LOGAN, THOMAS AND JONES TO FACE CARDS ON SLAB

M'Cann Names Lineup for First Exhibition Fred Bedore to Perform at Hot Corner With Rookie Lowell at First and Cooney in Outfield: Five Tribesmen Still Holdouts. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Snorts Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March B.—After tipping the lid with a brief practice game on Monday between a divided squad of Indiarjs, Manager Emmett McCann looked his Tribe pastimers over today and selected the lineup to send against the world champion St. Louis Cardinals here rhursday to open the spring training exhibition schedule. It will be a mixture of regulars and rookies, the big idea being to have >ome strength on the field as well as put a few of the youngsters to the ,ost. Three pitchers will be used. All new men—Thomas, Logan and tones, graduates from Oklahoma City of the Western League. Thomas md Jones are right-handers and Logan tosses the sphere in southpaw ashion. i

In the absence of a regular thirdsacker, Fred Bedore, utility star, will play the hot corner and lead off. He will serve for Yoter and Kroner, both holdouts. Fred had rounded into great shape and won’t have any trouble filling the bill. Ed Lowell, young first baseman, will bat second and may be relieved by either Manager McCann or Ernie Wingard before the struggle is concluded. The complete tentative starting lineup follows: Bedore, 3b; Lowel, lb; Walker, rs; Anr•ev nr Riririlr. r; Fitzgerald, rs; Sigafno*. Jb: Cooney, If; White, as; Thomas. Locan and Jones, n. Five Still Holdouts The Hoosiers returned to the double drill routine today, and the same program will be followed Wednesday. On Thursday the players slated to start in the game against the Cardinals will be cxeused from morning practice, but the others will go through with the regular work. There is no information eonccrning the holdout brigade, now r reduced to five members—Yoter, Kroner, Miller, Burwell and Heving. The club bosses still are willing to negotiate with all but Burwell, who has been tagged for a change of scenery. Allen Seeks Hurlers Bob Allen, president of the Knoxville team of the Southern Association, w r as in Sarasota today giving the Tribestcrs the once over and it is said he stands ready to take a few athletes off the hands of Owner Norman Perry. Five athletes were optioned to Allen during the winter and he seems to think he can handle several more, especially pitchers. At any rate, his presence in camp was the means of creating some nervousness on the part of the rookies and among the holdouts who are in tpwn. DEMPSEY STOPS TWO Ry United Press COLUMBUS. 0., March B—Jack Dempsey knocked two more comparatively unknown young men kicking here Monday night.

Vincennes Alices —Backboard’s Choice in Hoosier Cage Derby

METZ Forward

John Adams, Coach

Gulls Win First Tilt

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LITTLE Forward

HERE they are—the Vincennes Alices, choice of Off the Backboard, Times’ basketball columnist, in the annual Hoosier hardwood title derby. John Adams, the veteran pilot of the downstate Green and White pastimers, has built a powerful, rangy five which boasts both individual brilliance and machinelike team-work. A speedy, fast-

Off The Backboard

BY VERN BOXELL MR. ARTHUR (WHAT THE L.) TRESTER is one tough guy. He can take ’em on the chin hard and soft, and come up smiling. Maybe he makes a mistake now and then. Even ole’ Backboard does. But he shoulders a lot of blame that doesn't belong to him—and he listens to a lot of squawks from high school principals and newspaper men that sound grade-school-ish, if you get what I mean. First of all, let's take a look at Jeffersonville. The squawkers down that way have been making more noise during the last year or more than all the envoys of China and Japan at a peace parley. And it hasn't helped their case one bit. a a For Instance, when Jeffersonville rets humped by New Albany in the sectional. Jeffersonville immediately sets un a long and loud howl. A front-pare editorial is wheeled into action, and the barrage directed at Lll’ Arthur. New Albany and anvbody else who happens to get in the way. "The best team didn’t win.” the gripe starts. And that's where Lll’ Arthur comes in for his baptism of fire. He save the sectional to New Albany. Os course, the board of control awarded all the tournaments, but Mr. Trester's big. broad shoulders carry the blame. And New Albany—well, the fans down there are terrible, the world is Informed by the front-page editorial. They made too much noise, and the wrong kind at that, and the effect on the Jeffersonville team was that they folded un in A-l fashion. Now the Jeffersonvillonians (a two-bit word selling for half price during the business blight) are asking that Mr. Trcster’s office be made elective. How can the people of Indiana elect an official of a private organization—one like the I. H. S. A. A., for instance, which is an organization of high school principals? Dissatisfied members should get out. tt a tt Washington also voiced its complaint early. The Hatchet officials didn’t like the naming of Irvin Springer of Evansville as one of the referees for the Sullivan regional, where Mr. Burl Friddle’s boys are going to play Vincennes, and the Shoptown moguls filed a protest with Mr. Trester. According to Washington, Mr. Springer handled a Washington-Vincennes game three years ago and the Washington officials did not approve of some of his decisions. Mr. Trester investigated. Mr. Springer has been highly recommended by some southern schools. Washington is the only school complaining against his officiating. Some of the downstate principals and coaches even have urged his selection as a state tourney referee. Mr. Springer will be tooting his whistle at Sullivan next Saturday, Mr. Trester informed us today. tt a tt Mr. E. B. Brouillette. the Washington scribe, is turning on the heat. "Vincennes, you are next," says Mr. EGB, not once but many, many times. “Vincennes has not won a game from Washington since 1928. The Hatchets have won seven in a row. What other Washington teams have done, the 1931-32 edition will do," pens EGB. I might remind EGB that every dog has his day, and in the next breath appoiogize to Mr. John Adams, his Alices and everybody in Vincenes for being forced to call upon the canine to prove a point. tt e tt I AM wondering what that little guy is thinking about now—the one who bet ole’ Backboard 1 to 25 that Alexandria would witi the state way back in December, shifted his allegiance to Anderson in February, and paid off his bet without a yelp? Maybe he’d like a refund, but I think he might as well forget it, since these Alexandria boys are going to play Tech next Saturday. a a Stendal, one of the four teams in the Sullivan regional, has turned in two great seasons, even though there isn’t a gym in the town . . . Muncie should take a good look at that Spiceland-Newcastle box score for the final game of the Newcastle sectional. . . . Spiceland failed to get a field goal in tumbling, 54 to 9, which indicates that famed Trojan defense is clicking again. . . . Maybe it’s because Dale Dakins, the floor guard, is playing red-hot basketball again. . . . Monrovia, the team that survived the Bloomington sectional in which Martinsville also played, has a hot-shot forward who will deserve some watching bv regional rivals. . . . His name is Brown, and he scored eleven field goals in two games, five against Bloomington. . . . Tell City gets the high-scoring cake. . . . They scored ninety points in a single encounter. . . . They should have saved some of the field goals for later use, ’cause they got knocked off. . . . Lydic scored two points. . . . Lydic never stalls—that gag wowed ’em a year ago.

Some wise guy at Shelbyviile touched off a big firecracker with two-minutes of play left in that Shelbyville-Colurabus sectional final game, and 'the players and fans thought the game was over It took several minutes to clear the floor and renew action... .Fortunately, Columbus was so far in front that the incident had no bad effects... .Kokomo fans are scanning their rule books. ..The Kokomo scribes reported tourney officials would use the rules in Spalding's guide, which recommends that when two teams are deadlocked at the end of two overtime periods, the first team scoring two points wins the game....Ko" komo lost to Rnssiaville in four overtime periods, but they served the first field goal in the third extra period and according to Mr. Spalding's guide, should have won —that's their story... .Maybe they didn’t know that the board of control ordered all tournament games to be played to a decision.

Little is an accurate basket flipper who has seen much service this season. One of the chief assets of the Vincennes club is its reserve strength—Ealy. Glass and Little.
