BURWELL IS TRIBE HOLDOUT; HURLER MAY BE TRADED

Showers Fail to Halt Initial Drills in South

Corriden Sends Hoosiers Through Hefty Workout, and Will Apply Pressure Today; Pitcher George Smith From Boston Shows Promise. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sport* Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 3.—Burwell Is a holdout. In fact, he went if j 8 Monday w hen Johnny Corriden’s Tribe batterymen gathered on the damp and heavy greensward at the local ball lot to inaugurate spring raining for the new diamond campaign in the American Association.

Bill didn’t show up and it is understood there will be in early powwow of Indian club officials to dispose of the matter. There is a deal on the fire and the veteran Ight-handed pitcher may be sent elsewhere in exchange for other talent. The club bosses say Burwell has failed to realize there is a business depression abroad in the land. Bill is the oldest player In point of sendee on the Hoosier roster, and it was reported during the early winter that he had accepted terms for 1931. Evidently the hitch that developed was figured as a minor matter, but It grew in importance Monday when he ducked out with Byron Speece, former Indian now with Newark, and kept many miles away from the Tribe’s spring ball park. The absence of Burwell on the lot failed to curb Manager Corriden, however, and he sent the pitchers and catchers through a hefty workout late in the day

after the rain spent itself. Showers fell all morning and until early afternoon, when the sky cleared and Manager Corriden hustled his pastimers into their uniforms and sent them through a drill of about one hour and thirty minutes. The diamond was soft and the boys confined their practice to tossing the ball around and chasing flyballs in the outfield and winding up with jogs around the park. It was too damp and chilly to risk further work. The old pressure will be put on today, according to Manager Corriden, and there will be batting and position fielding by the pitchers as well as sprints to im- 1 prove legs and wind. Pitcher George Smith, formerly, of the Boston Red Sox, was impressive in his first drill. He stands ! six feet one inch and weighs 185. Mike Cvenjrros, the mainstay southpaw of last year’s mound staff, reported underweight. Ho locks about ten pounds off. Ilfs orders are to eat plenty, sleep plenty and retire to the clubhouse before bo becomes too warm. President Norman A. Perry took in the opening practice and planned to h3 on hand again today before going to Indianapolis for a. week or more, with Mrs. Perry. There wasn’t enoujh drill Monday to j rive an observer a rood shot at the quality | of the talent. Inflelders and outfielders j are not due la camp for several days and j the new style ball was not used Monday. ! Manager Corriden doesn’t care to eiperi- i ment with It until the real hitters rcpqrT Burwell. the holdout, and pitchers Frank Mulrooney and Herman Hoishouser were the absentees during the opening practice. Hoishouser arrived, but too late for work. Catchers Johnny Biddle and Tom Angley are read for heavy assignments. They kept In shape durinr the off season. Riddle has an abundance of pepper. Bill Andrus, the second sacker purchased from Selma of the Southern League, mingled with the battery men along with Pete Monahan, veteran first sacker. It is said the doubt surrounding Andrus is his throwing arm. Information on his wing will be given later. Pitcher Danny Boone, released last year, is on hand showing promise.

Matchmaker Tom McCardle of the garden to the waterboys, has been summoned to the commisison’s meeting. All will be given an opportunity to express their views of the bout which ended in a fourthround knockout by Petrolle and sent the customers into the night wild with excitement. The long finger of suspicion is pointed at the fight for several reasons, but principally because of the sudden and last minute shift in the betting odds. As the preliminaries started, Tut was being quoted at even money and 6 to 5. By the time the two principals climed through the ropes Petrolle had been installed as an 8 to 5 favorite. Belief that there might be something phoney about Tut’s knockout was strengthened by the action of i*he Minnesota boxing commission and the National boxing association.

Three Teams Share All-State Honors BY VERN BOXELL Frankfort, Muncie and Washington, “big three” of Hoosier basketball and leading contenders for the interscholastic title, shared honors on The Times’ annual pre-tcurney all-state team today, each placing two men on the first team. Logansport and Newcastle each gained one position. An abundance of exceptional guards made the 1930-31 selections a difficult proposition. Four brilliant forwards, Thompson and Lawhead of Frankfort, Davidson of Muncie and Heavenridge of Washington, are standouts and worthy of first-team recognition. Heavenridge was selected over Lawhead due to his flashy work in several important contests.

Mann of Muncie and DeJernett of Washington, dusky warriors who topped the center crop last season, again are honored. Rowe and Elser also showed flashes of brilliancy, but were not consistent. All of the guards named on the first three teams would be welcomed by any coach. Charley Meade, Logansports husky ace, is the best of a brilliant group of floor guards, with Shaver, elongated Frankfort captain, a close second. Huffman of Newcastle is one of the outstanding backguards of recent years. Icerman, who scored twenty-two points for the Bearcats last Friday, also has lived up to the all-state recognition given him in the state tourney last season, while Linville and Ennis were high in the Hoosier constellation last season. Cottom, tall and speedy Wiley of Terre Haute guard, also is a topnotch pastimer, while Kamstra of Jeff has been a, star in every game the dark horse contenders have played. Underwood of Franklin is a backguard who shines on both offense and defense with Filzzy Vandiver’s oufit. Athough several local pastimers turned in good records, none merited first team recognition. Berns and Edwards were considered for center assignments. The former, although a stellar defensive performer, lacked the offensive ability of the players selected, while Edwards, a sophomore, needs polish and lacks consistency. He has promise of a brilliant future. Bunnell of Tech also rates high. If the writer were to select a starting line-up from the above first team, Thompson and Davidson would get the forward assignments, De Jemett would take over ‘the pivot duties, with Meade and Huffman holding down the guard berths.
