THE dearth of ball players is not going to interfere with the spring training plans of the Indianapolis Indians, and the Tribe Batterymen have been ordered to report at Bloomington, Ind., Wednesday and start limbering up for the new season. Inflelders and outfielders are to report next Sunday. + + i Tribe officials are hopeful of obtaining additional talent to round out a formidable squad before the American association's 1944 curtain goes up on April 19. . If money will buy new players the Indians are willing to dish it out. Tribe batterymen will launch training in the Indiana university fieldhouse which they will share with the Cincinnati Reds. . . . Both clubs used I.-U. facilities last spring and got along o. k. Tribe players due in Bloomington Wednesday are Pitcher-Coach Bob Logan and Pitchers.John Hutchings, Woodie Rich, George Diehl, Al Bronkhurst and Dick Martin, a rookie, Catcher Hugh Poland and Joe Aliperto, rookie infielder. Catcher Norman Schlueter and. Pitchers Salvo, Odom and Stout received permission fo report at a later date. , .. First Baseman Ed Morgan prefers to play the outfield and the Indians are in the market for an experienced first sacker,

RS s . Blackburn to Be Back at Old Stand WAYNE BLACKBURN, the Tribe's regular left fielder and ace leadoff man, has accepted terms and will report at Bloomington next Sunday. . . . The Indian management is on the trail of an experienced outfielder and has made a fancy cash offer. Manager Ownie Bush said the training routine will be along last year’s lines, indoors at first and then outdoors just as soon as the weather permits, . . . The players are fully aware of wartime conditions north of the mint julep line and are expected to respond accordingly. The North never will replace the South-and southern California for baseball training and all clubs will return to the sunshine states after the war. 2 o 2 The Haves’ avd the ‘Have Nots’ THIS is baseball's third wartime year and all American asscia~ tion- clubs -are--at ‘the bottom. of - the barrel scraping for players. . .

John Wilson’ S Injury Seen as

Only Handicap

By FRANK WIDNER Anderson's hard-hitting Indians remained in the favorite’s role today to annex the state high school basketball crown here in the Coliseum Saturday afternoon but followers of Coach Charley Cummings’ charges cast an apprehensive eye at the condition of Big John Wilson, spark plug of the Indians’

semi-finals last week end. Meanwhile, the other three members of the “Big Four” who will make up the tourney's final teams, took time out to ‘catch their wind after a rugged semi-final found them having a much harder time than Anderson. Kokomo's Wildcats had to upset a favored Muncie Burris team, 39-35, in the afternoon game and then defeat defending champion Ft, Wayne Central, 35-28, at night. Evansville Bosse hammered Mooresville into submission, 46-33, and then clipped Washington's Hatchets, 40-34. La Porte beat] Frankfort, 44-34, and barely got by previously unbeaten Culver, 24-23.

The Indianapolis Capitals folded |up like a wet dishrag at the coliseum last night before 6869 paid customers and absorbed a 7-2 beating at the hands of the Cleveland Barons in the second-last game on the season's schedule-on home ice. The Caps. now have two more games to play, and both are with Cleveland. . They travel to the Ohio rink Saturday night and then will be hosts to the high-scoring Baron outfit here next Sunday.
