Warming ’Em Up BY EDDIE ASH

PLANT CITY, Fla., March 21Keen rivalry comes to the surface in the practice tilts played in the Tribe's spring training camp. For instance, in Tuesday's battle, Bud Connolly made a play on Layne

that looked like midseason stuff. Layne was trapped off first base in the fifth inning, and in the rundown that followed Connolly adopted football tackling tactics and secured the “out” by leaving his feet in a headlong dive and tagging the fleet Layne on one of his heels. Action

Eddie Ash

of that kind proves the boys are hustling, for Connolly risked getting a spiked face when he left his leet and made the dive. Big Thompson is making a brave effort to stay with the Indians and

hLs work of Tuesday was applauded. He has taken off eleven pounds since coming down from the North and was not “right” until Tuesday. He won twenty games and lost twelve in the Southeastern League last season, playing Class B ball. Mueller turned in a dandy catch on a low liner Tuesday and this St. Louis athlete once more scored heavily with the bosses. Byron Speece and Emil Yde were slated to do the mound work against Buffalo today. Reb Russell went hitless Tuesday, but managed to cut a few capers in the outfield. He’s a sure catch when he can reach them. Catcher Roy Spencer caught the entire game against St. Louis Monday and won a rest Tuesday. He

chose to umpire, along with Steve S we tonic. Holke turned in a good day’s play at first base, but went hitless. Chet Russell, the other first sacker, had a similar record. OWNER JAMES PERRY has decided to accompany his brother, Norman A. Perry, and a fy.v other vacacitionists to Cuba. They leave tonight. In addition to the Perrys, the party will consist of the following Indianapolis men: W. C. Richardson, Tribe treasurer; Martin Hugg, Arch Grossman, Elmer Scott and Harry Boggs. They had a field day of their own in and around Plant City. Tuesday morning. Becoming ambitious they ran around the bases at the ball park and even Martin Hugg, despite his seventyyears, turned the trick, much to the surprise of the astonished ball players. Visitors at camp Tuesday were Biil CJymer, Joe Cantillon and Rube Vickers, aU well known to old-time fans. Cantillon put in a

boost for “Doll” Jacobson, veteran outfielder. Joe always favored tfie big- boys who could club the horsehide. Jacobson is leading the outfielders at bat and Fred Haney tops the infielders. Matthews is trailing the ftj chasers and Holke is last among the infielders. Weather in these parts Tuesday was clear and warm, but not hot. It was ideal for practice. NO RIVAL FOR JOB Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees’ first baseman, is the only player on the club who has no understudy for his position.

Spirit of Tribesmen Improved; Warstler Performs Brilliantly in Practice; Bosses Announce Plans. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor. PLANT CITY, Fla., March 21. —IncYian stock soared today as Bruno Betzel’s pastimers tuned up to meet the Buffalo team, champions of the International League. The Bisons, managed by Bill Clyraer, were billed to oppose the Iloosiers this afternoon in Plant City and the boys who wear Y he Tribe spangles were itching to put over a victory. Improvement in the spirit of the Indians cropped out Tuesday when the athletes

went through one of the best drills of the spring training season right before the eyes of all of tlie club executives, including President James Perry, Vice President Norman Perry and Treasurer W. C. Richardson. “Rabbitt” Warstler, shortstop, shook off the stage fright that hurt his looks Monday when the Indians lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, and he performed brilliantly in the field and at bat. Moreover, the club officials announced they were not througli bolstering the team and added the important information that the matter of money was a minor item. “Whatever Manager Betzel feels he needs, we'll try to obtain,” they said. And that being the situation it is taken for granted the club bosses mean to continue their efforts to land anew first baseman, perhaps one or two new pitches and another left-handed hitting outfielder.

Cash or players or cash and players will be used in the deals proposed. of course. The Indians, as they stand, stack up promising, far better than last year at this time, but the idea of the Tribe officials is to toss their bank roll in the ring and strengthen the club in the departments where Manager Betzel fears weaknesses may crop out later when the A. A. campaign becomes hot. x After a morning of batting practice Tuesday, the squad was divided in the afternoon and a practice game of seven innings was staged. The nine piloted by Betzel won over Coach Corriden’s outfit, 3 to 0. The pitching of Burwell and Thompson proved too much for Corriden's Club, the former allowing only one hit in three innings and the latter only two bingles in four rounds. Layne, Haney and Warstler were the only boys to get two hits during the melee and the longest drive was Walter Mueller's triple. Doubles were poled by Haney and Jacobson. The fielding of Connolly, Warstler and Mueller was above the average. Lefty Thompson attracted attention with his pitching, the big fellow striking out four men in addition to giving up only two hits in four innings. Schemanske and Cavet hurled for the losing team, the former looking much better than the tall veteran southpaw. TuesI day's box score: BETZEL S TEAM.

Lester Bell Is Traded to Boston Club Braves Get Star Card ThirdSacker for High and $20,000. Vjj I llUrd Press ST. PETERSBURG. Fla , March 21.—The Boston Braves today appeared more formidable than ever as a result of the acquisition of Lester' Bell, who starred at third base for the St. Louis Cardinals when they won the world's championship in 1926. To get 8011, the Braves gave Andy High and $20,000 in cash. The Cardinals wanted Eddie Moore, Braves’ all-round player who is now holding down a regular outfield berth, but Manager Slattery refused to part with him. Rogers Hornsby, manager the 1926 Cardinals, was largely responsible for the deal which brought Bell to the Braves. Hornsby and Bell are close friends, and it, was under the "Rajah” Bell played his best baseball. The Braves' infield of Burrus, Hornsby. Farrell and Bell now shapes up as one of the bcsl, in the league.
