THE Minneapolis Millers jumped the gun on spring baseball training by utilizing the University of Minnesota fieldhouse Monday. . . . Manager Rosy Ryan decided to conduct an indoor tryout school to lock over young talent picked up in the Gopher state area. Ryan sent eight youngsters through the paces. . .. It is Ryan's intention to try out the eight prospective Millers and other recruits ii the Minnesota fleldhouse until time to open the Minneapolis club's training camp at Quincy, Ill, March 27. “We might as well find out now whether the boys have sufficient ability to warrant-taking them to camp,” Ryan declared. “This experiment may save us considerable railroad fare and hotel expenses.” Andy Lotshaw Visits Old Home Town ANDY LOTSHAW, the Chicago Cubs’ veteran trainer, was a visitor at Victory fleld the other day. . . . He was en route to French Lick to open the Cubs’ spring training camp. ... “Doc” chewed the fat with Tribe Manager Ownie Bush and Trainer Jim Pierce. Lotshaw, a former Indianapolis resident, was a member of the pennant-winning Indianapolis Indians in 1917... . He served in three capacities, trainer, coach and pinch-hitter. . . . He also broke into the lineup as a regular in some late-season games, in the outfield and at first base. “And I can get out there and perform again,” Lotshaw boasted to. Pierce. oo a Andr once was a home-run fing in the little minors. ... In the old days, batting against the dead ball, the big fellow belted 28 homers.

Off tio Bactboardm Dear Boss: Indians, Wildeats Are Confident;

By FRANK WIDNER

DEAR BOSS: Well, I got back here all right after taking that trip to Andegson and Kokomo that you asked me to (only had one flat tire) and I'll tell you. right now I never saw two Indiana towns so hepped up over a basketball game in all my life as those two were. In Anderson, quite naturally, they will tell you that the Indians are going to win and the same is truer about the Wildcats in Kokomo. I did find out Some things that both Charley Cummings of Anderson and Ralph King of Kokomo have in common. Both are in their second year of coaching at the respective schools, this is the farthest either has gona in the tourney and both are itching for another crack at the other.. You know, they've met twice, Kokomo winning in a New Year's day tourney at Anderson, 36-35, and the Indians turning the trick at Kokomo later in the season, 48-39. Says-Mr. Cummings: “Ive got a lot of respect for Kokomo as well as the other two teams in the finals, Bosse and La Porte. They're all plenty tough or they wouldn't be where they are.” Says Mr. King: “My boys figure they-are as good-as-the Indians. It ought to be some battle.” = 8 . NOW THE big question—how is John Wilson coming along with that injury he received in the semi-finals?—is something that still can’t be fully answered.

Even the doctors don't know

_exact]ly and, frankly, boss, Cum-

mings is worried about his big star. He tore a ligament in his back when he fell over that Aurora player last Saturday and the darn thing hasn't responded too well to treatment. Monday, Wilson seemed to be a lot better and Cummings was highly pleased with his progress. Yesterday, his back started hurting him again and he was unable to work out in scrimmage with the

* team. All he could do was prac-

tice a little basket shooting (you ought to see him hit 'em). Mr. King, a good-looking young chap who happens to be the man of the hour around Kokomo, is just as worried about Wilson as Cummings is. “We’d rather play Anderson at full strength,” he said. “We'd rather beat them at their best or not at all.” That's a pretty decent outlook on the subject, don’t you think, boss. EJ 2 - KING HAS got a ball club that isn’t the least bit flashy but they play sound basketball and are dead shots. Hampered by injuries during the first part of the season, they won but 11 of 18 games during the regular campaign and didn’t hit their stride until tourney time. That's a very opportune time, don't you think? Their trump card—or so it has been during the tourney—is a 6-foot-5 tow-headed center by the name of Tom Schwartz. He was high scorer for the Wild-

cats during the season but hasn't been pouring 'em in so much during the tourney. But that doesn’t mean a thing... It was . Schwartz controlling the rebounds that carried the Kingmen through the sectionals, regionals and semi-finals. His teammates were confident that he could grab that ball off the bankboard when the opposing team fired. And they would race down the floor, knowing that Big Tom would heave the ball out. Then it remained to John Leslie (he's high scorer for the Wildcats in the tourney), Charles Farrington, Gene Turner or Walter McFatridge, to get it through the hoop. King says his boys are not what you would call a fastbreaking team but they can speed things up plenty " the occasion demands.

. » n ALL of his boys are in tiptop shape for their big scrap with the Indians in the first game of-the finals here at the Coliseum Saturday at 1:30 p. m. That's the gondition of the Anderson team, too, with the exception of Wilson, and all they've got to worry about is that they will be facing much sterner competition in Kokomo than they did in their waltz through the first three stages of the tourney. s » . P. 8S. Cummings and King said to pass the word along that if you knew anywhere they could get a ticket to let them know.
