ANFORD, Fla., March 17. Manager Betzel and Owner i___J Smith of the Indians will do things differently to some extent next year in mapping out spring training plans. If the exhibition schedule begins early, like this spring, pitchers and catchers will be sent South one week in advance of the main squad. And official reportting day will mean reporting day for all players. ,_The squad was handicapped in early work this March by player straggling in day by day. Some players were as late as eight days arriving. Ferd Schupp’s Indianapolis acquaintances will be surprised to learn he worked the past winter and crawled from between the sheets at 6 a. ni. daily. He tolled in the oil fields of California. At least that’s Ferd’s story. When Schupp got that off his chest someone remarked: “If that be true the supposition is you intend to make the baseball season your vacation." SCHEMANSKE, SICKING AND SCHUPP—S. S. S. THE TRIPLES BOYS GOT UP AT 4 O’CLOCK ONE MORNING RECENTLY TO GO FISHING. *YOU CAN WIN A BET OFF ME," OWNER SMITH SAID, “IF THEIR PARENTS BELIEVE THAT ONE." The Tribe president taxied to Benson Springs, fourteen miles around Lake Monroe, every day for a week to get sulphur water before he learned there was a sulphur well in the field across from the Tribe Hotel. t A baseball “bug” in Indianapolis wrote Manager Betzel and advised him to make a first baseman out of Pitcher Burweil. “Just another MOTION PICTURES

one for the book,” Bruno commented. Catcher Graham Thomas, big and fat, hails from old Vi P. I. (Virginia Polytechnic Institute). Thomas Is the largest man on the Indian roster and he rooms with Shorty Kugelman, smallest player in camp. Thomas played in a league last summer that wasn’t even classified. “I’m fresh from the brush,” says Tommy. 0 THOM AS’ CHUBBY FACE, AFTER HE WORKED OUT A FEW DAYS, HAD THE APPEARANCE OF A FULL MOON. HIS EATING HOBBY IS PIE. Thomas showed up in camp with anew glove much too small for his large hand. And when the ball struck the glove the pellet bounced out and back to the pitcher. “Something new in backstops,” a wise cracker shouted. Manager Betzel tells of an amusing incident that occurred when lie was with the Indians about ten years ago. The club was in Louisville and Bruno was rooming with Cy Falkenberg. They were awakened one night by a noise in their room. Bruno leaped out of bed and flashed on the lights. One of Cy’s socks was dashing around the room. A large rat was in it. Bruno and Cy immediately hung their clothes on the chandeliers. No Sunday movies in Sanford. Which makes it tough on the Tribe flickering film hounds.

Police, Fire Chiefs Visit Huge Arena —Final 0. K. Expected. By Dick Miller Everything is thought to be in readiness for the opening toss-up of a little round basketball at 9 o’clock Friday morning at the Exposition building, Indiana State fairground, which will officially start the sixteen annual State high school tournament. Two laps of the greatest basketball tournament elimination tourney in the world already have been played. From an original starting field of 731 teams the list has dwindled down to a scant sixteen, one of whom will remain on top of the throne Saturday night. Thirteen thousand people will be on hand at each performance to watch the gladiators in the final hardwood struggles. The final O. K. was expected to be put on the arena today. Police Chief Claude F. Johnson, Fire Chief Jesse A. Hutsell and Major of Police Lewis L. Johnson were to visit the huge indoor stadium, the home of a million splinters, and look it over. Look Building Over It seems that the State fire marshal, city fire prevention chief, city building inspector and numerous others already have looked the arena over. The local men in charge of the tournament are K. V. Ammerman, Board Ripple high school, construction; Simon P. Roache, Sh(/rtridge high school, press and programs; Russell Clunie, Manual Training high school, and Fred R. Gorman, Arsenal Technical high school, housing of visiting teams, and C. M. Sharp, general manager. The State High School Athletic Association and A. L. Trester and his Board of Control supervise all the works,- however. When it comes to telling Gorman, Ammerman and Roache about this tournament proposition one is striking a hard job. They have been running the affair for years. But, you can tell them it is not the proper kind of building for a gymnasium and they admit it. No Pass-Out Checks These are a few of the things that are going to be done at the tournament that have not been done in the past; There wilj be no pass-out checks. While a session of games are going on no one will be permitted to leave the building and pass back In without a ticket except in an emergency. Ammerman stated that he personally will take care of any emergency. Four police women have been assigned to the tourney by Rachel Schwier and Chief Johnson. Realizing the women’s rest room at the south end of the building is inadequate, the association has secured the use of the Coliseum and Women’s Building rest rooms. The police women will take care of directing the women about. Smoking has been banned, at least for the girls under 18. Mrs. Schwier says It is juvenile delinquency. The stands will be cleared after each session. Lunch stands and other eating facilities are in the north end. Ammerman has supplied a large number of park benches for rest. Providing the police and (fro heads looked the thing over today with a kind heart and slapped on the O. K. everything is in readiness for the opening gun at 9. GRID STAR INJURED ANNAPOLIS, March 17—Ned Hannegan, Washington, D.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CITY BOWLING GOSSIP ' ■■■ By Lefty Lee ■ ■ 1

The Capitol No. 1 League produced two new records for the season in Wednesday night’s play. The ftfst was the 1,140 game of the EmRoe team rolled In their first game and the 761 game of the Silver Flash. The 1,140 is new high game for the loop and the 761 is low. There is a strong suspicion that the Silver Flash are a bunch of “crap shooters’’ for after starting with a 7-00 they came back with an 1,100. \ The Em-Roes with 3,092 for their three games secured on counts of 1,140, 1,031 and 920. Six games were better than 1,000 and two of these over the 1,100 mark. Two out of three games ruled the Robbins Body, Em-Roe, Werbe-Meis-sen and Silver Flash taking the 3-F-Coffee, Macott, H. E. Schmitt and Coca Cola over this route. Nine of the boys topped “600,” “Chuck” Schott leading the field with games of 230, 245 and 179 for a total of 654. Rassmussen had 647, C. Meyer’s, 618; McNew, 602; Liebtag, 607; Bowen, 619; E. Schott, 630; Sargent, 639, and Haisleys, 615. Forty-five games of “200” or better were turned in, the 277 of Roy Haisleys being the 3-F-Coffee winner. Charlie Liebtag was the most consistent performer having games of 202, 203 and 202. Charlie says he is tuning up for the big show. Russ Smith has completed arrangements for a special car to leave Indianapolis at noon Saturday for 'Peoria. All the plans for the entertainment of the local bowlers have been taken care of on this train. On the return trip Monday night a special sleeper will leave Peoria at 8:30 p. m. The Passenger Traffic boys of Louisville will arrive, four teams strong, Sunday, when they will bowl the local Passenger Traffic boys at the Elks Club alleys. The game will start at 1:30 p. m. This, as far as we know, will be the only match game in the city, as most of the locals will be in Peoria over the week-end. The “Casey” boys held their weekly session at the Century alleys Wednesday night. The Ninas, La Salle and Santa Maria were three time winners over the Marquettes, Calumets and Pintae,

while the Columbians were downing the Isabellas two out of three. Vanier with games of 163, 243, and 235, for a total of 641, was high gun for the night. Des Jean also passed the “600” mark with games of 187, 242 and 202, totalling 631. The La Salle team, with a count of 1,010, had high game of the night. The Bankers Special, Marlon County and American Central teams won two out of three from the Continental National, Farmers Trust and Indiana National in the Bankers League games on the Central alleys, while the City Trust continued Its fast pace and won all three from Fletcher Savings and Trust. Harry Hurt, with games of 203, 213 and 197 for a total of 613 was the leading pin-spiller for the night. GYM MEET Indlana-Kentucky A. A. U. Championships on Saturday. The Indlana-Kentucky gymnastic championships will be held Saturday evening at the Indianapolis Turnverein, E. Michigan St. and Massachusetts Ave. Clubs which have entered teams are the South Side Turners, Indianapolis Turners, Louisville Turners, Central (Evansville) Turners, Ft. Wayne Turners. Purdue University and N. A. G. U. also have entered squads. In addition to the gymnastic events there will be a fencing meet. Teams are entered from the Indianapolis Athletic Club, N, A. G.

Jack Sherry, Junior heavyweight, suffered spinal injury, fractured rib and possible internal injuries when he was tossed from the ring Wednesday night by John Pesek, Junior heavyweight wrestling champion. Sherry hit headfirst on the platform, somersaulted and landed headfirst on the floor eight feet below. Pesek retained the championship, but was disqualified from future bouts.

SHE stage is set. The audience is ready. The curtain goes up at 9 o’clock Friday morning. Less than 24 hours. The sixteen teams that have survived the two preliminary rounds are ready for the final battle. They come from the north, south, east and west. At the start of play Saturday morning eight survivors will remain. Saturday afternoon there will be but four, and Saturday evening the two finalists will get together to decide the basketball supremacy of the greatest basketball state in the United States. The curtain will drop, interest will wane and the fickle sport world will turn its attention to the baseball diamond, golf links and cinder track. There will be thirteen thousand spectators at eacli performance, seventy-eight thousand in all, and more than twice that many “listening In” as it comes over the air from the Exposition Building. Blythe Q. Hendricks will broadcast every game of the meet for The Times over WFBM, Indianapolis Power and Light Cos. J. E. McDonald, an ardent Shelbyville fan, apparently did not relish our statement in connection wit/i Logansport and Waldron the other day. J. E. M. says, “I am afraid you do not have the correct ’dope’ on the Waldron team. *(1) Any team that can defeat both Shelbyville and Franklin during tournament play, is entitled to be classified among the sixteen best in the State. (2) A-t Cincinnati, Waldron practically had Cliff Well's ’B’ team annihilated until the last few minutes of play when the breaks of the game fell to Jogansport. Furthermore I mtlcedthat Wells played part of this second team during the regional. (3) You will not find a more gentlemanly and cleaner group of players in Indiana than Jills Waldron team.” In answer we say: (1) Absolutely correct. (2) Annihilated? The game ended 26-25, Logansport. We fail to comprehend any form of slaughter or annihilation about that. To the latter part of No. 2 we presume Cliff probably promoted a few of the boys to higher standing in the ranks. They deserved it, did they not? (3) Admitted. By the by, we don’t recall ever bringing that into tb* matter anyway.

A certain gentleman who parades under the name of Lefty Lee, was, for a while, willing to stake millions (of ten-pins we suppose), that Froebel of Gary would win the State title. We haven’t even heard a toot out of him lately. Another very knowing young man has a bee in his bonnet that the winner of the tourney will be a dark horse. Stands firm on that, too. He'd like to be an “I told you so” guyAn all-Westerii College basketball seieetkm published in several Illinois and Indiana papers place two Notre Dame men on tiie first team and two on the second. Johnny Nyikos, Irish captain is placed at the center position on the first with Louis Conroy at backguard. Harrigan and Oosterhann were plaeed at the forward positions while McConnell of lowa, was assigned to floor guard. . Many a coach would stand on ids head for three-quarters of an hour at the corner of Meridian and Washington Streets to have a team like that wished on to him. And not a soul would blame Idm.
