Such Is Opinion of Expert —British Writers Misinformed. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent % NEW YORK, March 10. —Attention of American athletics officials has been called to the comment of British writers that the political differences between the Amateur Athletiq Union and the National Collegiate Athletic Association will cause the United States to lose an Olympic team championship for the first time in the 1928 Amsterdam game3. The motive has not been misunderstood in this country. American officials know that I,he comment not promptedtHyy unfriendly spirit, but was the result of misinformation and a misunderstanding of local conditions. The National Collegiate Athletic Association has withdrawn its moral and physical support from the American Olympic committee, leaving the organization and management of the American team under the conti'ol of the A. A. U. That will have at the most, only a slight bearing on the organization and management of the team. The A. A. U. made mistakes in Antwerp and in Paris, but it is a practical instead of a theoretical body, and it will find the means of organizing and sending a team to Amsterdam, and that team will be the strongest that can be recruited. The withdrawal W the National Collegiate Association meant only that no names of its members would appear on the committees and that it would not help to finance the team. It certainly does not mean that any athlete qualified to make the team will stay at home because the A. A. U. happens to be the boss. The organization of athletes is so perfect in this country and it is so widely followed in every section of the country that European nations look upon it as a machine that needs only a turn of the crank to put out a championship team. The pioney, they also think, grows on trees so that American Olympic athletes can live like dukes when they go abroad. Because of the vast field for the production of athletes and the singular way in which unknown youngsters pop up from nowhere, the American officials can do little but wait until the sectional and final trials immediately preceding the date of departure to select the athletes who are the best at that particular time. The real problem facing the executives is to get the money to finance comfortable transportation and maintenance for the biggest team entered into the games.

HUGGINS STANDS PAT ON NEW YORK YANKEE CLUB 1 ' Diminutive Pilot of American League Champs Satisfied With Team—Hopes Rest on Pitching.

v By Billy Evans American League Umpire and NEA Service Sports Expert ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., March 10. —Manager Miller Huggins of the New York Yankees wort a pennant in 1926 with a ball club that few of the critics conceded even an outside chance. # Therefore, it is not at all strange

INDIANS DOWN REDS LAKELAND, Fla. Cleveland Indians evened the spring training series with the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday by copping an eleveninning contest, 6 to 5, Fonseca, former Reds infielder, drove in the winning run for the Indians. “STIFFY” ON JOB BRADENTON, Fla—“ Stuffy” MeInnis, new manager of the Phillies, took his first workout with the squad Wednesday. With "Stuffy" holding down first base, the infield took on an impressive appearance find is ready for today’s exhibition game with the Washington Senators. “PEEWEE” BACK IN FOLD NEW ORLEANS, La. —“Peewec” Wanninger, Red Sox shortstop, who came to the majors from St. Paul, joined the fold Wednesday and announced he was storry he ever had tried to become a holdout. No attention had been paid by tacit Bill Carrigan to Wanninger’a ah sence, and the youngster was cl yiously glad to get his signs) t l ' on a contract. HUDKINS REFUSES FORFEIT IS u United Press LOS ANGELES. March 10.—A Hudkins. Nebraska middleweight, refused to accept the $3,000 forfei; posted by Bert Colima, Mexican, whom he defeated Tuesday. Colima failed to make the agreed weight, but Hudkins turned down the money, saying he never accepted forfeits. READY FOR SCRAP CHICAGO, March 10.—Both .Toe Simonich, Butte.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

that Miller Huggins is or the opinion that he has a pretty good ball club. He has. . Asa matter of fact, the wee pilot of the Yanks is so well satisfied with his champs that he intends to stand pat on his line-up. It probably will be the only major league ball club to start the 1927 season with exactly the same line-up as finished last year’s race. One new face is certain to break into the box scores at various times during the season, that of Catcher John Grabowski. I. am positive his ability is such that Manager Huggins will give him a chance to share part of the catching burden. The infield will be composed of Gelirig at first, Lazzeri at second, Koenig at short and Dugan at third. Experts Mistaken The experts who have already consigned Koenig to the bench are sure to be mistaken. At this writ-

ing there is no chance for any one to displace him. Koenig played brilliantly’ as well as erratically in the world series. Those who do not figure him to start are thinking only of his poor play, forgetting entirely many of his sensational performances. Mark Koenig has the ability to become one of the greatest short stops in the game. Confidence and poise will make him such. The big chance is just ahead for him. The outfield will be Meusel, Combs and Ruth, quite some combination. In starting the season with the same line-up of last year, Manager Huggins faces one most important situation which bears on his pitching. Will the veterans who performed so nobly last season continue to pitch Qonsistenly good baseball? That remains to be answered. It Is asking considerable. There is a possibility of a slump in pitching on the part of the veterans. If such is the case, Manager Huggins must look to some of his recruits to overcome this handicap. .So from any angle, the smart Mr. Huggins Is justified in standing pat with the hope that improved battery work will make the Y'ankees all the stronger, bringing him another pennant.

In lieu of Walter Mueller, who retired from baseball after being made a part of the Carmen Hill deal. “Mueller is bothered by an old injury and we may benefit by his retirement,” Manager Betzel remarked, “I know Ownie Bush will extend himself to help us and send the best man among his surplus.” Wednesday was a hard day in the Tribe camp. Bruno Betzel sent the boys through the longest drill of the week and he was the last pastimer to leave the field. Pitcher Jack Wisner, with Bob Snyder catching him, cut loose with an assortment of stuff. They made a fine looking battery. Wisner declared he is pointing himself to a big season and win his way back to the “big show.” “Wabash Joe” Wyatt feels certain he’ll be the regular Tribe left fielder. He so hard Wednesday, Manager Betzel ordered him to the showers. The Hoosier- sycamore made some dandy running catches in the outfield and banked the ball squarely during batting practice. Pitcher Bakos and Swetonic made good impressions Wednesday. They are rookies. Catcher Thomas’ stock gained slightly. Shortstop Comello again pleased Manager Betzel. Shortstop Warstler showed well in the field, but not at bat. ReU Russell and Taul Florence took turns at chasing the outfield “shaggers” with long drives, Walter Holke also pounded Ihe ball to distant parts. International News Reel movie men were in Sanford YVednesday, and they took a number of “shots” of the Indians. YValter Hickman, dramatic critic of The Times, will inform you if Indianapolis movie houses get the Tribe action views. Wednesday made it three days in a row for good baseball weather. Paul Florence, former Georgetown University football captain, coaxed Buck Schemanske to try some gridiron exercises and Buck wound up on the short end of the drill. Manager Betzel has decided the “skinned” part on the infield at Municipal Park is too much like cement and he has ordered it sprinkled and raked more. Pitcher' I-ieverett seems to be carrying unneeded poundage. Bill Burwell, still unsigned, romped In the outfield Wednesday and was punished by the burning sun.
