Playing the Field With Billy Evan?

’j HAT’S in a name? \J XT Several weeks ago 1 point- ” ed out that as far as a baseball umpire was concerned, It meant considerable. I made mention of the fact that ©ne of the umpires I once broke

in as an American Leaguer was named Colliflower. i it is obvious that an umpire with a | vegetable handle is immediately under a great liandi cap. Now cauliflower au gratin is a most appetizing dish, but when Colliflower, the umpire, made a decision that failed

Evans

to please the fans, he was greeted thusly: “Colliflower not au gratin but how rotten.” The if, I told how later this umpire shifted his name to James and was at once called Jesse and reminded that the horse alone was missing to complete the picture. I also called attention to the fact that my very good friend and capable umpire, Tom Crook, was to work in the Coast League and that he no doubt would often be reminded of his name. CLAIMS WORST NAME SHE above is merely to serve as an introduction to a letter recently received from a brother umpire of other days, Munce Pigue, a most unusual front and rear handle. He it is: “I read your article on what is in a name, relative to umpires, with a great deal of interest. “No doubt Colliflower paid the penalty for Ills vegetable handle and I am sure Tom Crook will often have his name taken in vain by the hard hearted fans, but I am positive no umpire ever had a tougher time than I did during the seasons of 1924-25.” At this point in the letter I became curious and glanced to the bottom of the page to get the connection and noted the very rare name of Pigue. GREETED W ITH GRUNTS ® ADMIT Coulliflower is a tough name for an umpire, while Crook is just as bad, but my handle has both of ’em beat. “My name is Pigue, pronounced as if the last two letter, ‘u’ and ’e,’ were not there. In other words, just plain PIG. “My appearance on the field during my connection with the Southern League was a signal for an outburst of hog calling and snorts that would have put the experts from Wisconsin to shame. "I heard more grunts In two years from the fans than a whole herd of razorbacks could make. “My name was too much of a handicap for my ability. However, they didn’t run me <iut. I held on until the ‘pres’ handed me a pink slip. “I may change my name sometime and get back into the game, but it won't be James. I like Irish names and may pick on one like Dinneen, Morarity, Moran, O’Day or Connolly. Those, fellows have been quite successful in the umpiring game.”

f Warming Up a —with—- _ The Indians 1 ■ ■■ - By Eddie Ash

S*— “IANFORD, Fla., March 28. The Indianas mingled with J the elite when they lopped off part of their spring training time at Sanford and went to West Palm Beach for five days. Originally they were scheduled for only three days at the fashionable resort, but they were urged to stay longer and Manager Betzel consented. It was the first time some of the Hoosiers glimpsed West Palm Beach and Palm Beach and they had their eyes opened by the scenery at the bathing beaches, yachts of the wealthy and fast motor boats. And the Tribe bosses received an Invitation to sound out West Palm Beach boosters with a view of making the resort city the 1927 spring training camp of the Indianapolis pastimers. The chief talking points for West Palm Beach as a training spot are Sunday baseball and a splendid playing field. THE TRIBE PASTIMERS GAZED /ROUND IN WONDER AND SENT PICTURE POST CA.RDS NORTH BY THE DOZEN. \ Oh, yes, the cost of living in the •“Palm Beaches” is higher than in Sanford. Someone put over a phoney long distance call on Trainer Pierce at 3 a. m. one morning recently and he fell for it. He was told Indianapolis was calling and didn't get wise to the fake until the practical joker asked him to verify or deny a rumor that "Big” Schemanske had the gout. Pitchers Bakos and Schemanske, Catcher Snyder, Eddie Sicking and two rookie infielders, Hunter and Comello, did not get to make the jaunt to West Palm Beach and they were forced to suffer through five days in quiet Sanford going through the motions of training while the main squad was basking in the big town. t NOT LONG AGO A REPORT SPR EA D THROUGHOUT THE NEGRO SECTION OF WEST PALM BEACH TO THE EFFECT "UNCLE SAM IS GOING BROKE.” AND MANY DARKIES MADE A RUSH TO DRAW OUT THEIR POSTAL /M INGS.

INDIANS BACK IN SANFORD; OPEN FOURTH WEEK OF TRAINING

8 V E T S ARE O N I. U. NINE Crimson Ball Club Leaves Wednesday for Southern Training Camp. Hu Times tsoeeinl BLOOMINGTON. Ind., March 28. —Eight veterans will be members of the Indiana University baseball squad which starts for Oxford, Miss., scene of the spring training camp, Wednesday. At least five new faces will be included In the southern expedition. The vets available are: Ray, Terre Haute, outfielder: Derr, Huntington, outfielder: Tobin, Middletown, Ohio, second base; Davis, Montpelier, third base; Correll, Bloomington, first base; Vojtech. Chicago, pitcher: Burke, Chicago, catcher, and Bucher, Huntington, catcher. New Men Have Chance Among the new men who have mode than an outside chance to go South with the diamond candidates are: Welts, La Porte, shortstop: Comer, MooresviUe, third base; Harrell, Indianapolis, third base; Beil and Caughall, Bloomington, pitchers; Paugli, Acton, pitcher; Hoopengardner, Ossian, pitcher: Laws, Milan, catcher, and Barlow, Cleveland. Ohio, outfielder. Coach Everett Dean has hopes of ironing the kinks out of the arms of the hurlers while under southern, skies. It is on the development of his twirling staff that rests the prospects for another Big Ten title contender. Three Hurlers Lost Three regular pitchers were lost from last season's team—Horde. Beckner and Salmi. With these three dependable slabbists gone, and with Vojtech as the only 1926 hurler left. Coach Dean faces a difficult task in whipping together a strong set of boxmen. Paugh has plenty of steam and appears to be the best of the new men. Hoopengardner has shown up well at times, while Caugshall has a nice curve. Five games have been scheduled with the Universty of Mississippi at Oxford on March 31, April 1,2, 6 and 7. A pair of practice games with Wisconsin is pending. Indiana will open the home schedule at Bloomington on April 12 when Do. Pauw invades the Crimson camp. HEAD FOR EAST Bu United Pres * CHICAGO, March 28.—Foreign Bicycle riders who competed here last week in the six-days’ bicycle race departed for the East, where they will prepare for the opening of the outdoors season. It is believed Franco Geoi'getti. one of the winners, will return to Italy until the fall. SCHEDULES GRID GAMES Du United Press CHICAGO, March 28.—Northwestern has scheduled football games with Dartmouth for 1928 and 1929, and Is attempting to arrange a similar series with Harvard, it was announced today. Chicago and Princeton have signed for an exchange of games in 1929 and 1930.

SEVERAL HOURS WITH UNCLE SAM SHOWING NO SIGNS OF WEAKENING. Many real estate offices “what used to be" in West Palm Beach are sad, silent reminders of the bursting of the Florida land boom. And out in the open spaces the wind blows over countless staked off lots, unoccupied, row upon row, and a million miles from nowhere. And street signs, but no streets, out in the jungles, ome down, some up, some leaning with the breeze. When the Indians went from Sanford to West Palm Beach they motored thirty miles overland In the dark, during a rainstorm, with sheets of water on the highways—and several of the party were in open cars. They had to go by auto from Sanford to New Smyrna to make rail connections. The condition of the roads made it look like an accident to at least one of the cars hardly could he avoided, because speed was necessary in order to make train connections. There were no smash-ups, fortunately, but there were a lot of ball players with headaches at the end of that trip. Navigating the turns put a strain on the nerves. CHICAGO, March 28.—Joe Mondt and Wayne Munn will meet here tonight in a heavyweight wrestling match.

School of 20 Boys Wins Title Bu iY/vt Sere ire ROUGE, La., March 28.—A high school of only 20-boy students produced the championship basketball team of Louisiana.

The players, who average around 16 years in age, are now training for the national prep tournament in Chicago. Last year they took third place in the consolation flight at Chicago. This year they hope to do better.

Tribesmen Slated to Close Camp Wednesday Night —Play Athletics. By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor SANFORD, Fla., March 28.—After spending five days in West Palm Beach, during which time four games were played, the Indians came back to Sanford today to open their fourth week of spring training. The Philadelphia Athletics, choice of many critics to annex the 1927 American League pennant, were to be battled by the Hooslers this afternoon in an exhibition staged under the auspices of the American Legion post here. Connie Mack, Philadelphia manager, planned to use his regular line-up against Bruno Betzel's outfit. The contest was given wide advertising and baseball fans of these parts anticipated viewing a gala event. The Indians are to practice Tuesday and play Buffalo Wednesday to close their Florida operations. The squad is slated to pull out of here Wednesday night for Birmingham. The Indians left West Palm Beach at an early hour this morning, went to New Smyrna by rail and then motored to Sanford. At West Palm Beach Sunday, the Tribe pastimers blanketed the police nine of that city, 11 to 0. Leverett allowed only three lilts in seven Innings and struck out seven. Swetonic hurled two innings and fanned three and held the cops hitless. This rookie is becoming a real sensation by his splendid action. The Indians bombarded the Palm Beach hurler and Manager Betzel was the only Hoosier to go hitless. Catcher Florence crashed a home run in the eighth. Kopf, Holke and Swetonlc got doubles. Kopf, veteran shortstop, blew himself to three hits. Moore. Palm Beach pitcher, struck out the side in the second stanza, getting Florence, Leverett and Miller. MATTHEWS TOOK A VACATION AND RALPH MILLER PLAYED CENTERFIELD. WARSTLER, ROOKIE SHORTSTOP. RATTED FOR LEVERETT IN THE EIGHTH AND PRODUCED A SINGLE. About 500 fans viewed the Sunday fray. Burwell was expected to start on the mound aeainst the Athletics this aftenioon. He went good against the Ciney Reds last Wednesday.

Skinner, ißight), Catcher George Harlan. By Norman E. Isaacs If pep and hustle are any sort of indications as to the quality of hall a team will put up. Manual Training High School this year will have a baseball team that will be a world-beater. Coach Albert M. Skinner, who undoubtedly is one of the best diamond mentors in the State, always did hanker after pep and spirit in his ball teams. He certainly has it this year. The South Siders are hustling through their practice sessions every day at Garfield Park with a snap , and dash that even to the merest j onlooker means business. None of ! the lads are loafing in the shade and } the young aspiring twirlers are not i standing around twiddling their! thumbs. Every one of the ninteen j players on the squad appears to be j on the go every minute of the time. | Which, after all. 'is an excellent j sign. Eager to Learn It isn’t a bad guess to say that j Manual is going to turn in some! very impressive performances this ] summer. Skinner knows how to j *oaeh baseball and he has a group that apparently Is eager to learn. I The Red and White coach has four j pitchers. Two appear to have the j goods while the other two are dis- j playing some very good signs of rounding into nice shape. Carl Rearick, a freshman, probably will be the ace of the squad. The youngster certainly can sling some nice ball. Ho has speed to burn, fine control and a good change of pace. Elmore Rice, another hurler. is nothing to he pasred over lightly. Rice has speed, control and a fast breaking j curve. He will fool many a batter j this summer. Dick Witte and Lester Murray, the * two other twisters, gradually are get- ! ting the kinks out of their arms and ! it wouldn't he a bit surprising to see ; either one deliver the goods this year. Good Catching Material Behind the bat Skinner is well fortified. George Harlan and Delbert Meyer both appear to be good receivers. Harlan very likely will bear the major part of the burden and upon him rests a good deal. George is a husky young man, played on the football and basketball teams, has a good arm and uses his head for something else besides a hatrack. Meyer is a snappy young fellow who has all the ear-marks of a clever catcher. The infield will have plenty of pep and snap. That much is assured. Every one of the members of the inner defense is rounding into good shape. It won’t be a stone-wall defense by any means but it is going to rate mighty good among the high school teams. Bill Britton and Bob Nield can handle the initial sack position very well. Ralph Elrod probably will have first call at second baes, with George May next in line. Both are smart players and will learn fast. Norman Beplay will be in the short field with Wilbur Becker perched over the hot corner. Beplay and Becker are well-set up youngsters and handle themselves in fine fashion. Outfield Looks Good There is plenty of outfield material. There are three in particular who in addition to qualifying as fly chasers, have the ability to poke the old pill to the outer extremities of the ball park. Which, as a rule, means base hits. And base hits often turn into runs. The three are Fred Henselmier, Leonard Harrison and Charley McCann. In addition, Alex Burris, Ray Owens, Jack Noll and Kenneth Slifer also appear to have some ability. Putting one and one together Skinner is going to have a winning ball team. It looks that way now, at any rate. 18-HOLE PLAYOFF MATCH Johnny Farrell, Johnny Golden Meet to Decide Second Place. Bu United Press ATLANTA, Ga„ March 28.—An eighteen-hole playoff match between Johnny Farrell and Johnny Golden to decide which gets the $4,000 for second place and which the $1,700 for third place, is all that remains today of the southern open golf champlohship tournament.

Rassmussen had 606 on games of 193, 182 and 231, while Weisman accounted for 656 on games of 200, 228 and 228. C. Wills and L. Hanna reached fourth place on a count of 1,181. Hanna was the heavy wood getter for this pair having 617 on games of 208, 223 and 186, James and Harkenrider tied for eighth place with a total of 1,164, The singles saw Indianapolis monopolize the top, the boys grabbing the five leading places.

The Silver Flash team dropped another notch when the North Cicero Recreation of Chicago rolled 2,954 to go into sixth place. We have not had any returns as yet from the local “Casey” bowlers who rolled in Detroit at the K. of C. national tourney over the week-end, but will wager that with the line-up sent the boys will bring home some of the bacon. In a five-game match rolled on the Capitol alleys Sunday afternoon the team of Pendergast and Faust defeated McNew and West, 1,963 to 1,939.

The Indianapolis Five was the winner of the team event with a total of 2,503 pins. Polk’s Best reached third place with 2,434. A. C.

RED SOXJ HURLING BETTER Boston Club Will Win ty More Games This M Season. ifll Billy Evans American League Umpire and NBA Service Sport* Writer NEW ORLEANS, March JB. Boston, first in baked beans and last in the American League. For some years that famous New England city has been noted for those two things. Once, Boston was as proud of its brand of baseball as baked beans, but those days are no more. Manager Bill Carrigan intends to show the baseball public in general and Boston in particular that the! Red Sox are in the American for other purposes than to complete the circuit and play outithel schedule as a matter of formality. " Won Two Pennants Once upon a time, many, many years ago. Bill Carrigan won two successive pennants and world cham- , pionships for Boston. While ho is ’ looking forward to no such happening, still he believes he will show the Boston public a much improved ball club when the season opens. The personnel of the Boston club this year will be much the same that finished in last place in 1926. It may finish there this season. However, Carrigan is of the opinion that it is at least fifteen, possibly twenty games games better than it proved last season. Then it won only forty-six ball games and finished but one point better than .300 in the standing. “After closely observing their stuff and actually catching them, I am sure that Harriss, Ruffing and Wiltse should win more than twentythree games between them,” says Bill. “Every American League player I have talked with says ‘How I hate to bat against Slim Harriss.’ I can appreciate why they feel that way. Yet he won only nine games last season. “Ruffing has as good a fast ball as I ever caught and a pretty fair curve. He ought to win fifteen ball games with most any kind of a club. Last season he turned in but six victories. “Wiltse, a southpaw, pitching his first year in the league, came through with eight wins, which isn’t bad. However, Wiltse has more stuff than several southpaws who won twice that many games.” That ended the interview. Better pitching is one reason whyj I look for the Red Sox to be a morel interesting ball club. Improved Defense A much improved second line of defense is another potent factor. The Sox have capable substitutes for every position. The catching is sure to be decidedly better. One who knows the value of catching can appreciate this. To briefly show what I mean by better reserve strength: should any , thing go wrong with Phil Todt at first, Jack Rotrock can fill In most capably. Wanninger is a capable understudy for Rigney at short, while Rogell can step in at second and take Regan’s place in a pinch. Rolling, a mighty likely looking chap from Mobile, is battling with Fred Haney for third. With two ball hawks like Jacobson and Flagstead in the outfield, there need be no worry on that score. Boston isn’t going to win any pennants nor trouble the first division, it may even finish last again, but, like Carrigan, I think it will win twenty more ball games than last year.
