"Warming ’Em Up By EDDIE ASH

Sarasota, Fia., March 20. “Only suffering ever will make you a ball player,” Trainer Pierce said one day as he massaged the aching arm of a squirming rookie in the clubhouse of the Indians’ spring training -camp. “I don’t understand,” the rookie replied, “I’m as good as some of the rest of ’em and their arms don’t hurt after practice.” There was a slight pause

as Pierce slapped on more arnica and applied another twist to the youth’£ wing before he ended the conversation with: “Well, in your case I think you have been a horseshoe pitcher so long your arm is

bent and probably only some oldfashioned l\y pitching will straighten it out.” a tt a When One Eye Connolly visited Sarasota recently he remarked he might be on hand in Indianapolis for the next 500-mile race. And he received no encouragement from Hoosier listeners. tt tt tt THERE ARE QUITE A FEW FANCY STEPPERS AMONG THE TRIBESMEN AND DURING THE RECENT SARA DE SOTA PAGEANT THEY MINGLED FREELY AT THE NIGHTLY STREET DANCES USUALLY MANAGED TO HAVE AS Partners their share of fair SOUTHERN BELLES. tt tt tt Pitcher Ken Penner has a trick hat that gets many a laugh. Within the crown is a rubber device that lifts the hat a few inches while Penner stands or sits in an unconcerned manner. He'll pull down the fedora and go on reading or talking and suddenly up will go the hat again, giving the impression something alive is contained therein. He got many giggles from the hotel guests and then went to town on a busy evening and created excitement on the main stem. The populace thought he was a clown from the Ringling circus. tt a a One hot day when Trainer Pierre was left in charge of the squad Ferd Schupp strolled on to the field, saluted the “new manage r,” and said: “Well, chief, orders please! What are my duties today?” and Jim answered: “Three times around the park for you and then hunt up some tools and repair the batting cage.” Catching his breath, Ferd howled: “Let me pitch to the batters. All day, if necessary.” tt tt tt Schupp was coaxed into a running hi-lo game one afternoon and this exercise is really tough and windkilling. In it two players start in one outfield corner at the foul line, use one ball between them and pass it back and forth, high, low and wide while running and skirting the

field to the other corner. Schupp and his partner took off in right field and Ferd lasted until they reached left center, where he got groggy, fell down and crawled beneath a whispering palm tree and took a snooze.

Local Pin Gossip BY LEFTY LEE

The Times wishes to extend Us thanks lo the bowlers of the city for their wonderful support given the first annual Indianapolis Times classified singles sweepstakes. With an enrollment of 1,105 the old saying that it is impossible to interest bowlers of all classes has been proved a myrth. The success of this event will be better realized when the after results begin to show, as many pin topplers who never have rolled in tourney competition, will have become enthused over this class of play. The local merchants have also came to the front in great style, and the wonderful array of valuable merchandise donated has been a great factor in helping to create the meet that is by far the greatest of its kind ever held in this city. The first squad will roll Friday night of this week. The schedule for this day will appear in Thursday's Times. In going through the entries for The Times meet the name of old Doc Rackemann appeared.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, March 20.—1 tis becoming more apparent that -e reached a most acute stage in the credit situation. That no relief is in sight is indicated by the fact that 8 per cent is being paid for three months money accommodation and even at this rate, the supply is none too plentiful. To further ilustrate the point, the calling of a comparatively small amount of loans yesterday was sufficient to bring about a 10 per cent call rate. There is a general impression that the rate may advance beyond this level today. Again we have forecasts of a substantial increase in brokers loans and the usual rumors of an advance in the discount rate this week. While fully recognizeing the exceptionally bright industrial outlook we can not help but feel that monetary conditions are such that indiscriminate buying is most unwise. Building Permits S. E.

The securities exchange would operate from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m., central standard time, thus closing one hour later than the New York exchange. Memberships on the board may be held by non-residents of the '. ruted States, which is not permitted on the New York exchange.

The new rules also would permit an expelled member to sell his membership instead of forfeiting it.
