BOSTON RED SOX FIRST FOE FOR TRIBE AT LOCAL PARK

Iloosiers End Trip

Cornden and Squad Back From Training Camp in Florida. by EDDIE ASH Weary from their two-day train trip north, Johnny Corriden’s Indians Piled off thelr two special coaches late this morning, looked at the downpour and postponed the beginning of local exercise until Saturday afternoon, when they will battle the Boston Red Sox at 3. The Tribe pastlmers will report at the park at 12:30. Emmett McCann, the fleet first sackrr obtained by the Hoosiers from Columbus in swap for Ollie Tucker, slugging outfielder, was scheduled to join the squad here today. Squad in Fair Shape Although hampered by cold and rainy weather. Corriden’s warriors, with the exception of the pitchers, appear to be in good shape. Few of the Indian hurlers are ready for hard work and it is this problem which worries Corriden as he shapes his team for the nine exhibition games with Boston, Buffalo and Toronto preceding the opening American Association game April 14. Rabbit Warstler, the speedy shortstop sold by the Tribe last .season, will appear here with the Beantowners, playing the short field. Hal Rhyne, Boston infielder, was struck on the head by a batted ball at Louisville Thursday and did not join the squad on its trip here. Rhyne’s condition is not regarded serious. The Red Sox were beaten by the A. A champs, 5 to 4 In the squad which Manager Shano Collins is bringing to Indianapolis are: Infielders Sweeney, Rothrock, Warstler and Reeves; outfielders Webb, Oliver and Winsett; catchers Berry and Connolly, and pitchers Gaston, Morris, MacFayden, Russell, Lisenbee, O'Neil and Murphy. McGrew in Accident Another accident was reported Involving members of the Hoosier training party. Ted McGrew of Indianapolis, National League umpire who accompanied the Tribe to Sarasota, escaped serious injury Thursday when the car he was driving from Sarasota to Indianapolis left the road during a blinding snowstorm Thursday near Dry Ridge, Ky.. and .shot over a thirty-foot embankment. The car is owned by Norman Perry, owner and president of the Indians. Jack Ryder, Cincinnati baseball writer, and Mrs. Ryder also were in the car. All escaped serious injury. Leslie Barnhart, Tribe rookie hurle-, also started to drive north, but nad a breakdown in Georgia Wednesday and wired Hoosier officials for financial aid

As Pitcher, Miss Mitchell Is Good Cook, Yanks Convinced

fly United Press (CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., April 3. j —Verne Beatrice Mitchell, ‘Jackie Mitchell for box office purposes, may be a good drawing card, but the New York Yankees were convinced today that as a pitcher she would make a swell cook. Jackie, who is 17, went to the pitcher’s mound for the glory of

Chattanooga Thursday, while some 4,000 fans cheered wildly. The invincible Babe Ruth stepped to the plate, awry smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Ever gallant where ladies are concerned, the Babe politely lifted his hat the the first woman ever to crash what

The next one, cutting the plate in the centei, the Babe disdained and walked chivalrously to the dugout not even venting his usual vehemence on the umpire and pitcher. Lou Gehrig then walked to the box. Again Jackie went into her windup. Three times she wound up

Rockne Rites at South Bend Saturday; Thousands Gather

(Continued From Page Twenty-Two) Rockne rests is sealed, not to be opened again. From east and west, north and south, members of the Rockne gridiron battalions that fought their way to a glory that has been marred by only twelve defeats in thirteen yei:.rs, today were massing themselves around their fallen here. Coaches there came too —men who had not played under Rockne, but who admired him for his personal qualities and worshiped mm for his amazing imprint on the game, and his supreme strategy and resourcefulness. Coaches, Players Gather And in the little cottage on East Wayne street the widow of this man, between sobs, told of his opulent qualities as a husband and a father. She remembered their early struggles, together. She had seen only too little of him in recent years. But she had become resigned to his wearing regimen, assured that he was building toward the day of retirement and ease. And now the dream was blasted—the builder was dead. She remembered that first game with West Point, eighteen years ago —the contest that had so powerful an influence on Rockne as a player, and had fashioned him as a coach. He had started out to be a druggist. Then, in his second year at Notre Dame, he had turned to chemistry, and a fine cnemist he had become, for on graduation he became a member of the faculty. Played for Her But that game on the plains at the Point in 1913 started a series of vents that turned Rockne from verything else but football. “He played that game in 1913 for ne,” Mrs. Rockne said. “We were engaged then and the following July after his graduation, we were married. Everything was so quiet and simple then, and now——” “He had great courage and of death he was unafriad,” she went

and three tim°s Gehrig to allow, himself to be vanquished by the girl. Tonv Lazzeri was the third batter up. But Jackie had lost her steam by then and Lazzeri walked. Joe Engel, who signed Jackie for the season, decided that she had had enough. The Yankees won 14 to 4. Vernon Gomez did their pitching. They are headed for Atlanta today.

cn. “I spoke to him about his flying, but he felt that if a man had to meet his maker at a certain moment, death would overtake hiih in an airplane or a street car.” 4 Last fall Rockne’s doctors forbade his flying. But recently he had taken to making most of his trips by air. He took the keenest delight in boasting of the speed he was making, the hours he was saving. “Flying now is as safe as railroading,” Rockne told Jack Chevigny, his assistant, when he left here the other day. But over the plains of Kansas a wing cracked, a plane bearing eight men twisted and crashed to earth, and America was left to mourn one of its greatest sportsmen of all time. And today they are making ready a grave in the Highland cemetery, out at the edge of town. Today the men who fought unbeaten on his 1930 team were named to bear Rockne to his final resting place. And today the Rockne home was flooded with messages from prominent men in all walks of life from President Hoover and Mr. Coolidge down. Mayor James J. Walker of New York, speeding home from his vacation in California, was expected to stop here to pay his last respects to Rockne. It was Rockne who answered the call of the unemployed of New York when others gave them a deaf ear. It was Rockne who called together his old warriors and sent them against the New York Giants in a game which netter about $125,000 for Walker’s unemployed fund, and Mayor Jimmy never will forget it. Only Rockne would have done that. Only Rockne, of all the coaches, could have done it. An ambitious man—ambitious for his family—was this Rockne. But no money grabber. A charity game in Chicago cost him $3,500 out of his own pocket. And no man with a claim to his friendship ever made an appeal to him which he did not meet.
