'T'HE Indians will pull stakes in the Lone Star state ThursA day niffht and head for home and Perry stadium. The fans here will receive their first glimpse of the Killefer pastimers in an exhibition tilt with St. Paul Saturday afternoon. The Tribesmen and Apostles also will wage warfare on Sunday and on Monday the Hoosiers will take a light drill and polish ofT for the opening day struggle with Milwaukee on Tuesday at 3 p. m. In the two exhibition treats the Perry stadium rooters will view an old friend at the helm of the visitors. Emmet McCann, the 1932 pilot of the Indianapolis aggregation. The Northmen trained at Louisville and it is said Prexy Bob Connery has announced that he believes his 1933 crew will rid itself of the cellar complex. Last season the Saints started and stayed in last place until the closing days of the campaign, finally climbing out of the hole to make room for Louisville. The 1932 St. Paul club was fast in the field and got good pitching at times, but the boys were unable to bat in the runs. The team lost many games by one-run margins, but had the honor of being the only nine in the American Association to establish a winning edge over the pennant-winning Minneapolis Millers. Manager Killefer of the Indians has put in a lot of hard work prepping his machine for the new race and recent exhibition contests in Texas have demonstrated that the Hoosier tossers have located their batting eyes. The home fans, therefore, are eager to see the athletes exhibit their wares. Killefer is not altogether satisfied with the mound work of the Tribe, but there are several days left before the official bell rings and he is sure to "bear down” on the hurlers. The new Indian chief has plenty of valuable experience behind him and is not likely to overlook anything in the way of preparations. In the meantime plans are going ahead for the booster arrangements and the Chamber of Commerce athletic committee is confident the oldfashioned faseball spirit will bo on top locally when the umpries call the pastimers into action Tuesday. from surgery to the diamond* I pRANK DEMAREE. young Pacific Coast outfielder who has been assigned to cover center field for the Chicago Cubs as a result of Kiki Cuyler going on the shelf with a broken leg, broke in with the Bruins late last season and saw service in the world's series, blasting a home run in the final game, which was just another loss for the Cubs. A story came to light recently that pul the youngster high in the estimate of his bosses. Bill Veeck. president of the Chicago team, entered into a conversation with Demaree this spring, during the course of which Bill said: “You are heavier. Where did you pick up the extra weight? Last summer you were under weight.” "I had my tonsils lifted,” Frank told the prexy. "When?” Veeck inquired. “Last summer,” the kid replied. "During the time you were playing?” Veeck asked, surprised. ‘ Yes. I was afraid to take a chance to ask for days off then and I kept on playing, fighting for my job,” Demaree explained. It just goes to show to what lengths some rookies will go when they first break in the majors. Tire average veteran would take at least a week off. a tt tt tt tt tt LIKES HIS DOGS, BUT NOT IN OVEN ONE of the toughest appearing grunt-and-groaners in the business is Tommy Marvin, the Oklahoma Indian, whom the press agents have named, appropriately, "Bulldog.” They like to tell about the toughness of this Redskin, and he has been the central figure in many practical jokes. In the first place, Tommy is a dog fancier. Hit pet bulldog is entered in a canine show at Birmingham and Marvin put in a long distance call from here Tuesday to find out how his pooch finished in the blue ribbon event. The Indian grappler tells the best one on himself. It happened in Paducah. Ky., not long ago. Tire story had been circulated that Tommy was a dog fancier. The yarn reached the ears of a very young and green mat follower, who asked another grappler, "Does that Indian really eat dogs?” "Certainly,” replied the wrestler. “He'll give any of you boys $5 for a fat young dog. Just take it to that all-night restaurant down there. They know how he likes It cooked.’’ "And there must have been 200 kids with 200 dogs there when I went out for lunch at noon,” concludes Tommy, who is a dog fancier, but not in the edible way. COAST LEAGUE LIFTS BASEBALL LID The Pacific Coast League, Class AA. the same as the American Association, is the first of the baseball loops to lift the lid. The far west ! circuit opened Tuesday with bargain admission prices and attendance ; was encouraging. This is the league that was on the point of folding in July of 1932 and baseball prominents everywhere were interested in the gate records of Tuesday. San Francisco drew the biggest crowd. 10.000, the Seals defeating the champion Portland club, 2 to 1. At Oakland the Oaks downed the San Francisco Misions, 3 to 1, before 9.500, and Sacramento nosed out Hollywood at Sacramento, 8 to 7, with 7,000 fans on hand. Los Angeles, with a big population, drew the smallest attendance, 6,000, as the Angels j defeated Seattle, 3 to 2. tt a tt o tt tt RALPH METCALF, Marquette university Negro dash champion, lias become so famous the department of journalism of his school is doing its best to dig up life's oddities to give its great star the fullest amount of publicity.

Repaid Made Second Derby Choice at Price of 15 to 1

by henry mlemore United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April s.—The arrival of considerable sums of what . is known to the trade as "right money” has resulted in Commissioners Tom Shaw of New York and Tom Kearney of St. Louis dropping the winter book odds on half a dozen of the more prominent Kentucky Derby candidates. The biggest lump of “right money" t money from customers supposedly in a position to know) arrived with instructions to play it on Repaid. James F. Johnsons sound 3-year-old. So today. Repaid was no longer a 25-to-l shot, but was down to 15 in both the major books. This price made the horse second choice for the classic, only Ladysman (10 to 1 by Shaw, 8 to 1 by Kearney) being better liked. There is a strong possibility that Johnson's hope will oust Ladysman as favorite before long, for there has been little betting on the latter recently. Apparently the boys want to see how Ladysman. who was ••fired" during the winter, responds

Bill Klem Approves Aggressive Player, but Rowdies Are Out!

by tom me any Kew York World-Telegram Sports Writer Richmond, va.. April 5. At times as they barnstorm homeward through the sticks, the Dodgers may be guilty of exhibitions that border on the bush league, but one thing about their performances en route to Flat bush tha. is certain to be big league is the umpiring. It couldn't be otherwise with William Klem twirling the indicator. Klem runs the exhibitions in big league style—and how he runs ’em! Klem is absolute dictator on the be’.! Add.

Phipps' Enthusiast (500 to 1); Lee Rosenberg's Kerry Patch (25 Shaw, 30 Kearney t: W. S. Kilmer's Sun Apollo (200'; F. A. Griffith’s Sarada (20) and C. V. Whitney's The Darb (20, Shaw. 25.

Bradley's Boilermaker, and the 25 to 1 i offered by Shaw and 15 to 1 by j Kearney on Charley O. winner of the recent Florida Derby, as the most attractive propositions in the' winter books. Both Boilermaker and Charley O. are gaining support and their odds are expected to fall. SILENT HOOSIERS BOW Silent Hoosiers dropped their first \ diamond tilt of the season here* Tuesday to Greenfield. 10 to 8. The locals outhit the victors, eleven to! six. but errors and ineffective pitching cost the decision.

When you see Bill making the I right decisions day after day, year i after year, you come to the conclu- ! sion that there may be something in this dictator stuff. Bill is starting lus twenty-ninth season in the National League, with sixteen world series to ins credit. There have been vague grumblings from the sidelines by some owners that the umpires have too much authority and that baseball is slipping because the players are cowed. These grumblings in turn i have drawn grumbles frem Klem, i and when Klem grumbles he sounds ' like Vesuvius with a touch of i asthma.

Tribe Bows to Texans Dallas Takes Contest in Ten Innings; Indians Pound Ball. By Times Special FT. WORTH. Tex.. April s.—The diamond pastimers piloted by Wade Killefer were nosed out, 10 to 9, in ten innings at Dallas Tuesday when their pitching folded up, but the Tribe manager was pleased by the fashion in which his boys blasted out the base hits. The losing Hoosiers collected sixteen blows, including doubles by Sigafoos and White and a triple by Sigafoos. Fuzzy Hufft, right fielder, led the Indians in total safeties, poling three singles. Dallas collected thirteen hits and one of the smashes was a circuit drive by Jeanes. Brower, Steers’ shortstop, poked out three hits, one a double. Bill Thomas opened on the Tribe mound and was touched for eight hits in six innings. George Smith relieved and failed to puzzle the Steers, After the Indians tied up the game by scoring three runs m the eighth and two in the ninth Hubbell opened the tenth for Dallas with a double and Moreliart drew a pass. A shower halted the contest at this point for ten minutes and when action was resumed Brower doubled to score Hubbell with the game winning tally. Gliatto and Hubbell divided the pitching for the Steers. The Indians were back at their spring training base today and were scheduled to hook up with the Ft. Worth Panthers this afternoon. On Thursday the Hoosiers will return to Dallas for their last game in the south, leaving Thursday night for Indianapolis.

But I failed to get over to third base in time and the ball bounded out into left field where Fred Clarke, our manager, was playing. Os course, the runner scored. I looked out into left field. Claske stood there, waving his arms in disgust. But the catcher and I still decided it was a good play. The following week we were playing in a tighst National League game at Brooklyn and I signalled the catcher to pull that trick, play. We caught the baserunner flatfooted, for that time I got over to third in time to take the throw'. The play probably saved the game for us. I looked out in left field again.

Ladysman next sallied forth in the Arlington Futurity on July 30, beating a smart field in this rich event to capture a purse of $38,010. Ladysman continued liis brilliant form at Saratoga where he annexed major honors in the United States to earn an additional ten thousand odd. He ran second in the Saratoga Special, a sweepstakes, bowing to Happy Gal, but turned the tables on his filly conqueror a fortnight later when he won the Grand Union Hotel stakes, also worth upward of SIO,OOO. The Hopeful stakes, early in September, was Ladysman's fifth and final triumph of the year. It was also his largest purse, netting $41,000. Acclaimed the champion juvenile of the season on his arrival at Belmont park, Ladysman was installed favorite in the Futurity. He had all the breaks against him in the running of that race, however, and finished second to Kerry Patch. Shipped to Havre de Grace, Maryland, the Coe racer started in an overnight stake, but was so badly injured that he failed to finish in the money. He was forced to pass up the Pimlico Futurity and was retired for the season. Latest reports from Maryland, where Bud Stotler is training Ladysman along with the charges of the Sagamore stable, say last year’s champion has gained close to 150 pounds over the winter and is as hard as nails. He has been given four miles daily exercise since late in February and has already begun training in speed trikls. It is planned to start him first in a sprint test and then a distance race at the forthcoming meeting of the Harford Agricultural and Breeders’ Association’s course at Havre de Grace, before shipping to Kentucky.

A. A. Prexy Optimistic Better Attendance, Close Race Predicted by T. J. Hickey. By United I'rran CHICAGO, April s.—Rapidfire events of the last sixty days have Brought about a general uplift in new season prospects of the American Association baseball race, and Thomas J. Hickey, veteran President of the circuit, views the future with an expansive smile. "The affairs of the league are definitely in good shape, ’ said Hickey. “I suppose I am expected to be optimistic, but I feel a lot better about the Association than I did a short time ago. The Kansas City outlook was dark. Toledo was in trouble. Louisville was expected to be m difficulties any minute. Add to 'hose troubles the general depression and you have an American Association which kept me awake at nights. Keyser Is Showman "Now Toledo is in good hands and a local organization there has awakened keen interest. W. F. Kneblekainp will run the Louisville club while it is in receivership. President Lee Keyser at Kansas City is a real showman and has the chamber of commerce behind him. He also has Tris Speaker and Joe Brown as partners and there's a trio which will bring real interest and a real ball club to Kansas City." How about expenses? Will there be trouble along that line? "Our expenses are being cut materially,” went on the veteran A. A. prexy. "Reduced railroad fares and substantial cuts in hotel rates make the future very rosy” Does the broadcasting of major league games hurt Association gate receipts? Uncertain About Radio "Well, I'm not certain. Bill Veeck, Cubs’ president, is strong for radio, but it might be a different story if the Cubs were a losing team. I believe radio hurts baseball early in the season when the weather is uncertain. I have no way of knowing whether it actually keeps people away from Asvsociation games.” Will gate receipts pick up this year? "They should. People have more confidence now. I never was really disturbed about falling off of receipts. That is, I felt that it was natural. All business was bad, and baseball business was not nearly so bad as in other lines.” How' about the flag race? "Now, I don't know about that. Other presidents are predicting tight races, so that will do for me. We should have a good race.” WALNUT GARDENS TO OPEN ON APRiL 23 Walnut Gardens speedway, located six miles southwest of Indianapolis, will be operated during the 1933
