THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

—Looking ’Em Over — WITH EDDIE ASH

With one deal of importance completed, James A. Perry, owner of the home-town Indians, is taking a “breather” period after attendin two baseball powwows, before again

tackling the job of rejuvenating the local line-up. The sessions in Dallas and New York were Perry’s first experience in the “stove league” circuit and the new Tribe boss made many acquaintances in the iiamond realm. The naring of Pitcher 7de and Catcher ’pencer from Pitts- , urgh will be followed by other purchases or trades

that will excite local fandom and add power to the 1928 Hoosier outfit. Perry, Manager Betzel and Secretary Clauer are bent on building up a first division club at once instead of doing it gradually. Young talent will be given thorough attention, of course, but the Tribe officials are smart enough to know there’s nothing certain about youngsters producing. And just at present the team bosses are bearing aowh in their efforts to grab off a first sacker, second sacker and outfielder of Class AA quality. And Perry won’t have any trouble finding room for new men. He asked for waivers and obtained said waivers on several members of the 1927 roster. n a AFTER the last dime! Two pro league grid teams stretched their season until last Sunday and literally were frozen into quitting. tt nm They played until It hurt. When a team went into a huddle the warriors didn't discuss signals. They exchanged hot stories to keep warm. ana Outfielder Elias Funk failed to get even a cup of coffee in the big league. A week ago St. Paul announced Funk’s transfer to the Yankees . . . And today the Yanks assigned him back to the Saints. a a a WELL, at any rate, Eli had his chest out seven days . . . Long enough to receive congratulations in the old home town. t( m a And in later years, if he cares to. Funk can point to the Yankees and say: “That’s my old club.” a a a Spring phenoms pass out after a splurge, but many of the midwinter graduates simply melt away.

Jimmy Ring, with the Cards last season, hopes to do a comeback with the Phillies next year. That club won’t know he’s been away. man 808 O’FARRELL, catcher, has transgressed the ethics of the diamond profession. He has had an operation performed on his throwing hand during the OFF-SEASON. a a a It’s sort of an unwritten law among the athletes to leave all repairs go until the following spring, or until salary time. / a a a The frugal boys go on the theory there’s no fun in operations or adjustments unless the club owner is put out of pocketbook and other “grief.” ana Nat Holman of the New York Celtics is said to be the “last word” in basketball. How about the referees? a a a THE ferocious face of Louis Wolheim, movie actor, has meant his fortune. Too bad Umpire Jim Murray was born so soon.
