Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS*

NEW YORK. March 31.—The major league cavalcade has Started north, and that always Cleans the holdout season is drawing to a close. A check-up shows that then are at least eight unsigned, five in the National, but from what can be gathered there is rot. a violent case in the lot.

Simmons always frets in shape at Hot Springs. Ark ■'hlle his teammates are in Florida, and asked Mack to permit the Ditcher to remain there as company for him. ana Those not vet officially in line in the senior loop are Vance, of Brooklyn; Chuck Klein and Fidgety Phil Collins, of Philadelphia; Chick Hafey of St. Louis, and Eddie Roush, of Cincinnati. It is understood the latter lias consented to terms, but things wouldn’t be natural unless lie was squawking for more n n a Roush wtll lake considerably less than he could have collected from the New York club a year a.'ro, but is willing to accept a cut for two or more reasons.

MAKESHIFT TRIBE LINEUP TO BATTLE CARDINALS

Indians to End Work Hoosiers Head North After Tilt Wednesday; Boston Here Saturday. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA. Fla., March 31.—One more game, Indians vs. Cardinals, at Bradenton Wednesday, and it will be all over for Johnny Corriden’s Hoosiers in the southland. Several of the Tribe athletes are on their way north now and there was little enthusiasm on tap at the training grounds Monday and today. Manager Corriden said he would use Mike Cvengros and Herman Holshouser on the mound against the National League champions Wednesday and despite a makeshift lineup Johnny expressed the opinion that his Indians would enter the battle prepared to try for a repeat over Gabby Street’s pastimers. The Indians trounced the Mound City Birds Sunday in Sarasota and it’s a good bet that Gabby will put the pressure on Wednesday to bring the count even up with the American Association team. He doesn’t care to be pushed over by miner ] leaguers. Paul Wclfe will be stationed at i third base Wednesday instead of Bill j Narlesky, the hard-working Jersey- i ite. Narlesky came south in hisj car and was granted permission to- 1 day to cut loose from the squad and head fur Indianapolis. The two \ Barnharts, Clyde and Leslie, also ha-ve filled their gasoline tanks and; are on their way. Danny Boone worked out Monday and departed for the north late in) the afternoon. He is going to con-! suit Bonesetter Reese about his arm, j but from what the young man dis- i played down here it’s unlikely that he’ll make the grade. Fact of the matter, the Indian pitching staff is far behind In physical condition and it looks like a; tough spot for Manager Corriden, when he reaches Indianapolis to ■ play nine exhibition games before the championship race in the Amer- j ican Association gets under way. j As usual, Bill Burwell is the standout flinger, with Lee Daney and Herman Holshouser standing next in line. The team needs another left-hander and right-hander to be ready when the barrier is sprung.

It’s a rood eucss the Tribe officials are on the point of landing another fly chaser. ana Catcher Burras Marlowe, who came to camp wite Johnny Riddle, will be dropped off the roster as the athletes go through Georgia. He has worked hard, but lacks size for a backstop. Manager Corriden will use an Indianapolis "homeguard” for the third-string duties when his team arrives at Washington park. ana Manager Corriden went into a huddle with Tom Angley Monday and endeavored to point out that if Tom will show more aggressiveness lie will gain higher ranking as a receiver. The big fellow is a hitter, but is inclined to take baseball in general as an outing. ana The Indians will return to Sarasota after playing at Bradenton Wednesday and will leave here that night. They will arrive in Indianapolis late Friday morning and open a series with the Boston Red Sox Saturday.

Wayne put a $7,500 price tag on Klein, and the late William F. Baker told Burt Shotton that if he really wanted Chuck, he would have to sell one of the other players. Shotton went over the roster in search of a man who could bring as much as $7,500 and finally discovered the player as well as an immediate buyer. He sold Hub Pruett, the left-hander who now is with the Giants, to the Newark club, and rushed the check to Ft. Wayne for Klein. a tt a IT was a great break for Klein that he landed with the Phillies. They needed an outfielder at once, and Chuck got his chance. He responded with all-round performance that exceeded anything he had achieved or promised in the Central League. Had Klein come to the Yankees, he would have been sent to St. Paul or Jersey City. Almost any other club except the Phillies would have followed baseball “Hoyle” and demanded more experience of the Indianapolis fly-chaser. And who can tell how Chuck would have reacted to another year in the minors? Rickey has been kicking himself ever since he lost Klein at Ft. Wayne. It is the mark against his baseball prescience which he will admit. i Late last season it was reported that Rickey had offered something like fourteen players, most of them in Cardinal minor league chain, for Klein, and Baker is said to have retorted: “T already have fourteen minor leaguers.” William Ruch, president of the Philadelphia club, said Monday: “Klein will play in Philadelphia. If we traded him, we’d have to shut our ball park.”

Definite Announcement of June 19 Battle Is Expected Today. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 31.—Definite anouncement that the Max Schmel-ing-Young Stribling heavyweight championship bout will be held at Soldier Field June 19 was expected at today’s meeting of the Illinois athletic commission. William F. Carey, president of Madison Square Garden Corporation, Sheldon Clark, Chicago sportsman; George Getz, member of the Illinois commission, and Joe Jacobs, manager of Schmeling, virtually completed arrangements Monday for the bout. Several obstacles still remained, but it was believed these could be settled satisfactorily. Under the present plan, Sheldon Clark and a group of fifty Chicago business men will promote the match for the Chicago Milk Fund. Reports that the match would be called off because of lack of interest are entirely unfounded, Jacobs said. Even more absurd, he said was the story that Mickey Walker, would be substituted for Stribling as the challenger. Last minute attempts to ring Jack Dempsey into the match either as “front man’’ or referee are still being made by several concerned in the negotiations. Some still maintain that the Schmeling-Stribling match will not stand on its own, and needs synthetic pull to help make it a financial success.

Brillheart, Moore Bolster Strong Red Sox Slab Staff

Editor’s Note—This is the eighth of a series dealing with 1931 prospects of the various major leagues ball clubs. By United Press NEW YORK, March 31.—An even stronger pitching staff than that of last year and anew spirit of hustle and fight are the main props on which Manager Shauno Collins hopes to boost the Boston Red Sox out of the American League cellar in 1931. Wiley Moore, one time sink ball hero of the Yankees, and “Lefty” Brillheart, called back from the minors, have been added to the pitching staff which was third in team pitching last season. Moore won twenty-two games with St. Paul in 1930 and seems to have recovered his old cunning and strength.' The two veterans promise to fit in well with the regular staff of Gaston, MacFayden, Morris, Lisenbee and Russell. Gene Rye and Tom Winsett, a pair of rookie outfielders, are expected to give the team a better batting punch. Ry e hit .360 for Waco in the Texas league last year and twenty-six of his hits went for home runs. Winsett came from Mobile in the Southern Association and is plenty capable with the bat. Rye is suffering from a sprained wrist at the present time, but is ex-

American Legion promises plenty of action and hard slugging at the Armory tonight, when the weekly

Tom Oliver and Russ Scarritt, holdovers, will be on hand to understudy the regular outfield group. The infield is better than ordinary Bill Sweeney will be on first, Bob Reeves at second, Hal Rhyne or Rabbit Warstler at short, and Jack Rothrock, a converted outfielder, on third. Reeves, once a third-sacker, is much happier at second, for his throwing arm was not quite strong enough for the cross-the-diamond pegs. Ollie Marquadt, infielder from Nashville, and Otis Miller, are likely to be kept for utility roles. The hard-hitting Charlie Berry, Muddy Ruel and Eddie Connolly form a capable catching staff.
