By Eddie Ash Les Munns Pleases Brooklyn Manager mom Mountain Dean’s Hobby Is Poultry
J ESLIE MUNNS, whom all Indianapolis fans know on account of his brilliant pitching for St. Paul, apparently has landed a regular job with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He is one of the most promising of the 1934 big league rookies and Manager Casey Stengel is banking on the former Apostle to make good his first season in the majors. Munns won nineteen games for St. Paul last year and he was a star the previous season. Les was developed by the Saints and careful coaching brought him out. Munns was more or less of an infant on the Apostle staff fQr a couple of years, but Prexy Bob Connery tagged him as a comer from the outset and predicted he would bring a big price in time. Bob was correct in his forecast and estimate. The new Dodger hurler is 24 years old, stands 6 feet 4 inches and is a 200-pounder. He is built for endurance and is a smooth-working righthander. The big fellow was clear profit for the Saints, costing nothing. Bob Connery has a flair for picking ’em green and polishing them up. A season seldom goes by that he does not sell one or more players to the majors. a a a a a a BORN at the foot of Stone Mountain, in Georgia, Man Mountain Dean, the wrestler, weight 305 pounds on the hoof, said he weighed 16 Vt pounds at birth and when his dad looked at the scales he also looked up at Stone Mountain and marked in the family bible, “Frank Stone Mountain Dean.” The elephant from Georgia worked hard in his youth, on the farm and in a stone quarry. His family finally moved to Norcross, Ga., and one day the big Dean boy wandered out to a carnival. The barkers were shouting to the yokels: “Twenty-five dollars to anybody who will stay five minutes with Bull Martin, world’s famous rassler.” Some Georgia Crackers pushed Dean up to the stage and into the ring. He tangled up with Bull Martin and fell on the “world's famous rassler," and Martin didn't get up. The Bull was crushed. But the carnival slickers declined to pay Dean the $25. Figuring him a rube, they said: "Oh, no, friend. We said $25 if you stayed with him five minutes. It ended less than two minutes. On your way, big boy!” It was a lesson to Man Mountain and he hitch-hiked all over Georgia and flattened every carnival rassler he could find, making sure each time that the terms were not like a rubber check. The Man Mountain will make hfs Indianapolis debut tomorrow night in one of the bouts at the Armory, meeting Charlie Strack, experienced heavyweight of Boston who weighs 235 pounds. Dean makes the scales groan at 305. He wears a 7% hat. a 9'z shoe, a 20'> collar and has a 21 ]/ 2 inch bicep. He owns a farm in Georgia and his hobby is poultry raising. One whole chicken is just an appetizer for Dean. a a a ana EQUIPOISE, holder of the world’s mile record of 1:34 2-5, will return to the wars at Havre de Grace next month and strive to begin another money-winning campaign. The horse is owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, and has a splendid chance to surpass Sun Beau as the world's leading money maker. Thomas J. Healey, >head trainer for Mr. Whitney, has announced definitely that Equipoise will run at the Maryland meeting that opens April 12. He said: “The Havre de Grace track is one of Equipoise’s favorite courses. Last year, in winning the Philadelphia Handicap, he showed marvelous speed carrying 123 pounds. It will be that race Equipoise will be pointed for this spring. His time in it last year was 1:44 3-5 for the mile and one-sixteenth. The Handicap will be run on April 21 this year. However, I hope to run him in a sprint before the Philadelphia feature. Equipoise wintered well and has taken to training kindly.” tt tt tt tt tt M Herman Layne, left fielder with the Indians last year, has been appointed manager of the Charleston club of the Mid-Atlantic League. Columbus is pulling wires trying to obtain Tom Angley from Rochester. The former Indianapolis backstop used to hit well against the Red Birds. a a a a a a ROGERS HORNSBY, manager of the St. Louis Browns, is working like a rookie in his Florida camp. And he’s down where the heat is sizzling, West Palm Beach. Rogers expects to play more than half of the 154 games this year. He will try it on the infield again and also act as pinch hitter. Hornsby is ambitious to reach the 3,000 hit class. He has banged out 2.898 blows during his major career of nineteen years. The highest batting average in big league history was posted by the Rajah, .424 in 1924. Ty Cobb blasted 4,191 hits during a stretch of twenty-four years. Tris Speaker collected 3,515, Hans Wagner, 3,430 and Nap Lajoie, 3.240. Babe Ruth has collected 2,755, but has been walked intentionally countless times.

Jones to Test ' New Golf Ball By United Press PINEHURST, N. C., March 26.—A new golf ball, given a “shot in the arm” with a hypodermic needle to lengthen its flight, will be given its first greens test here today by Bobby Jones, who arrives from Augusta, Ga., for an exhibition match with Horton Smith and Tommy Armour. The new ball, approved by the U. S. G. A., hitherto has had only laboratory tests. The “hypodermic” of 1-600 of an ounce of fluid restores internal pressure originally destroyed by the vulcanizing process on hard-covered balls. When thp fluid is injected, the center expands, restoring pressure to the 1.500 pounds required to get the maximum distance. The new ball, size and weight of which remains the same, is estimated to add seven to twelve yards to the drive of the average player. Formerly maximum distance was obtained only with soft-covered balls.
Crowd Pleasers in Each of Three Mat Bouts Tomorrow
The three bouts scheduled on the all-heavyweight wrestling card at the Armory tomorrow night have the fans guessing to pick out the outstanding feature. There is plenty of talent on the program and Matchmaker Lloyd Carter believes the action in each will keep the customers on edge. In th a opening match Tom (Bad Wolf) Marvin of Oklahoma City
will oppose Frank Speer of Atlanta, and each grappler is of the type that seldom gives ground. ‘They are the rough and ready boys of the mat. In the semiwindup, Man Mountain Dean will make his first Indianapolis appearance and he will oppose Charlie Strack of Bos-

ton." former Olympic Games star. Dean hails from the Georgia hills and most of his power consists of beef. He weighs 305 pounds and possesses no favorite hold, depending on his size to crush opponents. George Zaharias and Karl (Doc) Sarpolis, both top flight heavyweights, will collide in the main go and the action here is expected to be fast and furious from the outset. Zaharias is known as a “cry baby," but at the same time he is one of the best gyapplers in the game and Sarpolis is not far short of him on rating. Sarpolis of Chicago has made a practice pf upsetting the big fellows

Mile Run Slow Four thousand fans saw Heye Lambertus of Nebraska break his own world’s record in the 60-yard low hurdles. The searlet-shirted timber-topped skipped the distance in perfect form in :06.7, finishing a scant yard ahead of Kenneth Sandbach of Purdue. Lambertus’ previous record was :06.8. Cunningham’s performance in the mile run was not the breath-taking event that most of the spectators hoped for. The lanky Kansan trailed Ray Sears of Butler for five laps and then stepped out to finish an easy winner in 4:17.9. Sears made a desperate bid in the last lap sprint, but Cunningham turned on the reserve power and pulled away from the Bulldog ace without difficulty. Ward was responsible for thirteen of Michigan’s points. He won the high jump, leaping 6 feet sis inches to set anew relays record, copped the sixty-yard dash in :06.2, and placed second to Sandbach in a close finish in the sixty-yard high hurdles. I. U.

Rain Holds Up Indians
Downpour Hits Evansville Camp: Washington Puts Three Over Fence. By T mes Special EVANSVILLE. Ind., March 26. Everything was lovely in the spring training camp of the Indianapolis ball club here yesterday, but today was a different story. It was pouring rain this morning and Manager Red Killefer expressed the opinion that there would be little work for his athletes. The Tribe chief was ready to put the boys through some son of paces if the rain stopped by noon, but ‘there was no chance to get on Bosse field. It was drenched and will take some time to dry out. Three Over Fence Vernon (George) Washington, the stalwart outfielder from the Texas League, sent three drives soaring over the fence yesterday and the balls were well hit. Few drives went over the spots he picked during the many years the Three-I League teams performed in Evansville. Washington said it was the first time he had batted since last September and he was highly pleased with his eye and swing. Vernon's blows averaged from 360 to 380 feet. It was his first day in camp. Fred Bedore. regular thirdsacker last year, reached camp yesterday and four more rookies arrived from Indianapolis. They are Joe Dugan and Gene Loepper, infielders, and Ben Lady and George Quackenbush, outfielders. The Sunday drill lasted about three hours. / Practice Games Billed Weather permitting, daily practice games will start on Wednesday and the training pace will be increased. A few of the regulars still are absent, including Johnny Cooney, outfielder; Dudley Lee. shortstop; Ernie Wingard, first base, and Jim Turner, pitcher. Lee is en route from California and Turner is working out in the southland. It is said Manager Killefer plans to start Vincent Sherlock at second base and try out Frank Sigafoos at third. If this doesn’t work. Sigafoos probably will be tried in the outfield. Killefer thinks all players will be on hand by the middle of the week. He has a hunch that the few unsigned members are staying away until better weather arrives in Evansville. The athletes who wintered in the warm south hesitate about coming north until the cold and rainy weather passes away. EXPORTERS BLANKED BEAUMONT, Tex., March 26. The Beaumont Exporters, of the Texas League, failed to solve the mysteries of the Toledo Mudhens’ pitching yesterday, and were blanked in an exhibition game, 2 to 0.
