Eddie Brown Is Traded to Brooklyn Robins—Swim Stars Open Big Meet
BAILEY AND JONES COME TO TRIBESMEN IN DEAL Outfielder and Shortstop Obtained for Veteran Indian Star —Exchange Made to Bolster Infield of Locals, Outfielder Eddie Brown of the Indians today was traded to the Brooklyn Nationals for Shortstop Johnny Jones and Outfielder Gene Bailey and a cash consideration. The amount of money involved, it is said, will enable the Tribe to purchase a pitcher. The Robins did not have a surplus twirler available to include in the deal. The trade was made by Owner
Smith after Brooklyn had made an offer and after Smith had communicated with Manager Bush. Bush sanctioned the deal. The club direc tors regret to see Brown leave, but the team needs bolstering on the infield and the officials decided Brown is entitled to graduate to the majors. Deserves “Trip I'p” Brown came to Indianapolis front the New York Giants, always has played good ball here, has been a favorite and always has been a credit to the game. Therefore, the majority of fans will be glad to see him receive a chance in the majors. He is 31 years old and is fortunate to get another big league opportunity at that age. The Brooklyn team made a cash offer for Brown when the Indians were in the South, but the Tribe officials rejected it. Players were demanded and the Robins at that time were unable to supply the athletes desired. Cincinnati recently made a cash offer for the tall Indian, but Bush again demanded players in exchange. The Reds tried to supply the talent demanded, but injuries to Cincy stars prevented any deal between that club and the locals. Good Start This Year Brown attracted much big league attention early in the spring by his hitting and also by improved throwing. His batting average As he leaves the Tribe is .327. Manager Bush has felt the need of a shortstop since the season opened, hut money eouid not purchase one. It was necessary to give up a player in order to strengthen and when Brooklyn agreed to deliver the players asked Brown was .permitted to go. Shortstop Jones was a star with the Portland Pacific Coast League last season and was purchased by Brooklyn for a reported price of $25,900. He did not break into the Robins' line-up this spring, however, because the veteran Johnson has been playing too well to remove. Manager Bush believes the Tribe will be well fortified in the outfield with Allen. Rehg, Christenbury and Bailey available, and takes the view that the loss of Brown will not weaken the club to the extent that the coming of Jones and Bailey will strengthen it. In other words, Bush figure.- h,- is not giving up as much as he is receiving. Star in Coast Loop Jones hit .302 in 1923 and fielded .943. He was generally regarded the best shortstop in the coast league. He stole twenty-two bases and got 154 hits in 642 times at bat and drove in seventy runs. Gene Bailey, the other player coming here in the Brown deal, hit .265 with Brooklyn last season. He bats right-handed. He drove out a homerun yesterday in the second game of the Brooklyn-New York double-head-er. The Robins have been using Bailey against left-handed pitchers. Brown will report to Broorlyn Friday and Jones and Bailey will join the Indians in Columbus Sunday. The Robins will not permit Bailey and Jones to leave until Brown arrives. The two Robins come to the Indians on an optional agreement, but can not be recalled until after the 1924 season. Indians at Toledo The Indians were rained out in Toledo Tuesday. Jess Petty was slated to pitch and Manager Bush planned the same box assignment today. The Indians play in Toledo today and Thursday and then move to Columbus for four games. The Tribe will return home to meet the leading Saints June 11. The Saints lost to the Brewers Tuesday and their big lead was reduced one-half game.

Has the pitcher a right to take a position off the rubber and feint a delivery of the ball to the batsman?—R. X. ANSWERS 1. The runner coming Home from third should be called out for the batter's in-terferem-e with Jess than two out. 2.

CLICK, NANN ON NEXT FORT CARD Other Bouts Announced — ‘Olympic Show’ Success, Sidnej Glick and Ray Huhn will meet in the headline bout on the Ft. Harrison boxing card next Tuesday night and the two semi-wind-ups will see Joe Andrews of Cincinnati pitted against Jack Dillon of Louisville and Reamer Roberts trading swats with Carl Stewart. Tuesday night’s card at the fort was staged for the benefit of the Olympic expense fund and was witnessed by a large crowd of well pleased fans. The main go between, Jack Eile of Chicago and Sammy Sandow of Cincinnati went the full route of ten rather unimpressive rounds to a draw. The real kick of the card was the eight-round semi-wind-up between Jimmie Dalton, Hoosier A. C. boxing instructor, and Jackie Barnhart of Terre Haute. Dalton easily took every round but the third and won the decision. Danny Cohen of Indianapolis was declared the winner over Jimmie Dell of Louisville in their eightround bout. A hard left to the stomach proved Dell's undoing. Allen Watson, local comer, was not quite fast enough for Timmy McDermott of Terre Haute and lost the referee’s favor at the end of their six-rounder. Freddie Hahn of Indianapolis and Kid Tillman of the fort opened the entertainment with a fast four-round socking exhibition that was a good draw.

BARTLEY MADDEN LOOMS AS TOUGH FOR HARRY WILLS' Colored Heavy Must Dispose of Irishman to Prove Title Chance, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 4,— After a dozen or more postponements, the Harry Wills-Bartley Madden heavyweight bout is on again for next Monday night. Since the contest was first arranged last winter, Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, has been panned for making a bad match. He is still getting the razz for going through with it. Wills, of course, has been considered for three years as the outstanding heavyweight challenger because of his size and because he never had been given a chance for the title. Firpo and Gibbons, the other chal- ' leng>cs, had their crack at the title and failed to deliver. Gibbons had a ’’air claim for a return bout with Dempsey when he remained erect for fifteen rounds against the chan,pion last summer in Shelby. When he failed to stop Ca>-pentier in Michigan City last Saturday, however, he lost all the arguments he had for a return hout and Wills remained more "logical” than he ver was as the leading contender. Tex Rickard has arranged a Wllls-Flrpo fight with the promise that the winner can meet Dempsey in September for the title. Wills naturally will have to make t good show,ng against Madden or the whole program will be upset.

Amateur Tips
SAYS URBAN SHOCKER Pitcher, St. Lous Browns mOO many pitchers make the mistake of putting everything behind every ball they pitch. To use baseball slang, they bear down from the start of the game to the finish, regardless of the score. There Is nothing that takes so much out of a pitcher as wasted effort. I make it a point to adapt my pitching to the score of the game. If I happen to have a six or sevenrun lead in the latter part of the game, I pitch entirely differently than If I was leading by a run, or the game was tied. My suggestion is to conserve your energy at all times and try to have something in reserve for the pinch. A pitching threat is a most effective weapon. Independent Baseball The Brightwood A.
