But iy Held to No Runs

By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor

With. two days remaining to sharpen up for the American association

with the Toledo Mud Hens

here Wednesday night, the Indian-

Indians are to concentrate on batting practice and plenty of it. " One long drill was booked today, in the late afternoon, and it will

be the same

tomorrow. The Redskins brought their late Florida training hitting slump

north with them and were held to four blows and were shut out by the Cincinnati Reds in an exhibition attraction at Victory field yesterday. The score was 4 to 0. It must be taken into consideration, however, that the Tribesters were facing big league pitching and the Reds, as a team, held the added advantage of a Jonger period of Some iffirence Cincinnati pitchers and catchers launched training in Florida on Feb. 22 and the others on Feb. 28, The Indians did not go to work down there until March 11. But the Victory field fans apto be well satisfled with what the home boys have to offer although Manager Bill Burwell has yet to reach a definite decision on who will fill the positions at the regular season’s start on the left side of the diamond. He used Joe Bestudik at third and Bd Turchin at short yesterday. Ted Cieslak, who played third in several games in Florida, was on the sick list and young Frank Staucet was installed at short only ‘one inning, the ninth, after Artie Parks batted for Turchin in the eighth. Derringer Opens Big Paul Derringer hurled the first three innings for the Tribe and turned back the Reds, his old mates, with no runs and only one hit. He struck out one. and issued only one walk. Since Derringer has been the leading candidate to open on the Tribe mound against Toledo Wednesday, he just about sewed up the coveted assignment by his performance against the Queen City National leaguers. The Sabbath contest was played before a paid attendance of 8224, which probably set a record for a spring exhibition game in Indianapolis. Rex Cecil hurled the second threeinning hitch for the Tribe and also held the Reds runless and fanned | two. ‘But Glen Fletcher didn't have that kind of luck. He went in in the seventh and the Redlegs got to him for two runs on a walk, a double, a wild pitch and a scoring fly. Get to Barrett

Nieman opened the Indians’ ninth with a three-base hit blast to deep left center but was” left on third as Wentzel fouled out, Chet Wiedzorek fanned and Frank Drews popped out. It was a well-played contest afield and there were no errors. The action looked like midseason for six innings. The Indians completed two double plays, one in the first stanza, the other in the third, both coming to the aid of Derringer.

Baseball Dinners

The Indians took time out today to pull up chairs in the knife-and-fork league. They attended a noon luncheon “as guests of the High Twelve club at the Washington hotel; tonight they will be dinner guests of the Indianapolis Power & Light Co.; tomorrow noon they will be entertained at luncheon by the Universal club at the Columbia club, and tomorrow night the Lake Shore Country club has arranged a hug? baseball dinner for them. Al Javery, veteran righthanded pitcher of the Boston Braves, departed the Indians today to rejoin the National league club. He spent part of the Florida spring training period on the Indians’ roster while
