TRIBESMEN DRILL FOR BATTLE WITH COLUMBUS

iNarlesky’s Homer in i Tenth Lpsets Yanks Indians Wage Uphill Battle to Cop Second Overtime Verdict From New Yorkers: Koenecke’s Circuit Drive Helps Raliy. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA, Fia., March 25.—With another big league victory to their credit by virtue of repeating over the New York Yankees at St.. Petersburg Tuesday, 10 to 8 in ten innings, the battling Hoosicrs of Johnny Corrideu were back on their own training lot today being groomed for their second meeting of spring with the Columbus Red Birds at Lakeland Thursday. It was a grand and glorious garrison finish that the Indians exploded on the Yanks Tuesday and against the regular lineup of the major outfit. A home run by Bill Narlesky in the tenth with one mate aboard proved the final blast that ruined Joe McCarthy's team for the second time in two days. On Monday, in Sarasota, the Tribesmen defeated Babe Ruth and company in eleven stanzas. Staging an uphill battle, the Corridenites came from far behind, with the Yankees leading 8 to 2 as the contest went into the eighth inning. In that round, after one out, Montague worked Charlie Ruffing for a pass, Fizgerald fanned, Monahan walked and Walker scored Montague with a single. This brought up Len Koenecke, and he promptly kissed one of Ruffing’s offerings for a trip around the sacks, the drive going to deep right center, and Koenecke scored standing up behind Monahan and Walker. Narlesky flied for the third out.

The Indians still were two markers behind when they o.'urd the ninth and after one out Riddle singled. Clyde Barnhart batted for Holshouser and tripled to right. Barney's wallop sent Ruffing to the showers and Phil Weinert, the southpaw from Louisville, relieved him. Montague connected for a long fly to score Barnnart with the tying run and Mulroney took up the pitching for the Indians. In the tenth, Walker drew a pass after one out, Mulroney sacrificed, and Narlesky sent the sphere soaring over th 2 left-field fence to bring the count to 10 end 3 in the Tribe’s favor. The Yankees were panting by this time with another defeat staring them in the face at the hands of the minor leaguers. Dusty Cooke batted for Weinert and flied to Fitzgerald. Combs walked and the Tribe innerworks thereupon ended the fracas in sensational style with a double play as Lary shot a difficult ground ball at Montague, the twin killing going Montague to Bonura to Monahan. Bonura got into the battle as a second sacker when he batted for Andrus in the ninth. Babe Ruth didn’t extend himself in the outfield, but drove out two smashing singles, walked once, hit into a double play and got robbed of a bingle on another occasion when Monahan contributed a spectacular stop. It was the. fourth consecutive victory for the Indians, their lone loss being the 6-to-4 game with Brooklyn. They have defeated the Phillies, Columbus and the Yankees; twice.

Tribe Camp Chatter ■ BY EDDIE ASH

SARASOTA, Fla., March 25. Summer weather was on tap in St. Petersburg Tuesday as the Yankees took another jolt on the chin with the Indians doing the punching.

Will Baseball and Beer Mix, New League Asks

By United Press PHOENIX, Ariz., March 25. Baseball experiments on a large scale will be made this year by the Artzona-Texas League, an international aggregation which this spring replaced the old Arizona State League. Among the questions that gate receipts only will answer are: 1. Will baseball and beer mix? 2. Is Internationalism a good thing? 3. Are Mexicans good basebaU fan-.? 4. Can one team successfully represent two cities? 5. Is night baseball feasible in the southwest? Three of the five questions will be answered by the club representing Nogales, Sonora, a newcomer to the league. The Nogales baseball park adjoins a brewery and is called the brewery ball park. A beer booth is one of the concessions counted on to help finance the team. At least four of the Nogales playres must be Mexicans, under league rules. The split franchise experiment is being attempted by Bisbee and Douglas, twenty-three miles apart. Both towns will finance one team and half of the at- home games will be played in each city. Night baseball is contemplated at Phoenix. Asa rule night contests here during the heat of summer
