BBS When the parlor chit chat runs in “grands,” “palookas.’ “work* and "the business,” and the daily run of callers range from big jow led politicians to hespatted Beau Brummels with larcenous tendencies, it requires an unusual personality to deal with the job. b n a AND SUCH A GENTLEMAN IS FRANCIS ALBERTANTI.

Two More Exhibition Conflicts Remain Before Tribe Arrives Here. DROP ONE TO MONTREAL Play Cincy Reds Here Next Wednesday. BY I Dim; ASH Time* Sports Editor ABOARD ROYAL PALM, EN ROUTE NORTH, April s.—Two more games remain on the Indians’ barn-storming tour before they land at the home park and settle down for five exhibition tilts with two big league clubs to top off the 1929 spvipg training grind. Ken Penner will pitch against the Quincey Three-I Leaguers at Paducah Saturday and the journey wili be concluded at Springfield, 111., Sunday. Washington park fans will see their favorites in practice action at the Tribe playground Monday morning at 11 o'clock and the rooters are going to be looking at an assemblage of sun-tanned pastimers, with some of the boys having the copper color of real Indians. On Long Trek North The athletes scooted out of the Sunshine State late Thursday night on the long trek north and today’s business was confined to Pullman car conversation, reading and card games. In fact it was the only off-day some of the players had since donning uniforms in Sarasota several weeks ago. The Florida stay wound up in Daytona Beach Thursday, where the American Association champions took on Montreal of the International League on a sandy field j and got nosed out. 7 to 6, in seven j innings of pastiming. the contest I being shortened to allow the Betzel- j ites to catch a late afternoon train for Jacksonville, where connections were made for the north.

Indians Make Three Errors The Royals got the breaks by | escaping the error column whereas three Indian miscues proved disastrous by paving the way for Montreal runs. Manager Betzel tried his Pacific Coast League battery of j Teachout and Sprinz and it was apj parent both men need more work | under firej The young southpaw from Seattle j had two raw innings. The first and ! the sixth and he was taken out with ! one down in the seventh, which was i the last stanza. Two runners were on base, second | and first, and the score knotted at six and six when Osborn took up j the pitching. Conley was retired on : a long fly to Matthews without the ! runners advancing and then Nieberj gall sent an ordinary bounder to Warstler, who had an easy out at j second, but Connolly was slow 7 in j covering and the rabbit was forced j ro throw to first, and the toss went I wild, permitting Gulley to race home from second with what proved the winning run. Osbern retired the next batter on an easy roller. Despite the setback in their final i exhibition in Florida there was much rejoicing over the punch the Indians produced, especially Reb Russell and Pete Monahan, who ! each poled home runs and singles. The Daytona Beach park has no fence and, both Tribe circuit pokes were far beyond the heads of the : Montreal fly chasers. Russell

Happy Branch.

FIVE bouts are scheduled for the boxing card to be staged by the Eleventh District Red Men's organization at Cadle tabernacle tonight. In the main event, Jack (Chief) Elkhart, Chicago. will oppose Nick Mario, Ft. Worth, Tex. They are middleweights. The supporting card to the Mario-Elkhart scrap promises some real action with local boys predominating. Happy

crashed his after two out in the fifth, Warstler scratched a single and then Monahan followed with a mighty swat to deep right. Indianapolis collected eleven safeties, the same as Montreal. The Royals pilfered three sacks on Sprinz. two of them coming on a double steal, one runner scoring. Joe’s arm is not quite strong enough for a real test, and, like Teachout, it will be necessary for him to see more game action before the A. A. campaign gets under way. A better line will be obtained on everybody when the Indians tackle the Cincy Reds at Washington park next Wednesday and Thursday and the White Sox April 12, 13 and 14. At any rate, much depends on the throwing skill of this new receiver. St n it Getting two hits and walk in four tries Thursday put some more fat on the swatting average of Pete Monahan and his fist-basing is right up to the mark of class. pan Russell nearly undressed the opposing pitcher with a hot drive in the seventh, but the hurler recovered in time to get the Rebel at first. It was difficult running in the sand and on Russell's homer in the fifth the veteran ran out of steam after passing third and the remainder of the way was like climbing a hill.

B B B The Indians won one. lost one and tied one with Rochester: won one. lost one, and dropped another by forfeit with Buffalo when an umpire got chesty, and the single clash with Montreal was a defeat. B B B Boss Betzel has been asking more out of his pitchers than other clubs. However, with the idea in mind of having them at full power for early A. A. conflicts. Pitcher Hauser and Infieluer McElroy, both rookies, will be turned over to Quincy at Paducah, Saturday. B B B Pitcher Earl Daniels said farewell at Deland and he almost was hi tears as the squad departed without him. He hopes to catch on with a team in the Southeastern League.
