final week of spring training is at hand and some of the hall 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 will close that end of the conditioning process and on Tuesday the Hoosiers will perform in Macon and again in Chattanooga on Wednesday. From the Lookout city the Tribesters 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 the 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 the 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

Cooper Shoots Sub-par Golf in Augusta Wind ‘Lighthorse Harry’ Blasts Pair of 35s to Outdistance Favorites in Masters’ Tournament. By f ih ted Press AUGUSTA. Ga.. April 4 Harry Cooper of Chicago was the man they were watching today as the all-star field started the second round of the Augusta national golf championship.

Cooper began today’s links exercises two stroke-, 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 tney added up to 70, which was two strokes better than the par 72 made by A1 Espinosa, Chicago vet>eran. Far back In the pack, with a first-round 78 was 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.

Another Leap From Campus to Fast Company

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

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. tt tt tt 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 wrestling 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,’’ acded Mr. Martin. "They even eat rattlesnakes.’’ By this time Yo-Yo himself, dressed in the uniform 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 a tt 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. Hey, Paul come in here and show Pappy Frisch your policeman's badge.” Thfc 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 badge. He handled it very 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 his melancholy manner it appeared

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. a a tt 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-Yc’s chin and jammed it up until it reached his nose. “You gotta look ferocious when you wrestle.” he explained. Bud Parmelee, the big righthand- ! ed pitcher who came to the Cardi- | nals 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 T 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.

Bush Expects Millers to Jump Off With Rush; Hargrave in Comeback

By United Press MINNEAPOLIS. April 4.—Give Manager Donie Bush two good pitchers and a hard hitting outfielder to replace Johnny Gill, now with the Chicago Cubs, and the Minneapolis Millers will be a strong contender to repeat their American Association triumph of last year. Bush is even willing to do without the pitchers if he can find a “bang-up left-handed slugging leftfielder.” He predicted that, regardless, the Millers will leave the barrier with a rush. Featuring the 1936 season of the Millers will be the attempted comeback of Pinky Hargrave, 40-year-old veteran catcher who won the most valuable player award in 1934. Last year he was out most of the time with a broken finger. Also making at attempted comeback will be “Unser Joe” Hauser, for many years the pride of the Association at bat. Blondy Ryan at Short Probably the most notable change in the Miller lineup will be &. shortstop, where Blondy Ryan, pur* chased from the New York Yankees, will provide valuable strength. Ryan’s activities in spring training indicate he may be one of the leading lights of the Association in 1936. With Hauser at first and Ryan at short, Andy Cohen and Bob Holland, holdovers from last year, will complete the infield. Holland, a made-over outfielder, will be at third and Cohen at second. Fabian Gaffke is a fixture for center field, Buzz Arlett will be in right and either Spencer Harris, who like Arlett is a vicious slugger, or Gus Koch, a newcomer from the

O’Neill Glad Dopesters Are Overlooking Tribe Chances Good This Year With Pressure on Tigers and Red Sox Instead of Cleveland Team. By United Press CLARKSDALE. Miss., April 4.—Last spring, most of the training camp dopesters picked the Cleveland Indians as the team to beat for the American League pennant. This year, all the ballyhoo is for the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox. This doesn’t make Steve O’Neill. Indian manager, mad. In fact, he's glad writers, fans and others are not making his club the subject of spring rhapsodies. But that doesn't mean he likes another team in preference to his own.

“We have as good a chance as the Tigers, Red Sox. or any other team,” O’Neill said today. Privately, O’Neill likes Cleveland very much. His only worry is catching. "If Frank PytlaK doesn’t get homesick again and leave the team, we’ll have a great chance,” he said. The midget catcher left the club in 1934 and last year he left again,

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 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 recommendations made yesterday by the coaches: 1. Establish a restraining circle 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 circle 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 play or. without tho ball in that portion of the freethrow area, between the free-throw line and the area’s outer circle. The coaches rejected a motion to eliminate the center jump after field goals are scored.

Galehouse, strong men of the 1935 hurling staff, were taken up by the Cleveland Indians. Bush as a result, will rely heaviiy on Ray Prim, purchased last year from the Philly Nationals, Belve Bean, Archie McKain, Ray Kolp and Rosy Ryan, Prim, a southpaw, will add balance to the staff if he comes through. A1 Leitz, a Florida youngster, is back to support Hargrave in the receiving department. Bob Garlack is being sought from the Cleveland Indians.

complaining of some imaginary sickness. Pytlak has guaranteed he won’t repeat this season.” Pitching and Power In catching, the Clevelanders appear to be as strong as the Tigers who have Mickey Cochrane, and Boston, which boasts Rick Farrell. The Indians appear to top the other teams in pitching and batting power. The infield is well bolstered with Biff Knickerbocker and Roy Hughes the keystone pair. Odell Hale is an improved third baseman and only at first, where Hal Trosky stiff has some rough spots, is the infield weak defensively. Outfielder-Joe Vosnik was runnerup for the league batting title last year. Earl Averill, Bruce Campbell, Trosky and Hale are all powerful hitters. O’Neill hopes that two developments will further strengthen hia club. He wants to see if Johnny Allen, obtained from the Yankees, is as good a pitcher as he was in 1932 and 1933 when he won 17 and 15 games, respectively. In 1934 he had a bad arm and last year he'won 14 and lost only six for the Yankees. Allen claimed today that he would have won more games last year if he had been used for frequently. Riaeholder Looks Good The other development is that of George Blaeholder, who seems to have regained his fast ball now that he no longer is with the tail-end Browns and Athletics. If he has the stuff that made him a star with St. Louis, especiallv when pitching against Detroit, the Indians will have one of the greatest pitching staffs the league has seen in 15 years. Mel Harder, ace of the staff, is heavier, stronger and seems to have even more speed than last year when he won 22 games. Oral Hildebrand, out with illness six weeks last year; Willis Iludlin, who won 15; Thornton Lee. a promising left-hander, Allen and Blaeholder will give Cleveland six starters. They also have Lloyd Brown, a flne relief and spot pitcher; Clint Brown and a couple of rookies. Ralph Winegarner Is a relief pitcher as well as a utility outfielder, lnflelder and pinch hitter. The team ras more potentialities than any other outfit in the league.
