near the bag. Then he straightened up and threw to first like a rifle shoots and got Sicking by a step. It certainly was a spectacular play. Cotton Tierney made a one-hand snare on Brown, next up, but it was more luck than skill. Christenbury played well around the keystone sack for the Indians and accepted ten chances out of eleven. Maranville also did a neat job of shortstopping for the Pirates.

AROUND THE A. A. By Eddie Ash

This must be the Cold Storage League. Baseballs and snowballs.'- I-et's sell the franchise to Frozen Dog, Alaska. The Tribe fans liked the looks of the Pirates. Opinion m expressed they look better than the Cincy Reds. “Pie” Traynor’s first name is Harold. Can you imagine a youth named Harold making a stop like Traynor made on Sicking? Neither can we. Traynor takes no chances of dimming his baseball eyes. He reads little and positively refuses to attend movie shows. The Demolishing Duct. Mr. Brown gnd Mr. Kirke, cut in with two hits apiece for the Tribe. One of Kirke's smacks was a triple. None of the players ordered iced tea at the evening meal Sunday. After the exhibition with Ty Cobb’a Detroit outfit today the Indians will ease off Tuesday and Wednesday and brush up for the big opening game battle with the Louisville Colonels Thursday. Leo Dixon got two hits, a sacrifice and a walk. Keep coming, Leo! Reb Russell got only one hit, but he made the one count. His drive in the sixth drove in two runs and those two won the bail game for the Pirates. Have you been watching the Kansas City Blues? They knocked over the Chicago Cubs again Sunday. Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee and Columbus teams were still In the Southland Sunday. They must have known something about what April had on tap in the North. The Millers beat Chattanooga. Old Dan Tipple, former Indian, hurled part of the game for Cantfllon. . Grab ’Em Grabowski is one of the Miller catchers this year.

BY PAT MORAN Manager Cincinnati Reds. My club finished second last year after one of the poorest starts ever made by a major league team- I Bhope to do as well this year, possibly better, which means I think we have more than a chance to win the National League pennant. My spite the fact that I rate my staff higher than most of the other National League clubs. In Donahue I have a second MORAN Mathewson, one of the outstanding stars of the league. A great pitcher like him means much to a club. BUTLER AND FRANKLIN Rain and cold weather has slowed up Butler baseball practice, but It has been just as unkind to other State colleges so when the Irvington team meets Franklin at Franklin Tuesday both will be equally handicapped.
