The boys in the back room call Mioland an international incident because he is the closest thing the -turf can offer to parallel & RomeBerlin axis. He is the son of Mio d’Arezzo, an Italian stallion who did most of his early racing in Germany. Mio d’Arezzo was a helluva horse. He won at six furlongs and he won at a mile and a half, carrying up to 138 pounds in doing it.

In his next, the $50,000 Santa Anita Derby, he closed a dozen lengths from the half to finish a flying fourth. The next time out he won. This was in the $10,000 San Juan Capistrano Handicap, the getaway day feature at the great green California plant. In that race, Mioland defeated every top horse who had whipped him in the Santa Anita Derby. He finished the mile and a sixteenth in 1:422-5, a length and a quarter in front. The winter book parade has dated from there. Where this parade will ‘end, I frankly don't know. We do know ‘where Billionaire, Bull Lea, and Technician ended. .

Sivess Nominated
Pete Sivess, the right hander, who motored from Florida, was booked to pitch the route today if his arm held out. It was cold and windy in Montgomery, however, and Manager Wes ‘Griffin was undecided about putting too much strain on any of his sun-tanned athletes. Tribe President Leo Miller arrived by motor last night and established the Whitley Hotel as Tribe headquarters. ‘And under the same roof was the ‘Minneapolis club, who played Montgomery yesterday. After considerable handshaking all around, President Mike Kelley of the Millers and Leo Miller tried to get together on a player deal but nothing definite came out of their POWWOW. - En route to Montgomery, Miller stopped at the, St. Paul and Milwaukee training camps and found no talent available that would help his Indians.
Miller Proud of Outfit
“They want my stars and offer untried players in return. I believe we are better fixed than the three of them for the new race and I feel much better about the Indianapolis ouflook,” Miller said. The Saints, Brewers and Millers wanted to know who was going to do the pitching for the Indians and the Tribe chieftain told them that the mound department would answer that question when the chips are down. In other words, Miller evidently has something up his sleeve to spring at a later day. At least, he is well aware of the Tribe’s problem and is combing the country for talent. Manager Griffin brought the Tribesters out of Florida and said they were glad te” pull stakes in spite of the change from hot to cool weather. Anxious to Travel
“They are tired of the daily training routine, morning and afternoon, and want to get going in the North,” he said. “Watch some of the sluggers find that old eye now that we are on the last leg before heading into Indianapolis. I still believe we have one of the best batting clubs in the league.” Catcher Roy Easterwood, who was released the other day, got a break when Coach Buck Crouse of the Indians landed him a job with the semi-pro club at Muncie, Ind. Muncie is Crouse’s home town. St. Paul, the Indians’ opponent on opening day, also broke camp at Leesburg, Fla. yesterday, going to Jacksonville. The Indians and Montreal Royals were aboard the same train and the first call for dinner caused a stampede as the hungry athletes of the three clubs streaked for the diner in football fashion.
