TWO Indianapolis men will be with the Chicago Cubs’ early squad of spring pastimers leaving Chicago tonight for training at Catalina Island, Cal, They are Johnny Corriden, coach, and Andy Lotshaw, trainer. The latter has been with the Bruins for several years while Corriden only recently was moved up from scout to coach. The athletes will reach Catalina Tuesday noon and practice will begin Wednesday morning. The Cubs are the “first robins” of spring training. Manager Rogers Hornsby will department with the first squad. The first string members will leave late next week to join their mates at the island camp. MUM Joe Sprint, former Indianapolis catcher, is slated to he first string receiver with Columbus this year. He refused to accept terms with the Birds last season and was transferred to Houston by the St. Louis Cardinals. Joe was a star with the Hoosiers in 1039 and was sold to Cleveland in July of 1930. after he had started slipping: with the bat. The A. A. pitchers finally caught up with the St. Louis German. Joe is a rood receiver and his arm is okeh. but the tall youth fails to uncork enourh pepper and noise to su.t most manarert. uuu Hinkle. Bruckman and Delancey are the other backstops on the Columbus roster. Bruckman formerly caught for the Purdue university nine and wears "cheaters” while in harness. All are products of the Cardinal chain and have arrived defensively. Their hitting power will 'determine who sticks as understudy to Snrinz. with Hinkle ranked as leading; contender. It has been several years since a Columbus catcher sported a .300 batting average and Manager Leibold is sure to favor the man with the best artillery. SPEEDY COLT SOLD By Times Special AGUA CALIENTE, Mex., Feb. 13. —The speedy 3-year-old colt, Joe Flores, one of the early favorites in the $50,000 Agua Caliente handicap in March,, has been purchased by F.

George M. Weiss, Former Baltimore Chief, Named Director of New York Club’s Interests in Junior Loops; Project to Follow Cards’ Pattern. , BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, has embarked on an ambitious program of chain store baseball and within three years intends to own outright six minor league clfibs. He owns one now, Newark. These plans probably will cost the wealthy brewer $1,000,000 before they reach the profitable basis of the St. Louis Cardinals’ farm system.

Colonel Ruppert told the United Press of his plans Friday night, in connection with his announcement that he had appointed George M. Weiss of the Baltimore Orioles as assistant secretary for .the Yanks and general manager of the club’s minor league interests. Weiss to Assist Barrow “Within three years I hope to own outright six minor league clubs,” he said. “Our minor league interests already are so extensive it was necessary to have a good man to handle them almost exclusively. As time goes on, he may need an assistant himself.” He explained that Weiss would handle the minor league business, and serve as acting manager of the New York club whenever Secretary Ed Barrow was absent. “We now own the Newark club outright, and have working agreements with Scranton, Cumberland and Albany,” Ruppert continued. “Also, we are negotiating for purchases or working agreements with Atlanta and Springfield. Follow Cards’ Plan “My main objective in extending my minor league interests is to acquire clubs where players can be developed to their very best. This will give the Yankees a tremendous source of power in the baseball world.” It is explained the Yankee system will follow that developed by Branch Rickey for the St. Louis club. Weiss, 36, has been in baseball for eighteen years. While a student at Yale he organized in 1914 a team known as the New Haven Colonials, which played Sunday games at Lighthouse Point, just outside New Haven. He directed the team for five years. Succeeded as Owner From this club, Weiss went into organized baseball at the age of 23, acquiring possession of the New Haven club of the Eastern League. He was extremely successful. In eleven seasons, while head of the club, it never finished in second division. Moreover, he sold more players than all the other seven league clubs combined. Three years ago, when the death of Jack Dunn made it necessary for the Baltimore club to obtain a successor as head of the Orioles, Weiss was recommended warmly by Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, and other major league men. Though Class AA baseball was new to him, his success with the Orioles was even more pronounced than at New Haven. Consequently, Weiss was the first choice when Colonel Ruppert needed a new man for his minor league enterprises.

Boxing Ruled Out at Fort Captain J. R. Kennedy, who has been boxing matchmaker at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, announced Friday the weekly Tuesday night professional fistic entertainment at the army post during the summer has been dropped. He mentioned bass business conditions as one reason for ruling out the bouts. It also is assumed the army officers believe the boxing game controlled to a certain extent by sinister influences around the country that interfere with independent promotion. At any rate, the Harrison athletic commissioners felt that outside sources placed obstacles in their path late last season. Following the announcement that boxing bouts are off at Harrison, it was learned that city promoters plan to stage weekly or bi-monthly shows at new Perry stadium this summer. It is said Steve Harter has been mentioned as matchmaker for the ball park programs. Beauty. 112: Moronge. 112: Fifia. 107: May Agnes K..
