Indian Pastimers Break Camp; To Arrive in City Monday. PLEASED WITH SITE Perry Pastimers Hope to Return Next Spring. . BY EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., April 3. Moving out of spring training camp at Sarasota this morning after several glorious w on ks, the Indians were in Plant City today to tangle with the Rochester International League team for the first stop on a barnstorming tour that will Keep the American Association charrr n the road until April 8, the date set fc the Perry Pastimers to reach the home park at Indianapolis. The last day in spring camp at Sarasota Tuesday was voted the best of all as the players exercised under a toiling sun and orked until they were exhausted. The thriving city on the gulf proved the gem of training camps for the athletes and thf e is not a sore arm on the sq”ad and most of the club members are ready now for the start of the championship race in the A. A. Matthews Has Bad "and Outfielder Wid Matthews is the lone member of the party bothered by an injury and his bruised hand came from too much batting practice when he reporilate. Since late in February the boys have been at it and on only one day wa. : the weather too balky for regular work, and even on that one bad day some of the rookies went out and practiced between light showers. The athletes were delighted with the Sarasota camp, the weather and recreation advantages and the club bosses feel sure now the Indians will be invited to return in 1930 if a Ir league team does not cut in. Opposing the Tribesmen in Plant City today were the Red Wings of Rochester, who lost to the Betzelites in the “little world’s series” last fall. The teams met twice previously this spring with each club taking a game.

Schupp on Mound Ferd Schupp, veteran southpaw, was to start on the Tribe mound in the struggle this afternoon, for Manager Betzel has an idea he may call on Ferd to hurl the opening A. A. game against Milwaukee in Indianapolis April 16 if the Brewers show up with a bunch of left-handed hitters. The high spot of Tuesday’s workout in Sarasota was the terrific batting of Pete Monahan, first sacker who sent a few drives far over the right-field fence. He also crashed some line drives to right center and easily led the boys in stick work during the long drill. The former Rochester pastimer has been coming fast recently in allaround development and according to his own statement this has been the best spring of his career. Pete has hustled hard since his first day in camp and has not an ounce of extra weight on his agile frame. His skill in coming up with low throws has inspired confidence in the other infielders and they readily admit the fact. tt tt tt Following the contest with Rochester in Plant City today the Indians will journey to the Florida east coast to battle Montreal of the Interr -nial League at Daytona Beach Thursday. It will be the final tilt in Florida for the Hoosiers. tt tt a THE INDIANS' OFFICIAL GOODBY TO SARASOTA WAS MADE AT AN ELKS’ FROLIC TUESDAY NIGHT AND NO ONE MISSED BEING PRESENT. tt tt tt It is rumored the Buffalo Club has made several propositions to the Indians in an effort to land Herman Layne, but so far Bill Clymer has failed to interest the Tribe Dosses.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Babe Ruth Says: ‘l'm After .500 Mark for My Career as Slugger.’

lid V Cii L * you have—maybe not as much. I'm going to hit as many as I can. That s the best answer I can give. , ... But there's one thing I want friends to get straight. I don t caie halt as much about home runs as I do about winning ball games and even though a lot of people may not believe it, Id rather get a single that ms the ball game than to get three home runs in a game w e lose. Don’t misunderstand me. I like to hit home runs. Its my b e and butter. But the point I'm trying to make is tha* there is a lot more in baseball than simply slamming the bah over the fence, and it takes more than a home run now and then to win a pennant oi a woi.ds series.

Ever since I've been in baseball, or rather since I’ve turned into an outfielder, I've had one big ambition. That is to hit 500 home runs during my big league career. Unless I 1 all down very badly, I’ll pass the 500 mark this coming season. I have only a few to go—less than 30, I believe, and when I hit my five hundredth home run I believe I will have established one mark that will last long, long after Babe Ruth is out of baseball and forgotten. A lot of people keep asking me if I think there ever will be another hitter who will hit more home runs than I do. That, too, is a foolish sort of question. I really don’t know. Every ball player, of course, hopes that he can establish a mark that no other ball player ever will top. I’m no different than the rest. Frankly, now that I have almost assured myself of my 500 goal in home runs there are some other records I'd like to attain. I’d like, once during my big league career’ to hit over .400 for the season—and maybe establish anew batting average for the boys to shoot at. Even more than that, however, I'd like to set anew mark for runs driven in. I thought I had that one nailed to the mast until two years ago and then Lou Gehrig came

CAMPUS COMMENT

OF the hundreds of thousands of college athletes who have competed on varsity teams in recent years we have had three or four who have come out after their competition was over with a statement deploring our college athletic systems. First there was Owens of Harvard, then Burrus of Wisconsin, and now Hanson, star athlete of Hamline University. The comments of all are about in the same vein. The last chap. Hanson, was especially critical of the desire to win on the part of the football teams and condemned the brutality of the Minnesota-Miclii-gan game in 1927. He condemned

FT. WORTH, Tex., April 3.—At the beginning of every season, hundreds of my friends always ask me the same question: “How many home runs are you going to hit this year? Os course, the whole thing is foolish. I haven’t any more idea about my home runs than

along and busted my record all to pieces. And let me make a little prediction right here. Before he's finished with big league baseball, Lou Gehrig is likely to shatter a lot of batting marks that everyone thought were unbeatable. Frankly I don’t think Lou ever will beat my season mark for home runs. He isn't quite the type of hitter to do it. But I do look for him to set anew high mark for runs driven in—and if there’s a man in the league who has a chance to tie me on life-time home runs record. Lou is that boy. And more power to him if he can do it. If my record is to be broken then I hope some member of the Yankee ball club does the breaking, and it anyone is going to do it, I hope it is Lou. He’s a great kid, and a great pal of mine. Somehow I feel a sort of personal interest in ail he does. I don’t know whether I've answered that home run question or not—or whether I've made myself clear. I have a little trouble sometimes telling just what I mean. But I've tried to answer it. I'm going to do the best I can. (Copyright, 1929, by The Times)

the alleged consumption of liquor that followed Minnesota's victory. He saiqt that while an athlete was going well he is “the Mussolini of the campus” and yet all this praise is temporary and superficial. When the season ends the praise vanishes. Hanson is president of lvis class at Hamline and this criticism was made in winning a Hamline oratorical contest. Several hundreds of thousands of athletes have testified that they have enjoyed athletics for the most part and that they have derived many worth while benefits. This, however, is not news. To break into print on a college campus apparently a student must bite a dog, he must discuss sex, birth control or deplore the present college athletic system. In choosing a subject for his oratorical contest Captain Hanson of Hamline chose the latter. Whether he had in mind that this might endear him to the taculty it is hard to say. While I am not a betting man, I willingly will wager an ice cream cone that five years from now Hanson will have entirely changed his point of view. I know this was so in the case of Burrus of Wisconsin. This young man who played end on the football team and rowed on the crew made similar statements at Wisconsin some years ago. Asa matter of fact Burrus came to Wisconsin a stripling, weighing 160 lbs., and when he graduated he was in fine physical health and weighed about 185 lbs. Some time after he graduated Burrus admitted that he was all wrong and that properly controlled college athletics very distinctly are worth while. (Copyright. 1929. bv The Times!
