Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

AUGUSTA, Ga., March 17.—Mr. John Joseph McGraw spent St. Pat-

rick's day in bed. flat on his back, with his ankle, hit by a line drive, bandaged like an Egyptian mummy. This was not a pleasant experience for any one; for an Irishman on that day of days it approximated a tragedy. Calling on Mr. McGraw. I found him stretched his

full length, a pair of crutches at the head of his bed. sport pages of various metropolitan papers strewn about the floor, horn-rimmed glasses perched on his forehead, a wan smile flickering about his face. “Ain't this hell?" he asked, “and On March the 17th." There was an atmosphere of domesticity about the suite that somehow was hard to reconcile with the McGraw background. There was a simplicity and a placidity that struck the stranger as inconsistent with the tumultuous temperament of the Giants’ famous leader. a a a In an outer room sat Mrs. McGraw, a motherly type, stringing beads. She was mildly provoked at her immediate inability to get them strung just right. She laughed softly. “My eyes must be getting bad, too.” This, you take it, was a gentle dig at the Little Napoleon, who has finally surrendered to the glasses, a a a ON a window sill stood an assortment of preserved fruits, jams and marmelades, a toothsome testimonial to the gray-haired manager's craving for sweets. “And how does your ball club look?" he was asked. This brought no great enthusiasm. It was evident Mr. McGraw realizes he has a job on his hands. It was particularly evident that he is not kidding himself. it a a “The club looks ail right,” he answered after a pause. “I think we’ll get along pretty well. It is going to be a tough race, a hard, tight race, with four or five clubs making the fight." a a a MR. MGRAW admits Pittsburgh is the team the boys will have to beat. “The Pirates have plenty of allround strength.” he said. “They ought to be better this year than they were a year ago. They were weak at first and second base last year. “Getting Sparky Adams from the Cubs for second will help tremendously. He is a capable second baseman. Grantham can be shifted back to first. He is better at first than at second. Thus, the two positions that needed strengthening most have been taken care of.” TAKE LEAD IN A. B. C. St. Paul Men Roll Score of 1,347 in Doubles Event.

Tribesmen Face Strenuous Week; Four Games on

Indianapolis Ball Tossers Play St. Louis Cardinals at Avon Park Today; Danny Boone on Mound. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Kditor PLANT CITY, Flo., .March 19.—Tliis is the week liruuo Betzel's Indians start mingling witli the lug learners in Florida exhibition games, two contests being xdicdulcd with major outfits, the St. Louis Cardinals at Avon Park today and Iho Cincinnati Reds ai Orlando Saturday, in between the clashes with the ‘‘Big Time’’ clubs are two tilts slated with the Buffalo Internationals, one in Plant City Wednesday and the other at Palmetto Friday.

The Indians fared a long trip to Avon Park and return today for the Cardinal battle. Danny Bocne, the "sheik" righthander who has pleased the, bosses with his form this spring, was billed to open on the Tribe mound against Bill McKechnie’s aggregation this afternoon. The boy has improved his fast ball and Manager Betzel planned to leave him go four or five innings against the major pastimers if he uncorked the proper deceptive stuff. This is the beginning of the fourth week in training camp for some of the hurlers and the start of the third week for the main squad of Hoosier diamond hopefuls. In other words, the athletes have reached that stage of training where they will be expected to show their true worth under fire in the exhibition tilts. Much depends on the weather, of course, because some of the players, especially the veterans, quickly suffer a relapse when they fail to get oodles of sunshine. The pitching staff, the biggest item on any ball club, will be given close attention this week. Several of the hurlers are complaining of kinks in their wings and not enough of the hurlers are cutting loose to give Manager Betzel an idea of the best among them. In fact he may be forced to seek help in that department if several of the throwers don't hurry and try bearing down occasionally. On this subject, it is said. Owner Perry has neon promised aid by Pittsburgh if the Pirates have anything good they can afford to turn loose. The team, as a whole, on paper, looks the part of a club with a batting punch, but said punch has yet to come to the surface. Last week, in three games, two with Baltimore and one with Reading, the Indians collected only five runs. The four games this week, therefore, take on added importance, for it is now time for the hitters to begin to hit and also for the pitchers to start extending themselves. B B B The Indians Saturday date with the Reading Internationals at Lakeland was washed out by a tropical rainstorm. The heavy shower lasted four hours. BUB The rain brought a drop in temperature and the boys afflicted with sun-grin got a chance to get back to normal. a a a Competition in the outfield is so keen none of the seven fly chasers can afford to let down. One day recently two workouts failed to satisfy Wid Matthews and he collected some small boys and took a third drill of batting practice. n tt tt “Doll” Jacobson. Jim Walsh and Matthews are nursing their throwing arms and a true line on thei; - pegging ability is yet to "be obtained. Matty's throwing last season was below “A" standard. BUB The throwing of Outfielders Layne. Russell, Mueller and Anderson appears okay. BBS Though not ready for A. A. speed Chet Russell, rookie first saclser, has improved immensely under coaching and he is labeled an excellent prospect for development. BUB Fred Haney, third baseman, stacks up as the best infielder in camp from the standpoint of fielding, batting, throwing and running bases. BBS Manager Betzel is batting and fielding better than last March and is doing a splended job of second basing. He continues to give much time to teaching Shortstop "Rabbit" Warstler the fine points about operating around the keystone sack. BUB Batting averages of Tribe catchers, infielders and outfielders, com--1 piled from three exhibition games and four practice games, follow: „ , AB. H. Pet. Connolly 20 10 .500 R.

A free throw by Wooden would have, in the course of events, made a tie score, resulting in an overtime game. Martinsville’s stalling game was perfect and the Artesians, no doubt, could have retained possession of the sphere for the remainder of the contest. The calling of time-out necessitated a free throw. Wooden missed and the ball went back to center for a tip-off. Tipping the ball backwards, Secrist seized it and swiftly completed a reverse pivot. He fired away and the ball arched high toward the steel girders, coming down through the hoop barely disturbing the netting. Secrist's strategy had won for Muncie the State scholastic championship.
