IJASEBALL training camps are rumor factories of the highest order, especially hi# league camps. The latest wild yarn sent up from the South says the mighty Dizzy Doan is having trouble with his arm. The guessers always are ready to start something sensational and Dean is picked this time. They base their guess on a few exhibition games in which Dizzy was soundly thumped. However, he has been elFective at times and is not complaining. Dizzy has said, however, that he is going to take Lefty Grove’s advice and cut down on work. Dean won 30 games last year during the rpgular season and two in the world series. There is an axiom in baseball which says the plaver who pitches his arm away never gets it back. One season of overwork ruined Kig Ed \\alsh. The same was true of Grove, Dickie Kerr and others.

INCLUDED in Manager Killefer's plans this year is the aim to permit young Joe Law Tie to see more game action. The popular Indianapolis lad has had a full season of bench and reserve duty and the Tribe chieftain believes the time has come to put Joe to the big test. Lawrie's favorite spot is third base, where Fred Bedore holds forth. Fred’s strength is in his bludgeon and Joe faces the task of showing a lot of batting power if he is to share the hot corner with the veteran.

Rain poured here yesterday and there wasn’t a chance for the Indians to get out on the field. A number of infielders and outfielders reported yesterday ahd drew a blank their first day in'camp. Starting today, weather permitting, both morning and afternoon drills will be held. Very little bating practice has been held on account of w r et grounds and Chief Killefer will be compelled to ask the boys to bear down in a big w'ay. Cage Team Is Formed Indoor work yesterday consisted of two hours of different exercises. The Indians formed a basketball team and accepted the challenge of the Mayfield All-Stars for a game Thursday night, sponsored by the Mayfield Junior Chamber of Commerce. Killefer made it known that he aims to give Joe Lawrie considerable regular game action this season. The Indianapolis sandlot graduate sat on the bench most of the 1934 campaign picking up league pointers It's possible that Lawrie will share third base with the veteran Fred Bedore, although Fred is one of the leading stickers when it comes to batting in runs. Stevie and Others Arrive Vincent Sherlock, second baseman, arrived late Saturday night. Arrivals last night were Outfielders John Stoneham, Como Cotelle, Johnny Cooney, Riggs (Stevie) Stephenson and infielders Otto Bluege, Joe Laurie, Mickey Heath and Fred Bedore.

The Mayfield Country Club has invited the Indians to use its golf course, but owung to the delay in training brought about by so much rain the golfers with the Hoosier party won't have time for a lot of links play.

CT. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 25.—Some days have passed since Mr. Babe Ruth, the slambino of swat, as he should be called, folded his double chins and silently stole away to the enemy league to become part vice president, part manager and part outfielder of the Boston Braves—a concoction that should be shaken well before served, if at all. Inevitably a great deal of customer commotion and journalistic hysteria followed. Mr. Ruth had contributed nothing to medicine, science or letters, but after all, he had saved baseball, built the Yankee Stadium, broken and rebroken ail major league gate records. Therefore, by the American scale, a tremendous man had made an epochal move. There w^ere—and still are—elements about the move that left the outsiders befuddled and bewildered. Why, for instance, would the Yankees of the American League spend so much money in building up Mr. Ruth as a gigantic attraction —at one time paying him more than the country paid the President of the United States —and then hand him over to a business rival for nothing?

AND why did the seven other clubs, some of them desperately in need of a financial shot in the arm, which Mr. Ruth would surely have provided, at least temporarily, allow this greatest of all sluggers to go over to the opposition without lifting so much as a tentative restraining fingeiu conducted something more than a casual examination into the circumstances, and I find that Mr. Ruth himself is largely to; blame Had he exercised a more matured and convincing strategy he could have had the managership of one of several clubs. Either he was badlj advised, or else he played his cards with a minimum of skill. *** * “ " /''vF course there were several clubs that didnt want Mi. Ruth at ani U price. Cleveland was one.

Activities of Babe, ‘Rabbit’ to Be Limited Don’t Expect Too Much of Braves' Star Duo, Is Writer’s Tip. BY STI'ART CAMERON fnited Press Sports Editor ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.. March 25.—Until the National League pennant race has unsnarled its p arly kinks and maybe for some time after that the Boston Braves will be the most talked-of club in the circuit. Today as the clubs are settling down to the spring training camp grind the Boston club is the most uncertain quantity. On the minus side the team virtually is the same one as finished fourth in 1934. On the plus side there are two of the most interesting characters in the game today. No. 2 of this select duo is the amazing Rabbit Maranville who admits to having been born in 91. The Rabbit was out all last year because of a training camp leg fracture. H n insists he'll play this year, and whether he does or not is up to him, for Boston fandom would not tolerate Maranville on the bench if he wanted to be on second. The chances are that Maranville will coach all season and will get into a game only now and then. Sees Babe in Outfield No. 1, of course, is George Herman Ruth. There's been a lot of talk around the circuit to the effect the Babe might play first. It’s strictly hooey. He is to play the outfield, if at all. Will he play the outfield? Yes, some days. Babe Ruth hasn’t looked so well in spring practice. The writer has observed him in several training camp jousts. He appears a tired, old man. He still takes a tremendous cut at the ball. He'll get a large number of homers. But Babe of 1935 simply isn’t the man he was even three years ago. He makes a gesture toward dog-trotting to the dugout after grounding out, but it’s nothing more than that. He looks as though the gait pained him, and probably it does. The Babe, of course, will be a real attraction at home and on the road. Rookie Shows Great Promise Boston has one rookie of whom much is expected. He is Joe Coscarat, a Californian, who played with Seattle last year. He’s the most promising infield rookie the Braves have had in recent years. As the club shapes up, however, he seems due for a utility role. Whitney is down for third base. Bill Urbanski seems definite at short. Leslie Mallon will play second when Maranville isn’t there. Buck Jordan is at first. The .mtfield is set with Berger at center, Lee at left and Moore at right. Moore will step aside in deference to Ruth on gala days. Boston's pitching staff is strong and is headed by Ed Brandt, Huck Betts, Ben Cantwell and Fred Frankhouse. The oetching staff is paced by Shanty Hogan (fatter than ever) and Bill Lew'is, wiio was drafted from Rochester. Manager Bill McKechnie says he thinks the club may “climb a little."

At the 1 raining Camps

By United Tress ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 25.—Babe Ruth has a triple to his credit today as his first extra base hit for the Boston Braves, but George Selkirk, who takes the Babe's place in the New York Yankee outfield. chose the same game in which to hit his first homer. Selkirk's blow helped the Yankees in their 7-3 victory’over the Braves yesterday. The Babe might have stretched his triple the extra distance to complete the circuit, but was slowed a bit by an attack of ptomaine posioning which put him to bed Saturday. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Larry Benton's comeback attempt with the New York Giants, for whom he toiled so long, was ended today and the veteran right-hander was on his way to his Cincinnati home. He went to the mound for the Giants against the Philadelphia Athletics in the ninth innning yesterday and let a 5-2 lead slip as the Macks belted him for four runs and a 6-5 victory. Manager Bill Terry cut Benton adrift last night. The Athletics and Giants resumed their barnstorming series here today.
