Talking It Over

BY lOE WILLIAMS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 15. Baseball's new act thfc champion Cardinals featuring John Pepper Martin—goes over Just as big m the sticks as in the metropolis. Stage Director Street tried the act out on the local tourists here Monday, using the Boston Braves as stooges, a role they were able to play without makeup, and everybody voted it a fair sort of success. The National League champion* won the ball game, during the course of which they conducted themselves with a cockiness that teemed to imply that they think they ■•re pretty good and that they do not intend to stand for anv messing around on the part of their opponents. It was only the second game they had won In the south, but they won ft lmiressively and looked like champions. Os course, vcui do not need much as a rule to look hire champions against the Braves, >ut there can be no doubt about the class mid potentialities of the Cardinals. They have that certain something. Even with lour of their stars out of the lineup cv have It. Three-fourths of the Infield i hlch turned back the Athletics in the ■ orld series last fall were out of the game. i'Tl;ch and Bottomlev aren't ready, and Cielbert is a holdout. So is Haley, the hard-hitting outfielder. Frisch and Bottomlev will be ready In ■ue time. .Just what will happen to Gelbert and Hafey remains io be seen. Whether the Cardinals, with thetr extraordinary reserve forces, can get along without two men like Cielbert and Hafey is a ciiestlon. Privately and off the record, S reet doesn't ihink so, but the club management, does. The general opinion seems to be that with Hafey and Gelbert back in the lineup, j ‘he Cardinals will repeat, or come close to j and bv the same reatoning the experts I oree that without them some other team I 111 win. probably the Giants or the i Grooklyns. a a a

i WAS sitting with Sam Breadon, ! owner of the Cardinals, and hidge Emil Fuchs, owner of the Graves, when the trade between Brooklyn and Cincinnati was. announced. Both agreed that it ought > work out more advantageously for Brooklyn than Cincinnati, and that he addition of Stripp to the Brookyn infield might even have the effect of making the club a distinct pennant possibility. ' They didn't need Herman particularly tnd they did need a man like Stripp." said eadon. Fuchs said the same thing and Ided that Herman, if he isn’t used by ir.cinnati in still another trade, might i.d It difficult to hit well in the Ohio : .11 park because of its spaciousness. Very : w nop flies go for home runs out there. Sitting with Breadon and Fuchs it was impossible not to reflect upon the two idely different systems which they repretit. Breadon pioneered the chain store idea In baseball. All told he has ten clubs of varying classifications around the ountry. These clubs arc continuously dedoping new talent for she Cardinals. As consequence. Breadon always has a pencontender and usually a pennant inner. Fuch*. on the other hand, has not, such nnections and is forced to go into the ■n market for his players, always a '-'''rifle gamble. Fuchs never has a pennant contender. Hits year he speaks optimistically oi ;th place, and the Braves will do well to lid that high There is only one wav to mpete against the chain store and that to out one into effect yourself. Whether is a good thing for baseball in general debatable it certainly has been a good nng for Breadon. All maior league teams will have to me to the idea sooner or later." says Teadon. "It takes you three or four •rs to develop a young player and how ? you going to develop him unless you ■e a plare to school him? At best a scout, doesn’t see a prospect more than a couple of weeks and that arcely is time enough to learn all you 'm ild know rbout a player. We nave been able to demonstrate that r system of scouting is futile unless it hacked up by finishing schools—or ■nailer clubs where the plaver ran be ant, watched and taught.”

BEDORE SMASHES FIRST HOMER IN INDIAN CAMP

Tribesmen Face Cards John Berly Ready to Open Firing on Hoosier Slab. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Snort Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 15.With the weather man promising improved conditions, the Indians of Emmett McCann were on edge to battle the world champion St. Louis

Bedore

trainer, and was expected to give the visiting major leaguers a hard fight. Sunshine returned to the Florida west coast Monday after an absence of several days during which time a variety of weather‘was dished out, including rain and then wind storms. Indians on Long Drills The Indians took a long workout in the morning and then divided their squad in the afternoon and engaged in a practice tilt of seven innings. The Pelicans slaughtered the Gulls, 10 to 4, when both Barnhart and Prince were raked for a collection of hits and runs. Jones and Hall hurled for the winning side and kept down the hitting of the Gulls to seven. Ffed Bedore, utility pastimer, was in left field Monday and poled a circuit drive in the second inning off of Leslie Barnhart. It was a mighty swipe to left center and was the first homer of the spring by an Indian in practice or exhibition games. Weintraub, White Star Weintraub and White also were outstanding at tb plate for the Pelicans with three hits each. Ray Fitzgerald clouted the sphere for two of the seven safeties for the losing Gulls. The defeated boys were handicapped to some extent by having three men in the lineup who just reported recently, Yoter, Kroner and Rosenberg. Manager McCann held down the second sack for the Pelicans and played a dandy game in the field. Fhe performance of Johnny Cooney in the outfield also was notewor- i thy when he used his speed to register six put-outs. Moreover, the former Toledo ath- I lete grabbed off two hits. He is a great judge of a fly ball, but believes that his best chance to return to the majors will be on the mound. He cut loose in batting drill Monday morning and the swatters found him difficult to solve.

Burwell Signs; Heving Only Hoosier Holdout

BY EDDIE ASH SARASOTA, Fla., March 15.—8i1l Burwell, veteran right-handed hurler, was in uniform Monday afternoon for the first time. He accepted terms and signed his contract following morning practice and after two conferences with Owner Norman Perry, the players were happy to see Bill in line and the popular hitrler lost no time in starting strenuous exercise. Only one prominent player now remains outside the fold—Joe Heving, the hurlcr obtained from the Gianis. Gene Jones, young pitcher, also has rejected terms, but the Indians have no place for him, anyway.

A. A. CAMP GOSSIP

DUTCH ZWILLING is busy these days trying to figure his best infield. At first base, Pete Monahan, veteran pastimer obtained from Indianapolis last season, who batted A. A. pitching for .301, is battling with John Brewer, who tunred in a .309 average in the Three-I circuit last season. Oliie Marquardt and Ray Treadway. both of whom saw action with the Blues in the 1931 cEfmpaign, are battling for the second base assignment. Joe Hassler, former St. Louis Brownie, is the leading shortstop candidate. He has been bothered by a sore arm, but says he’s ready to go now. Eddie Taylor and John Schofield are rookies trying for the short field berth. Bob Boken is back again to take care of the hot corner. a tt Bevo I.rhnurvean. Ihe slugging outfielder. is scheduled to make his fifth stop in the American Association, according to reports from the Red Bird spring ramp. Bevo is a stubborn holdout and all efforts to sign the big flyehaser have been unsuccessful. Bevo has performed with Kansas City, Milwaukee, Toledo and Columbus. Rumors at the Columbus camp say be may land with Indianapolis. tt a m Nemo Lcibold. veteran pilot of the Red Birds, is beginning to worrv about his outfield, and all because Nick Cullop has net performed in his early assignments as was expected. Nick, who registered anew association home run record in 1930 with fifty-four circuit nokes. has been known as a great spring nitter. but this year he hasn't been smacking the horsehide in the early tilts. Columbus bought Cullop from Cincinnati, wherp his batting fell off to a mere .263 in 1931. tt a tt Louisville's Colonels still are bothered bv important holdouts. Dudley Branom, veteran first sacker; Art Weis, promising outfielder, purchased from Birmingham; Herman Layne, another outfielder. and Phil Weinert, pitcher, continue to refuse terms, and Bruno Betiel. the new Louisville pilot, is trying to hurry them into line. Boy Wilkinson, veteran slab star, also fs a holdout, but Ihe Colonels have reported that he is on the for sale block. Ken Penner arrived in ramp rerentlv and signed his 1932 eontract. Since then, he’s kept the Colonel's laughing with his wise-cracks. a tt it Cap Neal, general manage; of the Colonels, and Betzzl are predicting big things for four Louisville rookies during the 1932 campasn They ere Hatter.

Monday’s drill and game without favoring his weak leg and he felt cheerful today. He declared he will be just as solid as ever in another week or two. Johnny Kroner also worked out at third and displayed a powerful arm. He is not likely to measure up to Yoter’s speed, however, if Elmer produces as of old.

Catcher Tom Angley was a prominent figure Monday. He played third base for the Pelicans and let Ed Younger catch, and the heavy hitting backstop entertained the bleacherites with a snappy game at the hot corner. He clicked off a single and double and. drove in three runs. Weintraub also batted in three markers.

AMERICAN Association fans may see another English in action during the 1932 campaign. The newcomer is Vernon English, who is bidding for the shortstop job with Minneapolis. Donie Bush, the new Miller pilot, is giving young English a thorough trial. ' "He’s the hottest boy I’ve seen in the minors in many days,” Bush said recently. “Every move he makes reminds you of his brother, Woody, star infielder of the Chicago Cubs, who went up from the Toledo Mud Hens.” The Miller rookie covers a lot of ground, and has a fast and accurate throw. Ernie Smith ana Danny Bloxsom are other Minneapolis shortstop candidates. tt a a Bush announced he will carry three catchers during the earlv part of the 1932 race. They will be Griffin, Schulte and Woodall, the latter a Coast League product. Donie explained that his pitchers are far behind in their work due to the bad weather and he wants them to get as much coaching from the catchers as possible. tt tt tt 'Valter Christensen, the wise-cracking outfielder with Milwaukee. is another holdout. The clowning flyehaser batted .370 in fifty-nine games in 1931 before hr was injured at Columbus, and Brewer officials can't convince him that he should take a salary cut. The feminine fans are getting the breaks at Houston. Tex., where three of the St. Louis Cardinals’ farm teams are going through their spring paces. Houston oi the Texas League, Rochester of the International League and Columbus of the A. A. are engaging in round-robin exhibition tilts, and the officials have decided to make every Monday and Friday “ladies' day.”

Charlie Stanton, California favorite; Ad Herman, German veteran; Sailor Jack Arnold and Pierre La Costa, Frertch star and a newcomer here, will take part in the heavyweight wrestling tournament at the Srmory Friday night. These grapplers will engage in a round robin competition, each man meeting every other once in a thirtyminute decision bout, and the winner will be brought back the following week to oppose “Jumping Joe” Savoldi, the former Notre Dame football star, in a feature bout. Under the tourney plan six bouts in all will be offered and two middleweight preliminaries

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Times’ sports writer, on the right. They visited thirteen new cities on their second annual flight, picking up the latest dope and form sheets on the contenders. Dick Amet, shown on the left above, sped his little Waco plane

BY DICK MILLER After a cold fast ride through snow covered northern Indiana, The Indianapolis Times Regional Air Special dropped down at Municipal airport at 6:15 Monday night, finished with its two-day visit with the boys who will compete in the final high school championship games at Butler fieldhouse Friday and Saturday.

The record trip around the circuit required seventeen hours, eight hours and fifty-five minutes to cover the southern half of the state Sunday and eight hours and forty-five minutes over the northern route Monday. Start Is Delayed The start Monday morning was delayed until 9:30, because pilot Arnett, Waco-Stinson distributor and head of the Central Aeronautical Corporation, wished the plane engine good and warm before driving into the severe head winds and snow blasts. Arnett figured right, because it was a smooth running air wagon that swooped down on a vacant field across from the school house at Cicero, the dark horse team from the Marion regional. Coach J. B. Stephens was all smiles about his quintet and the town feels likewise. The Cicero cagers all are big boys, averaging six feet in height. All varsity team members are seniors. First Visit Since 1916 Cicero last participated in a state tournament in 1916. Cicero has a tough foe in Vincennes at the start, but Cicero is accustomed to tough things and have captured four tournaments they have entered this season. Shooting the little Waco skyward, Arnett made record time to Newcastle, where we were to congratulate Orville Hooker, who has been trying and trying for years to get by that Muncie regional. “Hook,” who used to star at Anderson and later at Butler, has had good teams and then better ones, but fate always ruled him out by a close decision at Muncie. Fate changed horses this year and last Saturday it was good fortune that sent Thoman's last-second field goal swishing through the net to g\ve Newcastle a 20 to 19 win over their ancient Bearcat rivals. Hooker Is Confident But maybe that victory will be costly. Hooker told us how his boys waited and waited in the dressing room for word. Hooker feels he will have his boys back in shape by next Friday. Morning practice, secret drills in the big Earlham college fieldhouse and his boys should be ready for Seymour, an opponent that will force the Trojans to the limit. But Newcastle is planning to erase the Owls and battle at the Alices of Vincennes on Saturday morning, bright and early. It was a long, cold jaunt up to BlufTton, where we congratulated L. E. Templin on his second consecutive regional victory. “Temp” told us last year that he had been rushed into the basketball coaching position to fill a vacancy, his strong forte being baseball. But when he used good conditioning exercises and common sense prove a main factor in winning net games, the principal and townspeople thought he had a good system, and they were right. Second Visit in Row Decatur was doped to have the Ft. Wayne regional cinched, but “Temp" said he never feared Decatur as much as he feared South Side and the other Ft. Wayne teami. Just a hard working ball club, one that causes trouble with little provocation on part of opponents. BlufTton makes its second consecutive appearance at the field house next Friday, one of the three 1931 contenders to return. When we headed on north to Ft. Wayne for gas and who was there to meet us but Gunnar Elliott, the WO WO radio station announcer and sporting goods salesman. Gunnar will broadcast the state final games over his station, the Dietzen Bakeries, and he wanted to know if we would sit in some of the games as guest announcer. De Vol Produces Winner So long to Gunnar and a trip against time to Columbia City. Our old friend, O. W. (Abe) De Vol, who gained his early training.at Lebanon high school under Ward (Piggy) Lambert, Purdue coach and later starred on the old Wabash college “Wonder Five” in 1915, is bringing Columbia City to the state for the second time since he went there as coach, lhat was in 1929. De Vol’s team lost only three games this winter, one by one point in an overtime and another by two points. Both of his regional games were tough ones and he won them by one point each over Beaver Dam

over the route in record time. The flight and stops, where coaches and players were interviewed, required just a little more than seventeen hours. And that’s flying. All in all, they covered more than 1,200 miles.

and Garrett, but several of his boys had the flu and are expected to be in better shape for the state. Away we went to Michigan City. Never faltering, Pilot Arnett drove that speed plane through a driving snow storm and when he set ’er down on the pure white sheet at Michigan City we discovered the snow was more than a foot deep. Michigan City Strong Loren E. Ellis, a big boy who played at Indiana State and later coached at Jasonville, is at the helm of the Red Devils. They are up in the air over their basketball team at Michigan City, and why wouldn’t they be? Richter, who writes sports for the Dispatch, stepped up when Ellis modestly retreated from telling about his record and informed us that Michigan never won a major victory on the hardwood the last six years. Last year only four secondary games were captured. But the Red Devils stepped out this season. Ellis likes his center. He feels he has a great chance to defeat Bosse next Friday night. Ellis is coming to the state hoping that the northern Indiana teams will do something this year. Superintendent Is Coach A speedy flight to Winamac, where Earl Roudebush, superintendent of schools, bosses the basketball team. Roudebush has gained promotions up the teaching ladder, but he never felt like dropping his boys. He has made good records each year and this season upset the vaunted Napannee team by ten points. Winamac didn’t lose many games, and now feel they will take BlufTton in stride, hoping to get Lebanon next. Arnett still was flying that Waco in record smashing time and in a few minutes we were shaking hands with Paul Lostutter at Delphi. Paul told us it was a green gang of kids he coached this year, but they are coming fast now. A big center and a fighting gang of boys, who will be hard to beat—that’s Delphi. Delphi Shows Form Delphi clashes with Lebanon in the opening game and Lebanon has scored two wins over the Oracles. One was an overtime affair after Delphi went into the last quarter, 19 to 7, in the lead. Delphi has improved since then, we are told, and at the next stop in Lebanon, where 300 fans turned out -to cheer the Times’ fliers, we were assured of that fact by Paul Neuman, former Purdue star, who is on his second year as coach of Tigers. Neuman states Delphi has made plenty of improvement and it is going to be some battle when they tackle Lebanon Friday afternoon. All Lebanon players are in good shape, the town is wild over possibilities of a real dark horse contender for the title and a scarcity of state tournament tickets. Our work completed, we hustled back to the municipal airport to await another season.

cidentally, involved five other wellknown players, provides that th® fotmer bad bev of Flatbush can not be sold or traded during the present ; season. i Although a certain Brooklyn ofI ficial admitted existence of the clause, its exact purpose was not explained. Apparently it was a protective gesture by the Dodgers to ; prevent Herman from being transferred immediately to a club which might be a strong rival in the 1932 National League pennant race. In the trade, announced Monday, Herman's team mates, Wally Gilbert, third baseman, and Ernie Lombardi, catcher, accompanied him in the shift to Cincinnati. In return, Cincinnati gave Brooklyn | Joe Stripp, third baseman; Tony Cuccinello, second baseman, and Clyde Sukeforth, catcher. No money ! was involved in the transaction. The important players in the deal were holdouts, Herman, Stripp and Cuccinello. It is expected that Stripp and Cuccinello will come to terms quickly with the Dodgers.
