Tribe Bids Plant City Adieu Tonight and Heads for Memphis—Reds Defeated—Cassel Released. By Eddie Ash times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 26.—After winning a spectacular exhibition struggle from Jack Hendricks’ Cincinnati Reds Wednesday, 5 to 2, Ownie Bush’s Indians were all set today to tangle with the Philly Nationals here in the wind-up game for the Tribe in Florida. The Hoosiers will depart for 'Memphis tonight and reach the destination Saturday morning. Contests will be played in Memphis, Little Rock and Jackson* Tenn., before the team heads for Indianapolis.

Manager Bush announced the first cut in the squad when he let pitcher Russell Cassel go. The Minneapolis youth failed to show much prowess as a twlrler and he will not accompany the Tribe to Memphis. Cassel displayed some form during the early * days of spring training, but recently he has been of little use other than to "shag" balls during practice. In other words, he is hopeless as a pitcher. Pitfher Dutch Henry, obtained from Brooklyn in the Petty deal, failed to report in Plant City Wednesday, but Petty followed orders and went to Clearwater to join the Dodgers. Manager Bash was on the lookout for his new twlrler today because he will need him during the heavy schedule next week. Carmen Hill and Bill Burwell were due to perform In the box for the, Indians this afternoon when the Bushmen faced the Phillies. Outfielder Clarke was granted permission to leave for Memphis ahead of the team and he was not present for the Tribe : final Florida fling today.

and Bush was very enthusiastic over the pitching of Schemanske and Fitzsimmons. Schemanske hurled the first five innings and only for a bad break he would have blanked the big leaguers. Fitzsimmons was In superb shape and allowed the Reds only two hits In four Innings. Schemanske apparently has cinched a Job on the Tribe staff and Fitzsimmons gives promise of-enjoying a successful season. Fitz appears more settled than ever before and is showing a better curve ball. Jack Hendricks used two of hla mainstays on the mound in an effort to defeat the Indians, Luque working five Innings and Sheehan three. Both Cincy hurlers were found for runs and the Cuban, Luque, was charged with the defeat. Schemanske received credit for the Tribe victory. Allen on First Ray Schmandt again was prevented from playing by a weak throwing arm and Outfielder Pug Allen occupied the first station for the Indians. Pug did & fair job, but It was his slowness in going ddwn after Caveney’s drive in the fourth inning that enabled the Reds to score their two runs. Reds were on second and third, with two down, when Caveney shot a fast grounder to Allen's right. Pug got in front of the ball, but It slapped his glove down too late to block the grounder and the drive went for a single and scored two men. The Indians responded quickly and chased across three markers in their half of the fourth stanza on three hits, a walk and a double-steal. The doublesteal, with Allen on the scoring end, proved to be the winning run. The Tribe scored a fourth run in the seventh and a fifth marker in the eighth. Hodapp and Allen each banged out two safeties, one of Allen’s blows being good for two bases. The Indians outbatted the big loaguers, nine to seven, and playej superb allrpund baseball. It was a red hot contest and the Plant City fans rooted like the Tribe followers in Indianapolis. Eddie Slcking’s fielding around second base was marvelous, and he accepted nine chances. It was an errorless game and feature plays were numerous. Strong Club Eddie Roush, captain of the Reds-, was not present; otherwise Jack Hendricks placed a strong club in the field. Zitzmann, outfielder, topped the big leaguers in hitting with two singles and a double. Both teams meant business and this feeling accounted for some dashing playing. In frying to make a catch of a foul, catcher Krueger of the Indians brought a gasp from the crowd by hurdling the Cincy bench. He failed to reach the ball, but convinced the fans they were looking at a real struggle. , The Indians have defeated Cleveland twice. Giants once, Reds once, Buffalo once and lost to Washington and the Philly Nationals. Five victories in seven starts represents an . achievement worth shouting over. Jack Hendricks, Cincy manager, and the former pilot of the Indians, said Wednesday that Ownie Bush possesses a fine appearing ball club that probably will be in the pennant running from the start provided the pitching staff Is bolstered. The “If" concerning the hurling staff is a serious matter. No one knows how well Dutch Henry will perform in the American Association and therefore one more pitcher of known skill pvobably will have to be landed. De LooPs Case Maurice De Loof, rookie In fielder and pitcher, will be taken north and farmed out to a class B league. Manager Bush said today. Joe Engel, Washington scout, witnessed the game here Wednesday. It was the third Indian exhibition he has attended this month. The chances are he is gazing at Johnnie Hodapp. Jake Northrop and Spud Campbell, former Indians, were visitors at Tribe headquarters Wednesday night. Joe Stahr, Indianapolis business man, Is here with Mrs. Stahr, and they will go to Memphis with the baseball party. “Walk Up a Flight and Save the Difference ** WEAR RUBENS CLOTHES Now At 40 W.
