Sweetser will play in the amateurpro matches which will precede the tournament and may tee off with the others March 23.

SHADE WINS California Middleweight Stops Herman in Chicago. By United Press CHICAGO, March IS.—The attempt of Dave Shade, California middleweight, to ascend to the championship was one step farther along today following his knockout of Tillie “Kid” Herman Thursday night. Shade proved without doubt that lie had overcome the effects of pneumonia which forced him out of fighting for more than a year. Starting in the first round with his catlike tactics of weaving back and fourth, shooting hard lefts and rights, Shade pummeled Herman through every round. Herman was in distress in the second round and in the next four rounds Herman took one of the worst beatings of his life. When the seventh round was called Herman failed to respond and Shade was awarded the fight on a technical knockout. IN FINALS Tilden, Lott in Finals of Southeastern Meet.

Indian Boss to Visit McGraw Over Coming WeekEnd. By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor SANFORD, Fla., March 18.—In response to a wire from John McGraw, Owner Smith of the Indians will leave nford over the week-end to visit wit- the boss of the Giants at St. Augu. he. Smith’s trip probably will mea the addition of an outfielder to tne Tribe roster. McGraw has a number of fly chasers and has promised to let the Indians have one, Pittsburgh also wants to line up with Indianapolis for business purposes and the Pirates say they will do their best to give the Indians assistance. “The Tribe will be a stronger ball club eventually,” Smith remarked today, “because we are going to get that batting strength that Indianapolis fans know we need." The pitching of Ferd Schupp and Steve Swetonic and the hitting of Larry Ivopf featured the St. Patrick’s day spring training drill of the Indians. Schupp is going about his work in a serious manner this spring and has turned over anew leaf. He was blowing the ball over the plate with sizzling speed Thursday and Manager Betzel passed tlie opinion that Schupp will be the best southpaw in the American Association if he lives up to his promises to respect training rules. Schupp has confided to sevei-al of his mates that he is determined to earn another chance in the majors. He said: “I have cheated myself out of plenty of money by taking baseball as an outing and this year I intend to do my level best to win twenty games for Indianapolis and try to gain my way back tp a big league club.” It is known John McGraw and Jack Hendricks are willing to take a chance with Ferd If he proves reliable for Indianapolis this season. Donie Bush is another major manager who likes Schupp when he is right. Steve Swetonic, Pittsbui-gh University graduate, is becoming solid with the Tribe officials by hfs display of good action on the mound. He is a right-hander who conducts himself on the diamond in a manner that indicates he knows what it’s all about. Kopf showed much polish in Thursday’s practice and crashed the ball for some line drives during batting drill. The veteran shortstop is looking better every day. Harry Warstler, sensational rookie shortfield candidate, was bothered by a sore arm Thursday. His fielding was high class, however. Burwell, Florence and Sicking are still on the holdout list, but are working out daily. Milwaukee has balked on the Tribe’s offer of Sicking for a capable southpaw pitcher, but a deal between the two clubs involving the former Hoosier captain still hangs fire. The release of Graham Thomas, rookie catcher from Virginia has been postponed. Manager Betzel has decided to keep the huge backstop in camp for a few more days In order to help get the pitchers in shape. One of the Tribe catchers, Bob Snyder, has a sore arm and is unable to do much exercising, This fact gives Thomas another lease on spring training free board. Thomas and Outfielder Rice will be the first rookies cut adrift, according to Betzel. Thursday was the hottest day of spring in Sanford and the Tribe pas timers got a good boiling out.

many who think that John McGraw wants him to manage the club when he retires. It is one of the surest Indications of spring to hear that McGraw is starting his last season with the Giants but it’s Jtound to come because some season must be his last and there are reasons to believe that ha Is getting ready to get out of active participation in field duties of the club. Twenty-fifth Season 'McGraw is starting his twentyfifth season as manager of the Giants and there were Indications last year that he was tiring of handling a pennant contender or that he was cracking under the strain. From sources close to the club it was known that McGraw had Frank Frisch in mind as a possible successor put when Frisch missed a couple of signals last year and blew some games, McGraw is said to have mark him off as a possibility. He not only removed lilm from the list of candidates but he traded him away to tlie Bt. Louis Cardinals. Hornsby is said to be drawing a salary of $40,000 and while that certainly Is not a sum to be sneezed at he signed with such alacrity that there were reasons to believe that he had been given other Inducements to come to terms with his new env i ployers. Before McGraw reported to the Sarasota training camp, Hornsby i assumed his duties as captain witli so much authority that he actually was In charge of the camp and the other players played right along wltjx him. Some of the critics have said that the St. Louis Cardinals made Hornsby successful as a manager and that he had very little to do with the management of the club but the results do not bear out this contention. If McGraw should win the pennant this year and Hornsby lives up to expectations, it would be no surprise If the Giant manager retires. He has a great ambition to celebrate his silver jubilee with a pennant and after that there would be very little left for him in the way of glory. He always has taken pride in building pennant winners and most of his success has been achieved by his skill in tearing down clubs and rebuilding them. For years he has been directing every play and ordering pearly every ball pitched, and that is some job. He has a good ball club this year and if he allows Hornsby to share some of the responsibility of manage rnent, the strain will not be nearly so severe on him. FASTEST CHESS GAME
