Very Confusing

With the Yankees complaining about hitting and the Giants wailing about pitching it begins to look as if somebody got the scripts all mized up.

JNDIANAPOLIS fans are beginning to beat the drum for the Indians, Ray Schalk model. . . . Instead of trying to outwit old age, the Cracker has introduced a lot. of young blood into the Tribe picture and ‘maybe after all _ he has the right idea. . . . Anyway, the new manager is entitled to rousing acclaim for keeping the boys on their ~ toes during spring training. No other American Association team has turned in . a better exhibition record, which is something, and there's always a chance that .confidence built up in the tuneup games will carry over and inspire the pastimers to maintain winning form when the chips are down in the cham-

pionship race. The Redskins will pull in from the South tomorrow

morning and Ownie Bush’s: Minneapolis Millers are due tomorrow night. . . . The Claypool Hotel will be Minneapolis “headquarters. . . . Both teams plan final workouts at Perry Stadium Friday, at different hours, of course, and on Saturday afternoon at 2: 30 o'clock the 154-game race will

get under way. All games during the Tribe's first home stand will start at 2:30, according to Leo T. Miller, general manager,

who arrived from the South last night. ® 8 =» : 2 x =

FRED HANEY’S appetite isn’t any too sharp this spring. . . « When the Mud Hens are winning, Pilot Fred is given to buffoonery and thick steaks, but when the Mud Hens are losing, nervous indigestion attacks him and insomnia, too. . .. So it’s been a tough spring for Haney. . «. The Hens are winding up their most disastrous spring campaign in years and the experts are at a loss to explain the situation. Toledo finished second in the pennant chase last year and stayed on Columbus’ heels until the last day. ... The Hens went to camp this spring heralded as sure-fire flag ~ contenders, and perhaps they will be—later. . . . But Boss - Haney fears overconfidence has damaged the jeam’s chances and points to the record. . . . The Hens have lost 15 out of 19 games, and in a double-header at Beaumont last Sunday the team got only one run and eight hits all

afternoon. . . . The Haneyites have lost 12 in a row. > » KE #” ” o ”

OMMY IRWIN, Milwaukee’s new shortstop, has been named the - team’s lead-off man this season. . . . The No. 1 position in the batting order is a familiar spot to Tommy. . . . With the New Orleans Pelicans last year he led off and batted .325. . . . And worked the pitchers for a lot of walks. The Brewers obtained Irwin from Cleveland on option and he rounds out the infield, with Mickey Heath on first, Lin Storti on second and Ossie Grimes on third. . . . Eddie Hope is utility. . .~. Irwin collected 205 hits in 1937 and only two other players in the Southern Association topped that mark. Manager Al Sothoron of the Brewers is impressed by, the aggressive performances of Tommy, both afield and at the plate.

N Saturday, April 23, Indiana University will be host ‘to Michigan, Ohio State and Notre Dame for a quadrangular relay track meet. . . . Each of these four schools has in the past participated in the Kansas Relays on this date, but the four coaches got together and decided to have a quadrangular meet at Bloomington instead. The program will include relays for all distances, from the 440-yard relay through the four-mile relay. . . . Individual events will be all ‘the field events, the high hurdles, and perhaps a special 100-yard dash. The meet promises to be one of the best held in the Midwest this season, since Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Indiana are. fixed to supply topnotch competition in every relay. . . . The Wolverines, Bucks and Hoosiers are to compete in the Penn Relays on April 30, while the Irish will be at Drake. » » ” ” ” 2

IX-MAN football, the abbreviated version of the gridiron sport, which appeals to small high schools without resources for the 11man game and larger high schools seeking a fall sport for lighter boys, will make its southern Indiana bow this Friday when the Wabash Valley Athletic Association holds a clinic for coaches at Indiana State Teachers College, Terre Haute. Members of the Indiana State coaching staff will conduct classes in the new sport Friday afternoon. . . . Franklin M. Reck, a member of the newly formed national rules committee, and Leland MeCandless, national organizer for the sport, will assist. . . . Commissioner A. L. Trester of the I. H. S. A. A. will speak, and is expected to make a plea for uniform rules in six-man loops throughout the state.

” " » : ” #" »n

HE Wabash Valley Association will award its first championship in six-man football next fall, and it is.probable that scholastic coaches meeting in Terre Haute Friday will be busy drafting schedules. . . . Most of the cards will contain five games, and two leagues may be formed, according to indications. Six-man football uses a center, two ends and three backs en each team, and places a premium on speed and a wide open style of play. . . . A demonstration game between picked squads of Indiana State players will be staged at the Terre Haute City Athletic Field Friday night. \
