Indians Brave Cold and Bag 22 Hits Against Semipro Nine.
Times Special BOWLING GREEN, Ky. March 29 — With only about 300 intrepid fans braving the cold winds to see the affair. the Indianapolis Indians defeated the Bowling Green Barons here vesterday, 19 to 4, in the first of the training season's exhibition contests. The Tribe showed the effects of its two weeks in camp by slamming the offerings of two Baron hurlers to all corners of the lot for a total of 22 base hits. Leading the hit parade were Oscar Eckhardt, right
| fielder: Vince Sherlock, second base-
man: Bob Kahle, third baseman; Charies Parker, also a second sacker, and Buddy Lewis, catcher. Eckhardt hit a single, double and triple before retiring after three appearances at the plate, Sherlock got two doubles in four trips, Kahle three singles in six swings, Lewis a single and double in three efforts and Parker two singles in three trips. Sherlock Starts Tt
Bowling Green errors alse helped the Tribe cause, contributing to the fact that in only one inning were the Hoosiers shut out. The guns started booming in the first inning when Sherlock led off with a double, was advanced to second as Garrison muffed Lawrie's grounder | and scored when Eckhardt singled. | Wheeler's single and an infield out plated Lawrie with the second and final run of the inning. The next two inning each produced three hits, good for two runs in the second and three in the third, while the fourth proved the bonanza session of the game with SiX runs being shoved across the plate on errors and two hits, a triple by Eckhardt and a double by Berger. The fifth and sixth produced one run each, the seventh three and the eighth a single tally, Seeming to tire of the exercise, the Indians suffered themselves to be erased without a run in the ninth when a double play killed off Lawrie and Parker Bowling Green garnered nine safeties off the deliveries of Elmer Riddle, Jim Sharp and Tom Gallivan. Riddle gave up all the runs in the three innings he worked.
Sharp Fans Six
Of the three Tribe hurlers. Sharp appeared to take his assienment most seriousiv., He bore down with every pitch and fanned six batters during his three-inning workout. The only extra base blow ecarnered by Bowling Green was off his delivery, however, Pitcher Stanley Cannon getting a tripie over the head of voung Pete Ray, who relieved Berger in the center garden riddle fanned five Barons and Gallivan retired one via the strike-out route, Among the half-frozen fans was Governor M.
