TRIBE HURLERS FACE TEST IN FIVE-GAME EXHIBITION BILL

Phils Battle Hoosiers Today; Columbus Next

A. A. Club to Oppose Tribesmen Saturday and Sunday; Yanks Carded for Tilts on Monday and Tuesday; Corriden Needs Pitchers. BY EDDIE ASH, Time* Spoils Editor SARASOTA, Fla, March 19.—The big test Is at hand for the pitchers r, n the staff of Johnny Corrlden's Indians as they will be pushed to tha utmost during the group of exhibition games starting with the Philadelphia Nationals at Winter Haven today. There are five battles scheduled in six days and his program is expected to give Man-

ager Corriden a real line on the power of his moundsmen. However, without waiting for the outcome of the contests at hand, it is general opinion among camp observers that the team will be compelled to start searching for another southpaw and also another right hander of experience. The Cleveland Americans are said to be willing to turn over at least one hurler to the Hoosiers next month, but it may become necessary to purchase the other and it is believed Scout Jack Hendricks soon will be commissioned with orders to look over the field of availables in the big league camps in Florida. Following the skirmish with the Phillies today, the Indians will do routine work Friday and then take on the Columbus Senators in Sarasota for a pair of tilts Saturday and Sunday. Monday, of course, will be the big day of spring for Sarasota in a baseball way. Joe McCarthy's New York

Corriden

Yankees will meet the Tribesmen here and Babe Ruth and the other i olorful big time American Leaguers doubtless will attract a swarm of lans to Payne park. On Tuesday the Corridenites will battle the Yankees in a return fray at St. Petersburg. The largest crowd ever yet to attend an exhibition ;;ame at Bradenton turned out Wednesday to see the Yankees lose to the Cardinals. Governor Harry G. Leslie of Indiana headed the Hoosier party at the game, including vacationists and all members of the Tribe squad. The Babe autographed a ball for the Indiana chief executive.

Tribe drill Wednesday morning, was held under a bright and steaming sun. It was mid-summer heat. Corriden introduced some base running plays to sharpen up the infield defense and the athletes came through in good style. tlce and some of the players expressed disapproval of the new style ball. They are now Inclined to believe the American Association pellet'has been deadened more than the major league horsehide. At anv rate, the sphere was not carrying well when the sludgers connected with all their power. Perhaps the real reason is that the pitchers are Improving. Boone and Mulronev still are holding back with their salary whips and remain in the doubtful class. Hall was the lone absent member Wednesday, a cold having him down for a rest. Tom Anglev was back in uniform after a short sick spell. Burwell, Cvengros and Smith appear to be the best bets among the hurlers as the third week of training nears completion. Holshouser and Leslie Barnhart stack up as candidates who are likely to mak the grade if their control is mastered. Lefty Hall may be carried on the roster throughout the season and put through the developing process. Lee Daney does not measure up to American Association standard and Jack Vornholt is short of league experience. Strings will be attached to Vornholt, however, for Manager Corriden thinks he is a prospect. Sore trms are beglnnig to appear in camp and Trainer Pierce has no idle time on his hands. Several of the tribe pastimers forgot to be careful. Owner Norman A. Perry. Manager Corriden, Jack Hendricks and Secretary Clauer went into a huddle Wednesday night and discussed the team’s progress to date and compared strength with other American Association clubs. Governor Leslie and Party departed from Sarasota today aboard owner Perry’s yacht. They will cruise in the etilf and around to Miami Beach. REGATTA DATE CHANGED NEW YORK, March 19.—The date for the Poughkeepsie regatta, in which practically every crew in the country except Yale, Harvard and Princeton will compete has been advanced from June 17 to June 16.

The former Clevelander, in addition to being a classy fielder, can swat the' apple in handsome fashion. Bonura is having a spirited battle with the veteran Pete Monohan for the first sack assignment. Although he lacks polish in the field, Zeke is a promising slugger and may get first call.

Y., March 19Bowling teams failed to make the grade, and with but one change Wednesday’s list of American Bowling Congress leaders remained intact today.
