By Eddie Ash Sprinz Is Delivering With Ical Nine mm" Anglev Tunes Out jls Mr. John Boaster

TOE SPRINZ is going about the business of catching for the Indians this spring in a fashion that may make the St. Louis Cardinal “chain store" regret the trade for Tom Angley. Numerous fans have commented at this early date that they like Joe's catching, and his batting record for the earl.’, games will show that he is right up there in the top flight. The St. Louis German apparently is determined to extend himself in an effort to convince the Cardinals of St. Louis, the Red Birds of Columbus and the Red W ings of Rochester, that he knows what it is all about back of the plate. When the Indians visited Columbus recently, the word was put out by press and radio that Tom Anglev held hate in his heart for Indianapolis and that he begged to be permitted to catch every game against the Indians. Well, the Indians started a righthander against the Birds jesteiday, and Tom swings lefthanded, and he wasn’t in there. Now he is denying to local friends that he was eager to “work all games against the Hoosiers.” Perhaps the fact that the Indians pilfered three bases on Tom last Sunday changed his mind or maybe the ballyhoo issued bv the Red Bird front office was the baloney. At any rate, the Indians are well satisfied with their catching department, Johnny Riddle, Joe Sprinz and Bill Wyss, the last named Indianapolis sandlot graduate of promise. b a a a A 33-YEAR-OLD ' rookie.” who has been trying vainly for more than A a decade to see how he looks in a big league uniform is Ed Greer, lankv hurler of the Columbus Red Birds, and a veteran of man> outstanding campaigns on the hill. He defeated the Indians yester a\ a Perrv Stadium. 8 to 3. although relieved in the ninth. . Greer is wearing his third uniform in organized baseball, although he has been in the game since 1923. Not until last year had he ever been tendered a contract by any club other than Denver. With the exception of 1924, when he was on the retired list. Greer was toiling for Western League Bears. The Cardinals purchased him at the close of 1932 and gave him a set of new togs at Houston last summer. They seemed to fit co well he was advanced to the American Association this year, and his protracted dream of hitting the big show may yet be realized. MM, MM, GREER became a character and a landmark in his long service for the Western League. Backed by any kind of a combination, he came through with a good record. He had a great year at Houston in 1933. winning twenty-two games and losing ten. fanning 137 and showing an earned run average of 2.71. Through a Houston newspaper man last summer. Greer made this simple request: “I was reared in the Masonic orphans’ home at Richmond, Va. This is my eleventh year in baseball, but never have I run across one of the many boys and girls who were kids with me in that home. Run a little piece in your paper and see if vou can t get the word to Richmond. Perhaps it will be the means of getting me in touch with some of the youngsters with whom I was reared." Greer still is awaiting for any w-ord from those old playmates. MM, BUM THE famous Sewell family of Alabama, which gave Joe, Luke and Tommy to professional baseball, has a representative in the American Association with Truett Sewell holding a membership card on the pitching staff of the Toledo Mud Hens. Truett. a protege of the Detroit Tigers, is a cousin of the other Sewell boys. Graduating from Vanderbilt in the spring of 1931, he was signed by Nashville and sent to Raleigh of the Piedmont League. There, he won seventeen games and lost six, and Detroit purchased his contract. The Tigers shipped him to Toronto in the spring of 1932. and he did well enough in the short time he was there, breaking even with a team mired in the basement. Detroit recalled Sewell in June and kept him around the main tent until late in the year, when he was allowed to finish out with Beaumont of the Texas League. Last season, young Sewell was again sent out. this time with Seattle of the Coast League, another tail-ender. His masterpiece last year was a double-header which he won from San Francisco. He allowed only six hits in the first game and one in the five-inning nightcap At Vanderbilt, Sewell was a versatile athlete, participating in baseball, football, basketball and track. He is a right-hander. B , M MM, IN looking over the mail this morning a letter turned up from Williams, Ind.. that caused this column conductor to think of sweet repose in a hammock while birds twitter and the fishes jump right in your lap ready to fry as young chickens beg to be beheaded to supply a tasty meal. Mr. P. H Romberg has extended an invitation to “go country” and let the world go by. His letter, in part, follows: “I have an ideal spot here for fishermen, a real place to fish and also a good place for a rest when it gets 90 in the shade. Thought maybe you might want to get away from the humdrum of the newspaper game in a nice secluded spot and meditate. I have a good place for meditation and it will make your mind as active as James Whitcomb Riley’s. You know we have been around a bit. but you don’t know what is in store for you here unless you come. This is one line of sports you missed out on. Eddie, so come down and sit on our liars’ bench. I have a wife who can fry chicken better than what you used to eat at Monrovia, and at serving fish, she’s an expert! And biscuits, gracious! Come on down and talk over old times with an old-timer you don’t even remember. Come and get away from some of those base hits, make an error for a few days and I will sacrifice any amount of time to show you real fishing." B B B B B B MR. ROMBERG knows what he is talking about when he speaks of Monrovia chicken dinners. And if we know anything, his Williams fishing spot is the real article for the boys who like to hook ’em and drag ’em in. Mr. Romberg’s address has been placed on file and some week when it is sizzling hot in Indianapolis he may have a sDorts editor on his door step displaying a typed menu calling for fried young poultry. fish right out of the water and biscuits direct from the oven. Cabin in the Cotton and no deadlines to meet!

The Lord Breaks Even Finnegan and Ruppenthal Go Limit in Tomlinson Hall Feature to Draw Decision.

BY CARLOS LANE Devotees of the sophictisate art of wrestling who vibrate 10 the more delicate nuances of the game, last night in Tomlinson hall had not only cream in their coffee, but the precise amount of vermouth to stir up a mat ring Martini. For ninety minutes Patrick Lansdowne Finnegan, His Lordship of Barrington. England, and professed welterweight champion of the fifth George’s kingdom, struggled with Duke Ruppenthal, of Milwaukee, whose peerage is of action rather than of name. His Lordship and the Duke distinguished their battle by its distillation into wrestling with the elimination of the dregs of clowning. Each employed every hold except the one Cleopatra had on Anthony, and broke them as easily as daddy cracks sonny's bank when the penny ante game goes haywire. Ruppenthal took the first tumble with a top body pin after he put bees In His Lordship’s bonnet with a series of head butts. He surrendered the second spill to one of His Lordship’s pet ring tricks, the Australian rope whip, followed by a body pin. Resting before their final appearance.

Zaharias Replaces Sol Slagel as Foe of Karl Sarpolis Cry-Baby Is Rematched in Armory Ring Next Tuesday Night. George <Cry Baby) Zaharias, the “Public Enemy No. 1" of the mat game insofar as Indianapolis wrestling fans are concerned, has discovered that protesting and appealing, plus a large order of tears, will get him what he wants. The rough and husky Colorado Greek was named today to clash with the popular Karl (Doc) Sarpolis, ex-University of Chicago heavyweight grappling ace, in the main go on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card Tuesday night at the Armory. Zaharias replaces Sol Slagel on the program. Slagel and Sarpolis were signed last Wednesday for next Tuesday's bout, but yesterday Zaharias tossed a bombshell of tears and accusations into the picture. He appealed to matchmaker Lloyd Carter for a return bout with Sarpolis, asserting that he was the logical one to meet Sarpolis. Zaharias and Sarpolis staged a thrilling match before 3,000 spectators at the Armory two weeks ago. Referee Heze Clark awarded the bout to Sarpolis on a foul after each husky had gained one tumble. Zaharias protested the decision, but his protest was not allowed. Carter reported today that Slagel was willing to drop out of the picture on the promise of a future bout here, while Sarpolis was more than anxious to pit his skill against his old rival. Zaharias. “He will cry a different tune next Tuesday," Sarpolis said. A majority of the fans who witnessed the Zaharias-Sarpolis thriller two weeks ago were elated over the fact that the popular Karl was given the verdict, but many of them were disappointed in not seeing the match go to a finish and a clear-cut decision. Matchmaker Carter had received numerous requests to rematch the pair. Two other matches are on the program. Dick Raines meets Dorve Reach in the semiwindup, and a prelim is to be arranged.

The Simon Pures Could Stand Some Reformation

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK. April 28.—1 t used to be a tradition —and a fine. old. musty one. sir—that most professional athletes strewed their cash in convenient gutters after having dallied fulsomely along the primrose path. Any one who has been the expressions on waiters’ faces after they had been tipped by ball players might beg off on this account, but the fact remains that sports history is crowded with Battling Sikis and Paul Berlenbachs, who were such good guys when they had It. But under the elms (my 1934 writer's license states that there are elms nowhere else except New Haven) one discovers the unique situation of profesional athletics paying the way for higher education. And that being the erudite study of Blackstone at the Yale law school.

Lon Warneke Tosses Third Straight Win Cards Get Nine Hits Off Cubs’ Hurler in All of Eleven Innings. By United Press NEW YORK, April 28.—That defeat at Chicago yesterday must have been doubly heart-breaking for Messrs. Breadon and Rickey of the St. Louis Cardinals. Breadon and Rickey once had Lon Warneke, the brilliant Cubs' pitcher, in their chain-store mesh at Laurel back in 1928. He was picked up by a Cub scout, and yesterday was on the Chicago mound during the eleven long innnings that prccided the Cubs’ 3 to 2 triumph. It was Warneke’s third straight victory, his first two performances being one-hit affairs. Yesterday he allowed nine scattered hits, while the Cubs made eleven off Tex Carleton. It gave the National League leaders their eighth victory in nine starts. The defeat permitted the idle Cincinnati to rise into a sixth-place tie with the Cards, who have won only two games in eight starts. The winning run came in the eleventh. Kiki Cuyler singled and went to second on Charlie Grimm's singled to center and Cuyler came home. Chuck Klein led the Cubs’ attack with three hits in five tries, while Buster Mills made three in four for the Cards. It was the only game played in the major league. The others were postponed because of bad weather. MAJOR LEADERS LEADING BATTERS G AB R .H Pet Travnor.

Indians to Visit Louisville After Today s Tilt; Champs Capture Delayed Opener, 8-3 Twelve Hits and Nine Walks Give Columbus Decisive Victory in Cold Weather Action; Thomas, Chamberlain and Butzberger Toil on Home Rubber. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Closing their first home stand of the season, the Indians were to battfe the Columbus Red Birds again today at Perry stadium in the wind-up of the series that was cut short one game by cold weather and rain on Thursday. The teams got together yesterday in a polar bear exhibition that lasted nearly wo hours and a half. It was a wintry afternoon and players and fans suffered alike from a whistling wind. The Birds annexed the contest, 8 to 3. collecting twelve hits and nine bases on balls to eight hits and six walks for the home pastimers. Bill Thomas was knocked off the Tribe rubber in the third and was succeeded by the rookie Hal Chamberlain, who in turn was succeeded by the rookie A1 Butzberger after Shevlin served as a pinch hitter in the seventh.

Following the conflict this alter- | noon Red Killefer will take his ' Hoosiers to Louisville for a douhleheader tomorrow and single tilts on Monday and Tuesday. Next Wednesday’s game has been advanced to supply the Derbytown fans with a bargain attraction on the Sabbath at Parkway field. The Indians will return home after the Tuesday action, rest on Wednesday and then take on St. Paul at Perry stadium. Thursday May 3. The four western clubs will be met before the Hoosiers depart on a long trip that will keep them on the road until May 29. Slip Down in Race The Indians dropped into the second division as a result of the setback yesterday and the boys are beginning to realize they will have to do some tall hustling to avoid further descent in the league standing. They were unable to score until the sixth stanza yesterday and by that time the Red Birds had the game sewed up. The big bat of Frank Sigafoos is being missed. The regular secondsacker and leading hitter of the league in 1933 was called home early in the week by the serious illness of his mother, but he notified the management yesterday that he will rejoin the club shortly. The condition of his mother has improved. In addition to having trouble with his mound staff Manager Killefer also has a right-field problem on his hands. Vernon Washington is out of action with a bad leg and Como Cotelle has found the nun field a tough assignment. Como misjudged two drives out there yesterday before he was sent to center field and Johnny Cooney switched to right. Birds Score Early The Birds broke the scoring ice in the first session with one marker and never were headed. They tallied three times in the third, chalked up another cluster of three in the fifth and a final marker in the ninth. The Indians tallied in the sixth, seventh and ninth. Ed Greer, right-hander, dazzled the Hoosiers during the first half of the battle. In the sixth Cotelle blasted a triple off the right field wall and scored on a long fly by Rosenberg. Greer grew wild in the seventh, settled down in the eighth, and when he showed signs of wildness again in the ninth he was relieved by Jiggs Cross after one run was in, two down and two runners on the paths. Terry Moore made a running catch on Wingard to end the game with the bases loaded. Rookie Fans Six Hal Chamberlain gave signs of future promise as a hurler. He issued four walks in five innings, but he also struck out six Birds and held the league champs to three hits. Thomas was solved for six blows and Butzberger three. Lee and Sprinz each got two safeties. Charlie Wilson led the Columbus attack with four -hits, including a double. Harold Anderson, Bird lead-off man, drew four consecutive walks, but was left stranded each time. Thirteen Birds and eleven Indians were left on base during the long and cold afternoon. The weather forecast was for rising temperature today and the Indians hoped to do a little uprising themselves. Catcher Joe Sprinz is leading the Indians at the plate. Figures follow': AB H. rrt.

Garden Is to Be Under Control of John S. Hammond New York Arena Changes Management From Kilpatrick. By United Press NEW YORK. April 28.—Colonel John S. Hammond, former vicepresident of Madison Square Garden, and his associates, have obtained control of the Garden corporation from Richard F. Hoyt, New York financier, and his associates, it was learned authoritatively today. It is understood that Hammond, who brought professional hockey to New York and for years headed the Rangers of the National Hockey League, will become president and active head. Changes in policy and personnel are expected. Hoyt, chairman of the Garden's board of directors, was one of the men who backed Tex Rickard in building the Garden in 1923. Since Rickard died in 1929, there has been considerable disagreement over management, particularly with reference to boxing and hockey. Hammond resigned his hockey position and vice-presidency last year, apparently, because of conflict. William F. Carey, a contracting engineer, succeeded Rickard as president. Carey resigned last year and was succeeded by Colonel John Reed Kilpatrick, former Yale football player. The change in ownership is not expected to conflict with plans already made for the world heavyweight championship bout between Primo Camera and Maxie Baer on June 14.
