By Eddie Ash There’s a Flea in the American League S a m m His Name Is Clifton and He Is Good

QNF of the best looking rookies in the southland training camps of big league clubs is a chap trying out for the infield with the Detroit Tigers at Lakeland, Fla. And his mates call him “Flea.” He is Herman Clifton, a mite of a pastimer brought up from the Beaumont club of the Texas loop. Flea has made a hit with Manager Mickey Cochrane and at this moment is giving the regular third baseman, Marvin Owen, a bitter battle for the hot corner station. The guess is, Detroit scribes say, that if Clifton falls short of landing a regular berth he will be retained for utility services. It looks as though the little men are determined to fight back in baseball. Ordinarily the scouts pass up the minor league players of short stature, but now and then a little fellow’ will display so much determination and skill that he wall horn into the picture and compel the baseball experts to admit he is good. Flea Clifton apparently is of that type. One look at Clifton and Frank J. Navin, Detroit owner, said: “He’s an old-fashioned player, from the old school. A twenty-four hour a day ball player.” The Flea gained the distinction of being labeled the No. 1 rookie in camp—and that’s worth a lot. nun a a a THE "Charles Laughton of the mat” is coming to town Tuesday to mix in a “rassling” match with Charlie Strack, the former Olympic Games wrestler of Boston. Witn his whislcvs, Man Mountain Dean of Georgia might pass for Laughton on a movie set (Henry No. 8), but if reports are true the Man Mountain is hard to get along with only when he is in the ring. Out of the arena, the giant Dean is soft-spoken. He says he doesn't know his own strength in the ring, but is willing to go along with persons and serve as an average man when he is not earning his living on the mat. “All I know is to grab ’em and crush,” he says. "I pever had a college education and hardly any education. I don t know anything about teas and receptions and I guess I am one of the few wrestlers without any all-America football background. I never played football, but show me a football player I can't beat.” a a a nan FROM 500 to 5,000! That is the way attendance increased at the New York training camp park at St. Petersberg after Babe Ruth reported for work this spring. Nobody seemed to care much about the club practice stunts until the Big Man appeared. This year may be the last roundup for the Babe, but it’s going to be distressing to the magnates. an * o o IN RHODE ISLAND ice hickey supersedes basketball in the high schools during the winter months and the schools there have their hockey tournaments on the order of the basket tourneys in Indiana. Moreover, the rooters turn out in large numbers and become just as frenzied as Hoosier cage followers. When Mount St. Charles school won the "Little Rhodie” scholastic hockey title recently at least forty girls kissed the victorious goalie. He was nearest to the St. Charles cheer section when the game ended. a an nan AN item in the New York World-Telegram says Glenn Wright, former Brooklyn shortstop, said Kansas City offered him more money to play with*the Blues this year than did the St. Louis Browns. Detroit Tigers or Chicago White Sox. Perhaps the American Association salary agreement has been scrapped, or perhaps Glenn Wright is talking through his hat to belittle the Browns, Tigers and White Sox. Wright used to be the Head Man with K. C. fans before he was sold to Pittsburgh for a small fortune. a a a a a a MANY baseball magnates, in the majors and minors, are giving deep thought to some plan whereby the St. Louis Cardinal’ “chain store” can be abolished. The Cardinal system is reaching out to the point where it threatens to stifle baseball. For instance, a St. Louis scout recently returned from Cuba with an "armload” of young talent. Jimmy Blucher, young second baseman with Brooklyn, was in the Cardinal "chain” last year and said he was No. 274 in the fall when he escaped by being drafted by the Dodgers. In the spring of 1933, Blucher said he was No. 234 in the “chain.” east a a a HEADLINES from The Times’ sports pages ten years ago this month: Luis Firpo announced intention of retiring from the ring. . . .

Ring May Creak as Matmen Groan on Next Armory Bill

Lloyd Carter, matchmaker of the Hercules A. C. that stages the wrestling shows at the Armory, ordered more "horses” today to brace his ring for next Tuesday night’s allheavyweight carnival in which a galaxy of the biggest and roughest grapplers in the game will perform. "I have no fear of the ring crashing.” Carter said, "but at the same time I told the carpenters to put extra braces under the ring. There will be a load of beef in there Tuesday.” The main go will bring together

Posies for A1

ji&ijs&ziwzssk

THE Chicago White Sox got the key to the city of Pasadena, Cal., when they opened their spring training season there, and A1 Simmons was given a floral tribute in the form of a bat and a ball. Here is the Sox slugger and outfielder receiving the posies from Eloise Jones.

George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, 235, known as the Crying Greek of Cripple Creek, Colo. He is one of the mat sport's topnotchers despite the fact he makes funny noises when he loses and almost breaks out in tears. He will be sent against Karl (Doc> Sarpolis, 215, whom all Indianapolis fans know as an experienced and hard-punching wrestler. Sarpolis hails from Chicago university where he was a top flight star in Big Ten mat circles. Karl has met most of the leading heavyweights and never has been known to back up an inch. In the semi-windup Man Mountain Dean. Georgia hill billy weighing 305 and wearing a beard, will make his first Indianapolis appearance against Charlie Strack, prominent Boston heavyweight of 235 tonnage. Strack has the science and Dean the brute strength, and in this match the ring floor doubtless will need the extra “horses.” The prelim bout, at 8:30, will offer the fans a difficult choice for a favorite. Two "bad” men will collide, Tom (.Bad Wolf) Marvin of Oklahoma, and Frank Speer, the Atlanta rough and tumble artist. It looks like wild action from early until late, and as an added treat, Matchmaker Carter will not boost the prices, leaving the ticket costs at 45 cents, general admission, 75 cents reserved seats, and $1 for ringside chairs, all tax paid.

PASTOR MINED COAL WITH HARRY LAUDER Humorous Scot Sang During Work. Missionary Recalls. By United Press ESC AN ADA, Mich., March 2C.— The Rev. D. L. Cathcart, veteran missionary who has been a “sky pilot” in lumber camps for many years, once worked in a coal mine with Sir Harry Lauder. Born in Hamilton, Scotland. Mr. Cathcart started working in the mines at an early age. “Harry was always singing Scotch ditties or giving recitations while at work," the missionary' recalled. “I was driving a pony in hauling coal from the mine while Harry was digging the coal and loading it into cars. “I usually helped him load up my car and when it was filled, Harry would detain me a while to listen'to sane new song or recitation"

400 Athletes on Mark for Butler U. Relays Glenn Cunningham to Feature Program Against Ray Sears in Invitational Mile Run; Many Marks May Fall. Four hundred strong, an athletic troups representing thirty-five colleges and universities today tuned up for participation in the second annual Butler Indoor Relays in the big fieldhouse at Fairview. With Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette’s Negro speedster detoured from competition for some time with a tendon injury, the hopes of those who wished to se the relays’ fame spread internationally with anew world’s record rested on Glenn Cunningham, the Kansas cyclone, who will compete in the invitational mile run. The spotlight of expectancy would dwell equally on Ray Sears, Butler’s great two-miler, if there were a two-mile event on the relay’s card.

As the program stands Sears will compete in the mile trot against Cunningham, who last Saturday night in the Knights of Columbus games in New York tacked up an indoor mile record of 4:08.4 for the swift of foot and long of wind to shoot at. Albeit the race is nt strictly his favorite event, Sears is expected to give the Kansas flyer a brilliant race. The mile run probably will be the outstanding feature of the carnival. Butler Stages Parade Metcalf's inability to compete in the 60-yard dash throws the outcome of that event into a debate between Willis Ward, Michigan’s Negro "one-man track team,” Ivan Fuqua, Indiana’s sprint act, and Hermon of Hillsdale. No little fanfare will accompany the relays presentation. The Butler university band and Janet Jerman, Relays Queen, with her court, led a parade through the downtown district yesterday heralding the event. Queen Janet likewise w r ill lead the grand parade of athletes into the fieldhouse at 8 tonight, and throughout the contests will occupy a throne constructed for her at one end of the big arena. As each event Is concluded a trumpet chorus will summon the victors to the foot of the throne, where Queen Janet will bestow the fruits of conquest, trophies and medals. Field events will begin with the pole vault at 7 tonight, continued with the high jumps at 7:30, end with the shot put at 8. Eliminations will be held at 2 this afternoon. At 8 the first relay will be run. the two-mile university race, which probably will be a battle between Indiana and Michigan. Charles Hornbostel, Hoosier half-miler is expected to give the Crimson an edge in the battle. Stars in Field Event In the sixty-yard low hurdles, next on the bill, Lambertus of Nebraska, world's record holder in the event, will be the shining light. Several schools will battle for the twomile college relay, which is followed by the sixty-yard dash. The mile run is to follow the dash, with the university medley relay next on the bill. In order then are the sixty-yard high hurdles, the four-mile university relay, the college mile relay, the college medley relay, and the university one-mile relay. The last event should be fast, with several good quartets entered. Indiana won it last year in 3:27.75. The field events will see Divich, of Indiana, who won the pole vault last year, defending his mark of 13 feet 4 inches against Lowery, of Michigan Normal, and Seely, of Illinois, together with several other prominent contestants. In the high jump, Ward of Michigan will have to withstand the best efforts of Murphy of Notre Dame and Philson of Drake. Elser of Notre Dame, Neal of Ohio State, and Kamm and Cook of Illinois are among outstanding entrants in the shot put.
