By Eddie Ash Bats .370, but Is Passed Up by Scouts tt tt m Where to Play Sigafoos Is Tribe Problem

RED KILLEFER, manager of the Indianapolis ball club in spring training at Evansville, is confronted by several problems, chief of which is to find a position for his top slugger and the leading hitter of the American Association, Frank Sigafoos. Vincent Sherlock, obtained from the Pacific Coast League, appears destined to displace Sigafoos at second base on account of reported superiority on double plays. Killefer hopes Siggie will make an effort to make good at third base or in the outfield, but when a ball player bats .370 in one position he hesitates to be moved out of it. F rank has served at third in a few games since he came to the Indians, but it was apparent he did not care for the hot corner, or the “new angles” there on batted balls confused him. It is believed that Killefer thinks Sigafoos’ opportunity to gain a return trip to the majors rests in his ability to turn outfielder and make the grade as a fly chaser. Frank attracted nation-wide attention last year by his consistent slugging, hitting over the .400 mark for a long stretch, but major scouts were disinclined to bid for him. They were wary of double play shortcomings and weakness to his right. ana nan HARRY lIARTZ, automobile racing king in 1926 and since 1930 backer of nationally prominent drivers on the championship circuit, is laying every possible plan to defeat the jinx that has pursued his racing team in the last two years. His first move is to sign Jean Marcenac, famous French engineer and one of the best racing mechanics. Jean designed the car which Billy Arnold drove to victory at Indianapolis iff 1930 and headed the crew of experts who paved the way tpr Fred Frame s Indianapolis win of 1932. Marcenacs application for registration has been received and approved in Washington by the contest board of the American Automobile Association, national governing body of auto racing. What Hartz plans for 1934 he will not reveal at this early date, other than to speak of a • comeback'’ which he hopes will place his racing team on the pinnacle which made it the envy of the racing world in 1930. nan n n n FROM the one-time duty of automobile mechanics who were required to hang from the left side of a racer while it rounded a curve to keep it from tipping over, has come to the present-day passenger automo lie the secret of perfect balance. As speeds increased and the job of keeping the car on an even keel became too difficult for the mechanics, engineers paid more attention to balance, to the extent that a racing automobile now may round a speedway curve at better than 100 miles an hour without fear of overturning. From this achievement of race car balance the passenger car has reaped the benefit, so much so that the 1934 motorist may drive his automobile around curves at fair speed without fear of turning over. By developing safety at high speeds, racing engineers have paved the way for an enormous increase in safety at normal speeds ior the passenger automobile. nan a an CARL HUBBELL'S screw ball at three speeds is his own invention. The famous pitcher of the champion New York Giants who throws the puzzler that “drops” to the catcher, explains it in this way: “I Picked it up by myself while I was pitching for the Oklahoma City club. I had decided that I did not have enough speed or a sufficiently baffling curve ball to make the grade as a major leaguer and realized that I would have to develop some other delivery to realize my ambition. So I experimented and quite by accident happened on the screw ball. Some pitchers have used that specialty as a change-of-pace ba}l, but I believe that I am the first pitcher to throw that ball at three different speeds Twice I went to the Detroit Tigers for a trial, and twice I was warned not to use the scievv ball as it would hurt my arm. Ty Cobb told me that, and so did George Moriarty. It gave me some satisfaction to show Moriarty, who umpired in the world series last October, that he was wrong. I pitch the screw ball with no great effort and never have had a real sore arm. Tliat series against the Senators gave me my big thrill. I got quite a kick out of pitching that no-hit, no-run game against the Pirates in 1929. But beating the Senators for the 1933 world championship was the big thrill. My big moment came in the eleventh inning of the fourth game. ou remember —when the Senators had the bases loaded with one out and Manager Cronin sent Cliff Bolton in as a pinch hitter. You recollect what happened. Bolton drove that screw ball into a double play in the crisis of the series." *a a a KELSE MCLURE, Indianapolis fistic manager, writes from Dallas, Tex telling of the accomplishments of Paul Lee and Henry Hook, Hoosier boxers. Lee won over Kid Williams in ten rounds on March 29 and Hook took down the nod over Mike Martinez in ten rounds on tie same date Williams is Texas featherweight champ, but the match with Lee was a nontitle affair. Kelse said Paul put the Kid down three times. The Hoosier knuckle dusters are in popular demand, McClure added. „ „ „ nan tt st tt WELKER COCHRAN, former balkline billiard champ, took a leaf out of the-wrestlers’ code book during a match in the world’s title tmirnev at Chicaeo vesterday. Welker lost his temper when he missed h°s lie after a run of 156 points and brandished his cue. Referee Charles Peterson was the victim. He was jabbed in the eye. Peterson is known as the world’s champion trick shot billiard artist, but he forgot to due that one. „ „ „ nan tt tt tt A ball player well known in Indianapolis sat next to Mae West at a movie show in Los Angeles the other night and went hitless four games.

Henry Oana, Big Hawaiian, Almost Missed Baseball Career

BY CHARLES E. PARKER (Batting tor Joe Wililams) 0| RLANDO. Fla., April 3.—Until I dropped in on the Phillies, at Winter Haven. I had assumed there could be but one unvarying, inevitable, and I might say unhappy, climax should an octopus ever start necking me. This assumption was based on my recollection of natural history teachings. augmented in recent years by screen expositions of the playful habits of the breed. Os course, modesty and my abiding distaste for necking would cause me to keep as far distant from these affectionate sea creatures as my unique version of the Australian crawl would permit. If caught unawares, however, the only course I believed open was to yield blushingly to its embrace and prepare to say: “How's tricks?” to St. Peter. But Hemy- Oana tells me different. ‘ * You know Henry—or do you?

THEY started calling him Prince Oana when he first came from his native Hawaii to join the San Francisco team of the Coast League The publicity man of that club thought it an excellent idea to bring royalty into the national pastime and tricked up a genealogy that traced his ancestry to a former chief of the islands. But Henry denies the genealogy and the title. In fact, ever since it was first published Henry has been trying to square himself at home and having a heck of a job doing it. They know their princes in Hawaii, and they opined that Henry had sponsored tne fake yarn. Asa matter of fact, there was no reason to spring the prince fiction. Henry’, without a title, is a very’ interesting sports figure.

The scene of Max Baer’s somewhat reluctant training for a heavyweight title bout with Primo Carnera shifted today to the Fair Oaks ranch in the sunny Sacramento valley. The Baer entourage suddenly deserted the original headquarters at snow-rimmed Bake Tahoe because Maxie complained of the cold there. Lake Tahoe is about six thousand feet above sea level. The stay here is considered only a stop-over. Another shift is considered, either to a southern California ocean resort or to an eastern camp. Should the latter course be followed, Baer would make frequent exhibition appearances in the mid-west.

May Try the Outfield

WHEN that marvelous slugging mark of .370 posted by Frank Sigafoos failed to get a rise out of the big league scouts last year, it was attributed to fielding flaws around second base—lack of finesse in starting or completing double plays and shortcomings on coming up fast enough with balls driven to his right. In addition to leading the American Association in hitting percentage, Sigafoos also led the league in two-base hits. Moreover, he broke the league record in consecutive game hitting by crashing the horsehide to a safe spot one or more times in thirty-nine straight contests. It is evident that if Sigafoos is going to return to the majors it won’t be as a second baseman. On this theory Frank is being tried out at third base and in the outfield at the Indian's spring training camp. The guess is that best chance to graduate hinges "on his ability to learn fly chasing. He is too valuable as a hitter to leave out of the lineup.

Mil jus and Bolen Hold ‘Yans’ to Four Blows First Practice Game at Tribe Training Camp Is Won by Regulars, 610 3: Cooney, Bedore and Sherlock Lead Hitting; Several Rookies Shine. By Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., April 3.—Johnny Cooney led the batting with three singles and Fred Bedore and Vincent Sherlock led the slugging, Fred with a home run and Vincent with two doubles, in the first practur. game staged by Red Killefer's Indians. The action was performed yesterday at Bosse field and it was the initial actual game workout held by the Tribesmen in their spring training camp here. Fine weather was on tap and a free gate attracted about 400 fans. Cooney. Bedore and Sherlock played with the Regulars and their nine won, 6 to 3, in a seven-inning contest. The winners obtained eleven hits to four for Bill Burwell's Yannigans. John Miljus and Stewart Bolen pitched for the Regulars and Butzberger and Baringer toiled on the rubber for the losers.

In the absence of regular first sackers. Fred Bedore held down that corner for the Regulars and Eddie Roush, the old-time big leaguer, donned a uniform and helped out the Yannigans by serving in the capacity of a first baseman. Bedore's home run was a hefty blast and soared over the left field wall in the fourth stanza, one mate was on the paths when Fred connected. Frank Sigafoos, the Tribe's regular second baseman, was stationed at third base for the Regulars. He had an idle day in the field, no chances coming his way. The .370 hitter of last year got one blow in four times up. He was used in the “cleanup” position in the batting order. Miljus Shows Form Dudley Lee led off, Cooney batted second and Vernon Washington was in the third “hole.” Sigafoos and Rosenberg were next and Sherlock followed Rosenberg, and then Bedore, Riddle and the pitchers. The four hits obtained by the defeated Yannigans were distributed among four rookies, Meyers, Rhein, Tartarian and Lawrie. John Miljus held the “Yans” to one hit in four innings. Bob Kahle, rookie from Richmond, saw action with both teams. He “subbed” at second for the Regulars after starting at shortstop for the Yannigans. Joe Lawrie, Indianapolis sandlot third baseman, batted in two runs for the losers. Rookies Do Well Outfielder Cotelle failed to get a hit, but the former Mississippi Valley leaguer impressed Manager Killefer with his fielding, throwing and speed. Other rookies who pleased Killefer by their actions were outfielder Meyers, pitcher Allen Barenger and infielder Rhein. The Tribe chief said these practice tilts between a divided squad are for the express purpose of getting a better line on the young candidates. Killefer planned the same thing today, a long practice in the morning followed by a game in the afternoon. Two pitchers will be used on each side again. The experienced Vincent Sherlock looked good at the keystone sack yesterday, and in addition to collecting two doubles, he accepted six chances. Three double plays were executed, but the strange part of this was the fact that ail twin-killings were made by the Yannigans. Box score of yesterday: REGULARS.
