RETURN OF SMITH AWAITEDAT PARK More Details Desired Regarding Deland Camp. Business at Washington Park Is at a standstill until the return of Owner Smith. Secretary Clauer and Manager Bush believe Deland, Fla., will be the spot chosen for the Tribe’s spring training camp, but they would like to have a look at tho place before closing a contract. . Secretary Clauer said today the Doland hotel rates are satisfactory to the club, but he desires more information about the hotel. “It might be a lodging house,” ho said. If the Indians train at Deland, they probably will use the grounds of Stetson University. The college was founded by the hat magnate. Daytona, Fla., wired the club today and asked the Tribe directors to give it consideration. Bartow, Fla., has been marked off the list. Bartow boosters wanted the Tribe there seven weeks. Too long, said Bush. Therefore, Deland remains the best bet for the Tribe cainp. Tribe player contracts have not been mailed. This end of the business is being held up until Owner Smith takes a peek at the various figures. ROSE AND NORMAL NET FIVES IN FIRST FRAY Engineers and Teachers, City Rivals, Battle on Court Tonight.

Johnny Hits Floor In the second round Brown started receiving with only an occasional successful effort to stave off Taylor’s wildcat rushes. In the third round, early, Taylor clipped Johnny on the chin with a vicious right and Johnny clipped the floor. Brown staggered to his feet, but not for long. Taylor overwhelmed him with punches. Johnny took six knockdowns before hd accepted dofeat. The fans gave him credit for ids nerve.
