BONURA LIKELY TO TAKE OVER TRIBE FIRST BASE DUTIES

Rookie Shows Class at Bat and in Field Curt Walker, Former Cincy Red Slugger, Gets Down to Hard Work First Day in Camp and Wins Praise of Hoosier Officials, Players. BT EDDIE ASH Time* Spsrts Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 10.—Impressive performances by Henry Bonura, Curt Walker and Bill Narlesky featured the spring training drill of Johhn Corrlden's Indians Monday and early signs Indicate that Bonura, the New Orleans Italian, will make good as a slugger and first sacker to replace Pete Monahan, who has held down the Initial sack for the Tribesmen the past two years. Big Henry steps around with ease and the question of his ability o field the position has been removed. Moreover, he looks great at 'he plate and has a splendid voice to help along the Infield pepper. The -ans back home are going to approve his style and type. New Orleans paperi have wired for information on Bonura’s progress and it Is evident he Is a real somebody In the old home town.

Curt Walker celebrated hls demotion to minor league baseball by entering Into action in the manner of a rookie. He has no weight to take off and demonstrated Monday that he means to give hls best to the Indians, and strive for another chance In the majors. Walker One of 'Em Seldom does a player coming down from the big leagues show the brand of spirit displayed by Walker Monday and Manager Corrlden and Owner Norman Perry were loud in their praLse of the veteran fly chaser. Curt had not played with any of the Indians during hls career and reported In the roll of a total stranger, but In one day’s workout earned the admiration of the entire squad. Bill Narlesky made things hot on the Infield Monday and when warned to alow down around the third sack stated he kept In shape over winter and was not worried about hls arm. "The work can not be too hard for me” he said, and hls actions in scooping up hot shots led the camp observers to believe him. Narlesky apparently Is destined to develop into a auperh guardian of third base. Outlook Bright Altogether, Monday’s practice caused the Tribe outlook to go up several points and created the belief the team Is going to have much power at the bat. The Corriden pastlmera are of the stalwart type this year, and Narlesky is about the shortest athlete among the regulars. Catcher Tom Angley showed to better advantage Monday and the former Georgia Tech football star is winning the argument about cutting off weight. Furthermore, Tom is crashing the ball. Pitcher Danny Boone led off on the mound for batting practice Monday, showed to advantage and then became 111. He was compelled to go to hls room at once. Absentees Monday were shortstop Montague, utility inflelder Paul Wolfe and outfielders Fitzgerald and Tucker. Montague, Fitzgerald and Wolfe arrived later and were to take their first workout today. Ollie Tucker is a holdout. Clyde Barnhart was another standout during Monday’s drill and his long drives added to the day’s features. Improvement in health Is the reason. He cut off too much weight last spring and sapped Ills endurance.

OWNER NORMAN PERRY waxed enthusiastic over the condition of the squad here Monday. and complimented Manager Corriden for his success in bringing the boys along in the face of wintry weather. The sun was out at times Monday, but a strong and cold wind interfered to some extent. The first cut in the squad was made today when pitcher Bill Parks drew hb release He finished with the Indians last fall. He was released outright. Oovfifnor Harry O. Leslie plans to visit r'-e Indians Sarasoto training camp shortly’® It Is said He will come down from the north accompanied by several winter vacationists. Len Koenecke, the king of spring training hitters, Joined the Tribesmen Monday and cut loose with the .same old spring power at the plate. He Is the youth who passes out annually when regular games begin. Perhaps this will be his year to make good, but nobody cares to venture a prediction.

On the day of our first workout at the training camp I heard a lot more discussion about It.

During the last ten days I have received several letters asking me

to say something about it. In answer, I can give only my guesses at this time. In three or four weeks I should be able to furnish a better answer to the problem. Until the pitchers have got into something like normal form it Is Just guess work to tell what the ball will do to curb hitting. v I find that some people believe the difference lies in the better grip which the pitcher will get, now that the stitches have been raised. Others argue that the ball will be much deader than before.

make the wind resistance greater and hold back exceptionally long drives, but this difference should be slight. As long as the amount of cork and rubber remains the same the ball should be just as lively. Before we leave the training camp I will get the views of several players and tell you whether they think they are getting as much distance as they would have had on the same drive a year ago. Pitchers should be more effective, I believe, but we also must wait for

father’s box factory in case his terms were refused. Cleveland has a capable first baseman in Lew Fonseca and is unwilling to meet Morgan's terms. Terry, generally regarded as the best first baseman in the game, is asking the New York Giants for a three-year contract at $30,000 per season. The Giants have countered with a “final” offer of a oneyear contract calling for $22,500. Suggestions that Mempihis Bill will be traded sound ridiculous but in view of previous trades which sent Rogers Hornsby, Lefty O’Eoul and Burleigh Grimes to other clubs it would not be surprising to see Manager McGraw lose the man who is needed to make the Giants a pennant contender. Owner Stoneham is reported ready to trade Terry to any club except the Chicago Cubs. Brooklyn is reported to have refused to trade Terry for Babe Herman, even up, while St. Louis Is uninterested in an offer which would deprive them of Jim Mottomley and Douthit. Pittsburgh wants Terry, but not at the Giants’ price, involving the sacrifice of Paul Waner in addition to Gus Suhr. Reynolds, young White Sox slugger, was Included with Babe Ruth and A1 Simmons in all-star American League outfits last year and now wants a salary in keeping with his ability. The Sox, notoriously a low paying club, have offered Reynolds SIO,OOO in response to his demand for $25,000. Reynolds’ prospects of getting even $15,000 from the Sox are remote, and he probably will be traded.

Well, I have no serious idea of taking up pitching again. I did pitch an entire game on the last visit of the Yankees to Boston last September, and I must say I surprised myself in being able to go so long and get by without any serious batting rallies against me.
