Tribe Hurlers Show Fine Form in Exhibition Contests in Southland

Touted Hitting F.wer of Indian Outfield Fails to Show Up. LOCALS DOWN ORIOLES Baltimore Team Blanked by Twirlers. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 14. With two exhibition games disposed of, both with Baltimore, one a tie and the other a victory, 2 to 0, the observing eye mirrors the fact the pitchers are away ahead of the hitters in matters pertaining to the progress of Bruno Betzel’s Indians. This is only a natural development, however, because the boys who occupy the firing line came to the Plant City spring training camp one week in advance of the hitters, so called and otherwise. The contest held locally Tuesday between the Hoosiers and the Orioles was a good ball fracas, the Indians denting the home plate twice while the Balto pastimers failed to strike up acquaintance with it. And as on the preceding afternoon the pitchers hogged the spotlight. Indianapolis managed to collect eight hits and the International leaguers four. Steve Swetonic hurled five innings for the Betzelites, allowed two bingles and struck out three men, which is very extraordinary record for mid-March. Speece went in and twirled the sixth and seventh, permitting one hit and fanning three. Yde finished and kept the fine hurling going. The struggle was worth the money as an exhibition and the few customers were delighted with it. Manager Betzel was delighted with his pitchers, but, while expressing satisfaction with the hurlers, Bruno hastened to add that his club needed more batting practice. The Tribe outfield punch, hearlded far and wide, has yet to get in stride. The boys are too eager to kill the ball, or perhaps they haven’t shaken off the sun fever enough to sharpen their eyes. Any day now the Tribe as a whole is expected to open up a batting barrage and pile up an enormous run total to offset the meagre scoring of Monday and Tuesday, said total being "three tallies. The Reading International leaguers are next. They battle the Indians in Plant City Thursday, and in the meantime the Ti'ibesmen returned to the two-a-day practice plan today. tt tt A thunderstorm threatened to 1 break up Tuesday’s tilt at Adelson Field, but held off until after the ; game when the clouds split wide open. No doubt the impending rain cut the attendance because the turnstile did very little clicking. a tt a Yde performed in easy fashion and he feels as though lie’s due AMUSEMENTS
