THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMER

Tribe Opens Last Week of Florida"

Indians’ Seasoned Pitchers |

Look Good and

Hitters, Too;

Nieman Slaughters Pellet

DE LAND, Fla) April 8—The Indianapolis Indians today launched their fifth and last week of training in Florida and Manager Bill Burwell is sure to bring a gang of rugged pastimers north.

The Tribe squad is well along

in physical condition, the seasoned

pitchers have rounded into presentable form and the hitters have their

eye on’ the horsehide. Although Chief Burwell still is experimenting at second, third and short, he’s not losing any sleep over the situation, since he believes all doubtful paesitions will be well plugged by the time the curtain goes up on the American association championship race on April 17.

Dill Is Sold

The Tribe management today sold Outfielder Bob Dill to Chattanooga of the Southern association and optioned Pitcher Roger Jones to Owensboro, Ky. in the Kitty league. The Tribe is overloaded with outfielders and there was no room for Dill, who batted .269 last season. The Indians are to break camp here early on Friday, April 12, and| go straight to Indianapolis. They’ 1 arrive in the home town in ample] time to get in one practice the] next day before taking on the Cincinnati Reds in an exhibition tilt at Victory fleld next Sunday afternoon. Plenty of Action The Indians’ last days in the Sunshine state are crowded with exhibition contests. As a matter of fact, they're booked to play every day. The Tribesters lifted the lid on the final week by traveling to Sanford today to tackle the St. Paul Saints. On Tuesday, the Saints] come to DeLand, and on Wednesday the Indians go’ to Daytona Beach to meet the Montreal Royals of the International league. Thursday's program is the same—Indian-

apolis vs, Montreal at Daytona. And |

that will be all in Florida for the Hoosiers this spring. The Indians had an easy assignment yesterday. They met the DeLand Red Hats of the Florida State

«league and pounded out*19 hits and

won, 13° to- 1. The feature of the Redskins’ attack was the fact that they collected 10 extra-base wallops, six doubles and four triples. Elmer (Butch) Nieman, out-

If an infectious enthusiasm and a determination to make good count, then Bonura is going to be troublesome in the forthcoming association flag race. Loop's Smallest Squad Zeke is working with the smallest squad of any manager in the league, but the talent was hand-picked by Mike Kelley, the cagy owner of the Millers. Minneapolis has been a second division club for four straight years and Bonura intends to end the skein of “also rans.” The infield gives promise of being the Minneapolis strongest point. Bonura plans to play part time at first base with Frankie Trechok, Joe Lafata, or collegian | Tony Jaros as his replacement. | Frankie Danneker, who hit .308 last season and was one of the minor league's finest base runners, is back for duty at second base.

©® Before World War II our transportation equipment was generally regarded as the most modern in the transit industry. We were pursuing a progressive policy of retirements and replacements to keep the system constantly modernized. ~ In the early stages of the War, the Office of Defense Transportation required us to cancel orders for 35 new motor coaches” We were unable to get any new vehicles until April, 1945, when our first 15 Diesel Motor Coaches were

delivered.

Extensive retirements of wehigles worn out during the war period, and their replacement with the most up-to-date types of vehicles, must now be made to remodernize the system. We are doing everything possible to accomplish this objective. Already $350,000 have been spent for new busés

“IT TAKES 9 TAILORS"

A man was deploring the delay in delivery of a suit of clothes he ordered three months ago. Patiently his draper explained what he knew about the scarcity of materials, labor, ete. . Finally, he said, “Don’t forget that it sakes nine tailors to build a suit”. The somewhat misquoting tailor is perhaps more fortunate than he realized. At least, his problem narrowed down to only nine men. But here's another picture: The power generating equipment operating steadily, 24 hours daily, in our Rushville station, represents the efforts—not of nine men—but of at least

remodernization. We believe it will be necessary, in the

next four years, to purchase more than 300 new vehicles at a total cost of nearly $4,500,000. We hope a token rate will be established that will enable us to carry this plan into effect, so that Indianapolis may continue to lead all other cities with up-to-date equipment and wives,
