INDIANS START PRACTICE FOR TWO GAMES WITH CHICAGO WHITE SOX

SHORTRIDGE ENTHUSIASTS NhOPE FOR SEPARATE GYM Idea Advanced for Building Suitable for basketball at Site of Mew North Side high School. Tentative plans outlined for the new Shortridge High School plant call forjtwo gymnasiums to be located in the building. The fact that two gyms are to be provided gives rise to the doubt that either will be of sufficient size to take care of crowds which attend feature net games.

BURNS IN SHOW ON APRIL 20 Fight Card at Tomlinson Hall Proves Flop—Dyer Has Slight Edge. In a fight program filled with gloom there was Just one ray of light Monday night at Tomlinson hall. That was when the announcer stated that the next card would be held on April 20 and that Tommy Burns would be ODe of the principals main go. so often the boxing fans have to get a good trimming. Monday night was the night. One main go was a joke and the other was slow and listless. Louie Lavell seems unable to use his right hand (the one that was broken some time ago). Eddie Dyer of Terre Haute had a slight edge on the Anderson scrapper, but It was so slight one could hardly notice It. Dyer outboxed Lavell, who In the last six rounds of the tenround affair might as well have been a one-armed man. Gibbons Goes Down Bobby Gibbons, who the promoters said was to give Sidney Glick one of the hardest battles In his career, could not have won in the amateur tourney held last week.* Otto Ray of the boxing commission, after the fans finally let v him talk on his second attempt, said he was in favor of withholding the purses ir. this bout. Nothing was said about those who arranged the match. Gibbons went down on one knee just as the bell rang in the first round and flopped for keeps in the third. At that Glick didn’t look as though he wlas hitting hard enough to break a pane of glass. It was said Sidney hurt his hand in the first frame. Substitute i/ose* All the preliminaries were twominute rounds. Jackie Stewart of was substituting for Kid |B|ning and lost to Royal Cox in Stewart was a mere lad. It w*aa a foot race in the latter r. unds. Hilly Meiyers of Ijoulsville knocked out Joe Roach In the fourth round of a scheduled six-round affair. The winner kept boring in and finally landed. Eddie Smith had the edge on Kid Rozelle in four rounds of slugging. Rip Wilson defeated Tuffy McOlynn in the third round by a technical K. O. CUF.

However, granting they will be of sufficient size, there remains a serious objection to gyms included inside of school buildings. At present Shortridge is handicapped in its athletic work by this situation. Practice of teams In the north side gym is a sort of catch-as-catch-can problem. Classes being conducted in other parts of the building must not be disturbed by noice. In the Shortridge main building containing the gymnasium is also located Caleb Mills Hull, a send public auditorium where meetings of varying natures are being held, and entertainments and concerts staged. When the hall is in use practice in the gym is taboo.

Separate Building The tendency Is noted In building operations over the State to erect separate buildings for athletics in connection with high schools. And these buildings are so constructed as to be of use in other branches of school work aside from athletics, the manual training departments usually being located therein. Now that Shortridge seems on the eve of realizing its hopes for anew commodieus plant, some enthusiasts are wondering why it would not be wise to consider erecting at once a gymnasium building on the grounds on the north side purchased for the new school. This could be made to correspond with the contemplated architectural scheme for the new Shortridge and could be used to good advantage until the old is finally abandoned, and pending construction of the new. Here’s a Trade The Shortridge athletic board owns half interest in four acres of ground near the new site of Butler Colege at Fairview. It is believed the board would be willing to deed over Its holdings to the school commissioners to help pay the cost of constructing a separate gymnasium on the Thirty-Fourth St. property. The time is not far oil when the school commissioners will be seeking a site foY a public school In the vicinity of the Shortridge holdings. Why not get together and talk business? Gymnasium buildings are of a nature, it seems, to permit of rapid construction, and it would be entirely possible to have one erected on the new Shortridge site in time for use next season. NURMI LAPS HIS FIELD Paavo Does Usual Stuff at Detroit— Hahn Beats Ray.

McKechnie Is Optimistic

Ry Bill MeKechnle Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates Pennants are not awarded to bidders or clalmers, but I do think the Pittsburgh club will be a contender for the championship from the first to the last games. The Pirates are a better ball club than they have been for four years, They are certainly the fastest club in the major leagues, and there 1b plenty of punch In the line-up. The Infield, I think, will he improved with Niehaus on first base and Moore on second base, and Graham ought to be a help In the outfield. Trainer was handicapped all last season by illness and Bighee was of little value because of sinus trouble, but they are both back in good shape now, Our pitching staff was not weakened by the trade with Chicago, as I feel suro Aldridge will win as many games as Cooper would have won for us. We have several promising young pitchers, and I believe the regulars we used last year will be just as good, if not better.

Manager Bush is desirous of putting in some stiff work the next few days as the Chicago White Sox will be here to battle the Tribesmen Saturday and Sunday. Indians and Sox cut plenty of winning capers in Dixieland, and Indianapolis fans are assured of seeing some interesting baseball the coming week-end. Florence In East Most of the Hoosiers are in fine physical condition. Catcher Florence was the only player to have serious trouble in the conditioning process and he was permitted to go to his home in the East to have his favorite specialist treat his Injured back. Sehmandt and Hodapp have had ailing arms, but these infielders feel confident the kinks will be well Ironed out within a few morp days. Manager Bush was well pleased with the southern training trip, and he Is proud of his ball club. He has been promised a pitcher by John McGraw and feels sure the Giant boss means to deliver a good hurler. Robertson Does Well The success of the team appears to hinge around the flinging staff, as all other departments are supplied with strong talent. Even the veteran catcher, Claude Robertson, obtained from Birmingham, has delivered beyond expectations, which is one more worry off the mind of Bush. Hank Schreiber went like a big league star down South, and his teamwork with Sirldng around the keystone sack was spectacular. ITnless Florence is cut adrift. Bush will not check out any of the present flock of Tribesmen until In May. Elmer Yoter has been showing versatile ability as a utility man, and young Thompson and De Loof, other rookies, have displayed enough prowess to warrant the Tribe boss retaining them for further trials. llai*d Work for Sohemanske Big Schemaske. pitcher, has uncorked good twirling occasionally, but needs much hard work to keep down weight. If fair weather holds out, there are going to be large crowds at the White Sox contests Saturday and Sunday. Baseball interest here has been increasing rapidly and Tribe followers are eager to get a look at their 1925 aggregation. And don’t forget opening day! The K. C. Blues will be here Tuesday, April 14, to act as the visiting attraction in the feature event.

NOT MANY ROOKIES IN REGULAR MAJOR BERTHS Cullop, Cochran and Wisner Among Prominent ‘Buys’ Who Disappoint When Training Grind Gets Tough. By Henry L. Farrell United Preet Staff Corrcepnndcnt NEW YORK, April 7.—Another crop of high priced rookies was shipped South six weeks ago and most of the crop is now being shipped back home for more development or for a permanent location in the minor leagues.

Practically every manager in the big leagues has decided what rookies he will keep, and more ha,ve gone than will remain for the next act of the knife in June. Following what must have been an agreement among the club owners to quit making the minor league magnates rich with piles of money for young players, there was only one very expensive rookie brought up, and he is still holding his Job. Groves Starts Well Connie Mack paid the Baltimore Orioles a huge pile for Lefty Groves, the strikeout king of the International League. Groves came up with a great reputation, but his real class will not be shown until midseason, when the old eyes get tuned up on him. Mack also has Cochran, a former college catcher, who cost him a lot of money, but he Is said to have been a great disappointment, although the Athletics manager says he Is satisfied. The most advertised bust of the season was Nick Cullop, the former Omaha star, who was bought by the New York Yankees for a fancy price. Cullop was heralded as the find of years when he first reported. He was a slugger and a hitter, a first baseman, an outfielder and a pitcher, and he was labeled as the righthand pinch hitter that had been sought for years by the Yankees. But he was released a few days ago to Atlanta. Dressen Has Rad Ann. Charlie Dressen, a third baseman, came to the Cincinnati Reds from the St. Paul American Association and he was one of the most valuable players in the minors. But he may be of little use, as he hurt! his right shoulder In the “little world’s series” last fall and hardly can get the ball across the diamond. The New York Giants were one of the few clubs to find a real valuable rookie. Frank Walker, a minor league owner and manager, who sold himself to McGraw, has been announced as a member of the team. The Giants found a bloomer, however, in Wisner, a rookie pitcher, who was heralded as a wow and who was released a few days ago. While other clubs were moaning the failure of other high priced rookies. the well-known Brooklyn Robins stepped in and found Cox, a young outfielder, who joined the club just as a ball player and who was able to take Tommy Griffith’s job away from him. Soccer League Winners Shamrocks beat the Thistles, 2 to 0, while the Rangers trimmed the Rovers, 4 to 0, in Sunday’s games of the Indianapolis Soccer League.
