Big Chiefs Talk It Over While Men Tune Up in South

Warming Up With the Tribe By Eddie Ash

LANT CITY, Fla., March 11.— |.l I Tlle ® tate of Florida is o* to I 1 “steal California’s stuff” and its publicity campaigns are getting results. It is gaining a monopoly on baseball training camps and hotel building is booming in many places. Some publicity articles turned out by Florida boosters are masterpieces in the art of “telling it to the world.” Here’s part of one load: “Florida has an invigorating atmosphere, cooled, warmed and cleansed by ozone from pines and by breezes from silvery lakes and tropic seas. It is nature’s sanitarium. Florida is in the most ideal latitude and longitude on earth, the warmest in winter, the coolest in summer. We are in the same latitude with the land which the Lord said would flow in milk and honey. “Florida is the playground of the western continent, the garden of the United States, where babbling brooks, rippling lakes, silvery rivers and crystal seas blend in eternal melody with stately palms, gorgeous magnolias, flaming poinsettias and myriad songbirds; where generous sunbeams, salt sea breezes and mellow moonlight make one forget his troubles." There is much wild game in Florida —even bear and deer. At this time of the year there are a lot of wild southpaw pitchers here also. Plant City, spring home of the Indians. is not a winter resort town and for that reason the Tribe ball tossers get more personal attention than play-

insistence on this phase of the game. In regional contests opponents found baskets hard to get. The team Is playing Us best bail right now.

ers with clubs located in the cities where tourists and vacationists compete with baseball. If the Indians succeed in holding their own w.th the big leaguers in the exhibition games, Plant City surely will feel repaid for its venture into the national pastime. Plant City does not boast of a golf course and when Ownie Bush heard that information he sad: “Fine! If the golfing ball tossers feel the need of more exercise let ’em go out to the park and take some extra batting practice.” The "Shorty Birch of Plant City” wandered around the hotel one day recently. He would make a good match for Shorty in a wrestling bout, but not in a shouting contest. He has a tenor voice. A small boy colored band was butchering "Three O’clock in the Morning" and Walter Rehg commented: "That's the way a three-o’clock-in-the-moming party up North sounds to a sober neighbor."

PITCHERS WORRY CLEVELAND BOSS Speaker Must Depend on Rookies to Deliver, By United .Vetr* LAKELAND. Fla., March 11.—Tris Speaker will now the discriminating task of sorting over eighteen men who are technically big league pitchers, in the hope that some seven or eight of them will prove sufficiently gflted to represent the Cleveland Indians next summer. Tris has assumed financial responsibility for the board bills of thirty-eight bull players, but his principal need is pitchers. He has George Uhle and Stan Covt leskie, who tvere the main winners last year, and Sherry Smith and Guy Morton, old timers who may never get in shape again. Edward and Saute, young left handers, who were the S. O. S. men for the team in the latter part of 1923. are almost certain to have steady employment for another year, but the four elder men arc so uncertain that the Indians simply must get some new boys from among the nvikles, or go into the market and buy some for a high price.
