THE SUBJECT was brought up again recently by Thomas D. Taggart, well-known sportsman and president of Indiana's French Lick Springs Hotel, who declared that league ball clubs, in his opinion, would get more lasting good and far less grief with fall training

instead of spring training.

Willing to prove his point, Taggart said he would welcome several major league clubs to French Lick Springs after the close of the major league season—with no cost to the clubs. “Aside from the publicity ballvhoo attendant upon spring train-

ing, which factor cannot be denied,”

Taggart said. “the greatest value

of spring conditioning is that it offers team managers a chance to

study the possibility of rookies, .done in the fall.

Rookies at Best in the Fall

“AT THE CLOSE of the season.”

But how much better this could be

Taggart continued. “rookies are

in perfect shape. Their wind is good, their legs will stand up and

there should be no sore arms.

Batters’ eyes are attuned to all kinds

of pitching and pitchers are in top form. “Taken to a training camp, or better, a proving ground, in the

fall, these rookies would be able to would more closely approximate the

perform under conditions which rigors of a league campaign.

“Instead of nursing them along with fears of sore arms, charley horses and pulled muscles, the manager would say: ‘Okay. boys, bear

down, let me see what you can do.'” » »

THUS, according to Taggart, if

out of the ball park, he can’t blame it on an unprepared arm; if rookie Outfielder Jones hits to all fields with power and consistency, it can’t be said that the pitchers aren’t ready; and if rookie infielders Smith and Brown look bad on balls hit to their left, they can’t com-

plain they are not ready. Taggart also questioned he wisdo

m of sending bail players to the

South for training, pointing out that they expect summer weather, and failing to get it, they nevertheless exert themselves in dampness and cold, with resultant aches and pains and so-called fiu.

As Last Year

By UNITED PRESS The American Association race is just a two-day old pup, but the pup isn't the same as it was last year. The Kansas City Blues started at the top in 1940 and finished in the same position. They were at the bottom today, and Louisville, Columbus and Indianapolis were leading. Louisville edged out Kansas City, 4 to 3, yesterday. Columbus defeated St. Paul, 9 to 6, and Minneapolis beat Toledo, 5 to 3. The Colonels scored their runs in the first two innings. Bill Sayles and Al! Hodkey pitched for Louisville, allowing Kansas City eight hits. Don Hendrickson started on the mound for the Blues, and was relieved in the third by Randy Gumpert. The Colonels collected 10 hits. Max Marshall broke up the Co-lumbus-St. Paul game by smashing

Red Sox Take Three Games

The Hard Way

Reds Lose Again and Giants Roll On

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 19.— Forget the collapse of the Cincinnati Reds for the moment, overlook the stumblings of the Brooklyn Dodgers

land New York Yankees, pass

lightly over the sensational start of the New York Giants and look what the gold-plated Boston Red Sox have done. For one thing, they haven't been licked and leading the American League with three triumphs in three starts. But no team could come closer to losing three in a row and win them all in last ditch stands. {On opening day, Washington had \them beaten, 6-4, going into the ininth, The Red Sox scored three

runs and won, 7-6. The next day the Senators went into the ninth leading, 7-4, but Boston tied it with another three-run rally and went on to win in the 12th, 8-7. Yesterday the Athletics were leading, 2-0, going into the seventh and 2-1 going into the ninth, but the Red Sox triumphed, 3-2. And in Boston's gallant back-to-the-wall victories the shining figure has been Bobby Doerr, the game's greatest second baseman without a doubt since Joe Gordon moved to first base. In three games Doerr has hit four home runs, driven in nine runs and handled 16 chances without a bobble. Doerr personally won vesterday’s game with his two homers—one in the seventh with none on and another in the ninth with Manager Joe Cronin on base, Ol’ Mose Grove pitched seven innings for the Red Sox and allowed {only two hits, but one of them was la homer by Sam Chapman with a {mate on. Thus he left the game trailing, 2-0. Herb Hash pitched the last two innings and held the A's hitless.

Lyons Wins 233d

Home runs enabled the champion Tigers to score their first victory, a 4-2 win, over the Indians before 42, - 165 at Detroit. Charlie Gehringer’s homer broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth and Birdie Tebbetts’ round-tripper

Bridges allowed only six hits unti the ninth and thén had to have relief from Al Benton. In the other American League games Washington hammered out {17 hits and beat the Yankees, 7-4,

Dirt Trackmen Start Races

Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind, April 19,— Drivers from five tates in the Middle West will compete here tomorrow afternoon in the opening of the 1941 dirt track auto racing season in Indiana. A fast field of cars, with at least 20 starters, will try for honors in five regular events and a 25-lap feature on the half-mile track at the local fairgrounds. Among those entered are Slim Rutherford, of Whiting, Ind., last season's champion of the KentuckyIndiana Racing Association; Eddie Wagner, of Aberdeen, South Dakota, a highly touted newcomer to Hoosier tracks; Harold Shaw, a top ranking driver from Indianapolis, and Charlie (Wild Man)® Ezekendy, of South Bend, who will pilot car No. 2, the “City of Roses.” An added feature will be the appearance of Tailspin Tommy Boggs, the aviator and dirt trackster from Indianapolis. Boggs, who won his flying wings at Randolph Field, recently volunteered his services to fly for the Greek air corps. Officials of the Mid West Auto Racing Association, who are in charge, say that it is almost a certainty that Bob Simpson, of Waterford, Mich., their | 1940 champion, will be here.

‘I'd Like This One’

Wade Thinks He Has the ‘One-Run’ Men

Indians Take Second Milwaukee Game, 2 to 1

Sticking to his avowed ine tention of “playing for one run,” Manager Red Killefer of the hometown Indians guided his team to a second straight victory over the Brewers yes terday, 2 to 1, and two sacri« fices figured in the scoring of

both ‘tallies. °

Killefer thinks the “old army game” is worth following right up to the hilt for his type of players, and since he guessed right twice

that style of attack in any game in which he believes the pitching has the bulge on the hitters. So, take a tip and jot it down tha$ Indianapolis probably will lead the league in sacrifice hits this season, With the new race only two days old, the Indians have four sacrifices to their credit and they missed the boat on two other attempts.

One Today, Two Tomorrow

Big doings at Perry Stadium over the week end. The Redskins were to go after their third in a row and

cleap sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers today, and tomorrow the first double-header of the season is scheduled between the Tribesters and the Kansas City Blues, the two-time champions. Today's contest was to get under way at 2:30 and starting time for the Sabbath bargain bill is set at 2:00. Pete Sivess was slated to toe the Tribe slab this afternoon, and tomorrow Pilot Killefer is expected to call upon Jake Wade, his lone southpaw, and Bill Cox. The Blues will come up from Louisville where they received rotigh treatment by the Colonels in the first two tilts there, For Milwaukee today, Brother Bill Killefer nominated Johnny Schmitz, lefthander,

Youngsters Wage Battle

dished out again by the Indians and Brewers yesterday as Glenn Fletcher and Dave Koslo, southpaw, waged a mound duel. Both youngsters had something on the ball and base hits were a scarce article. As a matter of fact, the Hoosiers didn't get one safe until the fourth. Milwaukee notched its lone mark= er in the third on Ray Hayworth's double, Fletcher's error on a throw, and Koslo's long fly, Hayworth scoring after the catch. That one run stood up for six rounds. Held to one blow in six innings, the Indians finally came to (Continued on Page 11)
