By Eddie Ash IT S ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW • • m INDIANS PACK TO LEAVE SOUTH

'■jpHE final week of spring training is at hand and some of the ball clubs have begun the trek north. Wade Killefer’s Indianapolis Indians, approaching the end of their stay in Florida, will break camp at Wauchula Monday and play their way toward the home base at Perry Stadium. Exhibitions with St. Paul in the Sunshine state today and tomorrow wiil close that end of the conditioning process and on Tuesday the Hoosicrs will perform in Macon and again in Chattanooga on Wednesday. From the Lookout city the rribesters will head direct for Indianapolis and last drills before the A. A. opening will take place next Friday and Saturday.

The powerful Kansas City club will supply the visiting attraction in tho local lid-lifter a week from tomorrow and many experts are picking the Blues to cop the flag this season. They were going at a sizzling pace in the closing weeks of the 1935 campaign. Chief Killefer believes his Indianapolis infield lineup is the best in the league, with Heath at first, Sherlock at second, Fausett at third and Bluege at short. His mound staff looks strong and the catching fair, with the burden on Johnny Riddle. He signed anew fly chaser in Paul Dunlap the other day. but that, is *thc department that is wrinkling his brow. It’s strength is undetermined. Ferd Berger, in left, and Dunlap, in right, are untried in the A. A., and Como Cotelle, in center, has yet to prove he's good enough for every day action. i

Ruth Hughes Aarons, Chicago, women’s singles champion of the world, was favored to retain her title. Miss Aarons and Anne Sigman of New York also were favored to win the doubles title. Charles Schmidt of New York the only men’s singles finalist who is not a former or present title holder, entered the final round by eliminating Bill Differ of St. Louis.

Oilers Likely to Form Bulk of Olympic Squad Kansas Giants Favored to Win Trials When De Paul and Others Bow in Eliminations. By United Pres NEW YORK. April 4.—Eight members of the McPherson (Kan.) Oilers—hailed the the world’s tallest and best basketball team—seemed certain today to take a stroll on Berlin's Olympic Court next August.

They will form the nucleus of the basketball team which will represent the United States in the Olympic games unless forecasts go awry. The Western Giants moved into the favorite’s position for the Olympic tryouts last night in Madison Square Garden, by winning from Temple U., Eastern college champions, 56 to 48.

Cooper began today's links exercises two strokes ahead of his nearest rival, and considered in the light of a deeply rain-soaked course made all the more difficulty by rising winds and frosty temperatures, the margin was a difficult one to erase. Give away a stroke to par at Augusta these days and it's many a hole before opportunity to erase the error presents itself. Cooper glued together a grand brace of 35’s, each one under par and they added up to 70, which was two strokes better than the par 72 made by A1 Espinosa, Chicago veteran. Far back in the pack, with a first-round 78 aras Gene Sarazen, defending champion. On a par with him was the man the Georgia galleries and the sports writers would like to see win, Bobby Jones. Between them and the leading Mr. Cooper were no fewer than 24 players, some of whom have real chances to take the title. Grouped at 74 were Billy Burke, former national open champ; Ted Luther and Horton Smith. Hi Picard, popular favorite, veteran Bob Cru’rkshank and Lawson Little were three of six tied at 75. Paul Runyan, consistent New Yorker and Sam Parks of Pittsburgh, national open champ, were a stroke back with 76's. Second round was set for today and third and fourth rounds for Sunday.

Trout finished out the contest and in three rounds held the Brewers helpless. The rookie hurler allowed two hits, issued one walk and struck out four. He looked the part of a leaguer. Hits were five for Indianapolis and six for the visitors. Bob Fausett, new Hoosier third sacker, collected two of the five blows, both safeties going for two bases. He also “stole” two bases. The Tribe outfield delivered only one hit, a single, by Bouza, subbing for Como Cotelle, who is ill. Berger and Dunlap were unable to find a safe spot.

Gashouse Gang Hilarious Wiseacres Behind Scenes Only Tent and Calliope Needed to Make Cards’ Camp a 3-Ring Circus, Williams Finds. *

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer BRADENTON, Fla., April 4.—Come with me back stage, in the dressing room of the St. Louis Cardinals, the celebrated Gashouse Gang of Baseball, and let us observe these interesting gentlemen at close range. Mr. Frank Frisch, the college-tutored manager of the Gashouse Boys, is sitting on a plank bench paring a bunion with a knife. You announce you have come to talk with him about his baseball team and its chances

in the approaching pennant race. “Aw, don't worry about us.” answers Mr. Frisch. “We’ll do all right.” Promptly Mr. Frisch is cut short by the drawling voice of Mr. Dizzy Dean. “Yeah, we’ll do all right if you can stand up at second base.” Mr. Frisch has been playing big league baseball since 1919, when he stepped off the campus at Fordham University, and there is something more than a mild feeling that he ought to be looking around for a successor. A large shouldered gent with a

towel wrapped around his torso appeared in the doorway. He was olaying a harmonica. It was Pepper Martin, who has been shifted from third base to the outfield. “Where’s Y oYo ?” demanded Mr. Martin. It dev e 1 oped that Yo-Yo is Mr. Martin’s wrestling

Williams

stooge. The night before Yo-Yo and Mr. Martin had appeared on a professional wrestling card at the American Legion Stadium, an a YO-YO is the town simpleton and and is Mr. Martin’s particular pet and joy. For the wrestling match Mr. Martin had Yo-Yo on a diet, the main feature of which was bread stuffed with petunias, hollyhocks and other items close to the heart of the horticulturist. Denying that he had any deep personal interest in flowers, Mr. Martin explained he fed this strange pastry to his w'restling partner for no other reason than that the gentleman seemed to like it. “People down in this part of the country are funny that way,” added Mr. Martin. “They even eat rattlesnakes.” By this time Yo-Yo himself, dressed* in of the Cardinals, appeared, and the collegetutored Mr. Frisch, who seems to have surendered entirely to the mad influence of the Gashouse Boys, asked the gentleman to put on his dancing number. “This will panic you,” assured Mr. Frisch. So, with Mr. Martin gnawing away vigorously on his harmonica, Yo-Yo, a round-faced little man with a lisp, went through the loose motions of a Harlem Strut. And while this was going on Mr. Dizzy Dean reached into Mr. Frisch's locker and helped himself to a cigaret. Mr.' Frisch eyed him coldly. “I made your wife buy you anew pair of shoes yesterday,” he said. “When you get home tonight tell her to buy you some cigarets.” a it n Addressing ail and sundry, Mr. Frisch announced that Mr. Dizzy Dean was money crazy, that he would quit baseball with a lot of dough and then get himself run over by a street car. “Haw!” hawed Mr. Dizzy Dean. “Paul hit three guys with his automobile last winter, and if he hadn’t been a policeman he’d be in jail now. Hejr, Paul come in here and show Pappy Frisch your policeman's badge.” This was the cue for the entrance of Mr. Daffy Dean, who, along with his brother, had been an energetic holdout until recently. Mr. Daffy Dean displayed his policeman’s v adge. He handled it tenderly. "Pretty, ain’t it?” he commented. It then came out that Mr. Daffy Dean's soul-consuming ambition is to be a Dallas policeman, and from ihis melancholy manner it appcMui

that he was deeply hurt because the Cardinals had compelled him to accept a boost in pay to pitch another year in the big leagues. n a a THERE was a commotion at the other end of the dressing room. Mr. Martin was standing in front of Yo-Yo, making hideous faces. “Now do it this way,” corrected Mr. Martin as he caught Yo-Yo’s chin and jammed it up until it reached his nose. “You gotta look ferocious when you wrestle,” he explained. Bud Parmelee, the big righthanded pitcher who came to the,'Cardinals in a trade with the Giants, was a silent and bewildered spectator of the mugging exercises between Mr. Martin and Yo-Yo. He hasn’t been with the Gashouse Boys long enough yet to get the true spirit. “All this club needs is a tent and a calliope,” smiled Mr. Parmelee. “It’s a circus in every other sense.” It was about time to take the field for an exhibition game. Mr. Frisch yelled for Yo-Yo. “Call the roll,” he demanded. Yo-Yo pulled a book out of his pocket. “Frisch,” he sang out. “Here,” answered Frisch. “Martin.” “Here.” And so on until, the full roster had reported “Here.” a a a I STILL had not gotten Mr. Frisch’s views on his club and on the race in general, and so I followed the men to the dugout. Mr. Dizzy Dean said he wanted to pitch a couple of innings. “You go to the outfield and run around until you drop,” ordered Mr. Frisch. “Well, just let me pitch against you in batting practice, will you, Pappy?” pleaded Mr. Dizzy Dean. “I like to hear your old bones creak.” Mr. Frisch picked up a bat and Mr. Dizzy Dean scurried for the outfield. I finally got Mr. Frisch to talk for a moment. “Well, you’ve seen the kind of club we are. We are just as liable to wind up in first place, or in Matteawan—maybe both, if we’re lucky.” In closing it is a pleasure to report the Gashouse Gang is still the Gashouse Gang, the most hilarious ball club of our time—and one of the best. TWO LOCAL FIGHTERS LOSE AMATEUR BOUTS By United Press PROVIDENCE, R. 1., April 4.

Coaches Ask Retention of Center Jump Few Changes Suggested to Rules Group Which Meets Today. By United Press NEW YORK, April 4—Coaches of American basketball teams are content with the hardwood game as it stands today. Retention of the center jump was favored by threefourths of the mentors when they met yesterday. Only minor alterations were suggested. The National Association of Basketball Coaches in yesterday's session voted. 31 to 10, to recommend to the national rules committee that the regulations governing the center jump remain unchanged. The rules committee was to meet | today to consider the following rec- ; ommendations made yesterday by j the coaches: 1. Establish a restraining circle i with an 8-foot radius at the center for the jumps, and allow players to charge into this circle only after the ball is tapped. 2. All held balls be jumped off in the new center circle or the foul circles which already exist at each end of the court. In case of doubt as to which circle is nearest, the jumpoff be staged in the center circle. 3. Removal of restriction preventing substitutes from communicating with teammates immediately on entering game. 4. Each team be allowed four timeouts instead of three. 5. Abolish the 3-second clause for an offensive player, without the ball in that portion of' the freethrow area between the free-throw line and the area's oyter circle. The coaches rejected a motion to eliminate the center jump after field goals are scored.
