SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

THE Columbus Red Birds will play 20 spring exhibition games in Florida before shoving off for Indianapolis to help the Indians lift the lid on the 1942 American As-

sociation season at Victory Field, Thursday, April 16.

New Manager Eddie Dyer will open training camp at Lake Worth on March 10 and begin the exhibition schedule on March 19

. The champion Birds will play their last tune-up game on

April 12 . ... The Indians and Birds wiil not meet in the South .. .. Skipper Dyer piloted pennant-winning Houston in the Texas League

last season.

The Indianapolis opener will be attended by several baseball

notables from the majors . .

new owners and Gabby Hartnett . . ..

. . Sort of a send-off for the Tribe's as well as a bow to Dyer,

starting his first campaign as an American Association master-mind. The Indians have an enviable record as an opening day winner and President Owen J. Bush and Vice President Frank E. McKinney are anxious to keep the string intact. The Red Birds, like the Indians, shape up all right two months ahead of the starting bell . . . . And both teams still are on the look-

out for additional talent.

The Columbus gang had it all over the 1941 Tribesters in their own park and here but this year the Birds are not likely to come up with a pair like Bert Haas and Ray Sanders. Bert and Ray took a lot of liberties with the Tribe's 1941 pitching.

Chicago Veterans’ Party Has Hoosier Touch

THERE WAS a striking Indianapolis touch to the festivities when the Oid-Timers’ Baseball Association held its annual dinner

in Chicago last night . . . .

Jack Hendricks, former Indianapolis

manager, was toastmaster and assembled around the corn beef and cabbage plates were Ray Schalk, also a former Indianapolis manager, and Gabby Hartnett, the current field pilot of the Hoosier Indians, Also Andy Lotshaw, formerly of Indianapolis, who is the Chicago

Cubs’ trainer . .

. . Mordecai (Three-Fingered) Brown was up from

his Terre Haute home to chat with the other stars of bygone big

league days.

Jasper Upsets Central Five

Jasper’s Wildcats raked Evansville Central, Hoosier basketball circuits, with a stunning 33 to 24 victory last night, and thereby gave notice that the Jasper “darkhorse” must still be reckoned with when the final judgment rolls around. For Evansville, never topped in hoop play thus far in the current campaign, the Jasper onslaught ended a l4-bame winning streak. Technically, however, Evansville has been charged with eight losses in violation of the ineligible player rule. Leading 13 to 10 at the half, Jas{per gave the Bears, noted for their third-period flashes, a taste of their own bitters. The Wildcats rolled up 14 points in the third quarter while strangling Evansville with a four-point rope. Rumbaugh, Jasper center, held Central's highscoring Ary to a four point total during the game. Evansville had just recently pulled the state champion Washington team from a no-defeat throne and had first scarred the Hammond

Golden Glovers don’t pull punches and they don’t stall to save reputations, as is the practice of some professional beak busters. All bouts are scheduled over the three-round route, two minutes to the round, to a decision of the referee and two judges. It is estimated that 25 to 30 bouts will be staged in the Field House ring tonight, maybe more, but hardly less.

Action is scheduled to get under way at 8 p. m. and the Field House box office will open at 6:30. Ticket prices are ringside reserved, $1.10; downstairs bleachers, 60 cents; balcony, 30 cents. It’s a bargain at Service men in uni-

As a matter of fact, eight clubs are represented in the Open class for the experienced punch throwers and the rivalry is at high pitch as the boys enter the tournament’s stretch run. The Novice class for beginners and the less experienced has a habit of stealing the thunder in these amateur mitt events and this year’s squad is right up to the standard of past local Golden Gloves tournaments. Interest, however, centers in the Open class, and the heavier boys will be called upon for ring duty tonight along with the lighter divisions. The program is expected to furnish keen, from the outset. No one will know the pairings for the night's show until after the physical examinations and weigh-in.
