Talking It - Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

tkjEW YORK, March 11.—The 1\ one man everybody in baseball is pulling for to make the grade this year is the one man everybody says won’t make it. This man is Walter Johnson, once the greatest right hander in baseball and now a managerial novice in the big leagues. Clark Griffith brought him back from Newark in the International

League and handed -Bucky Harris his transportation elsewhere. The indictment against Johnson is that there is too Nnuch Polly Anna in his blood and not enough Simon Legree. Being human himself he has always tried to be human with his fellow men. Apparently you

can't do this and succeed in baseball. At any rate the notion persists that you can drive a ball player into a world series but you can’t lead him there. "

tt tt tt Johnson is no driver. His natural instincts run to peacefulness and placidity. His career on the diamond wasn’t of much help to him in developing a calloused fighting front. He came into the league with a blazing fire ball. His success was as instantaneous as it was inevitable. tt tt tt IT was a simple formula, unattended by physical labors or mental burdens. It remained his, and his alone, for a long stretch of years, or until time, with its noiseless tread, beckoned him to the bench. tt tt tt Whether “Old Barney” would have become a more hardened individual if he had been less gifted in natural riches and had had to battie harder for his pre-emi-nence is a question. I doubt it. The man i s not tin type. Asa store clerk in Coffeyville, Kan., or a fourth rate pitcher in a fourth rate league he would have been just as lovable, human, and unchanged. MANAGING IS THE GOAL OF ALL OLD PLAYERS. MANY OF THEM HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO TURN TO. OTHERS HATE TO LEAVE THE GAME. JOHNSON BELONGS TO THIS CLASS. BASEBALL WITH HIM HAS BEEN SOMETHING FINER THAN A SALARIED PROFESSION. tt tt tt IREM.LMBER a talk he made a couple of years ago to about 4,000 youngsters entered in the New York Telegram’s annual baseball contest. He told me he could only stay a few minutes, that he would say “hello” tc the youngsters and then go. He was late in arriving. Ruth, Gehrig, Vance, Speaker, Altrock and others had come and talked. Presently the big shouldered blonde bulked across the rostum, a shy, little smile lighting up his pale face. There followed a shout and tumult such as only the eager souls of idolizing youngsters can create. It was clear where he stood with them. tt a tt Johnson stood motionless on the rostum, his hands in his pockets. I think he must have talked for thirty minutes. And it was the finest baseball talk I ever heard. No father ever talked to his son more earnestly or feelingly. tt a tt j I CAN STILL SEE AND HEAR HIM AS /HE CLOSED HIS TALK: “BASEBALL IS JUST ABOUT LIKE ANY OTHER GAME IN LIFE. YOU GET OUT OF IT WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT. BASEBALL HAS BEEN GRAND TO ME. I HAVE A COUPLE OF BOYS AT HOME JUST ABOUT YOUR AGE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ASKING ME WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE WHEN THEY GROW UP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE, BUT IF THEY BECOME BALL PLAYERS THEY'LL MAKE ME MIGHTY HAPPY."

Indianapolis Set to Cheer for Technical Squad in State Finals

Local Irish Get Set for Chicago Meet Cathedral, Again Crowned State Catholic Champs, Prepare for National. The Cathedral high school net team, state champions for the second consecutive year began preparation today for the National Catholic meet at Chicago next week. Coach Joe Deinhart planned on giving his team a rest the early part of this week to keep them from going stale. Saturday night Cathedral sailed through Central Catholic of Ft. Wayne in easy fashion and won 16-2 in the final game of the state tourney. The upstaters were held scoreless from the field, so tight was the Irish defense and counted only twice from the free toss line. In addition to winning the state title, the local team also was honored when Leo Gallagher, popular little floor guard, was unanimously chosen the outstanding player and awarded the Albert G. Feeney medal for being the most valuable player to his team. The real test overcome by Cathedral in winning the title came Saturday afternoon when they defeated Washington, 23-11. The downstaters really had a well-balanced and powerful team, one that Cathedral feared but repulsed decisively.

Capital City to Be Represented in Last Race for Title. ANDERSON GOES DOWN Arsenal Five Decisive Winner in Regional. BY DICK MILLER INDIANAPOLIS basketball fans looked forward tD the I. H. S. A. A. state final tournament today with considerably more interest than they ever have before. For once, they feel they have a real threat for the crown. Technical high school now is ranked as one of the topnotchers in the state. That was decided conclusively with the decisive victory of the Techmen over Anderson in the regional tournament final game Saturday night 27-21. Whether it has been a “jinx” or superiority, Alva Stagg’s teams always have been able to repulse any efforts made by Indianapolis teams in the way of basketball progress. Saturday night, Tim Campbell, clever coach of the Tech team, sent a five on the floor at Anderson that was superior, more brainy and master of the fray throughout the entire game. The game was not five minutes old until every judge of basketball was certain of the outcome. A wiry youth named DaVis was through the Anderson defense in a hurry and Tech was in the lead. Jack Hill, the rangy center of the locals, added three points and Lowery crashed down the floor for two more in the opening half and Tech led, 11-8. The Anderson points were accounted for by four shots by Butler and Hunt and field goals by Wood, Sadler and Winship.

Miller boosted the local score one point from the free throw line and it remained there while Butler and Winship sank field goals that tied the score. Anderson jumped into a momentary lead when Crocker sank a foul and Butler another field goal, but Miller and Lowery looped in field goals. That ended Anderson’s hopes. It was a strong Anderson team that Tech completely whipped. It was an Anderson team that many, including the writer, had a feeling would win, but Tech clearly outplayed the Indians. Every man on the Technical team executed his part to the last letter and not one excelled the other in brilliance. Saturday night it was a machine!

The two Tribe southpaws showed good speed, sharp curves and a baffling change of pace. With the new hurler, Teachout, delivering in a manner that caused much favorable comment among the veterans on both clubs. Mand O.sbern’s form of Saturday against Tampa must not go overlooked because he outpitched r several ways Jack Tucker, an<v .cr rookie who lias beep much in the limelight during spring training. The lad from Kansas City hurled what is termed high-class ball in the spring and Manager Betzel announced the lad would be watched and coached closely as the days go by. He fielded his position in splendid style and really operated like a veteran.

Hauser as Pinch Hitter George Hauser. Milwaukee rookie, was used as a pinch hitter Saturday and came through with a solid single that drove in two runs, and on Sunday again acted as a pinch hitter and drew a base on balls. This lad can hit and eventually may be developed as an outfielder rather than a pitcher. n n a Herman Layne knocked four hits over the week-end, two against Tampa and two against St, Louis. And two of the four blows . were doubles. He relieved Barnhart Sunday and hit safely the only two times he was up tt tt tt The Indians executed three double plays in the Cardinal fracas, Metz and Monahan making unassisted two-ply killings. A Connolly-to-Warstier- to-Monahan play was smooth and a dandy. tt tt tt BUD CONNOLLY SOLVED THE CARDINAL PITCHERS FOR A SINGLE AND TRIPLE. tt tt tt Manager Southworth of the Cardinals used himself as a pinch hitter and Peachout caused him to go down on strikes. Southworth was Rochester manager in the little world series last fall. tt tt tt The punch the team as a whole showed convinced Manager Betzel his system of training is getting results, tt tt THE INDIANS’ BIG INNING WAS THE SECOND WHEN THE A. A. CHAMPIONS RALLIED FOR FIVE BUNS AND KNOCKED PITCHER BYSCO OFF THE RUBBER. tt tt tt Grover Cleveland Alexander warmed up but didn’t go in, and Folliard and Ginther, a southpaw* followed Bysco on the Cardinal mound. With Layne on third in the sixth, Reb Russell stole second and drew a laugh. u tt u Cincinnati will invade Sarasota Wednesday to mingle with the Indians.
