tribesmen returning in FINE SHAPE FOR SEASON Team Will Practice on Local Lot Thursday Afternoon — Smith and Bush Pleased With Plant City Sojourn. By EDDIE ASH Time* Sports Editor EN ROUTE WITH INDIANS, April 9.—The Indians were speeding North today, bound for Indianapolis and the home lot. They were aboard the Suwanee River Special and all the athletes were enjoying the scenery along the way. Oranges, grapefruit and strawberries presented the hall players at Plant City by Sam Adelson gave the boys something to keep Florida and spring training days fresh in their minds.

The Hoosier squad pulled out of Plant City at midnight Tuesday. Their farewell practice session In the southland was fast and snappy and the athletes responded to Manager Bush's orders with agility and pep. The Tribesmen are returning to Indianapolis in excellent condition and with everybody satisfied and filled ■with a desire to win for Bush. The Hoosier party is scheduled to reach home at 11:50 Thursday morning. Practice will be held at Washington Park Thursday afternoon. There Is every reason to believe the Indians will return to Plant City next year. Owner Smith and Manager Bush told boosters there they were pleased with conditions. The diamond was rough and handicapped the infielders, but it can be improved with little expense. The proprietor of the Colonial Hotel gave the ball players a special dinner Tuesday evening. Several Plant City boosters attended and again invited the Hoosiers to return in 1925. HANOVER, CINCY l). ON BUTLER CARD Locals Lose to Purdue in Hectic Struggle.

STRONG PITCHING PUTS REDS VERT MUCH IN RUNNING Cincy Regarded as Favorite for National Flag by Some Experts, By HENRY L. FARRELL t. nitrd Brest Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 9.—With three new pitchers added as strength to last year’s second place club, the Cincinnati Reds are being regarded in some quarters as the favorite in the 1924 National League pennant race. The Reds got some fine pitching last season, but they didn't get enough of it. The team hasn’t the terrific punch and it depends more upon pitching than do the Giants, the Cards and some other of the hard-hitting clubs. Some of the players on other clubs feel that the Reds have a spotty Infield. that Jake Daubert is through as a first baseman and that Pinelli will not do at third oase. Daubert in Sliape Daubert, according to reports from the training camp, is as good as ever and is in better physcial condition to play this season than he was last. Jack Hendricks, who was given the management of the team when Pat Moran died, has Caveny to use at shortstop and either Bohne or Fonseca for second base. It is probable that Fonseca will be used more than Bhne. The infield is not a highly spectacular one, but it is efficient. With Roush, Duncan, Bums and Harper, the Reds have sufficient outfield strength. Hargrave is rated by John McGraw as the best catcher in the National League, and Ivy Wingo is a good experienced catcher to work with. They probably will be alternated, although Hargrave will be needed for his hitting. Classy Pitching Staff The pitching staff is all class. The staff Is headed by Pete Donohue, one of the best young pitchers In the game. Then there are Luque, the sensation of 1923. Eppa Rlxey and Rube Benton, experienced left handers. and the new-comers, Carl Mays, Tom Sheehan and Jakey May. C. Mays ought to have at least one good year in new surroundings and Sheehan and Jakle May were considered the class of all the minor league pitchers. If Luque goes like he did last year, if Donohue has a good year and }f the three newcomers live up to promise it will take a lot to beat the reds io the race. I. T. A.

A GLA NCE BA CK WA RD AND GLIMPSE INTO FUTURE By EDDIE ASH *

"pn N ROUTE WITH INDIANS. r, April 9.—Ownle Bush’s Indians proved a great ad for the Hoosier State by the fine record they established in Florida this spring. They were the talk of the many camps and Indianapolis received much publicity through the performance of its ball club. The Tribe won seven out of nine games and five big league aggregations were among its victims. The Indians, therefore, attracted the same attention from natives and tourists as the major outfits. Plant City boosters expected the Indians to get their little city some publicity, but they had no idea the Hoosiers would make such a fine Job of It. The Indians had an edge, but not many Florida fans knew of it. The advantage the Tribe tearri held In some of the early exhibition affairs was the fact that Fitzsimmons, Petty. Brown and Krueger had played winter ball In Cuba and were in form when the training camp opened. Manager Bush at first was worried about that winter cruise to Cuba taken by four of his pjayers because he feared they might do too much and weaken their arms. He found his fears groundless, however, and was satisfied the little ball playing they did in Cuba helped each of the four and helped him put over some surprise victories in the southland.

Welcome Home! There has been a feeling among th© local fans for the past few days that It would be a fine thing if the Indianapolis baseball club should be met at the Union Station by a delegation upon their return home from the South on Thursday at noon. This feeling has gradually taken form and definite plans were made this noon at the Chamber of Commerce opening day committee meeting. A subcommittee was appointed to arrange a suitable welcome home for the Indians when they got off the train after their trip from Plant City, Fla.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TERRIFIC SPEED SHOWN BY MILTON’S GAS BUGGY Intrepid Tommy, in Workout for May 30 Race, Travels at Amazing Pace —Due in Two Weeks, Id preparation for the international 500-mile race, which will be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30, Tommy Milton, twice "winner of the Indianapolis classic, recently wheeled his speed mount over the bed of Dry Lake, uear Los Angeles, at the rate of 141.15 miles an hour.

Milton, the recognized world’s speed king who sent a sixteen-cylinder car over the sands of Daytona Beach, Fla., at the rate of 156.4 miles an hour, the fastest any human has ever officially traveled on four wheels, is expected to get even more speed out of the tiny Miller Special of 122 cubic inches piston displacement which was especially built for the international race. Records are almost certain to fall in the coming race, when the small motors, raced for the first time last year, are stnt flying around the Indianapolis track with a year of competitive experience worked into them. Uas Won Twice It was Tommy Milton who won last year's race and broke the time-worn barrier that, no driver who ever had won a 500-mile race could repeat. MiJton also won in 1921. Milton's preparation for the Indianapolis race has been thorough. He took his new car to the long sweep of hard earth In Dry Lake and made j his unusual test In a strong, unfavorable wind. The wind resistance slowed the car several miles an hour. Due In Two Weeks He will arrive at the Indianapolis: track within two weeks and will! spend the remainder of the time he- j fore the race tuning the car for ‘he two j and one-half-mile brick oval, which | has brought fame and fortune to him. , The excessive speed of Milton's j Miller Special will be equaled by other cars In the race, It Is believed in the racing camp here. Fast cars will j be the order of the day.

Derby Speed By Timet Special LOUISVILLE, April 9 —Wise Counsellor, John S. Ward's crack colt, turned In the fastest workcut of any Derby candidate this year when he traveled the mile Tuesday In 1:44. The colt carried his Derby impost, 126 pounds, and was ridden by an exercise boy. He was held back throughout the mile. The son of Mentor circled the oval at Churchill Downs eager to be let out. and at the wind-up he was fighting hard for his head.

SHE Tribe manager continues to express confidence In the ability of his club to battle among the front runners In the American Association race this season. He feels sure the boys will stick In the first division throughout ths campaign and perhaps offer numerous challengers for the pennant. Bush doesn’t want to handicap his club by claiming the pennant for It, but he has said frequently that If the athletes keep hustling he will not be surprised to see them finish one, two, three. Bush doesn’t believe In pre-season guesses and opinions. He Is anew manager In the league and has been so busy training his own squad that he has not had muoh time to collect all data on rival clubs. He desires to see the other seven teams In action before passing a definite opinion about the race. The Minneapolis Millers are threatening a lot of damage. Mike Kelley evidently has been supplied with a bank roll of huge proportions and he is using It. In a way Bush regretted to see Jay Kirke sold to Minneapolis and add strength to that club, but the Tribe pilot decided Kirke deserved personal consideration in the matter owing to the fact he Is a veteran of many years and a player who has been a credit to baseball.

HALF-MILE PILOTS STEPONTUEGAS Raiibirds Get Thrills at Hoosier Motor Speedway, Raiibirds h.>i their first taste of real speed this season when four drivers turned some fast laps at the Hoosier Motor Speedway Tuesday afternoon In preparation for the race there May 3. Joe Huff. Ray Butcher. Albert Shaw and Carl Rogers had their racing mounts in. fine fettie and the result was a number of laps at just about as much speed as the half-mile track wilj permit. Shaw, who Is one of the youngest drivers entered in the coming race, stepped hard on the accelerator, roaring down the straightaways at high speed and taking the turns at a hardly slackening pace.

Plans will be made for participation in the Washington park opening day parade on April 15 and the amateur opening day celebration on April 26.
