By Eddie Ash Coach Ens Has Kind Words for Phillies * mm Eastern Skaters Challenge Hoosiers • mm Sports Sidelights Gathered at Random

JJOOSIER friends of Chuck Klein, Indianapolis slugger with the Philly Nationals, will be delighted to know that Jewel Ens, Cincinnati coach and former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, thinks the Quakertown brigade of Burt Shotton will win the pennant this year. “Don’t go haywire about the Pirates and Cubs,” Ens told Daniel Daniel of the New York World-Telegram. “Pick the Phillies. They will overpower the league." The reason Ens' prediction is given prominence is because in March, 1932, he boldly announced that the Chicago Cubs would cop the flag. Jewel was with the Detroit Americans at the time, acting as coach under Buckv Harris, but he was familiar with the National circuit as a result of long service a:- coach and pilot at Pittsburgh. Os course. Manager Burt Shotton beat Ens to it in winning the gonfalon for the Phils in March, and Burt's chief argument was Neal Finn, new second sacker obtained from the Brooklyn Dodgers. The keystone position was a nightmare to the Phils last year and dragged down three other top flight pastimers—Hurst at first, Whitney at third and Bartell at short. Bartell was the best shortstopper in the National in 1932. Whitney shared top third base honors with Pie Traynor of the Pirates, and Don Hurst led the league in runs batted in, with 143. The Phillies finished fourth, twelve games behind the winning Cubs. Hurst and Chuck Klein between the-m drove in 280 runs, just eight less than the total compiled by the New York Yankees’ base-hit twins, Ruth and Gehrig. The Quaker backstop department is strong, with Virgil Davis, McCurdy and Todd, and the outfield looks good with Lee, Fullis and Klein, although George Davis, now with the Giants, will be missed. He is rated better than Fullis. Don Hurst is still a holdout, but is expected to accept terms eventually. In the meantime Gus Dugas, outfielder, is playing first, and Lu Blue, a veteran free agent, may be taken on for a trial pending the settlement of the Hurst salary controversy. Fred Brickell and Heathcote are other fly chasers on hand. A total of 796 runs were scored against the Phils last season and the pitchers were to blame, chiefly, although the second base hole got more than one hurler in hot water on many occasions. The team does not possess championship pitching, but Manager Shotton thinks there will be an improvement and places his faith in his attack to get the twirlers over the obstacles. Shotton's club is a real threat and dark horse, at any rate, and if the blasting of the base hits starts early there may be a surprise. Burt’s club is one of those "nothing to lose and everything to gain ’ outfits, which eases the mental burden. ROLLER POLO FEATURE IS PLANNED r T''HERE'S a roller polo classic in the making for Indianapolis and— Richmond. Fred Jean, old-time Hoosier star, now playing in the New England League, has challenged the midwest and has named terms to bring an all-star team out here. He said Eddie Higgins*. famous in the bygone days locally, will be one of his players. Jean has shown few signs of wear despite advanced age and still is capable of creating a lot of havoc on the rollers. Fred wants to match bis club against Indianapolis in two games and against Richmond twice, followed up with a tilt between his stars and a picked quintet from the Hoosier state circuit. Jean wants to barnstorm to Indiana for a week’s stay. Managers of the Indianapolis team have accepted Jean's offer and will consult with Richmond promoters Wednesday night and endeavor to put the deal through. If the Quakers agree, the classic will be on and will be played within two weeks. A feature of this sort doubtless would stir up the old polo followers and bring them out in droves. It would be a cure-all for sore lamps to see the giant Fred Jean parading out on the floor again along with the ancient Eddie Higgins. tt tt tt tt tt tt THE main event for next Friday night's wrestling show at the Armory will bring together Wildcat McCann and Leo Donohue. McCann recently was awarded the decision over Jack Reynolds, who claimed the welter title and had the championship belt in his possession. McCann was given the belt at the conclusion of the match, held at Columbus, 0., and he still has it. However, Reynolds appealed to the w'restltng association and that body has announced that it appears, from information forwarded to it, that Reynolds had pinned McCann, but that the referee missed the fall. McCann is holding on to the belt, asserting he won it fairly, and, to a man up a tree, it would appear that the man with the title belt has at least the most tangible evidence on his side. Therefore, the "Wildcat" is going right ahead with matches defending his debated title. tt tt tt tt tt tt THE Prune Growers’ Association is expected to keep a sharp eye on Jack Fenton, first sacker with the San Francisco Seals. He is the guy who was bartered to the Seals by Memphis for a box of prunes. If he hits .300, the growers may crown him the prune king. The "appetizer deal” may lead to a lot of things. Perhaps anew baseball price list will be formed along the following lines: Hard-hitting outfielder, case of new beer; winning pitcher, box of oranges, box of grajpe fruit (choice); dashing infielder, superior gin scraped right off the boat; pinch hitter, crate of hen fruit (from milk feds); talkative catcher. New England boiling meat (the heel part). tt tt tt tt tt a Tony Polli, veteran righthander, usually effective against the Indians, is now the leading candidate to pitch for Milwaukee in the American Association lid lifter here at Perry stadium next Tuesday. Ashley; Hillin, who won the Milwaukee opener at Toledo in 1932, begged for the assignment here, but Manager Frank O'Rourke has indicated he favors Polli. a a a tt a a Jimmy Crowley's Fordham Rams are out to capture the feminine football customers next fall with snappy attire that is sure to bring out the “ahs" and "ohs.” The warriors will wear gold helmets, maroon jerseys, gold silk pants and maroon stockings with white rings. The boys may have to stage a dress rehearsal before games. tt a tt tt tt a The fiftieth anniversary of the typewriter was celebrated last week.

Minor League Fans Take Their Baseball Seriously—Ask Max Rosenfeld

BY TOM MEYNY Ktw trk World-Telegram Sports Editor I JACKSONVILLE. Fla., April 4. In the last couple of years, many of the smaller minor leagues throughout the country have folded, wheezing sadly like two-dol-lar accordions. And the loss to baseball has been more than just that of a spawning ground for future big leaguers. A severe blow has been dealt the legends and the saaas of the game itself. Easeball in the t3nk circuits is a blood-and-thunder melodrama, with none of the fireworks lacking Rivalries are de p:r rcoted, animosities more b tter.

player in the sticks most certainly earns what little he gets. As in all other sports, so ii is in baseball —the less dough, the more fight. Major league baseball men still speak reverently of the feud of McGraws Giants and the Cubs of Frank Chance, yet suo-h rivalries are common in the smaller circuits. With the Brooklyn Dodgers at present is a young man who can attest to the stormy path of a minor leaguer. He is Max Rosenfeld, a graduate of that incubator of "ig leaguers, the University of Alabama. Maxie knows exactly how seriously players and fans yi the minors take their baseball. Rosenfeld's first vear in professional baseball was in 1927 with Birmingham. Late in the year Birmingham's Barons held a slight kad over New Orleans for first place in. the Southern League. The Pelicans came to A Birmingham for a fivegame series, with every game a sell-out.

Tribe Puts on Barrage Indians Collect 19 Hits and Win 14-2; White Tops Swatters. i By Timet Special DALLAS, Tex., April 4.—Alter walloping the sphere to all corners j Monday to trounce the Dallas Steers ! of the Texas League, the Indians of Wade Killefer were ready for an- ! other joust with the locals today. The ! score Monday was 14 to 2, the Hoo- ! siers collecting nineteen hits, iu- ; eluding two doubles each by White ; and Sigafcos and other doubles by ; Scarritt and Wingard. Shortstop Ray White of the Tribe j led the batting parade, with a perfect day at the plate with four hits and batted in five runs. The rookie also played well in the field. | The Hoosier pastimers turned in errorless ball and practically sunk the Steers in the third inning. Bill Burwell pitched five stanzas for the winners and Lefty Logan hurled four. After the first canto Burwell settled down and the Dallas hirelings were through for the day and were held to five hits over the nine innings. Dallas employed three moundsmen and it was a swatting holiday for Killefer’s men, who have won three times in four starts against Texas League clubs. The Indians have annexed four in six tilts since leaving their training camp at French Lick. Following another scrap with Dallas here today, the Indians will battle the Panthers at Ft. Worth on Wednesday and the Steers again at Dallas Thursday, closing their Texas stay. The Tribe will leave for Indianapolis after the Thursday tilt, and will meet Sa. Paul in two exhibitions at Perry stadium Saturday and Sunday. Floats Desired for Opening Day Baseball opening day boosters desire more floats in the big parade that is planned for next Tuesday, and firms and individuals wanting information on the subject are requested to get in touch with the athletic committee at the Chamber of Commerce. At the Service Club luncheon next Monday at the Indianapolis Athletic Club members of the Indianapolis and Milwaukee teams v/ill be guests, and members of all city luncheon clubs are invited to attend. Governor Paul V.

punch delivered from the rear by a person or persons unknown. “And when I got up,” continued Max, “there were 10,000 fans on the field throwing punches, most of them at me.” Rosenfeld punched back and eventually found himself escorted from the field by four policemen. A patrol wagon met him at the clubhouse and he rode in state to the New Orleans sneezer. Rosey rested in durance vile, still, in uniform, until half past five, when the rap was squared, word reaching the jail that Umpire Bill Brennan had ruled that the game wouldn’t go on until Rosenfeld had been returned. When Rosenfeld leaped from a cab at the park, he found the fighting still in process. Order was restored at six thirty and the game was resumes, four hours after the original outbreak.

Shortstop Ray White

and fell short of A A g/ade last year. He was not included in Manager Killefer’s permanent plans when the Hoosiers went into training this spring, but so far his all-around play has been a surprise. Ray’s fielding weakness last year was on hoppers to his right. Dudley Lee is a holdout, or at least he was still on the unsigned list Monday.

that crashed in the running of the race or in making ready for it were: Top Flight, Equipoise, Povvey, Master Charlie, Tryster, Sun Briar and Dominant. What is in store this year? Is Ladysman—last year’s champ, a good hazard at 10 to 1? Decidedly not. A jinx seems to hover over the leading 2-year-olds of all years. Records point out that, outside of the Immortal Man O’ War and Sweep, no colt or filly that led the division in their baby days came on to occupy the same position at the end of their 3-year-old form. Taking a line through the past performance records of the 118 Derby nominees. Charley 0., Brown Hourless-Clonakilty colt that races in the colors of the late Robert M. Eastman estate warrants serious consideration by those that seek a run for their money in the winter book speculation. While Charley O. did not particularly distinguish himself in his juvenile year, his 3-year-old performances thus far have caused his price to drop from an opening of 200 to 1 down to 25 to 1 by Tom Shaw, veteran New York, betting commissioner. The impressive victory of the brother of Mike Hall in the Florida Derby, marks him as a most formidable candidate over the idle Ladysman. which has yet to face the barrier this season. Rarely has the winner of a winter Derby proved good enough to beat the best of his age in the heat of summer competition. There is but one outstanding exception— Black Gold which won the Louisiana Derby in 1924 and trained on to take the golden jubilee running of the Kentucky Derby less than three months later. In his Florida Derby triumph, Charley O. packed 118 pounds—eight off the scale for an all 3-year-old field. The Hourless colt was fighting for his head at the end of the Hialeah park classic, in which he negotiated a mile-and-an-eighth in 1.49 3-5. It was a particularly good race for a 3-year-old to turn in so early in March. At 25 to 1, Charley O. appears a much better hazard than the yet untried Ladysman, the 10 to 1 futures favorite.
