| Talking |lt Over I WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, March 23.—The news dispatches announce the transfer of one Lester Bell, third baseman, from the Cardinals to the Braves in exchange for one Andy
High, another third baseman, and $20,000 in more or less actual cash. Taken simply as a news dispatch set in modest typographical dress alongside the cigarete ad and the men’s store a nn o u n cements, the exchange of Bell for High and what was thrown in hardly assumes
Williams
the importance of an epochal event. But taking the dispatch and peering intently between the simplyphrased lines—peering into the soul of the thing, as you might say—you run right smack-dab into a development you had been expecting all spring. n a tt Namely and to wit: The influence of Rogers Hornsby on the present and future conduct of the Boston club. Nobody put that deal over but your friend Rogers, and if any subsequent deals are put over or vital changes made in the lineup or field operations of that club he’ll make ’em. tt a a IN §liort, your friend Rogers is already beginning to .function as the actual manager of the team to which he was traded in a moment of Falstaffian merriment by Mr. j Charles A. Stoneham of the Giants j last winter. Nominally the manager still is ■ Pack Slattery and he is in a tough spot. He got the job a couple of weeks before Mr. Stoneham made his celebrated decision that the interests of the Giants would be best served if they tried to get along without a second baseman. Later when Hornsby was signed - to a three-year contract at $40,000 which is about four times the j amount Slattery signed for—the manager automatically became a ngure of reduced importance; a King Emanuel to a Mussolini. ti n a And while Judge Emil Fuchs, president of the club, assured all and sundry that Siattery would continue to manage the club and that Hornsby would serve merely in the capacity of captain, it wasn’t in the cards for the arrangement to work out that way. a tt a IT is not easy to keep these $40,000-a-year boys with managerial impulses in the background. And maybe they shouldn’t be. Hornsby fits into that convenient classification known as a natural leader. He dominated the Cards even before he was manager, and he was no insignificant figure in the Giants’ lineup a year ago. Ultimately, of course. Hornsby will move into the job without reservations.

Leverett, Myers Slated to See Mound Action This Afternoon. PLAY CINCY SATURDAY i | Betzel Keeps Hoosiers Hustling in Practice. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 23. —Following two practice session?' Thursday that were the longest ami best, of the spring training grind in Plant City, the Indians of Bruno Betzel were prepared to motor to I Palmetto today to tackle the I Buffalo Bisons in a return exhibition tilt. The fact the Bisons finished out in front over the Hoosiers in Wednesday’s game at Plant City didn’t set well with the Betzel boys and the tossers wearing Tribe colors were burning up to hand the International League champions a flogging this afternoon. It’s a tough week closing for the Indians for they will cover many miles today and Saturday. If weather does not interfere with today's long journey to Palmetto, the Tribesmen won’t get much rest after the return trip tonight because they must hop cut early and scorch the highways to Orlando to fill a date with the Cincinnati Reds, Saturday afternoon. The Orlando arrangements also call f or the athletes to jump back to Plant City for a Sunday rest before clashing with the Cincy Reds again Monday on the Tribe’s spring training lot. Dixie Leverett, veteran right hander and Herman ?Jeyers, youthful left hander, were slated for Tirbc mound duty against Buffalo at Palmetto this afternoon. A third pitcher was to be used, if needed, according to Manager Betzel. who planned to pilot a squad of nineteen players to the March home of the Bison.;. Leave Next Friday Cne week from tonight, Friday, March 30. the Hoosiers depart for Indianapolis, and they intend to bear down heavily in the remaining exhibition games in Florida in an effort to build up their reputation before showing before the home fans in Indianapolis. As for Thursday’s practice in Plant City it had all the earmarks of actual labor. Manager Betzel calle dl'or intensified batting drill and he found a way to get it. He simply used two pitchers at once at different places in the spacious Plant City park and the hitters were kept busy walking back and forth and taking three swings at each place. All ball players love batting practice and some of the Indians raised hand blisters Thursday keeping up with the pace of Betzei's arrangement. The pastimers were in their uniforms by 10 o'clock Thursday

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Yankee Pilot Confident of A.L. Pennant Miller Huggins Says New York Team Is Stronger Than in 1927. (Copyright, 1928. by United Press) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March i 23.—“1 really believe the Yankees j are stronger than they were last | year,” Miller Huggins, diminutive | manager of the world’s champions, | told the United Press in an exclusive interview today. “But,” he added promptly, “I do not look forward to anything like the runaway we enjoyed in 1927.” The shrewd little pilot who has steered the New York Yankees to five American League pennants in j the past seven seasons, a record unequaled in the history of the national pastime, feels confident that this year means just another triumph for his club. | “We have improved all down the i line,” said Huggins, “and I still beJ lieve we have the best ball club in baseball. I “I think we still have the pitching,” he argued. “A great deal depends upon it, of course. Wc have released Reuther and Shawkey. and Shocker, a great spit-ball pitcher of particular effectiveness in the spring, has retired. In their places, we have Stan Coveleskie, Henry Johnson and A1 Shealy. “Covy, I believe, will do well, although he was hit kind of hard Thursday. Then there is Pipgras. ready to take his regular turn, and Myles Thomas, about due to work steadily. “Opposition? Well. I think we may expect our strongest opposition from the Athletics, who will be helped greatly by Speaker and Cobb and who have picked up quite a nice pitcher in Ossie Orwoll, who was with Milwaukee last season. “The Senators look better than last year and they, too. should make things interesting. With these two contenders - improved, the race should be tighter, but don't overlook our own improvement.” Loveless to Head De Pguw Nstters l!u 7 tines ftp*cilil GREENCASTLE, Ind., March 23. —Clifton Loveless, Francisco, Ind., will pilot next year's De Pauw University basketball team. He was elected captain of the 1929 quintet here Thursday. He is a junior, played forward on the basketball team and end on the football team.
morning and after a short luncheon rest they returned to action and kept occupied until 2:30. Pitcher followed pitcher and even outfielder Reb Russell and Chet Russell, rookie first r, acker. were pressed into service on the mound to keep the hitters hustling. The baiting splurge was ordered by Manager Ectzel who is striving ernestly to bring out a punch in his club. He has what appears to be a formidable outfit on paper, but j in all but one of the exhibition tilts! to date .the team has failed to come through as expected on the attack. it tt tt Infield practice at the Indians’ spring training park, Thursday, was a dandy. It followed the double sessions of batting drill and the ginger jar was split wide open by the pastimers who represent the inner defense. a tt tt Coach Corriden hit many fast ones to the infield guardians as Manager Betzel called for more speed and Shortstop VVarstler’s ground covering skill again stood out. If this lad produces in games in the same manner he does in practice he’ll have the home fans screaming glacf tidings. tt tt tt Walter Holke. first sacker. bothered by a spring training batting slump, extended himself during infield drill Thursday and scooped up many hard drives to his right that were his weakness last season. tt tt tt Bud Connolly worked out at third after Fred Haney retired and the little fellow fitted right into the hot pace set. lie is among the best hustlers in camp. tt a tt Ferd Schupp has a wild spell on the mound Thursday and one of his pitches crippled Catcher Roy Spencer, who was batting at the time. The ball struck Spencer on the left leg below the knee and finished him for the day. tt tt a A. C. Clouds, Big Four telegraph operator of Indianapolis, who accompanied the main squad of Indians South for a vacation, has returned home bristling with glowing hopes for a winning tea mat Washington Park. He scored a popular hit with all the players by not missing a single practice and taking in all the games. a a tt Catcher Paul Florence, the lone Tribe holdout, has been a camp absentee several days. He was called home on an important matter and he departed without signing his contract. He left the impression with Manager Betzel he would agree to terms on his return. But regardless of the manner in which the controversy ends, Florence doubtless will face a penalty when Owner Perry returns from Cuba, his destination when he left Plant City on Wednesday night.
