Lack of hitting power in garden worries corriden

Hoffman Fails to Show Expected Form at Bat; Koeneckc Is Doubtful Tribe Bosses May Be Forced to Seek Two New Fly Chasers; Barnhart Cinches Berth, but Bejma Is Short of A. A. Class; Freigau Reports. BY EDDIE ASH limes Sports Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 29.—Five exhlb.tion games against league oponents have convinced Ind'anapolis spring training camp followers there is not a thing certain about Clarence Hoffman being given permanent posserxson of the centerfield berth. In other words, the former White Sox pastimer is now listed in the minds of the critics as doubtful timber, owing to his failure to come up with sufficient base hits during the preliminary struggles. He has obtained only three hits in twenty times at bat and instead of being counted as a regular from the outset it is evident he will have to fight for his job despite brilliant fielding skill.

Not always do good hitters find their stride in spring training, but in the case of Hoffman, it has been noted he looks in the peak physi-

cally and therefore his .150 batting average is just that much more of a puzzle. He thinks he will make the grade eventually, and is doing everything asked In an effort to accomplish that end. While Manager Corriden has yet to give the once over to his new third sacker, Howard Freigau. past records indicate the

player bought from Buffalo will deliver up to expectations, and it is the Tribe pilot’s plan to use the new member in at least part of Sunday’s game here with the Columbus Senators. West Coast Star If Freigau lives up to the form he formerly displayed in the American Association, the Indian infield will be set and Corriden thereupon will switch his attention to the outfield. Clyde Barnhart has the left field berth won and Len Koenecke has boosted his stock so far. although th-- old question mark hangs over him, which also goes for Hoffman and Bejma, the big disappointment j to date, of course, being Hoffman, who was a star in the Pacific oCast League before the White Sox purchased him and then optioned him to Indianapolis. The rangy youths patting form has not met wtih the Shproval of men familiar with IHnerican Asosciation baseball. WLt Hoffman falls down at the Site, the Tribe bosses will face the ®sk and expense of going out on fie trial of another fly chasffr of fi-atting power. Furthermore, on I p of that danger, Koenecke may : mil Into a slump and go by the /Joards the same way he went last Jear, which would give the Indians Another problem of searching for wo new gardeners. Catchers Satisfactory The fourth outfielder in camp. I Ollie Bejma, while showing improvement. has been labelled as short of American Association class as a regular. The catching staff pleases Corriden and he sees no cause for alarm at present over his mound department. for his flingers delivered as a ■whole above spring style in four of the five contests played.

Sliaun Goilin Wins British Race; \ ankee Horse Third Three U. S.-Owned Jumpers Among Five Finishers in Gruelling Event: Victor Pays 100 to 8.

taking his shower after the game. We'd kid him a lot about the Irish in baseball, and when Charley would start to sing some

one would always start naming all the other non-Irish fellows who had been stars of the game. Charley hasnt been singing so much lately and there s a reason. The Irish who used to just about run the game are giving way to a lot of other nationalities and baseball is becoming a game in which there are men from every section of the world. I never realized just how much the different nationalities were getting into the game until the other day when we were punching the bag with Bucky Harris in training camp. Talking about his ball club, Bucky happened to mention that there were fifteen different nationalities reuresented on the Tigers, including one native-born Indian. That got some of’ the rest of us to checking up and durned if there are not a lot of nationalities represented on most every club in the majors.

Take the Yankees for instance. 1 we’ve got Germans, Irish, Danes, Italians, Norwegians, Swedes, Span- ! ish, English, Swiss and Lithuanian players—not to mention old time Americans. And the Yankees are no different than the other clubs. It used to be that the O Learys, the Kellys, the McGraws. the Tennvs, and Clancys and names like that made up most of the box scores. Nowadays there are as many Swedish and German players as there are Irish, and as many Italians and Portugese and Swiss and English as there are Swedish and German. ! The answer of course is that kids j of foreign born parents pick up baseball as fast as they do English. And what used to be strictly an Amer- . lean game is becoming av, oild Aids in Americanization I was talking to a school teacher one day and he said to me that he considered baseball one of the best things in the world to make good American citizens. He pointed out that at the high school where he taught fully 75 per cent of the kids were children of foreign parents, many of whom didn't even speak English. Baseball, he said, and I believe him, made the common meeting ground for all of them. He pointed out that once a kid got out there on the diamond it didn’t make any difference what nationality he was or who his parents were. So long as he could play the game he was aces up with all the others. t . . The point, however, I started to bring out was that every big league club has a variety of nationalities, and that's another thing which will help make baseball a great game. You know how all the Italians crowd to a six-day bike race in New York to cheer the Italian riders. Well, the same thing is true in baseball. The minute Tony Lazzeri, for instance, came to New York —it made a lot of Italian baseball fans there. And all the other people are the same way. A French player makes French fans. A German player makes German fans, and between the lot of them they're making more and more fans every day. Baseball Not Slipping A lot of people say baseball is sliping. They say there isn't the interest in the game there used to be. That's all wrong. I get around quite a bit in a year, and I see moie sandlot and corner street games going on today than I ever did. More people ar- playing and more people are interested than ever before. But about that league of nations team. Here’s the one we’ve got on the Yankees, and I guess it will stand until somebody else tops it: Bill Karlon is Lithuanian and Lou Gehrig is German; Tony Lazzeri is Italian; Mark Koenig is Swiss and George Pipgrass is Danish. Art Jorgens is Norwegian and Jimmy Reese is Jewish. Charley O'Leary is Irish and Lou McEvoy is Scotch. Vernon Gomez is Spanish and Van Pelt is of Dutch stock. Hoyt is of English parentage and Bubble Hargrave is Welch. I guess that’s an all nations layout all right, and every j other big league club can do almost as well.

The battle between the Link Belt of Chicago and the local Link Belt, turned out to be a route, the Chicago team being unable to compete with the locals, after they found their stride.. Going into the tenth frame of the first game four down, Indianapolis team members tossed in a flock of strikes to win by eleven pins. This was a close as Chicago ever came to the lead, and garr.es of 998, 971, 959 and 987 gave Indians a five game total of 4,773 to Chicago’s 4,302, an advantage of 470 pins. Mathews led the way for the locals in spite of two fouls, scoring a total of 1,001 for an average of 200 1-5 pins per game. Greenlee was best for the visitors, with a five-game count of 894. A crowd that filled every available nook was present and after the third game, began to root for Chicago to win at least one game, but they were too busy telling each other how lucky the local boys were, to get any wood for themselves. Mathews sure had his strike pill working and the two fouls called, were mighty close. With the added counts Stut would have rolled a 1,050 total. The outstanding feature was the local team's ability to bunch their strikes whenever they needed them. Reiter, the lead off of the visitors was the unlucky boy. taps breaking up a string of strikes on several different occasions. Williams of the Windy City club was the chief "song bird.” And as is usually the case, had no reason whatever to sing. As an illustration his last game in which he scored 147 was made up of five strikes and five errors. The two teams left for the Indianapolis A. C. after the match and enjoyed a banquet prepared for them. Next year the match will be roiled In Chicago again. Indianapolis has won the last two matches, having taken the Chicago boys on their own drives a year ago.
