BLOOMINGTON, Ind. April 8.— The more information Manager Ownie Bush of the Indianapolis Indians receives. on other American association clubs, the better he likes his own team. : And he hasn't quit trying to obtain new players. The Tribe's crying need, of course, is an experienced second-sacker to roynd out a seasoned infield with Ed Morgan at first, Joe Burns at third, and Bill Heltzel at short. Yesterday, Bush repeated that his
the league, and he banks on his pitchers to make the Indians a threat in the A. A.’s new race. The Indians are scheduled to spend the week-end in Lafayette playing exhibition games with the Cleveland Americans, today and tomorrow. In today's game there, weather and ground conditions permitting, Bush planned on using Dave Odom, George Diehl and Al Bronkhurst on the mound, with each working three innings.. Logan to Start Tomorrow In tomorrow's game, the Tribe skipper said Lefty Bob Logan, Johnny Hutchings and Woodie Rich would share the pitching against Lou Boudreau’s major leaguers. So far, Hutchings and Rich look like they are heading for a big season. The latter, a slow starter in other years, is rounding into fine physical condition and is expected to be a winner from the opening bell this year. Last year, Hutchings got off to a flying start and promises to do the same thing in the 1944 campaign. He is likely to receive the opening day assignment at Indianapolis, April 19, unless Bob Logan, only southpaw in camp, gets the call. Play Syracuse Wednesday The Indians practiced indoors again yesterday and spent two hours going through the paces in the Indiana university fieldhouse. It was announced that another exhibition game has been added to the Tribe's spring schedule. It will be an exhibition with the Syracuse Internationals at Bedford next Wednesday. Newest player in camp is Tom Atkins, who received an honorable dicharge from the army after serving in Africa. He is a friend of Wayne Blackburn, Tribe outfielder.

NEW YORK, April 8 (U. P).—
More than 40,000 horse racing fans
were expected to turn out at Jamaica today for the inaugural of the 181-day 1944 metropolitan -season. Anticipating and attendance records, Jamaica's operators ‘increased their mutuel clerk corps to 648 and moved the fences forward to accommodate several thousand additional fans. The historic Paumonok handicap was the feature on the opening day program, attracting 14 of the nation’s leading campaigners. The six furlong sprint for three-year-olds and up loomed as a twohorse affair between Belair farm's Apache and Greentree stable’s Devil Diver, carrying Ted Atkinson, leading rider in New York in 1943. They shared high-weight honors at 130 pounds. Apache rated as an early slight favorite at 5-2, while Devil Diver was listed at 3-1.

DES MOINES, Iowa, April 8 (U.

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 8.—Freddie Archer, the nine-toed larruper from Newark, shattered the current calm on New York's fistic front by declaring, “Beau Jack ain't fightin’ as good as he wuz when I licked him twicet.” Fortunately there were no flies working out on the poop deck of Stillman’s gymnasium, because the mouths of reporters popped wide open at this statement. The sports beagles were flabbergasted. Here was a guy smearing clay on the feet of fistiana’s idol. Archer, a square-shouldered, stocky blond, with a slightly caulifiowered left ear, towelled the perspiration from his face,-as he stood beneath the punching-bag canopy, and continued: A “I been watchin’ Beau Jack in all

Although Freddie has only nine toes, the navy accepted him, but the regulation shoes caused constant swelling of the right foot, from which the big toe is missing. When he was a small boy, a fire-escape weight fell on his foot, cutting off the toe. : Archer, a combination boxerhook, started his professional career in 19840, although he is only 21 now. In 43 bouts before entering the navy, he lost only to four opponents—Morris Parker, Marty Servo, Danny-Kapilow and Tippy Larkin.

NEW YORK, April 8.—Back from Mexico where he « had a brief and evidently unpleasant experience as manager of the Vera Cruz club in the native league, Rogers
Hornsby is casting a nostalgic ‘eye toward the majors. “It would be swell, to get a crack at that wartime pitching,”
We can appreciate how the veteran feels. Mediocrity’s going to be the rule in the majors this year and it must follow the pitching .
Hornsby’s y yearning reminds us of the first time Jack Dempsey, then retired, saw Primo Carnera in the ring. . “I'd give $100 bucks just to get one swing at that guys jaw,” mused the old man mauler. Hitters always like to hit. >
Hornsby to come back as a pinch
hitter at that, despite the fact he will be 48 years old this month. In this period of father and son baseball nothing is too fantastic. They say about the last thing a ball player forgets is how to hit. Babe Ruth hit Pittsburgh pitching for three home runs just a week Ty Cobb hit .323 for the Athletics
It appears Hornsby got only one swing as a pinch hitter in Mexico. All that happened was a home run. One of his chief handicaps at present is his bulk. We saw a recent picture of him which resembled an overfed blimp. To be effective as a pinch hitter he probably has to hit home runs, Remembering what a towering figure he was in baseball, it was distressing to see him reduced to Mexican baseball, about which the most charitable thing you can say is that it delights the natives. 1t's third rate baseball played amid grubby surroundings. The rap against Hornsby is that he is heir to a popular and growing ‘American weakness. He bets on horses. The Landis FBI hasn't plain enough there is one of those gentlemen's agreements which prevents his being considered as a
Unlikely to Return to Majors THE OFP-THE-RECORD decision seems to be that if the minors want him they can have him but it's no dice in the majors. A bright young lawyer could give that one quite, a wrestle. If a man is acceptable in the minors as a manager, how is it he is not acceptable in the majors, especially when all the leagues are under one rule? The unsatisfactory answer is that baseball has a curious way of doing some things. Thus, it was all right for Bing Crosby, who owns a race track, to hold stock in the Hollywood club but when he tried to buy the Boston Braves Landis told him he wasnt

Never Agreed With Brass Hats
APART PROM his interest in improving the breed, Hornsby, brutally to the point in all things, made few friends among the brass hats. He never agreed the boss had any right to question the actions of the hired man. As a consequence he has had a stormy career as a manager, starting with the time he was ousted by the St. Louis Cardinals right after he had won a pennant and a world series. That was in "26. The next three years found him with three

Our own association with Homsby did not support the charge, He was Joe McCarthy's second baseman with the Chicago Cubs and there were reports he was pulling strings to unseat the manager. We were never able to verify that. time Hornsby came to us with the information (weil founded). that Bob Shawkey wasn't to be resigned as manager of the Yankees and would we go to bat for him with Col.
