Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

WINTER HAVEN, Fla., March 15. YOUR peregrinating correspondent today enjoyed a startling ; ensation born of an amazing discovery. He wandered into this camp of the Phillies expecting to find the axne old somnolence, the ancient Philly complacency, the resignation and feeling of defeat which ior years had been the accepted pattern ior spring existence among the Bake 1chattels. * * But the somnolence and the eompiai„enmy were gone, and In their places your •rendering troubadour Jound evidences of fe and hopefully as demonstrative and mie aa those which had bourgeoned in •he camps of the more arstocratlc Yankees and Athletics. They were physical and mental outcroppings which Indicated a strong Insistence among the Phillies that thy were "going somewhere.” BUB Your baseball tourist felt very much as did Rip Van Winkle when he returned from the mountains after twenty years of reported sleep end. whet mav have been more arcurstr. conviviality with the boys around the bowling alley a a a The hang-dog lads around the Pbi!l> baseball tavern were gone. Squire Doolittle was missing from the outfield. Burt Shotton proved a most lively host, talking a strange argot for a Philly manager. He kept mentioning the first division in terms of perfect familiarity. He predicted startling uprising by his men—an even bigger punch than they boasted n 1921), backed by improved pitching and even more elegant fielding. can ••'jtyl'Y men know now that they IVI have power, and that they are as good as anybody else in the league,” vociferated Shotton. ‘‘You know that psychology is a tremendous force in baseball. No team is any stronger than it thinks it is. No player is any better than he gives himself credit for being. Well, we know that we’re pretty good, and that’s going to mean a lot right from the start. Give us better pitching and we will—well, give us better pitching and come around and see me in September. caa “Last year some of us may have had the feeling that it was too good to be true, and that our dream would bust right in our faces any day,” Shotton resumed. "But we came home fifth, and should have been higher. Last spring I put the soft pedal on conversation here in camp. I didn’t know just where we were going, I knew we were headed for better days, but went around with my fingers crossed. a a u "Now I can take off the lid. and tell you "> go the limit. This club of ours is the ■irongest offensive outfit in our league. It lias a lot of ociensive class, too. Who has better second baseman than Thompson, who a better third sacker than Whitnev? Hate them down the line, and then comj. re with the best in the circuit, aau OF course, pitching is very important. We found that out lust year. But I have a hunch that Mexander will mean a lot to us, that Willoughby and Benge will win more games, that some of our new men will benefit from the psychology around here. In the past, I will admit that coming to the Phillies was no strawberry festival for a young hurler. n b a But who cin give a pitcher better support with runs than he can get right here? The last prop ha* bern kicked from under the hurlcr's alibi. If a pitcher can't go for us. ho couldn’t go for any other outfit in our circuit. "In other words, this club of mine is the dark horse of baseball, and if you’re a gambler with a liking for long shots, go the limit. There is no telling what (he Fhillies of 1930 will achieve.” naa Spying Aleck, looking as young, almost, it- he did back in the years when he was winning for the Phillies, your wandering expert pinched himself to see if he were r.ot dreaming. a a a AT this writing Chuck Klein of Indianapolis, the forty-three home run hero of 1929 had not yet made his peace wi’h Will Baker, and Shotton made some remarks about Hurst in the outfield. But that’s strictly applesauce. Klein will sign, as they always do and I hope he gets something more than the SB,OOO he is reported to have been offered. a a a There's something startlingly ' disproportionate between the 36-year-old Ituth at SBO,OOO and this surprisingly newcomer at even SIO,OOO. 'I he Kleins of baseball should get high encouragement, ' even from clubs like the Phillies.

CLAUDE JONNARD LOOMS AS ACE OF TRIBE HURLERS

Frankfort and Anderson Rally in Last Half to Capture Night Contests Central (Ft. Wayne) and Greencastle Force Winners at Top Speed; Favorites Survive First Round Battles Without Exception; Capacity Crowds Attend. Thrilling contests in which favorites were forced to the limit in nearly every encounter featured the first round of play in the nineteenth annual Indiana high school championship basket tourney at Butler fieldhouse Friday. With the possible exception of the first tilt, in which the Washington Hatchets tumbled Martinsville, popular favorites came through unscathed. Washington was a favorite with the experts, but the Artesians were a popular choice with the rans to go to the finals. The crowd that always cheers the dark horse, was in evidence at the fieldhouse Friday night, pulling for Central of Ft, Wayne and Greencastle, against Frankfort and Anderson, respectively.

The Ft. Wayne quintet, led by Stretch Lyons, elongated Negro ace ; stepped into an early lead in their battle with the defending champions and were in front at the half, 13 !to 9. The Casemen came back in the second half with their puzzling delayed offense and swept into the lead, holding a commanding 31 to 19 advantage at the final gun. Connect on Free Throws Although Thompson, Shaver and ! Unroe led in scoring, Lawhead and Locke also played brilliantly for the winners, while Lyons, Buggs and Himelstein were outstanding for Ft. Wayne. Frankfort made good on thirteen of fifteen free throw attempts to cinch the game. Anderson also was forced to come from behind in their encounter with Greencastle. The Indians won out in the closing minutes of the battle, 27 to 23, after leading 15 to 12 at the half. Coach Staggs opened his bag of tricks in the last part of the final period, after the Tiger Cubs had taken a temporary advantage at the start. Crisler and Butler had their basket eyes in shape and were successful in long attempts, while Hunt and Van Dyke, husky center and guard, were sent crashing under the nets for points. Wood played a consistent floor game. Tobin, Ellis and G. Crawley were best for the losers. Martinsville Inaccurate Inability on the part of Martinsville to hit the loop and superior play by Dejernet, big Negro center, and Englehart, flashy forward, figured in the Washington 20 to 14 victory over, the Artesians in the tourney opener Friday, The largest crowd ever to witness an opening tipoff, more than 13,000 was on hand, and they remained on hand throughout the day and night games, being augmented at night by the capacity crowd of ticket holders. Dugger looked good for a little while but "Fuzzy” Vandivier got his gang into action and Lloyd and Daugherty began sniping field baskets that gave Franklin a 34-19 victory. Delphi pulled away from Kokomo after a close first half. Moore, classy Oracle floor guard, was deadly from the foul line and Perigo looped in enough field markers to count a 28-17 triumph. Salem showed power as they led Connersville 14-10 at the half but the Gansert-Gwin-Ridge combination got busy in the last half to grind out a 25-18 victory. Tucker was the hot shot of the down state team. Two Thrilling Games La Porte and Kendallville staged the first big thriller of the day which ended 21-19 in La Porte’s favor. The Slicers held a 13-6 edge at half time, but the Kendallville team pulled up to the tying point but were unable to hold on. This was followed by even a greater thriller staged by Goshen and Muncie. The Goshen team led, 13-12, at half time and were out in front a couple of time in the last half through some superior basket shooting by Fobes and Kyle. Swift and Icerman were the aces of the Muncie attack, and just before the close of the game Swift put the winning tosses, the high and long variety, through the meshes, for a 30-23 win. Fobes shot eight times from the field and connected seven times, for an average of .889.

Lower California, Mexico, sometime in May for a bout in Chicago. Close friends of the former heavyweight champion said he had decided to return to the ring in his own club at Chicago this fall.

But under Donie Bush, the White Sox are bound to be the most improved ball club in our circuit.

Vet Hopes to Be Best in League Big Right-Hander Does Double Duty at Indian Camp. BY EDDIE ASH limes Sports 1 diior SARASOTA. Fla., March 15. Claude Jonnard doesn't mean maybe when he says his aim is to be one ot the leading pitchers ot the American Association during the impending campaign and the way the tall hurler is going about buriness in the spring training camp of the Indians indicates it's a good bet the veteran right-hander will be the ace flinger of the Tribe staff. Some of the throwers look fast out there on mound in daily batting drill until Jonnard takes his turn, and after he gets warmed up, the others appear slow. Claude shot the sphere off the hillock with dazzling speed and does it every day. Manager Corriden does not ask the pitchers to propell the horsehide every day for a long stretcli to the swatters, but. Jonnard put in a request for a daily turn and the Tribe pilGt lost no time in granting it. Added to that exertion, Claude also takes long runs and hits to the outfield or infield at odd times to condition himself further for the struggles to come. He doesn't have to be told and. his energetic spirit naturally spreads to the whole mound staff and has a tendency to cause other hurlers to hustle. Claude was slightly overweight at the start of spring training, but constant labor has removed the surplus and the rangy flinger is now concentrating on improving the endurance of his arm. Asa matter of fact, no one would be far wrong in making the prediction that Jonnard will be nominated to pitch the opening game of the season against Kansas City at Indianapolis April 15. Countless batters in the Association do not care a whole lot about trifling with his speed. He won six games and lost five for the Indians after coming down from the Chicago Cubs last year and not all of the games charged against him were due to faulty pitching. SARASOTA, Fla., March 14.—’The Indians were to open their exhibition schedule today by playing host to the House of Da rid nine, a traveling outfit of young, long-whis-kered pastimers. The teams also will battle Sunday. Boone, Hildebrand and Hall or Walter Wolfe were slated to toss the sphere for the Corriden crew this afternoon. a a t Bucky Harris, Detroit Tigers, will invade .Sarasota Monday to battle the Tribesmen and the appearance of the famous members of that big league club is expected to attract fans from ail over Sarasota county and nearby winter resorts. It will supply the first opportunity to see how the Indians stack up against real class. a B tt There was no sunshine Friday but that disappointment failed to prevent the Tribesmen doing their daily chores. Oliie Bejma, young fly chaser, pleased the bosses with his hitting. It was his best performance of spring and proved hard work Is getting results. However, the youthful South Bender seems short of the class demanded in the American Association. 808 LEN KOENECKE gave another exhibition of high-powered hitting and catcher Lorbccr also encouraged the camp followers. Catcher Crouse failed to do so well and during infield practice his throws were short and he retired early to have his arm doctored. The veteran evidently let out too much a few days ago. Lorbeer and Sprinz are not bothered by ailments of the salary whip. B tt B Koer.icke is making a courageous struggle to overcome his wca'-me '• again l ’, low and inside pitching and on several Instances. Friday checked M- stride ad wlialcd the low offering. Bill Bi'weiis change of pace and control baffled him, however. B n a Mike Cvengros gave the hitlers something to purzie over when he turned on the juice Triday and his dfsplay of hurling was among the day's features. His assortment caused the rsilbirds to group in the grandstand directly In line with the batting cage. tt b a The Tribe athletes faced two sessions today, one in the morning and the other when they played the House of David club in the afternoon.
