FOUR TRIBESMEN ABSENT AS SPRING TRAINING STARTS

Corriden Orders Daily Sessions Lasting Three Hours; Sicking Arrives Indian Manager Delighted With Form Shown by Hildebrand. Former Butler Mound Star; Crouse, New Catcher, Instructs Rookie Batterymen. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor

SARASOTA, Fla., March 4.—Arrivals overnight In the spring training camp of the Indians were Second Baseman Sicking, Pitchers Claude Jonnard, mainstay righthander: Gene Jones. Nebraska State League rookie, and Catcher Jesse Blanton, Kentucky semi-pro. The latest check-

up recorded four pastimers absent, including Outfielders Hoffman and Koenecke, Catcher Lorber and Pitcher Ambrose. With sufficient athletes on hand to form a workins force. Manager Corriden put Into effect the regular training routine, beginning at 10 o'clock and lasting until 1. The three-hour drill will be strenuous on tfco field and after lunch the boysjiave been instructed to do some light exercising rather than idle away the remaining hours. Some will hike, others will golf and when the weather warms up the beach will get a strong play from the swimmers. The second day in camp broke clear and crisp, but with the sunshine out early striving to win back Florida's reputation for heat. Sarasota itself was putting up gav decorations in advance of a huge paseant

“big league.” . _ . The more stylish are beginning to appear dressed in striped knickers when off the field and it's difficult to recognize some of the youths when they go promenading. Manager Corriden expressed keen satisfaction over the first workout Monday and is convinced he is directing a squad of spirited hustlers. Johnny was delighted with the form displayed by Oral Hildebrand, former Butler university hurler, and the tall flinger has been turned over to Catcher Clyde Crouse for personal coaching in the art of delivery off the mound. Veterans Enthusiastic Hilde apparently is well along in pitching style and the veterans on the Tribe roster are enthusiastic over his prospects. Every pitcher in camp took a turn on the mound for batting practice Monday and it was necessary to caution the rookies frequently to prevent sore arms. Catcher Crouse is going to be an important lieutenant for Manager Corriden and Is sure to help the rookie batterymen. The veteran from the White Sox talks baseball constantly, hustles every minute and seldom passes up an opportunity to lend assistance to Iris boss. May Acquire Fielder With the announcement that Wid Matthews will not be with the Indians this year, there is going to be a hot battle for the third outfield position and it's a good guess another fly chaser of experience and batting power will be obtained unless Koenecke or Bejma come through with unexpected form. All American Association clubs have waived on Matthews and efforts are under way to sell him out of the league. The Indian bosses want a heavy hitter in every outfield post.

the Cubs’ regular lineup at third base. Charley Grimm at first. Rogers Hornsby at second and Woody English at shortstop complete the infield. Clyde Beck and Clarence Blair are the other infielders, besides the rookies, Jones and Jurgess, who probably will be farmed out. Four of the nine new pitchers are likely to stick. They are: A1 Shealy, who had a trial with the Yankees last season: Lynn Nelson, rated one of the best pitchers in the American Association last year; Malcolm Moss, a southpaw who cost the Cubs a lot of money and who is a better pitcher than his i-ecord indicates, and Bud Teachout, a promising young southpaw from Indianapolis. Lautenbacher was recalled from reading but he had a bad year. McAfee was considered one of the best Big Ten hurlers, but orobably needs more experience. Bell and Warneke are apt to be sent back to the minors. The veteran pitchers are Blake, Bush, Carlson. Malone, Root, Osborn and Grampp. Danny Taylor, considered one of the greatest outfield prospects of recent years, is back for another trial after a great year with Read-

ing. As the Cubs have only four | other outfielders—Cuyler, Wilson, ! Stephenson and Heathcote—Taylor \ is likely to see a lot of action. The veteran catchers are Gabby j Hartnett, whose arm is said to have : recovered, Zach Taylor and John I Schulte.
