Tribesmen Open Tlome’ Season at Plant City Against Baltimore Nine

Hoosiers Tangle With Orioles in Second Struggle of Week. BULLETIN PLANT CITY, 11a., March 13. —Catcher Paul Florence, lone holdout of the 1928 Indians, joined the club in spring training camp today. He did not participate in the morning workout and • was to confer with Manager Bctzel and Secretary Clauer over salary terms later in the day. However, the fact Florence reported here indicates he will sign up because he had been advised to remain away if he persisted in prolonging, the contract controversy. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Lditor PLANT CITY, Fia.. March 13. The Indians of Bruno Betzel were to open their Florida “home” season today in a second struggle with the Baltimore Orioles whom they tied in a nine-inning fray at Auburndalc Monday, 1 to 1. The fracas was called by agreement when no decision was reached at the end of the regulation distance. Plant City boosters planned much merriment this afternoon out at Adelson Field and all diamond fans m the immediate vicinity were being coaxed to be on hand to give the Hoosiers a send-off in their first game appearance on the local lot. Manager Betzel planned to use Swetonic and Yde on the firing line with Spencer and Riddle sharing the catching. In the opinion of Betzel and Coach Corfiden the pitching of Danny Boone was the high spot of Monday's fyacas at Auburndale. He operated five inning, allowed only •three hits and struck out four Orioles. He was scored against in the

1 third stanza on a base on balls and two singles after two out, but the encouraging part of his performance was the good curve ball he uncorked. His stock is soaring in the eyes of the bosses. Herman Meyers southpaw, hurled the last four innings for the Indians, Monday, and he, too, went a-flying by not permitting even one hit and knocking off three batsmen on strikes. He’s rather frail for nine innings of ball in Class AA, but he’s young and has plenty of time to pick up some needed poundage. The Indians lone run Monday developed from a hit batsman. Reb Russell was the victim and he got -plunked on the back in the fourth inning after one out. He advanced on an out and scored on Betzel’s single. A light shower fell in nearly every inning Monday and the athletes missed the customary sunshine. Only

about one hundred fans were on hand and nobody objected when the game was terminated with the score knotted at the end of the ninth. , But despite the weather handicap it was one of the best and fastest contests staged in Florida by any two teams this month. The Tribesmen outbatted the International Leaguers, six to three, Eetzel getting two of the Tribe safeties There was no extra base swatting by cither club. ■ Starting Monday the Indians Trill be kept active during their remaining days in Florida. They have eleven more games before lieading north, March 31. The advertised punch in the Tribe outfield failed to develop Monday. Reb Russell was the . only fly chaser of five used to get one safe. It was his birthday. His thirty-ninth, he says. Manager Dunn of Baltimore used three flingers, Henderson, Bolen and. Allen, and it was Bolen, the southpaw, who steamed one into Reb's back. Mueller, Connolly and Meyers contributed fielding features for the Indians, and Lamotte, Archdeacon and Porter for the Orioles.

Lamotte knocked down a high line drive on Connolly in the eighth that probably prevented the Indians from untying the tie. Both Spencer and Riddle worked 4n style behind the plate. A Baltimore double play cut the Tribesman down in the first inning. Leo Dixoi\, former Tribe catcher, flow with Baltimore, had a peculiar record at the plate. He walked twice and fanned twice. Fred Haney practiced at third before Monday’s game. He won’t need much exercise to round into form. Outfielder Wid Matthews reported at camp Monday night. Thirty players are here now and Indian’apolis’ representation in Plant City pow numbers thirty-eight. The Indians finished Monday’s game with a kid battery, Meyers and Riddle. They worked together on the Sanford (Fla.) team last year.
