Hu Timet Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 11.— The Wisconsin basketball team will close the Purdue court schedule Thursday night in Memorial gymnasium.

INDIANS PREPARE FOR FIRST EXHIBITION GAME Cleveland Americans at Plant City Friday—Christenbury and Clarke Not Yet Signed—Thompson Impresses. By EDDIE AttH Times Sports Qditor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 11. —Manager Chvnie Bush today started heavy preparations for the Indians’ opening game of the spring exhibition program Friday, when the Cleveland Americans will be met at Adelson field, Plant City. He has changed his mind about the starting pitchers for Indianapolis and was undecided regarding the twirlers who are to appear in the first struggle.
Fitzsimmons and Schemanske are complaining about sore arms, but Trainer Pierce is i.ot wasting any time and he may hava the huge right-handers ready when the bell rings. Another condition worrying Bush is the fact that Outfielders Christenbury and Clarke are In camp, but have not attached their signatures to contracts. Road Secretary Hayward Smith said Chnstenbury accepted terms, but the midget rightfielder evidently desires to play around awhile before going through with the final arrangements. Both Christenbu>-v and Clarke practiced Tuesduy and displayed good form. Batting Order Manager Bush announced late Tuesday night that his probable

batting order for the Cleveland game Friday provided developments move along as expected, will be as follows: Chrlstenbury, rs; Kicking, 2b; Hodapp, 3b; Relig, If; Schinandt, lb; Clarke, cf; Kchreiber, ss; Krueger, c, and then the pitchers. The long workout Tuesday was all to the merry and several pitchers uncorked a plenty to the batsmen. The three catchers, Krueger, Florence and Robertson, took turns behind the plate and when the day’s session was ended all the athletes admitted they were winded. Pitcher John Thompson, ths Hoosier giant, impressed Bush by his performance on the mound and at hat and the Tribe pilot said the big boy certainly would receive a ldng and thorough trial. Thompson displayd a dazzling curve and fielded his position better than the training camp critics expected. Niles also showed better control than last week and Bush plainly was pleased by the slim hurler’s actions. Thompson Smacks ’Em Southpaw Thompson whaled out a few long drives Tuesday in his few chances during batting practice and convinced all present that his extra, poundage may be an asset rather than a liability. But In the meantime Trainer Pierce tfie&ns to keep the big fellow on the go chasing obesity. The Tribe trainer is doctoring ailments of six players. Thompson has an infected finger; HodaPp has a lame back; Burwell, Schemanske and Fitzsimmons have aching arms and Clarke has a “game” leg. Catcher Robertson displayed stronger titrowing skill’ Tuesday and also advanced to a marked degree* in batting power. Catcher Florence threw the ball to bases in rifle like style Tuesday and even the veteran Eddie Sicking was “handcuffed” frequently while taking short throws, practicing defense against the double steal. Southpaw Bob Steele started to let out Tuesday and threw the batters off their stride several times by his change of ptce. LOCALS WIN MILE RELAY Butler Team Defeats Ohio Wesleyan at Cleveland Meet.

Tribe Gossip
ELANT CITY, Fla., March 11.—Jim Pierce, Tribe trainer, is Ownie Bush’s handy man in the spring training camp. Pierce played ball in many minor leagues and also has helped in the coaching of the nine at Purdue University. He also has been a minor league manager. Therefore, Bush is able to call on Pierce to help instruct Tribe rookies when business becomes pressing. -I- -I- -IPierce is a typical minor league veteran, and he is wll posted on snappy remarks and baseball side lights. Fact of the matter, Jim is a rare comedian. Wise cracks cannot come too fast for Pierce, and he keeps the rookies in good humor when they are inclined to droop in spirits. •I- -|- -IPlerce keeps his eyes on the athletes and quickly discerns faults in playero* actions on the field. He’s an able lieutenant for the peppery boss of the Hoo siers. ' -I- -I- -IBig John Thompson, the rookie southpaw from Argos. Ind., is being given •pedal attention by Bush and Pierce. Thompson weighed 225 the first day at Plant City, ana It will be necessary for him to reduce that poundage if he desires to travel in the A. A. He is a Eood-natured boy. and is trying hard, ut fat and slowness handicap nim. -I- -I- -IICJSH IS GIVING THE HUGE HOOSIBR LOTS OF BATTING PRACTICE AS AN EXPERIMENT TO SEE IF THE „ ' YOUTH POSSESSES POSSIBILr IVIES AS A PI|NCH HITTER. When Owner Smith landed in , Plant (Sty, he announced he planned to walk to the ball park and back each day. The park is a mile and a quarter from the hotel. The first day the Tribe president started the hike, two motorists stopped him and offered lifts. He refused. A third motorist refused to take “no” for an answer and Smith’s walk was ruined. The same thing happened when Smith tried to do a heel-and-toe back to the hotel. Thereupon Smith annoupced, ‘They won’t let me get in shape. *j AH bets are off.” In three days be gained four pounds.
am INDIAN AEOLUS TIMES
Tourneys are scheduled at Anderson, Frankfort, Richmond, Gary, Kokomo, Bloomington, Evansville and Ft. Wayne. Eight teams compete at each place. Every regional center will have a team from Its own community in the running, with the exception of Anderson and Bloomington, which clubs fell by the wayside in the sectionals. Six Games Six games are on the program at each tournament, two in the morning, two in the afternoon and two at night. Two winner** from each regional come to Indianapolis on March 20 and 21 for the final drive to the wire. Some of the clubs which squeezed through their sectionals will And the going too difficult against stronger opposition and succumb. On the other band, there are a number of teams which have no State-wide reputation, but may surprise. It is difficult to keep track of some 700 teams throughout the season. Every year some team or teams Jazz up the situation by showing unexpected power. The 1925 meet probably will prove no exception. The regionals will tell more of a story regarding strength than the sectionals. Basis of Comparison Nearly every club must meet a team in the regionals the record of which Is known. The contests will furnish a basis of comparison. Some teams may reach the finals without encountering any great opposition. and better clubs stay at home. But it aU works out In the end. The ‘‘survival of the fittest” law is in operation. The local interest is, of course, centered In the chances of Shortridge at the Andersop regional. The Indianapolis Club must defeat Greenfield In its first game at 2 p. m., on Saturday and then take on tne winner of the Lapel-Muncie contest at 8:30 p. m. It ie no easy task the locals have ahead of them. Interest High The Blue and White team will be accompanied to Anderson by quite a number of fans. Interest is high at the north side school. It Is the most the young fans have had to get excited over for many a long day. And they are making the most of4t. At a glance it looks as though the most thrills probably will be crowded Into the Bloomington regional. If they win their first games Martinsville and Franklin . clash in one of the evening affairs, with Washington and Brazil meeting in the other. There’s a double-header worth seeing. Kokomo center will have some battles. Logansport and Kokomo have a chance to battle in tbe last game Saturday night. Mai • probably will play Huntington. Evenly Matched Some real struggled are In prospect at Richmond, with Columbus, Shelbyvllle, Morton of Richmond, Rushville and Connersvllle all thotight to be evenly matched. The Rochester regional is very uncertain, with Rochester appearing a winner of one half. Valparaiso or Froebel of Gary probably will be the other one. According to dope, Central of Evansville and Vincennes should emerge from the Evansville meet with colors flying. Big Question The Ft. Wayne regional Is one big question mark, as not a great deal is known about tb>i northern clubs in that tournament. Frankfort shou'd have no trouble In getting Into the select sixteen at the Frankfort regional. The other winner there may be West Point.

CHASTENED YANKS PUT PEP IN TRAINING WORK Contrast Startling as New York Players Hustle Miller Huggins Becomes Driving Taskmaster. Bu Timet Special ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 11.—The New York Yankees have broken out of their go-as-you-please gait which formerly distinguished them as the most pampered major league ball club and are now going at their work at pace which leaves the athletes sore and gasping.
The spring training program ot the Yanks today is just as hard and long and fast as that of the Giants who are driven by the most relentless sergeant in the game, John J. McG/aw. The contrast between the Yanks of today and the Yanks who took their ease when the club trained In New Orleans is the contrast between a lazy, conceited team, in charge of a half-scared manager and a hustling, uncertain squad commanded by a driving taskmaster. Miller Huggins, no longer In doubt as to whether he will be uphekl by the owners of the team In any discipline that he may enact, is asserting himself boldly this spring. He holds double sessions of practice and makes the athletes go full tflt all the time they are on the lot. He used to call one practice ©very day and permit his stars to go absent from roll call if they didn’t feel like playing. ANOTHER ONE Ritola Smashes Record in Cleveland Meet.
