Southern Training Trip Comes to End This Week—Practice at Washington Park Scheduled Next Tuesday. By Eddie Ash. Times Snorts Editor LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 4.—The week-end will bring to a close the 1925 Southern training trip of Ownie Bush’s Indians, and Monday will see most of the athletes back in Indianapolis ready to resume practice Tuesday morning at ll o'clock. A few of the boys have been granted leave of absence for two day when the squad reaches the north. The Tribe squad was divided today, one section, under Ernie Krueger, playing at
.T&ekson, Tenn., and another section, under Ownie Bush, staying in Little Rock to meet the Travelers. The stronger of the two outfits was at Jackson. Bush has a misfit aggregation to battle Little Rock litre today and at Hot Springs Sunday. and the chances are his crew is in for a couple of beatings. Bush has assigned himself to cover third base. This party of Indians will arrive home Monday afternon about 3 o'clock. The squad remaining here is comprised of the following: Bush. Rehg, Schreiber, Schinandt. Robertson. De Igiof, Burwell, Niles, Thompson and Henry. Only Nino I>eft Burwell cuts out for St. Louis tonight, which will mean only nine pin vers available for the Sunday exhibition at Hot Springs. With tht other squad at Jackson are: Krueger, Alien, Sicking. Ifodapp. Voter, Clarke, Christenbury. Fitzsimmons. Hill, Schemanske, Trainer Pierce, Owner Smith and Secretary Hayward Smith. George Kirkhoff of Indianapolis, is acting as secretary of the party of Indians at Little Rock today and at Hot Springs Sunday. The Indianapolis-Little Rook contest scheduled here Friday was called off on account of wet grounds. More rain fell Friday night and there was some doubt about the teams performing today. Manager Bush is convinced now that John McGraw is sincere in hiR promise to give Indianapolis a pitcher capable of winning in the American Association and the pilot believes McGraw will deliver the liurler within two weeks. Owner Smith and Bush conferred with McGraw in Memphis Thursday night. Thompson Gets C hance Bush said today ho would retain John Thompson, the Argos, Ind., youthful pitcher, as long as possible, which means May 16. Then if the big fellow still is unable to display American Association skill he will be farmed out to a club in lower classification. Bush js of the opinion Thompson w’ill make a winning pitcher after a season out in the hushes, provided he keeps his weight down. Maurice De Loof will be given the same chance as Thompson and will he held with the Indians until the club is forced to get within the player limit. Catcher Florence probably will he turned back to the New York Giants. His injured hack shows little improvement, oven with the long rest he has had. For the time being, therefore, and perhaps all season. Claude Robertson will be second catcher to Ernie Kreuegr. The crippled hand of Pitcher Ed Niles is growing stronger gradually, but Bush is not figuring on much assistance from Niles until about on* month hence. Niles is more confident about the matter than Bush and belieVes he will be ready in two weeks. Niles’ throwing hand was weakened by an operation on the elbow. No Speed Bal! Pitcher Dutch Henry does not own a speed ball like Jess Petty, and how he will perform in the American Association remains to be seen. Up to the present he has not uncovered enough speed to make batters timid about taking "toe holds.” A good curve and change of paco may gel him over, however. With the exception of quantity pitching, the Indians look very good, and if John McGraw comes through, as per promise, the team is sure to play a prominent part in the pennant scramble. •
Nurmi and Other European Stars Start Upheaval Which Smashes Many World Records —Ray Comes Back. Bu Time Special NEW OKK, April 4.—Now that Paavo Nurmi has left New \ ork for a tour of the country, and Ugo Frigerio, the Italian walker, has vindicated himself at 10,000 meters, it is possible to check up performances of the greatest indoor track season ever entered on the record books.
Three Europeans, Nurmi, Willie Ritola and Frigerio, made most of the new world records, which came In such bewildering numbers that the A. A. U.’s bookkeepers have not yet caught up with their work. But Joie Ray, America's most colorful track man, and one of the best as well, caught his stride before the season was over and struggled up forward to his wonted position among the foremost leggers In the world. Eighty “Records” Fall All told, about eighty so-called world’s records were registered In all branches of Indoor athletics during the winter season, but the majority of them were achieved at odd or nonstandard distances, and will merely La set down as “noteworthy performances” lr, the books. Most of these feats were done on the track, rather than over the Jumps, and most of the track records were made over the middle distances. Ray saw Nurmi gradually and relentlessly domoitsh all of his nine world records, which he used to think would stand forever. But he came along In mid-March and excelled everything he had ever done by equalling Nurmi’c new Ihdoor record for the mile, four minuses 12

Tommy Slips Into City and Tests Out Car at Speedway—“ Just Working Out a Few Ideas.” If mystery makes the world move swifter, there will be speed galore in the Thirteenth International 500-piilc race which will be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 90. For Tommy Milton, twice winner of the race and the only driver ever to accomplish the feat, has just completed a series of fseeretive tests and drives over the Indianapolis track and hidd himself on to California to incorporate the results of his early season work ip the car he is expected to drive here in May.
uN left Indianapolis today. MiPon came to Indianapolis di-1 rect from Miami Beach, Fla., where ! with ten other racing drivers he competed in a motor boat regatta, j in which he was second in points scored over a two-day program. Almost before the winter's deposit •>t snow and ice had begqn to ooze its way from between the brick cracks under the hot poultice of a spring sun, Milton began to wheel his speed creation about the Indianapolis track. * On Back Stretch Days before Milton s arrival two mechanics arrived here and had his car ready for its master’s speeding touch. The tests moved off with clockwork precision, all stops bein* made on the back stretch, where whatever adjustments were being made on the car were carried on behind a gaze-shielding array of canvas. Just what Milton was attempting to prove could not be ascertained, but when the tests were completed and he was ready' to leave there was a broad smile on his face. “Nothing at AH” "It’s nothing fit all." he said, "just W'orking out a few ideas that were in the back of my head as a result of my many tours over the Indianapolis track. I wanted to make sure about them before I put them in my car.l’ And that’s all the Information he would give about the car. though he was talkative about how anxious all of the drivers, who are wintering in California, are to coins on to lndiana)>olis to prepare for the course. i Handicappers and stop watch experts who attempted to sleuth Milton’s track movements unsuccessfully were sure of only one thing—that for four days he drove his car 100 miles at each sitting at an average speed well above the 100 miles an hour mark.

It's getting better every minute in this big amateur mauling event, and tonight’s crowd should test the capacity of the 1. A. C. gym. Some of the boys lacked great skill, but they all had fighting hearts and gave their best. Real class Is beginning to show —and count—-as the finals are neared in the different elksaes. Two Indiana University entrants went down to defeat, fighting hard; Gary and Culver, always popular with the local fans are beginning to hit rougher going, while the Hoosier and South Hide Turner ringsters are trying desperately for local supremacy. Tito big boys in the heavier classes are stepping around like bantams, and the little fellows are sure making It snappy every second. And, on top of all this, the clean boxing and sportsmanship of the amateur sluggers is a real delight.
