By Eddie Ash MILLERS RATE THE A. A. CHOICE m • m SOME DOCBT ABOUT RED BIRDS

PICKING Columbus to win the pennant in the American Association has become a habit with baseball experts around the circuit owinjr to the Red Birds’ connection with the St. Louis Cardinal chain. And the boys are doing the same thing this spring. Now let’s take a look at the record of 1931. In the straightaway eight-club race Ownie Bush’s Minneapolis Millers finished first. Then the east-west playoff series was staged and Columbus copped. Well, there won’t be an east-west playoff series this year and the pennant will be decided in the old-fashioned way with the championship going to the team that is out in front when the regular schedule ends. B'Th Millers and Columbus Red Birds are training in Florida, far removed from rain and wet grounds. The Bushmen are at Deland and the Bird ar* a' Avon Park. Thev are Betting plenty of exercise in the hot sunshine and regular game action against big league clubs and class AA league opponents. jn • at pre '\nt the M ’lers look the part of front runners and in the event the St Louis Cardinals are unable to supply Columbus with proper talent, it's almost a dead cinch that Minneapolis will go to the post as the flag choice. , _ The Millers, under Bush, finished first in 1932, second under Dave Banrroft in 1933. and first in the straightaway and second in the playoff in 1934 This year Is the first for the Minneapolis pastimers in Florida. Indianapolis is training in Kentucky. Louisville In Tennessee. Toledo in Mississippi, Kansas City in Alabama and St. Paul and Milwaukee in Arkan >3.3.

Seven no-hit games were recorded in 1008 That was a pennant year for Indianapolis. Four no-hit tilts were chalked up in 1913. Dan Tipple of Indianapolis, who wa* credited with a no-hit game in 1913. was sold to the New \ork Yankees for a fancy price and the Yankees have been down on the Hoosiers since. He was a complete flop as a big leaguer and was another flop when he returned to the A. A. as a member of the Minneapolis club. Jimmy McGill was president ot the Indians at the time Tipple was ‘ built up” for a big league killing and the Yankees fell hard for the bait. Later, in the McGill regime, the Indianapolis club recommended another player to the Yankees and the answer received from Jake Ruppert. Now York owner, was to the point. It read: “A burnt child dreads the fire.”

City Pins Take Lacing as Bowling Aces Resume Action; Carmin and Pritchett Slap Out High 700s

BY BERNARD HARMON With their A. B. C. worries a thing of the past, local keglers last night opened up in one of the best individual scoring sessions of the present season. A pair of 700 totals topped off a flock of 600 counts, as all Monday leagues went through their weekly paces. Lee Car min stole the show on a 754 total when he dove-tailed games of 258. 218 and 278 in the matinee session of the Indianapolis Star League at the Pritchett Alleys Jess Pritchett, who lists more 600 totals than any other bowler in Indianapolis during the present reason, finally knitted a trio of double cengames to reach his initial 700 count, a 714. Carmtn's huge count, his best of the present campaign, gave the Mailers No. 1 a clean sweep victory over their opponents, the Wheels. Mailers No. 10. spurred on by Charlie Bloom's 581. mastered the Wrong Fonts in a pair of their three eames. as the Pressmen, featuring Walt Heckman's 574. scored a twotime win over the Mosers. Pritchett chose the Optimists League in which to make his seasons debut as a 700 shooter, flanking a 212 middle game with a 255 opener and a 247 fadeout. He was the only individual of this circuit, bowling on the Pritchett Alleys, to pass 600 during last night's pastiming, and his sizzling series netted the No. 1 team the only triple victory of the session, the three-time victims being the No. 2's. Other series found the No. 6 and 4 teams winning a pair each over the s's and 3 s. Don Johnson, who was the Prima Donna of city bowlers in their sojourn to Syracuse, where he led all local individual scoring, combined games of 246. 226 and 214 to top the scoring in the Court House League with a 686 series. Dan Abbott took runner-up honors of the loop's sesr sion at the Delaware, when he reached 649 in his trio of games. Treasurers. Union Titles and Clerks battered out triple wins over the Treasurers. Assessors and Prosecutors. as the Surveyors scored a 2-to-l win over the Lawyers. Eight pastimers of the South Side Business Men's League at the Fountain Square Alleys swept more than 600 pins from the alleys during their weekly session at the Fountain Square Alleys last night. Half of these individuals sank more than 650 maples during their three games. Bob Wuensch leading the parade on a 673. Paul Stemm reached 655 Phil Bisesi, closing with a 266 toUtd

In succeeding years he became known as the sport's roughest performer. Some of the outrages he engineered against opponents became classic tales of the ring. Despite this malignant showmanship, he was known to associates as a kind and true friend. His barroom tactics were a veneer to his real character. * Kilonis leaves the ring financially secure.

The Indians of Red Killefer are sure they will be fortified at first base this year. Mickey Heath will hold down the initial sack and if he goes as well for Indianapolis as he did for the Columbus champions everything will be lovely. He helped the Birds capture the American Association pennant in 1933 and '34 and his aim now is to help knock off his old mates. Mickey was disappointed when Columbus traded him to the Indians, but he has let bygones be bygones and has promised to give the Hoosiers the best he has in the way of baseball prowess. Heath joined the Indians at the Mayfield (Ky.) spring training camp the other day. He is an artist around first base. His batting average last year was only .280 but he batted in 101 runs. He* swings lefthanded and throws the same. The fact that Mickey is a southpaw will speed up the infield and make for more double plays. Mickey hit 29 homers in 1934. Chief Killefer is going to bear down on the infielders and endeavor to make infield practice before game time a real show in itself. Vincent Sherlock has had one year of American Association ball and doubtless will show a lot of improvement this season. He was afflicted last year with a habit of “blowing” the easy ones with a double play in sight. Otto Bluege, the former St. Paul shortstop, is a master in the field and will be able to play deeper than the veteran Dudley Lee, whom he replaces. Lee's legs failed him and he covered very little territory. Fred Bedore and Babe Lawrie wall share third baseband both possess strong arms. All of which means that the Indians of 1935 look good to come up with a sizzling inner works and plenty of two-ply killings.

Both practice sessions were cut short by rain. Chief Killefer took his Tribesmen out to the park about 10 a. m., but an hour later the rain started pouring down in torrents and the boys were soaked as they : hurried back to the gym. A short while later the sun began to shine and by 2 p. m. Killefer was j “rarin’ to go” again. But again Old I Sol was playing tricks, and 45 minl utes after the players arrived at the 1 park they were caught in one of the J hardest rainfalls seen here in years, i The downpour almost “washed away the field,” and was accompanied by heavy wind and hail. “Just give me some good pitching and my team will go places in the American Association this season,” Killefer stated as he looked over the array of regulars that will make up his infield and outfield for the 1935 season.

In one of the double windup tussles, Paul Harper, 220, hopes to square matters with Billy Edwards, 215, the “chiropractic” matman from Dallas, Tex. Harper, a former all-round athlete from Southern Methodist University, was “manhandled” by Edwards three weeks ago. Paul sought a return bout and believes he can reverse the verdict this time. Sol Slagel, 255. the “Kansas Giant” who has upset a number of title contenders, will pit his power against Jim McMillen, 225, Chicago, in the other feature.
