J I was like the start of an old-fashioned picnic Sunday when the first squad of Indians gathered at Perry stadium, said farewells admidst a lot of hip-hip hurraying and took off in a bus for the training camp at French Lick Springs, Ind. The regular catching staff, three regular pitchers and a group of rookie batterymen made up the party, headed by Manager Red Killefer and A1 Ritter, trainer. The jovial collection of horsehide manipulators pulled away late in the afternoon and first practice in the Orange county valley was scheduled for today. Fact is, Chief Killefer planned to work the lads twice today if weather permitted. Regardless of weather, however, he was sure to send them through some sort of exercise, even if it was only hop skip and jump or leap frog. The tariff is too costly to permit the boys to stay idle. The infielders and outfielders will report at the Hoosier Spa next Sunday and by that time it is expected the hurlers will be far enough along to cut loose with their wings and supply the swatsmiths with plenty of hitting practice. Tom Logan, Perry stadium groundkeeper, went to French Lick some time ago and fixed up a diamond on the golf course adjoining Tom Taggart's hotel. On days when the sky is smiling and when there is some warmth in the sun, it will be all baseball at the Springs. There is not much time for the flingers to learn the location of the plate before they will be required to perform in exhibition games and for that reason most of the calisthenics originally included on the training camp program will be sidetracked for actual diamond drills. Les Barnhart, Bill Burwell and George Smith, other regular pitchers, were to join their mates at camp today, having reached the Springs without checking in at Perry stadium. They came up from the south. Johnny Cooney, Ernie Wingard, Jim Turner and Pete Daglia, all labeled first-flight hurlers, and who as a group form the core of the mound staff, are holdouts. It is believed, however, that they will surrender sooner or later when realization of the new economic conditions sinks in. The Indians will remain at French Lick until March 28, after which they will journey south to play exhibition tilts at Memphis, Ft. Worth and Dallas, closing at Dallas April 6. This is an unusual arrangement and is exactly opposite to the general order. In other words, the Hoosiers are going to tune up in the north and then go south, whereas heretofore they have pitched their first camp in Dixieland and then worked north. The only exhibition games at Perry stadium will be on April 8 and 9 with St. Paul, after the Killefer pastimers finish barnstorming in Texas. The American Association championship race will open on Tuesday, April 11, with Milwaukee at Indianapolis. Owner Norman A. Perry will go to French Lick early this week to watch his hopefuls go through the paces. Walter Riley, secretary, and Dale Miller, assistant secretary, are staying on the job at the stadium here to settle all details for the opening of the new A. A. campaign. u u tt a a a ROSS RELIEVED READY FOR TITLE GO MANY fistic followers think the boxer who stands the best chance of lifting the lightweight crown from Tony Canzoneri's brow is a tough little Jewish lad, born in New York under the name of Rasofsky, who fights under the name of Barney Ross and now liveg in Chicago. The old burgomaster of beak busting, Jack Dempsey, says a bout between Ross and Canzoneri would be a national headliner. Three years ago Barney was just another fighter doing his daily dozen for the ham and eggs. Since then he has had some forty-five fights, winning eighteen by knockouts and losing only two or three close scraps. The Chicago lad sprang into prominence after a one-sided victory over Bat Battalino, former featherweight champion. After that he was ranked fourth by the National Boxing Association. Barney’s recent record seems to warrant a championship shot. Not long ago Ross scored a quick second-round knockout over Johnny Datto at Pittsburgh, packed his bag and hurried back to Chicago for a fight with Tommy Grogan. t Tommy was a tougher test than Datto, The Irisher, during a ring career that extends from 1925, has scored victories over Billy Petrolle, Johnny Jadick. who lost his junior welterweight title in New Orleans recently; Lope Tenorio, Joe Glick and others. Grogan also went ten fast and furious rounds against Canzoneri, to drop a decision. But Barney took the veteran Tommy in his stride, giving away seven pounds. He scored three nine-count knockdowns, and won every one of the ten rounds. Ross is another of those national Golden Gloves amateur winners who has turned pro to a good advantage. He never entered a gymnasium until he was 18. A year later he won a place on the Chicago Golden Gloves team and went to New York to win the intercity title. o tt tt a a ts HE CAN ALWAYS GO BACK TO HIS ACCORDION FRANKIE SIMMS, Cleveland heavyweight boxer, achieved some fame a few years ago as one of the most promising big fellows in the punch racket, but after a lew hard battles, the Forest City thumper fizzled. Now Frankie's brother, Eddie Simms. Cleveland's accordion king, has taken up where his brother left off and is being made ready for big time in fistiana. On nights when Eddie isn’t folding up opponents he is mashing notes out of his music box as leader of a dance band that is popular among the young guys and gals in Cleveland parts. Eddie has scored twenty-one knockouts in twenty-one fights, fourteen of them in one round. His recent strong showing against Adolph and Hans Birkie has brought him national recognition. HANS ONCE HELD UP WHOLE INFIELD* THE Pirates have a youthful infield in Gus Suhr, 26; Tony Piet, 25, and Floyd Vaughn, 21. Traynor at third, is the only veteran, and he is 33. j But Hans Wagner recalls that the Pirates won a pennant in 1909 with an infield with even less experience than the present one. Wagner was playing short then, but none of the others in the inner defense ever had played a full season of major league ball. Abstein was at first, “Dots” Miller at second, and Byrne at third. Jap Barbeau was j utility man. These four all had come up from the bushes for their first season in big time and that team went on to defeat the Tigers in the world series. OFF UNITED*PRESS TELETYPES CHARLIE GEHRINGER. star second baseman, didn't cost owner Frank Navin a penny when he joined Detroit. He was found playing semi-pro ball and the Tigers signed him. Michigan university has another Negro star to carry on the traditions of Dehart Hubbard and Eddie Tolan. He is Willis Ward, end on the varsity football team and one of the best high-jumpers in the midwest. Paul De Give, goalie on the Harvard hockey team which won the unofficial intercollegiate title by whipping Yale two games out of three, comes from Atlanta, where the only ice is cracked ice. Every member of the Yale basketball team is a waiter in the university dining hall. The first baseball club to leave its home grounds lor spring training was the Washington Senators who were taken into Virginia by Manager Schmeltz in 1895. Don Brennan, leading hurler in the International League last year and likely addition to the New York Yankees’ staff this year, is an undertaker. Johnny Hodapp of the Boston Red Sox is another mortician playing ball.

Brooklyn Fans Optimistic — Judge, Beck May Make Dodgers N. L. Flag Contenders
BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Teleeram Snorts Editor MIAMI. Fla.. March 13.—The Brooklyns finished nine games back of the pace-setting Chicago Cubs a year ago. Broadly speaking, that means the Brooklyns must improve by nine games to be a contender this year. Can they do it? The answer is they have a chance. They didn't look any too hot against the Athletics Sunday—and Sunday was a day when it was no trick at all to look hot. I mean to say the sun was in there bearing down all the way. Even so, there was an excuse for the Brooklyns They had to swing against Grove. Earnshaw and Walberg, in order. There was more disorder than order. Cornelius McGillicuddy’s big three were buzzing the ball through the slot with a great deal of power ( for this time of year, and the Brook-

Kokomo First Foe for Shortridge in Finals Only Three of 1932 Contenders Return This Year: Newcastle, Defending Champion, Ousted; Five Newcomers in First Title Carnival. BY DICK MILLER Already victorious in sectional and regional tournament tests during the last ten days, sixteen Indiana high school hardwood teams opened intensive practice today in preparation for their march on Butler university fieldhouse next Friday and Saturday, where final elimination games will determine the champion of Hoosierdom for 1933. Survivors of a field of 771 teams that sought the state title on the morning of March 3, the sixteen teams remaining represent every section of the state. Among the sixteen, which are Shortridge of Indianapolis, Logansport, Greencastle, Valparaiso, Wakarusa, Beaver Dam. Hazelton, Vincennes, Bedford, Martinsville, Franklin, Connersville, Michigantown, Kokomo, Muncie and North Side of Ft. Wayne, are five teams that never before took part in a I. H. S. A. A. final tournament. The five are North Side, Beaver. Dam, Wakarusa, Michigantown and Hazelton. Valparaiso played in the state finals in 1916. Michigantown comes to the event undefeated through regular season, sectional and regional play. This feat has been duplicated before, although not recently. Vincennes, Connersville and Greencastle are the only three teams who came to the final event last year who were able to return this year.

The sixteenth annual Elks national tournament will open on the Pritchett Recreation alleys, Saturday March 18, with 147 five-man teams, 217 sets of doubles and 435 individuals enrolled to try for the championship's in the different events. Anew system of play that should prove popular to the visiting bowlers is the schedule that disposes of all local teams before the ' isitors arrive. In former tourname ; the city that acted as host to thi. tourney rolled its booster teams and saved the fast teams for the final day of the meet. This year’s meet requires all Indianapolis players to roll their team event, doubles and singles nest Saturday and Sunday. This rule will be followed for both the booster and regular team entrants and will be enforced. Out-of-town teams will start their play Saturday, March 25, and continue until mid-April. Chairman C C Cray also wishes to announce that any local'Elk in good standing will be placed on a team if he desires to bowl. It you are not placed just put in an appearance t the Pritchett drives next Saturday and you will be taken care of. While no records for entries were broken, local officers are well-pleased with the enrollment and will take care of all visitors in a style that will make the 1933 meet a pleasant memory. The Reformed Church League turned the tables on the Louisville Reformed Church boys when they defeated them in the final half of their home-and-home match on the Pritcet alleys Saturday nigt, 20.579 to 20 237. The grand total for the match was Indianapolis 40.629; Louisville. 40.346. The locals’ margin was 342 pins in the final match and 283 pins for the entire set. Bud Schock and Charlie Cray led the local boys with totals of 629 and 622. as C. Geiser rolled 604 for the visitors. This is the first time these leagues have ever met in match play, but the success of this venture is certain to make it an annual event that the members of both leagues will look forward to. John Blue, rolling-anchor for the Citizens Gas team in a special match against the Hoosier Pete team at the Illinois alleys, scored a perfect 300 game in his second try. Blue’s other games were 200 and 215. a total of 715, that led the Citizens team to a grand total of 3,091 and an easy win over the Hoosier Pete boys. W. Heckman. Dawson and Kelley rolled 608. 605 and 603, as Werner was the only member of the losing team to hit in stride, his sheet showing a total of 624.

During other sets rolled this season, the mark of any of these teams during Sunday’s play would have copped high honors. The individual scoring was also brilliant. Johnny Rice rolling 949 to lead. John Blue was a close second with 947. Bill Burnett had 943; Dad Hanna. 928; Ahearn, 893; Nordholt, 80: Wheeler, 874; Abbott. 865; Barrett, 864: Weisman. 862: Mounts. 859: Heiss. 848: Schoch. 845: O'Grady, 841: Vollmer. 837: Hornbeck. 836: Hardin, 835; Mahonev. 834: Mark. 831: Spencer. 827: Carmin. 824; Fehr. 821: Johnson, 816. and Bowen. 810.

He has been operated on oftener than the constitution The surgeons had him laid up all last season. Bissonette is down here working out. but he is still a puzzle. Asa matter of fact, Manager Max Carey indicates Bissonette will not figure in his starting plans. The job has definitely gone to Judge. How long he will hold it depends on himself. In any case, it seems pretty generally agreed that Bissonette will not be ready before June at the earliest. Judge looked all right in the two games against the Athletics and I have a notion that he is going to continue to look all right throughout the year. He's a good curve bail hitter and the National is a curve ball league. He'll hit better in the
INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, MARCH 13, 1933
Newcastle, defending champion, fell by the wayside in.regional play at Muncie Saturday, losing to the Bearcats, 19 to 14. Winamac, runnerup last year, was dropped by Wakarusa at Mishawaka. Four of the sixteen teams are exchampions. Franklin won the championship three times consecutively in 1920. 1921 and 1922, in addition to being runnerup in 1912. Martinsville won titles in 1924 and 1927 and was runnerup in 1928. M-uncie is another two-time winner, in 1928 and 1931, and was runnerup twice, in 1923 and 1930. Vincennes had a championship team in 1923. Kokomo was runnerup in 1925. Greencastle was runnerup in 1931. Shortridge Five Returns Shortridge, winners of the Indianapolis regional was in the final event in 1931, when it nearly upset the defending champions, Washington. Three other teams in the big show this year are also well known quality. Logansport. Connersville and Bedford have all exhibited strong fives in past years and staged thrilling upsets, although none of them in spite of their pretournament favor, ever were able to get into a final game. There will be few if any of the ticket holders for games next Friday that will not be on hand for the first tilt at 9 a. m. After recalling that little Cicero upset Vincennes, a title hope, in the first game last year, 17 to 16, try and keep them away. This year Logansport, another favorite, will be called upon to battle the undefeated Michigantown team in the first game and the fireworks may start there. There is another possibility at 10 a. m., when Greencastle, another title hope, clashes with Wakarusa. The Vincennes-Connersville tilt at 11 a. m. should be unusually hard fought, while Shortridge has a great chance to advance to the second round with Kokomo as a firstround opponent. Valparaiso, back after seventeen years, absence, catches Martinsville in its first game, and Hazelton meets a supreme test in Bedford. The Franklin-Muncie affair should be a thriller, while two newcomers, North Side of Ft. Wayne and Beaver Dam, fight it out between themselves in the last firstround game at 8:30 Friday night. Logansport Survives Many of the regional tournaments wound up as expected. Shortridge breezed through, as did Greencastle, Connersville, Martinsville, Michigantown and Vincennes. Bedford had a tough time with Jeffersonville to gain a one-point 23-to-22 victory. Logansport, forced into overtime to defeat Chalmers in the afternoon game, found it tough going to defeat Delphi, 61 to 14, in the final. Franklin, after going double overtime to whip Greensburg in the afternoon. nosed out Columbus at night, 27 to 21. After being pressed to set down Central of Eansville in the afternoon, 15 to 11, Hazleton found the going easy at night and downed Boonville. 25 to 13. After toying with Greenfield, 27 to 15, in the afternoon, when they led , 23 to 4. at half time, Shortridge was little pressed by Pittsboro at night. Big Jim Seward contributed ten field goals to a 41 to 25 total. Pittsboro had tough going to triumph over Markleville in the afternoon, 22 to 19, staving off a last minute rally by the Anderson sectional winners.

National than he did in the American. Judge is a master of one of the most difficult fielding plays in the game—the double play in which the first baseman fields a ground-hit ball to second base for a force out, and scurries back to first to get the return throw for the second out. He worked it twice against the Athletics. tt tt a THE only Brooklyn pitcher who didn't need an apology in Sunday's bout was Beck, the leading minor leaguer of 1932 who came up from Memphis in the Southern Association. The Athletics got two hits and two runs off him in three innings. Both the hits and the runs were unearned. Fly balls lost in the sun went for triples. The Brooklyns outbid the Giants to get Beck. He had won twentyseven games and lost six. besides leading the league in strikeouts. He

stands six feet, 2 and weighs 185 pounds. He has the facial characteristics of Hornsby and there is something about his pitching mannerisms that remind you of Waite Hoyt. Beck is not exactly a raw rookie. George Sisler signed him for the St. Louis Browns back in 1924. He was a kid semi-pro pitcher at the time. He didn’t want- to sign with Sisler because he had a good job as a bookkeeper in Decatur, 111. However he was willing to come over and pitch for the American Leaguers over the week-end. Beck settled down with Memphis three years ago, and developed a consistency he never had shown before. He won sixteen and lost seven and helped pitch the team to the pemiant in 1930. The next year he won nineteen and lost eleven. Last year he turned in the astonishing record of twenty-seven wins and six defeats.

Ruth May Sign Today Babe and Yankee Owner to Confer on 1933 Salary. By United Prrss ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.. March 13.—Babe Ruth went into a huddle with Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, today, and most of the experts in camp believed they would emerge with an agreement on Ruth’s 1933 contract.

Ruth objected strenuously to an offer of $50,000 for this, his fourteenth season with the Yanks, a reduction of $25,000 from the 1932 stipend. He has indicated he will take $60,000. Upon his arrival Sunday. Colonel Ruppert said he would resist strongly Ruth's efforts to obtain more than $50,000. "I believe $50,000 is a lot of money for doing anything in these times.” he said. If the Babs accepts $60,000. it will be his lowest salary since 1927, when he received $30,000. His salary jumped to $52,000 in 1922 and rose to its maximum of SBO,OOO for the seasons of 1930 and 1931. In 1932 it was reduced to $75,000.
