Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS ‘

Heading north, March 20— Memories still linger of a rare baseball picture that was undraped before the excited gaze of a few hundred baseball fans sitting in a

sprawling wooden grandstand in Augusta, Ga., the other day—a picture heretofore reserved exclusively for the fictionists of the game. Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker picked up their gloves and trotted out to the outfield to play side by side for a common cause. It was the first time

Williams

these two famous veterans ever had appeared in the same line-up caparisoned in the livery of the same ball club. There never has been a greater hitter or base runner, taking him year in and year out, than Cobb, and for all-round artistry plus a consistency at the plate there never has been an outfielder who measured up to the gray-topped Texan. a a a Until George Herman Ruth came along with his fifty-two-ouncc bat, Cobb, then with the Tigers, and Speaker, first with the Red Sox anti later with the In- , dians, completely dominated all j discussions pertaining to the science of outfielding. nutt WHENEVER anybody felt the urge coming on to commit | an all-star baseball team he started out with two players about whose 1 qualifications there could be no dispute—Cobb in right and Speaker in \ center. A part of the formula, invariably j respected, was the writing of a paragraph in which the claim was boldly made that any team having Cobb and Speaker in its line-up would be hard to beat, or words to that general piquant effect. Os course, that was in the days J gone by. Cobb and Speaker are still good, but like Mr. Dempsey’s legs arid the Tenth Avenue mule cars, make an interesting addition to the baseball merry-go-round. Both have passed the age where genius burns brightest in baseball. Cobb was 41 in December, speaker ! will be 40 in April. Years ago, their j joint presence on any ball club would have made that club a win- i ning combination. Today it is dis- i ferent. You hear many smart base- i ball men say they will handicap the j Athletics rather than help them. nun Maybe so. That is another story, j I’m wondering how much more luster Cobb and Speaker would j have added to their records if they j had come along later. Say, six or seven years ago, when the lively i ball was just beginning to make j its imprint on the records of the game. nun COBB always was a better ball! player than Speaker. He was j a better hitter and a better base j runner, and while he used to be a: great gate attraction he was never! the gate attraction Ruth is. I think it is pretty safe to say there will never be another gate attraction like Ruth. Blending as he does, a vast personal appeal with the most terrific punch the game ever has known. Ruth would have been a great ball player under any circumstances. In fact, he w T as in the process of demonstrating this as a left-handed pitcher before he turned to the home run bat. Rozelle Beaten by Billy Meyers Billy Meyers of West Indianapolis handed Harry (Kid) Rozelle a lac- j ing in the six-round top go of the Belle Vieu A. A. show at the Princess j Theatre Monday night.

Tribe Outfield Finds Punch in Tilt With St. Louis Cardinals

Combination of Poor Fielding, Poor Umpiring Knocks Indians Out of Victory; Betzel Pleased. BY EDDIE ASH Times Spoits Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 20.—Bruno Betzel’s Indians got more runs against the St. Louis Cardinals at Avon Park Monday than they totalled in three exhibition tilts against International

League opponents last week, but unfortunately, the Cardinals scored one more and annexed the honors, 9 to 8. A combination of erratic fielding and poor umpiring knocked the Tribe out of victory, but there were some good points to chuckle over. Danny Boone and Steve Swetonic did the pitching for the Indians and pleased the bosses, so-r the defeat was no fault on their pa”t. Roy Spencer caught a fine game, poled one hit and lined out once on a terriffic swat straight into Lester Bell’s glove. ,

Herman Lavne drove out a home run and single and thereby indicated he has found his batting eye after getting away to a poor start in the exhibition business. Five of the Tribe’s ten

hits were made by the outfielders and this fact pleased Manager Betzel because he figures the real punch of his club must come from ! the fly chasers. Fred Haney at third performed in his customary starry style and collected a single, a double and sacrificed twice. A throw from right field by Mueller was another feature, the peg cutting down a Cardinal j runner at third. This hustling out- j fielder relieved Russell and smacked j one sale in two attempts. More! and more, Mueller becomes impres- j sive as a ball hawk and a general all-around expert in the diamond • profession. That about blankets the good! points of the play of the Indians j Monday. Looking at the contest from a pessimistic standpoint the shaky work of Warstler at shortstop crops to the surface. He exploded with three erors in the ninth that ruined the Indians. One of the boots was excused and apparently belonged to j one of the field umpires who hap- j peneri to be a member of the j Cardinals. The box score shows Warstler with four errors, in the game, however, and three of the mistakes were bobbles. The ground of Avon Park was lightning fast compared with the field at Plant City and Manager Betzel was inclined to the belief the young shortstop was put out of gear for that reason. The “Rabbit” had seven assists : and one putout, however, and his j work in the ninth looked very much | as though he went to pieces in the ; pinch. He needs plenty more expert j coaching and more games under his j belt before his true worth can be j

judged. The Indians went back to the double practice routine here today. They play three more games this week, meeting Buffalo here Wednesday, Buffalo again Friday at Palmetto and Cincinnati at Orlando Saturday. The diamonds are in good shape at Palmetto and Orlando and tt will do the Indians good to play on them for they are in need of practice on last infields. The trip to Avon Park Monday was long and tiresome for the Tribe pastimers. The journey and game killed the entire day for the athletes. It wis a sad ninth for the Hocsiers. When the Cardinals went to bat for the last; time Indianapolis was leading 8 to 6. Warstler booted Martin's roller, Blades bounced to Swetonic, who threw to Warstler in an effort to start a double play. The throw was poor, but Warstler nailed it and apparently brushed the sack, but the umpire said "no” and both runners were safe. Frisch singled, scoring Martin. Warstler erred on Bottomley's grounder and Blades counted with the tying run. Hafey doubled and Frisch trotted home with the winning run. The only stolen bases went to Mueller and Warstler. On a double steal, the former scoring in the seventh. Holke was gypped out of a hit in the first inning by an umpire's poor judgment. Three umpires were used, Moran, a regular, behind the plate, and two St. Louis men, Onslow and Haines, in the field. The shoddy work of Onslow and Haines moved Owner Jim Perry of the Indians to order that Umpire John Kelley of Indianapolis be taken on the road trips. Kelley has been handling Tribe games in Plant City. Perry said he is perfectly willing to spend some money to get his boys and even brake on decisions. He saw enough Monday. Danny Boone fooled Frankie Frisch in the first stanza Monday and the great second sacker struck out swinging. He got two singles later in the fracas. Efforts by the Indians to land Babe Herman, first sacker with Brooklyn, appear hopeless. At least Manager Betzel and Seere-’ tary Clauer think so. New Indianapolis arrivals in the Plant City training camp who motored to Avon Park for Monday’s fray were Norman A. Perry, Tribe vice president; W. C. Richardson, treasurer; Martin Hugg, Arch V. Grossman, Elmer Scott and John McCann. Some of the party plan a trip to Havana. Here’s anew one. The Indians have been scouted during spring training. Monday at Avon Park, Scout Rourkc of the Cincy Reds was seen viewing the pastiming. It was reported he was present to watch Danny Boone perform. Pitcher Wallie Hurt, Indianapolis semi-pro, requested and received permission to leave the squad and return to Indianapolis. A sore arm discouraged him in his efforts here and he believes only a long rest will help the wing.
