Another One For Thom
Billy Thom apparently is still the

The 179-pound wrestling teacher |
from Indiana University gave ample proof of this last night at. the Armory when he won over “Lord” Lansdowne, 178, in two falls out of three. More than 2000 saw the bout, the feature of a weekly program, Thom took the first fall in 16 minutes with an arm lock, lost the second in 27 minutes when the ,| “Lord” applied a figure four head .| scissors and took the deciding fall in 13 minutes with a reverse cradle hold. In the semiwindup Dorve ‘Roche, 221, of Decatur, Ill, was awarded the verdict over Gordon MacKenzie, 223, of Edinburg, Scotland.

ibe Tks Spring Camp Friday Noon
Indians Beat Bisons as Mack Poles Homer
By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor
BARTOW, Fla., April 10.— Bob Logan, the Indianapolis Indians’ veteran southpaw ace, who is ticketed to pitch the American Association opener against St. Paul at Perry Stadium on April 18, was slated to try the nineinning route for the first time this spring, when the Redskins took on the Montreal Royals here today. The mainstay lefthander was under orders to start and remain on the rubber as long as he felt capable of dishing ‘em out without an undue straih. Dee Moore got the call to toil on the receiving end of the Tribe battery.
Montreal, a Brooklyn affiliate under the new management of Clyde Sukeforth, edged the Redskins, 5-4, in an exhibition at Lake Wales on March 28. Tomorrow’s tilt here with the champion Kansas City Blues, will conclude the Florida end of the Indians’ exhibition program, and on Friday, at noon, the Hoosiers will | break camp, motor to Winter Haven and board a rattler for four games in Alabama, at Montgomery and Gadsden.
Mack’s Homer Does It
By defeating the Buffalo Bisons, 6-5, in Bartow yesterday, the Tribesters pulled within one victory of even break on their exhibition games. The contest was won by Jock Mack, who propelled a home run over the right field wall, leading off in the eleventh frame. Two doubles and that circuit blow made Mack the Tribes’ top hitter for the afternoon in the extrabase statistics. Johnny Hill was close up with two singles and a double. The third sacker also sacrificed once to help push a runner around in the seventh. Mack played left field in place of Allen Hunt, who was out of uniform because of an infected tooth, which he finally had extracted after his jaw kicked out on. him. Joe covered the position in expert fashion and turned in one running catch when Buffalo runners were on the way.
Hitting Picks Up
The Tribe hit total zoomed to 14 against 10 for the Bisons and Manager Griffin was in high spirits. He feels a hunch coming on that the boys are finding their batting eyes at last and was willing to overlook some mistakes in the field that forced yesteftay’s game into extra innings. Bob Latshaw was guilty of a defense blunder in the fourth inning that helped the Bisons stage a three-run rally and tie the score, and in the sixth both Ben Zentara and Nolen Richardson booted double-play balls. Pitcher Charles Bauers also helped gum up the works in the fourth by arriving late at first to take a throw. However, Bauers pitched a good brand of ball and was the first Tribe chucker to go nine innings. He allowed eight hits, issued five walks and struck out four. With better luck, the youngster would have been an easy winner over the regulation route. Tony Archinski entered the game in the 10th with the score at 3 and 5 and, became the winning hurler, Buffalo used three twirlers, [Stromme, White and Maglie. Both teams were leveling and it: ‘was a hard fought contest all the way. In the 10th Manager Steve O'Neill of the Bisons signaled for a steal of home when Zubik was on third with two out. It was frus-
West dived out in front of the plate and nailed the runner.
Score Tied 3 Times |
The game was knotted three times at 3-3, 4-4 and 5-5, before Mack belted his round-tripper in the second extra stanza. Tony Archinski shut out the Bisons in the 10th and 11th but was on the verge of losing control of the situation in both frames. The visitors had the bases loaded on a single and two walks in the 11th when the side was retired. Charlie Gehringer, Detroit's famous second sacker, who was left in Florida when the Tigers departed the state, played the keystone for Buffale for five innings and got one hit, a single. He is working out with the Bisons while catching up on training which he missed with the Tigers, when an ailing
back forced him out of regular ac-
tion. Yesterday's game closed the In-dianapolis-Buffalo series and the Bisons won two out of three,

taken the veil.
No longer does Rollie’s record of carousals, suspensions, fines, fights and black eyes give Manager Oscar Vitt daily doses of the jitters.
Hemsley in his prime has left a trail of “incidents” from Pittsburgh to Chicago, from Cincinnati to St. Louis and finally to Cleveland where he was compared to such old-time fwhooper-uppers” as Rube Wad-

when they landed in New York.
Vitt happened to run into his first-string catcher when Hemsley was “in the mood” on a Pullman The next day Rollie was on his way back to Cleveland. “That’s the last breach of training Ill stand from you, Rollie,” warned Vitt. (‘Another one like it and youre out. But if you can obey training rules all season, there will be a bonus of $5000 waiting for you.” Hemsley Collected Hemsley collected the $5000. He’s been almost a model ball player ever since. Down in fTampa, Fla., for the All-Star game, he met two friends and strolled into a bar for a drink. Hemsley looked the barkeep right in the eye and said: “Gimme a coke.” Hemsley batted .263- in 107 games for the Vittmen last season and with Frankie Pytlak a holdout, Manager Vitt is counting on him to catch even more this season. Now that he has Rollie’s confidence, Vitt treats him with more latitude than the other players. “I'll bet anybody $100 they can't get Hemsley to break training now,” says Vitt. “He's my boy.”
