By Eddie Asti Tribe Secretary Transferred to Ft. Worth 999 Hens Pleased With New Third Sacker • 99 Eastern Skaters May Visit City Rink

''JpHE genial Walter Riley, secretary of the Indians, was packing his luggage and household goods today, preparing to move to Ft. Worth, Tex., where he will become associated with the Cats baseball club of the Texas League. An Indianapolis resident for years, Riley will regret leaving the Hoosier capital, but at the same time he has visited in Ft. Worth and is enthusiastic about the city and its promise as a baseball winner. Norman A. Perry, owner and president of the Indianapolis club, purchased part interest in the Ft. Worth team this winter and Riley will serve as his representative there. Walter will drive to the Lone Star state and his family will follow later by train. The Indians will

invade Ft. Worth and Dallas shortly for several exhibition games and Riley will have all arrangements completed when they arrive from French Lick. Manager Killefer of the Tribesmen will take his squad to Texas far enough ahead of the games to allow for a few days of hard practice where warm wea’her prevails, stopping ofT at Memphis for two tilts. The Hoosier squad will depart Friday from their spring camp at French Lick, where damp weather has slowed up their progress. Riley will become treasurer at Ft. Worth. He has gained valuable experience since joining the Indians a few years ago while they still were at old Washington park. He acted as road secretary, assistant secretary and manager of concessions before becoming elevated to the post of secretary. It is said he may return to Indianapolis next fall. Chief Killefer of the Indians made a hurried visit to Indianapolis Monday, returning to French Lick in

the afternoon. He left Bid Burwell, veteran pitcher, in charge pf the squad. The section of golf course being used as a diamond was under water, but the players moved to high ground and went through a couple of workouts. aa Boa DETORE MAKES UP FOR LOSS OF HALE l> ELEASE of third baseman George Detore to Toledo by Cleveland iv should prove a balm to soothe the Mud Hens’ loss of Odell Hale for there was very little difference in the work of the two men last season. Detore, who held down the hot sack for Buffalo in the International League race in 1932, batted .317 against .333 for Hale. He drove in 97 runs to 110 for Hale, and there was a difference of only one game in the work of the pair, Detore playing in 157 and Hale in 158. Hale collected 36 doubles, Detore 39; the ex-Mud Hen had it over his successor in triples with a count of 22 to 4, but Detore retaliated in the home run column, smashing 24. while Hale hit 11. Detore also appears to be a better fielder, his 1932 average of .952 giving him 40 points over Hale. Detore broke into the limelight last year when he celebrated Memorial day against the Toronto club by getting six hits and scoring six runs in a seven-inning game, the finale of a double-header. The Mud Hen third sacker. an Italian from Utica, N. Y., is a graduate of Colgate university. George started playing pro ball in 1929, when Cleveland signed him ! and sent him to Decatur of the Three-I League. He registered his first j year, batting up among the leaders with .342. The next two years he j spent at New Orleans, clubbing .333 and .304. He started 1931 with i Cleveland, but was deemed not ready and went back to New Orleans. J Detore, a righthander, will be 26 years old next Armistice day. He is j 5 feet B>g inches in height and weighs 175. B B B B B B ROLLER POLO FANS DELIVER IN PINCH THE benefit skating party given last week at the Riverside rink for Roy Jennings, who lost an eye while playing rush for the Riverside Rink team in the amateur league, was a big success, and over two hundred dollars was turned over to Jennings. Returns from tickets yet out may bring in considerably more, it was stated today by Roy Byers, manager of the rink. The characteristic generosity of sports fans was again exemplified. Tuffy was introduced to the roller polo audience Sunday afternoon at Tomlinson hall, and was given a rousing ovation. The unfortunate accident has not dimmed his enthusiasm for polo, and he states he will be out for the team next season as a goal tender. Sponsors of the local professional roller polo team are negotiating with the New England league to bring an all-star team of players here to play the Indianapolis club in a post-season game. Several of the old-time stars, who shone a quarter of a century ago in this part of the country, are playing in the eastern loop, and it is likely local fans would relish seeing them again in action. If plans go through, the eastern team would play two games at Richmond and two here at Tomlinson hall, it is said.

Frisch to Open Work Frankie Expects to Sign Terms, Join Cards This Week. fill United Press NEW YORK. March 21.—Frankie Frisch expects to be quartered in the St, Louis Cardinals training camp at Bradenton, Fla., within one week, he told the United Press today. Frisch, whose salary difference with the Cards is second in baseball interest only to that of Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees, said he expected the word momentarily that would start him south. “I'm waiting for a reply to a letter I wrote Saturday,” he said. ‘‘l offered to come in for slightly less money than I first asked, and for slightly more than the second offer made by the club.” Frisch was reminded that Cardinal club officials announced definitely and publicly that “no player would receive more than SIO,OOO this season.” He was asked if that restriction applied in his case, at least as far as the original offer was concerned. “It was something like that,” he replied. Frisch looks healthy and fit. Miller , Dado in Ring Title Bout Tty United Press LOS ANGELES. March 21.—For the second time within a month, Freddie Miller, Cincinnati, will defend his N. B.

Casey Stengel Is Always Handy With Comedy to Cheer Players

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor MIAMI, Fla., March 21.—Humor is a precious thing in any profession, in baseball doubly so because of its rarity, and the Brooklyn club is privileged to have among its employes the standout humorist in baseball, Casey Stengel. John McGraw was telling me at a dinner here the other night of Arlie Latham, the first of the baseball comedians. “He gave me many a laugh,” said McGraw, “and in return I'd be willing to give Arlie my last dime.” Such is the price that so astute a judge as McGraw places on laughs in baseball. At that same affair, Stengel sidled up to McGraw on the dais, whispered a word or two to his old boss and slipped away, leaving Mac convulsed with chuckles. Jack Hendricks, former manager of the Cincy Reds, turned to me. “There’s a guy,” said Jack, indicating Stengel, “who gave McGraw more sleepless nights and more laughs than any other man in baseball. And the old man loves him.” It is impossible to compute StenDavis Is Landed for Mat Event Wee Willie Davis, “Virginia Giant,” will return to Indianapolis next Monday night to headline the wrestling show of the Hercules A. C. at Tomlinson hall. His opponent has not been named.

Davis, a 235pounder. has been reinstated by A1 Feeney, supervisor of wrestling and boxing in Indiana, after having been suspended several weeks ago following a rough match with Dr. Ralph Wilson in a Muncie ring. His bout at Tomlinson hall Monday night will be his first local appearance since the Muncie tussle.

The big Virginian is of the rough and tumble type and matchmaker Lloyd Carter plans to match him with a worthy opponent of national reputation. Carter also plans two strong supporting bouts to the headline match. THREE TITLE EVENTS TOP I. A. C.

Two left-handed liurlers, a busy shortstop, and an up-and-coming first baseman are four of Manager Roger Peckinpaugh’s reasons for believing the Cleveland Indians will be pennant contenders. At the left is shortstop Fill Knickerbocker, from Tcledo. The two southpaws above are Bill Perrin. New Orleans, left, and Forrest Twogood, Toledo.

gel’s worth to the Brooklyn club. Where Max Carey, a former divinity student, might be inclined to hold a bit aloof from his players, Casey holds daily gab sessions in the lobby of the Miami-Biltmore, awed not a bit by its splendor. His leathery face, mobile and expressive, works overtime as he relates his experiences, actual and fancied. Casey was the hero of the world series in 1923, even though the Giants were beaten by the Yankees. He won two of the games with a home run, one of them by a l-to-0 score. And he swears that the first home run, which he hit inside the park at Yankee stadium in the opening game, almost prevented his getting married. “How?” inquired the old colonel, who by now had his second wind and was able to sneak in a question. “How? How?” snorted Stengel, who really doesn’t need questions to help him. “Here’s how—all them big-shot sports writers, the syndicate guys, are covering the series. And they sit down and bang out big leads—all like this: “Aged Stengel circles bases while his venerable dogs bark like bloodhounds.” “Casey comes to the bat from a wheel chair.” “Long, white beard no handicap to veteran outfielder.” Pardon me, Mr. Williams was you one of ’em? The family of the girl I’m engaged to has never seen me and they read all this in the California papers. When I go out there to get married, they are raising hell with the girl, saying she was a fool to throw herself away on a man older than her father. And when they saw me, they still weren’t sure but what the sports writing guys had me tabbed properly.” This is just a sample of how Stengel spends his hours off the ball field. It doesn't do his act justice, for no typewriter has yet been invented that can record the facial gyrations of Casey as he illustrates his yarns.

Indiana Tops Field of 30 in Butler Relays * Michigan. Illinois, Pitt and Marquette Other Ace Contenders for Governor Paul V. McNutt Cup in First Annual Indoor Carnival Here Saturday. Three leading Big Ten teams will provide the class of the Butler relays at the fieldhouse Saturday afternoon and night in which nearly thirty outstanding schools will compete. Indiana U, Western Conference champion, and the two runners-up, Michigan and Illinois, again will be the favorites. Marquette and Pittsburgh also will threaten the trio of schools. Coach E. C. Hayes of Indiana is sending a squad of twenty-one stars to Indianapolis and the Hoosiers appear the favorite of the meet. Several crack relay combinations and individual performers will combine in an effort to carry away high point honors and the Governor's trophy donated * by Governor Paul V. McNutt. Important in the Indiana roster are Hornbostel, Fuqua, Matson, Neese. Crouch, Biddinger, Divich. and Martich.

Governor Paul V. McNutt will act as honorary referee and Major John L. Griffith of the Big Ten will be the starter. Some of the outstanding teams in the carnival are Pittsburgh. Purdue. D? Pauw. Chicago. Notre Dame. Illinois. Marquette. Western State. Michigan State, Loyola. Butler. Indiana. Miami, Detroit City college and Michigan. Vault Champ Enters The entry of Illinois a few days ago included the two pole-vaulters who carried away the honors in the conference meet. Estil Lennington. who cleared 13 feet 10 inches to shatter the record, will get his chief competition from his team mate. Irving Seely. The illini squad also has a pair of hefty shot-putters who will compete with Dues of Detriot City college, who recently established anew central intercollegiate mark of 48 feet 7'- inches. Another brilliant duel appears in the high jump. Willard Ward, national intercollegiate champion, will represent Michigan, against Murphy of Notre Dame. Both men are undefeated. Metcalfe in Sprints Although all performances will necessarily be new meet records, because it is the first annual event, many of the stars will establish marks that will be hard to break in future years. Included in the entries are many Olympic point getters as well as champions of tire Big Ten and the Central Intercollegiate. Ralph Metcalfe, the speed demon of the Olympics and the winter indoor season, will be the object of attention. As holder of the fortyfifty and seventy-yard dash world's records, Metcalfe will undoubtedly be the chief point getter for Marquette. The meet is the greatest track event ever attempted in the Butler fieldhouse. Coach Herman Phillips of Butler, who is originating the relays, declares that the facilities at the fieldhouse will adequately take care of the large entry list. Reserved boxes will be on the main floor and all general admission tickets will be in the balcony.
