Tribesmen, in Top Shape, Swing Into Action Against Boston Red Sox

Indians Tangle With Buffalo Bison Saturday and Sunday. * i'SLERS WORK HARD Slab Artists Strive to Go Full Route. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 29.—The Indians’ third big test of spring training was to open at Bradentown today when Bill Carrigans Boston Red Sox were to be met for the third time and following the tilt this afternoon there will be a struggle with Buffalo at Palmetto Saturday and with the Bisons again Sunday at Sarasota. Twice before during the current warming up routine, the Tribesmen mixed in three games in three days, but more importance is attached to the contests impending owing to the fact the Betzelites are at the near peak of physical condition. Moreover, Manager Betzel is ready to call out what he believes are going to be his dependable hurlers and put them through heavy assignments. Speece was slated to fling against Boston today and stay on the mound the full distance if his arm held out. Using the Regulars And on Saturday against. Buffalo, Bill Bu veil will be asked to do likewise. Penner or Teachout will be trotted out Sunday for the heavy mound task. A burning desire to win all three encounters was noticeable arouncf camp this morning, because to date the Indians’ exhibition record has offered little to brag about in the way of victories, and it won’t be long until the Tribe squad heads north. Credit must be given, however. for the team’s fighting qualities in giving opponents a hard, ||§||& run, several games being lost J narrow margins.

Tom Keeps World Title; Beats Walker Loughran Boxes Way to Decision Over Mickey; Uses Great Left, BY BERT DEM BY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 29.—Tommy Loughran still was light heavyweight boxing champion today, after successfully defending his title here Thursday by outpointing Mickey Walker, middleweight champion, in ten rounds. Tommy was the heavier by approximately ten pounds and he used the weight to good advantage in pulling Walker into clinches when the latter rushed. Micky, the slashing bulldog type of fighter, was stopped completely by a great left jab which Loughran used continually. Bulldog Cuffs Tommy Loughran was in danger just once during the fight. That was in the fifth round when he apparently went out to slug with Walker. It took Mickey just one minute to prove how far Tommy could get, ivith those tactics. Before the round was a minute old, Loughran’a mouth and forehead were bleeding and the champion w r as content to clinch and rest a moment. Tommy then backed away and boxed during the remainder of the fight. Walker surprised the crowd by not starting with his customary rush. The middleweight started the fight by boxing and Tonurv won three rounds before Walker changed tactics. Walker took the fourth by opening w'ith his bulldog attack. Loughran lost the fifth by trying to slug and Walker obtained an even break in the sixth by rocking Tommy with a series of rights and lefts to the head when the champion slugged. The middleweight won the seventh and the eighth was even.- Walker began to tire in the eighth and seemed slow in the ninth, which Loughran won by a large margin. Tries for Haymaker In the tenth, Tommy showed just how great a boxer he is. He deliberately rubbed his left glove over Walker’s nose and cuffed the middleweight’s ears with his right, without receiving a return blow. Mickey, realizing his only hope of victory was by a knockout, swung at random in the tenth and landed just two blows during the round. Chicago’s largest indoor crowd saw the fight. Approximately 20,000 people crowded into Chicago’s new stadium and Promoter Paddy Harmon said the gate receipts would exceed $225,000. Loughran was guaranteed 55 per cent of the gross and he must pay Walker $50,000 out of that. In the semi-windup TufTy Griffith, Sioux City, la., outpointed Leo Lomski, Aberdeen, Wash., in ten lounds. To win Griffith slugged his way through Lomski’s boxing defense.

MERELY CHATTER

THE world of fistiana settled down to cool off a bit today after the Loughran-Walker light heavyweight fiesta in Chicago Thursday night. The handsome Philadelphian outpointed Mickey to win the decision in ten rounds, again proving himself to be a master boxer and ring general. tt tt B There isn’t much, doubt but that Tommy could take practically all of the outstanding heavyweight contenders of today and make ’em look like "stumble-bums’’ and “hams”—which most of them are.

It certainly would be tough on some of the boys if they had to go out and work for a living. Chuck Wiggins, the Hoosier king of fisticuffing, could take most of the boys and have them standing on their heads after four or five rounds of rough-housing.

PROMINENT EXECUTIVE OBSERVED LEAVING DIXIE SHOE STORE WITH TWO PAIRS OF NEW $3 MODELS

SPECIAL DISPATCH: The well-known director of a large manufacturing concern was recognized today when he came to a local DIXIE MEN’S SHOE STORE. The manager of the DIXIE store happened to be an old schoolmate of the multi-millionaire manufacturer, and recognized his boyhood friend instantly. The DIXIE manager has asked us to withhold the name of the multi-millionaire, but he did state that the ex-ecutive bought two pairs of the new Spring DIXIES. This is just one example of the hundreds of wealthy men who buy DIXIE SHOES. Men who have a lot of money don’t spent! it foolishly. Just the other way ’round.

They’re careful of what they spend. They want to get the most for every cent. That’s how they “made their pile,” and that’s how they keep it! They know the value of money —and so they know the value of DIXIES! They’ve found that they can wear DIXIE SHOES in the company of sl2 and sls shoes, and nobody will guess that their shoes cost a cent less than the others! And they've found that DIXIES give them perfect satisfaction when it comes to comfort and

THIS city is one of the first in America to receive the new Spring styTes for men. Come in and try them on. You won’t have to buy unless you’re perfectly satisfied.
