Next Move Is Up to ‘Pug’—Demands Exorbitant, Say Indian Bosses— Epidemic of Sore Arms. By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 12.—Unless Outfielder Pug Allen reports to the Indians shortly, Manager Bush and Owner Smith will go in the market after anew fourth fly chaser for the 1925 Tribesmen. The Tribe bosses discussed the matter today and agreed that further moves on the part of the club to bring the holdout to terms would be placing a handicap on the progress of the team and also prove unfair to the other players who are here on the job and working every day.

At any rate, the affair Is up to Allen now and lie will have to make the next move and do It Immediately or be confronted with drastic action. The youthful gardener sent another communication to the club Wednesday in which he noticed the officials he was standing pat on his high demands. Bush is In accord with Smith In decid ing the player is unreasonable in his terms. * Trade Gossip % There is trade gossip In the ajr and It may be possible that Allen will be used in a deal with another American Association team. However, Bush doubts very much if any class double ''A” club will meet Allen's salary demand. The American Association's new twenty player rule which stipulated two of the twenty men must not have had experience above class “B” has Bush guessing. With the exception of Pitchers Thompson and Cassel and Inflelder Deloof all Indiana in camp have played in leagues above class “B”. Likely Prospect Thompson stacks up as a likely prospect and probably will be retained for some time, at least, but Cassel and Deloof do not possess sufficient skill to travel wrlth the Hooslers. In taking on new players therefore, Bush always must have in mind the "rookie” rule. Bush fears Pitcher Ned Nile* won't be ready to take a regular turn on the mound when the championship season starts. And that Is one more problem. Niles can not grip the hall securely because of a recent operation on his throwing arm. At the present stage of spring training, therefore, the Tribe boss is satisfied with only two departments the infield and catching. “Plenty of tinkering looms before we are ready for the bell." were Bush's words today. N Sore “Whips” An epidemic of sore arms struck the athletes Wednesday, Schmandt, Sicking. Schemanske and Fitzsimmons complained of ailing “whips’’ and Hodapp still was handicapped by a lame back. Schmandt, Sicking end Hodapp took very little part in the Wednesday infield practice. Florence relieved Schmandt at first, Yoeter filled In at second and Clarke and Rehg, outfielders divided the work at third base. Clarke turned In a clever Job of fielding at the hot corner, but Florence <yd not show much grace in Schmandt's position. Manager Bush sent the Indians through sliding drill Wednesday and the playera displayed fair skill. Hodapp, Florence and the pitchers were excused from the exercise, but Hodapp was used to take the throw and tag the runners. Sc hr ether. Sicking and Clarke, eg-' celled in the art of hitting the dirt. Tris Speaker's Cleveland Ameri-1 cans will visit Plant City Friday to tangle with the Indians. Bush was undecided today about his starting pitchers. Riant City boosters hope to make a gala event of the exhibition opener. Girls’ Basketball. Broad Ripple high school girls’ basketball team will play the Parent-Teacher team Friday night at the school gymnasium. It will be the third annual game .between the teams. The parent-teaclier team will play Beech Grove mothers’ team April 19.

If Babe Ruth Is Broke — Midas Was a Pauper and i. P. Morgan Belongs in the Bread Line, Says Story From Camp.

Bv Timet Special ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., March 12.—1f Babe Ruth Is broke, Midas was a pauper and J. P. Morgan belongs In the bread line. Babe Ruth is understood to have given his wife a canlli fund of $25,000 to be cached by her as a rainy day fund.
