But no Sunday shows. A second movie house is to open shortly.

S [ OUTHERNERS think well of their basketball teams, not beImmJ ing familiar, of course, with the speed fives of Hoosierdom, In a recent article in the Tampa Times a writer said: “The North Carolina University aggregation, winners of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference basket title, could claim the lege championship of the country and get away with it, for woe betide the team which would dispute their cialm.” What a surprise that man would receive in Indiana! Murder will out and so will your home town if you try to hide the place of y our birth. Pitcher Clyde Seib is on the YVashington Park books as hailing from St. Louis. A barber of Plan 1 . City stopped Seib on the main stem and said: “Hello, young fellow, how ore all the folks back In Hamburg?” Thereupon Seib confessed he was born and reared in Hamburg, Mo., and not In St. Louis.' Thirty-two teams competed in the Florida State high school basketball tournament held recently. That’s a good showing in the next sport for a State that still has some unexplored sections. Business men advise newcomers to get in the strawberry game. The climate is superb for the berries, the demand for them from the North is usually strong and the turnover is fast because of the colony of buyers and shippers here. Bush is desirous of getting his Indians away fast in the 1924 race. Spring victories help much In improving the morale of a ball team and make the long, hard road of 168 games easier to travel, he says. Fresh eggs In Plant City—26c per dozen.

MANAGER BUSH WANIS BUNTING TEAMJHIS YEAR 'We’ll Utilize Our Speed to Fullest Advantage,’ Ownie Tells Tribe, By EDDIE ASH Times Sport Editor PLANT CITY. Fla.. March B.—During a brief get-together talkfest today Manager Bush told the Tribe athletes he had noticed that no one was making any effort to practice bunting. "From what I have observed,” said Bush, “the whole tendency has been to slam every ball to the fence. I want to state now that the new model Indians are going to be a bunting team. Lively ball or no lively ball, the player who can cross up an infield with a bunt has an advantage on the biff artist. Want Speed “We have a lot of speed in this squad and we want to take the fullest advantage of it. Any time I am at the plate in a ball game and I see the third baseman playing back, I bunt. Therefore, from this day on, don’t neglect bunting practice.’’ Bush said he intends to give Spud Campbell thorough, intensive coaching in laying the ball down. Spud was weak in this department of play in 1923. He is very speedy. The sun was bashful Friday for the first time since the Indians started training and the athletes had to keep hustling to keep ’from freezing. A rainstorm Thursday night and a strong wind Friday combjryjl to cool the atmosphere. A bar (f workout was indulged :n, nevertheless.
