BARTOW, Fla., April 4.—One week from today, the Indianapolis Indians will pull stakes and set out on a barnstorming tour that will end in Evansville, Ind., on April 15, two days before the curtain goes up on the American Association season at Perry Stadium. Meanwhile, a speed-up in spring training is in order. The Hoosiers lost a full day vesterday when what the natives call a thunder squall struck this area and drenched the ball park. In fact, it drenched the city as well and the athletes speht the day in the hotel lobby or in bed catching up on their sleep. Tt was a typical Hoosier thunderstorm and there was no chance at all the boys out in the open Pr today's scheduled game with Buffalo, the Indians were under orders to report early and get in as much batting practice as the morning hours center of interest, of course, is Chuck Aleno, the giant third baseman, and everybody in camp was anxious to see him perforin under fire this afternoon. Chuck also is anXious to get going to prove that he is no green hand at swinging a bludgeon. The big fellow is on the modest side off the ball field but is ail business when in action and is a great crowd pleaser, according to baseball observers in Birmingham where he played last season. He is built along the lines of Zeke Bonura except that his legs are better proportioned to allow more agility in his movements. He is muscular the shoulders and through the chest and doesn't hesitate to dis hot drives that escape his glove. “He'll knock down his if they skip over his glove,” says Paul the Birmingham club president. “And I'll wager Indianapolis fans will single him out as their idol before many games are played.”
