Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, March 13,—My contact men down at the training camps Inform me that of all the spring Infield sensations now sprouting in the south perhaps the most interesting is Jim Levey, the Jewish boy who la to play short for the Browns. It develops that the St. Louis club bought Levey out of the marine corps, and that he was discovered by Jim Breckenridge, the big Dartmouth pitcher who was with the Athletics in 1930. a a a Breckenridre had burled against Levey tn a game between Dartmouth and the Ouantico Marines and passed the tip on ♦ o .Tames McEvoy. vice-president of the Browns, and a fellow Oklahoman. McEvoy Anally landed Levey and now, after preliminary tutelage and experience with Tulsa and Wichita Falls, this direct defendant of King Solomon Is ready for the big show. Levey hails from Pittsburgh. a a a Our West Palm Beach correspondent ■?dds that while Lu Blue Is a holdout he reallv needn't bother about reporting, as his iob already has gone to Irving Burns, one of Shanty Hogan s Somervllie (Mass.) neighbor*, who was with Levey at Wichita Falls last year. ana |N recent years there has been one I quaint rite without which no pring training season could be regarded as official. Each March the Cleveland club has benched Doc Jamieson, that fleet and erudite citizen of Patterson, N. J., who is listed among the Indians’ left fielders. a a a lc March and early April Doe 1 supposed to be through, but. by May he’s busy doing most of the fly chasing while some supposed successor still Is wondering wtet It is all about down at New Orleans, or out at Decatur. a a a My New Orleans Informant, at the avmp of the Indians, says that Roger Peckinpah.,,)! has relegated Jamieson. Seeds, and Falk to the Yannigans. and has given Doc’s Job to a young man with the most euphonious ntme of Vosmik. Joe Vosmik, it is, and he .s a native Clevelander, who spent the 1930 summer at salubrious Terre Haute, nan Os course, Tam all for Vosmik, especially as he Is one of the shaker Heights Vosraikg. But I can not help wondering when famieson will lave to get back in there to tell Earl Averill which base to throw to, and how far back to run for a fly ball. IALSO am told that there still Is a good chance that Willie Kamm will be traded by the White Sox to Cleveland. It seems likely that this deal will be closed as soon as Honeymoon Morgan, a recent benedict who is touring Mexico with his wife, SI,OO and a SI,OOO car, makes up his mind to accept a paltry $15,000 from the Indians. a a a At the close of the 1930 season the Chicago club could have had Joey Sewell, now with the Yankees; Burnett, the third base,man, and Fonseca, all for Kamm. Certain officials of the White Sox were well dispos-d toward the proposition. In fact. I understand that Donie Bush wanted to sign tbe paper* right off. as he was ready to do almost anything to rid himself of the lethargic Kamm, who undoubtedly is finished In so far as any team managed by Bush Is concerned. a a a But Charley Comiskey halted the deal. I paid SIOO,OOO for Kamm. and I am going to get the equivalent for him.” the Old Roman announced. ”1 am not going to take an old man like Fonseca for Kamm.” Somebody flashed a "baseball Who’s Who” on Comev and proved that Fonseca was exactly twelve days older than Kamm. a a a "Well, that may be, but he looks twelve ■’ears older to me,” growled the owner of the Sox. as he stalked out of the conference. But it looks as If the deal is hot again now. a a a FROM Tampa I get disturbing news about Harry Heilmann, the Cincinnati outfielder. They say that Harry may be nearing the close of his illustrious career. He is at his home in Detroit undergoing treatment for a painful arthritis of the right wrist, and Dan Howley has given up hope of having Handsome Harry for the first month of the pennant drive, anyway. a a a Vs a result. Sidney Well, owner of the Reds, is scurrying from Florida camp to camp, trying to snare another outflelder. Well is reported to be about to do business with the Cardinals or the Braves. a a a Boston may decide to let Rlchbourg go. Just now Lance is playing a minor role •while Worthington. Schulmerlch, Moore. Clark and of course. Berger, get all the play. A Cincinnati deal for Rlchbourg was reported In the making more than a month ago *

BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 13.—Looking forward to the opening exhibition game at Clearwater Sunday against the Brooklyn Robins, Manager Corriden of the Indians announced today that his pitchers for the initial assignment would be Herman Holshouser, Leslie Barnhart and George Smith, all new members of the Tribe mound stall and all right handers. He permitted the three to rest Thursday for the first time during spring training nd explained they were being groomed to face the big leaguers. Holshouser, Barnhart and Smith operated daily in batting practice up to Thursday and the vacation suited them to a queen’s taste. However, they were asked to warm up and run around the field before going to the clubhouse to say goodbye for the afternoon. They were slated to appear in the box again today and receive another recess Saturday to put them on edge for the task of struggling against the major leaguers on the Sabbath.

In addition he made several sensational catches. a a a SAN ANTONIO, Tex..

March 13.—Improved weather and the return of Joe Stripp who has been ill since he reported, brought new optimism to the Cincinnati camp today as the Reds tuned up for Saturday’s game with the New York Yankees.

A wire was received by the Legion Wednesday from My Sullivan of St. Paul, who challenged the winner of the Legion scrap a week from Tuesday, when Del Fontaine meets the winner of this Tuesday night’s match.

Two of the fastest riding polo teams now playing on the Pacific coast will face each other here today when the Pamperos Four of Argentina lines up against Laddie Sanford’s Hurricanes, open champions of Great Britain and United States. The South Americans have defeated Sanford's team twice this season. x

The Indians’ new center fielder, Howard Fitzgerald, showed to advantage Thursday and rapped the horsehide for numerous line drives. He is a rangy fly-chaser, unassum- : ing and apparently all set to be--1 come a mainstay in the American i Association. He seems to possess natural ability to get going the instant the ball is driven to his territory. Furthermore, Howard knows how to bunt, and Manager Corriden made a wise move by placing him second in the batting order. Eddie Montague and Bill Narlesky churned up the turf Thursday during infield drill and the rallbirds saw plenty of speed exhibited. These lads evidently got in shape before reporting at camp and both are performing in the manner of big leaguers. It is too early to say Montague will be superior to Rabbit Warstler in I the infield, but at the plate the | guess would be that Montague will hit better in the American Association. It is the consensus of opinion in training camp that the Indians have a real prospect in Eddie. He is only 24, is ambitious and possesses i a strong arm.

Bulldogs Kept Out Big Ten Ruling Bars Butler From Illini Relay Carnival. By United Press CHAMPAIGN, HI., March 13. More than 700 track and field stars from fifty-eight schools were gathering here today for the fourteenth annual University of Illinois indoor relay carnival, which will be held Saturday night. Butler university was refused entry in the carnival because of its break with the North Central Assocition of Colleges and secondary schools. Ten special events, eight relays and the all-round championship of seven events are on the program. All of the Big Ten schools, most of the Bix Six and Missouri valley schools, a large group from the midwest and scattered representatives from the east, south and southwest are entered. A Western Conference ruling which bars schools not in the North Central Associtaion of Colleges from competition with Big Ten institu-* tions was the cause for the refusal of Butler’s entry in the Illinois relay, Coach Herman Phillips stated today. * Phillips had planned to send twelve Bulldog thinlies to Champaign, and Bert Nelson, high jumper, and the star medley relay team were expected to make a strong bid for title honors.
