SPORTS.

By Eddie Ash

FRED HANEY, the Toledo Hens’ skipper, is fairly optimistic about his team’s chances in the American association this year. . .. In fact, Fred sizes up his flock as all right in the box, back of the plate and in the outfield. . . . But he still is searching for infield replacements. According to Bob French, veteran sports editor of the Toledo Blade, veterans will occupy a prominent spot on the pitching staff. « « « TWO southpaws from the St. Louis Browns, Fritz Ostermueller and Archie McKain, already have been turned over to the Mud Hens, Ostermueiler’s arm is regarded as doubtful, but MeKain should help, said French in an article dealing with the prospects of his home town club. . . . Johnny Marcum, Harry Kimber lin and Roy Parmelee from last year’s club are again available, and so is Boyd Sorelle, a youngster who showed plenty last season. . . . All these holdovers are righthanders. In addition to these Haney has a flock of youngsters in training. . . . If one or two show enough to win places as relief hurlers, Haney will be satisfied. . . . Hal Spindel will do the bulk of the catching, aided by young Art Keller, up from the Browns’ Springfield, Il, farm. . . . Chuck Stevens, now with the Browns, is expected to be back to play first base, but the rest of the infield is uncertain. . . . Mark Christman is back, and will be all right at one of the other spots, but where that will be is unknown, until it is found out what other infielders will be obtained. Lin Storti, veteran of many minor ldague campaigns, is on the roster. . . . The Browns may send further infield help, but that is rather uncertain at present, and efforts are being made to get a couple of infielders from other sources. . . . Several other infielders are training at the camp. but until they show something they won't be counted upon to bolster the ciub. Beau Bell, former big leaguer, has been purchased from WilkesBarre, and is expected to play left field. . . . Bell was quite a hitter a few years ago, and he also affords the club some first base protection in an emergency. . . . Milton Byrnes, who did a fine job in center field last vear, is virtually sure to start the season at that position.

In addition to his infield preblem, Haney isn’t satisfied with the run-making strength of his club as it stands today, and is angling for some fellows who can wallop the ball.

‘Smiling Jimmy' Piloted Four A. A. Clubs

BASEBALL LOST a popular figure when Jimmy Burke died in St. Louis yesterday. . . . He spent many years on the diamond as a player, manager and coach, and veteran Indianapolis fans will recall him as a third baseman and manager of the Indians at old Washington park... . He was 67 years ola. “Smiling Jimmy" always hustled and he was particularly fond of helping young players progress in the sport. . . . In the American association he managed Kansas City in 1206 and 1907. Louisville in 1808. Indianapolis part of 1810 and all of 1911 and 1912, and Toledo in 1924 and 1925. In the majors, Burke piloted the St and the Browns three seasons.

Louis Cardinals one year

WHILE BURKE was managing Indianapolis, Joe McCarthy was on the Tribe roster as an infielder and he was released by Jimmy on account of weak batting. . . . Later, when McCarthy advanced to the big leagues as a famous pilot he hired Burke as a coach, first with the Chicago Cubs and later with the New York Yankees. Ill health forced Burke's retirement from the game several years ago when he still was working under McCarthy with the Yankees

death” period—the game ending with the first score made. MecAtee, who had scored only one goal in the five games played between the two teams, turned out to be the “sudden death” for the fighting Indians. He got the disc away from Bob Dill, in the Indian end zone, leaped across Dill who was bending over, and stumbling, shoved the rubber across the ice and right past Mike Karakas, substitute Springfield goalie. In performing this feat, McAtee had to ward off Hazen McAndrew, another Springfield defense man, who was bearing down

on him. Rooters In Frengy

The 8000 fans, who almost to a man had stayed to see the battle through to the finish, leaped roaring to their feet and the jubilant Caps tried to hoist McAtee to their shoulders and carry him off the ice. But he insisted on walking. Good playing, of course, won the game for them but the Caps took no chances and had all their “rabbit feet” working. Manager Herbie Lewis wore the gray wool socks, knitted for him by Mrs. C. H. MecCaskey, which he wore during Tuesday night's vietorious game; Goalie Joe Turner had a new stick (the Caps haven't lost a game this season in which Turner started out with a new stick): Joe Fisher gave his gold ring to Lewis (another good-luck omen), and Hee Kilrea kept a fourleaf clover sent to him by Mrs. Charles Dawson, wife of the lieutenant governor, in his rear pocket. Silly? Maybe. but our Caps won.

Largest Local Crowd

The crowd which saw last night's fifth and deciding match in the Calder Cup first-place playoffs was the largest ever to see a hockey match here. And those who say that the Indianapolis fans don't show as much enthusiasm as the fans in other hockey towns can make that state ment no longer. The crowd caught hockey fever. The fans cheered, booed Eddie Shore (Mr. Hockey), the Indians’ playing manager, called Referee Ag Smith every name in the books and threw papers, popcorn and

hockey fans. By winning last night's game, the! Capitals get to split a $5000 pot| which the league gives to the win-| ner of the first-place playoffs and are assured of either £2500 or $2000 more in the finals.

In commenting on the series with the Indians which went the full possible five games, Manager Herbie Lewis said he believed the play of the goalies was the most outstanding feature.
