Maybe the Indians Will Hit a Double

3 THE Indianapolis ball club has decided to “shorten the fences” -at Victory field by moving home plate 20 feet farther away from the stands. . . ,. The box seat customers probably won't like the idea of shoving the diamond out but the club officials hope it will increase long tall hitting by the feeble Tribe batters. The past season extra-base hits by the Indians were few and far between even in the small parks on the road , . . For example, in Milwaukee's small park they failed to win a single game in 11 starts and in Minneapolis’ small park one day the Tribesters got 16 hits, all singles. Players on visiting teams who have pounded out home runs at Victory field will be glad to know it will be easier for them to belt more home runs here next year. :

Tigers Announce Spring Training Plans

IF the northern program is continued, the Detroit Tigers will return to Evansville, Ind, for 1945 spring training, club officials have announced. . . . In the event ball clubs are permitted to return to the south, the Tigers will train at Lakeland, Fla. = ;
