Hurlers Don Heavy Garments for Drills Outfielder Clyde Barnhart Reports Three Days Early; Pitcher Frank Mulroney Ordered to Lighten Work by Manager Corriden. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 6.—Business of grooming the Indian battery men is becoming more difficult as the days go by. The wea her again failed the Corridenites Thursday, and although they went through a long drill there was no sunshine and the athletes were compelled to work out in heavy garments. Outfielder Clyde Barnhart joined the training camp party, but passed up practice and rushed away to establish living quarters for his family He said his exercise probably would begin today. The fly chasers are not due officially until Monday, but Barnhart has seme important engagements to fulfill. |
Pitcher Frank Mulroney has been ordered to join Danny Boone and reduce his amount of pitching. He was bothered by a sore arm last season and will not be asked to take a tum on the mound ever day during spring training. Frank and Danny will hurl only every other day and build up their wind and legs while renting their salary wings. Manager corriden is making every effort to conserve and believes the staff will be in sound condition by the time the second squad reports to institute the batting sessions. The biggest part of Thursday’s practic- was in the outfield with the flingers chasing fungo drives. It was a cold day and the Tribe pilot kept the boys on the go every minute. Manager Corriden is eager to increase the training pace, but the weather is against him. Better conditions are ' ~’--d for next week. Jack Vornholt, the Indianapolis sandlotter looks the part of promising; talent after he receives some leagme experience out in the little minors. He uses a free and easy motion. _ The annual Sarasota pageant opened Thursday night and the Indian pastimers spent a busy eveninz viewing the ceremonies and danclnz. Tom Angley of the Tribe backstop department is displaying great form at the bat and his solid drives are a feature of the daily drills at Payne park. A few of the athletes are nursing blisters, but so far the squad has been fortunate in the way of escaping injury.

But before going into these weighty matters, let us consider the plight of poor Russell Alexander, the Hardwood Hasher, who has taken upon himself the great burden of naming a stale champion. After looking over the finals schedule, Aleck believes it will be Greencastle, a dark horse. The upper bracket, which includes such ham and eggers as Muncie, Frankfort. Washington and Logansport, is too tough for a champion, says Alexander, and he thinks the kingfish will come from the cellar flight. Greencastle. says Aleck, is the best of that group. Incidentally, Aleck lives, cats, works, perhaps e;en drinks, in Greencastle. Now we haven’t a thing against Greencastle. In fact, they have a good and powerful team and are going fnli

Suits Bill By United Press Hollywood, March 6. Unlike Bobby Jones, who refuses to use makeup while appearing before the movie camera, William T.

Addition of the fair sex to his picture suits Tilden, he admitted. Tilden’s picture will give him plenty of opportunity to demonstrate the game of tennis, even to slow motion shots, and the plot will be incidental.

Ask Cathedral. Greenfield and others. Or ask Shortridge about the sectional last year. He’s ending his career with the tournaments. ABE REISER. Three cheers for Riggy. He deserves ’em. a a a Speaking of neglected youths, a Peru fan submits the Circus City record for our approval, and it includes but four defeats.

Wildcats. It seems that when a team defeats such outfits as Frankfort. Logansport. Marion. Peru. Anderson and Tech, they deserve some • mention. These Wildcats dropped a 1 game to Muncie (your Muncie) by only 2 points. Bv the looks of your all-state teams, you must have been picking from last year’s tournament. Watcli these Wildcats, old boy. PAUL AND HEFTY. a a a Every time Kokomo is mentioned we think of the words flowing from the mouth of a certain philosophical coach usually not given to wild fancies, to this effect: “Watch Kokomo, young man. If they get a break and start out in front of anybody, they’ll be tough to beat, even in the state.” Incidentally, Kokomo is in that so-called "easy bracket” of the field bouse marathon. a a a H. S-, "a true Manualite,” says a few defeats isn’t going to hurt Manual’s chances in the tournaments. He hopes the red and white boys get a shot at Shortridge before they get knocked off. and if Tech gets to the finals in the other bracket against Manual, well, it’s just too bad for Tech, sez he. He also advises us to look for a certain red head. Paul by name, whom he classes as the best and loudest “rooter” in the city. In closing. he wishes all the other schools luck “if Manual is eliminated.” ana, "You city guys are going to have ta pipe down after Saturday night” or words to that effect, is the message from Shylock of Beech Grove. “You’ll see two county teams swamp the olty schools under nd battle a real brand of basketball in the finals. They’ll be Beech Grove and Southport, and the county champs will carry the old Black and Gold to victory and to the regionals.” That’s something for somebody to worry about. a a a Technical Lilly says Shortridge may be the cream now, but the cream of today is the cheese of tomorrow. In other words, he adds, Shortridge will be selling short. a a a _ _ ~ . ■ _ Anderson. Ind. Dear Backboard: We agree you made a good pick when you named Muncie. But as for Shortridge Lil. coming to Anderson to take a few souvenirs back to the city of sighs and tears, such as fire wagons, stop and go signs, etc., you tell LU we may raise a few objections. Anyhow. who thinks Shortridge is coming to Anderson besides Shortridge? KY AND GEORGE.

Camera Booed After Victory Over Maloney 18,000 See Giant Italian in Tussle With Boston Vets Primo Finishes Strong to Get Referees’ Decision, Despite Loser’s Early Lead, BY JOE COPPS United Pres* SUIT Correspondent MIAMI, Fla., March 6.—Primo Camera, Italy’s biggest, if not most handsome gift to the boxing business, still was in the heavyweight championship picture today as a result of his ten-round decision over Jimmy Maloney, second-rate Boston veteran, at the Madison Square Garden arena here Thursday night. Judging by the boos which greeted referee Elmer (Slim) McClelland’s decision. Camera never would have received the verdict had the spectators (all 18,000 of them) been allowed to vote. The big Italian was jeered from the minute the fight was over until he disappeared from view in his dressing room. Maloney, however, was cheered vociferously, and was borne to his dressing room on admirers’ shoulders
Mnay of those around the ringside were of the opinion that McClelland was unduly influenced by Camera’s strong finish. The Italian, after a sluggish start, won the last three rounds. In the eighth frame he smacked Maloney with two resounding rights to the jaw, the most effective punches of the fight. In the ninth and tenth he drove Maloney to the ropes and got in several hard cracks to the chin. Maloney was most effective in the early rounds when his jab-and-run-away tactics worked to perfection. His jabbing kept his heavier foe from coming in close where the difference in weight would make such a difference, and made Camera miss more than half his shots.
