BOWLING
INDIANS READY
FOR THE THIRD
CINCY CONTEST
Will Be in Better Shape With
Rehg and Cavet in
Lineup.
TRIBE AFTER BRESSLER
By EDDIE ASH.
Times Snorts Editor.
ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.. March 22.
After a trip lasting from early Sunday
morning' until shortly before noon to
day, Jack Hendricks 1 Indians and Pat .
Moran's Reds reached here from Miami,
ready to get together in the third game
of their exhibition series. Manager .Tack j
fesls bad oyer the showing his warriors
made Saturday when they were defeated :
20 to 2, bnt the big chief hasn’t got
a thing on the warriors themselves. All
the way from Miami here, they have been
figuring out a style of attack that would
bring them a victory in today’s game and
even if they don't win, it is a cinch that
the Red fellows are not going to grow
weary circling thd bags.
The big leaguers and Hoosiers occupied
two coaches in the journey from Miami
and due to several delays along the
route, both clubs were rather worn from
travel when they reached here. The last
leg of the trip was made by boat from
Tampa and the athletes had to don their
overcoats during the trip over the breezy,
bounding main.
CAVET AND
REHG READY.
Pitcher Pug CaTet and Outfielder Rehg
were awaiting the tribe here and their
presence more than made up for the loss
of Pitcher Ferrell and Infielder Long, the
two youngsters who were released in
Miami after Saturday's sad, sad showing.
Ollle O’Mara was slated to make his ap-
Sarance In playing harness again today,
though he is still in need of practice.
Manager Hendricks was unsuccessful in
coming to any definite agreement with
Pat Moran regarding a pitcher, bnt be
has placed a handsome bid for ••Rube”
Brassier and there is a big chance of
the tribe landing this southpaw;. If
Jimmy Smith fails to report the Red
landers will still owe the Indians a
plaver in the Crane deal, therefore, some
tort of a deal will he consumated be ,
fore the clubs start winding their weary j
way northward.
St. Petersburg made the usual big
preparations for the contest today and j
as evervbody and his brother expressed ,
desires at getting a squint at the Cincy !
ehamps, the bleachers were carded to ■
moan and groan under the stress of n
record crowd. Getting back to St. Pete
was like getting back home to the In
dians. Little rest was obtained in Miami,
due to the overabundance of sights and
the heat there. There are a flock of
Hoosiers in the coast city and the ath
letes 'lid not lose out on a lilt of enter
tainment Gov Goodrich was there and
although he did not turn out for the ball j
games, he greeted the boys out at Carl
Fisher’s bathing beach, where the team I
enjoyed a swimming party.

ville Colonels defeated Mobile. 7 to 3. yes
terday in the se ond game of their series. !
Tatum, Louisville rookie, pitehed the first i
three innings for the Bears and his work
was the feature of the game.
ROGER GETS FOOLED.
TOLEDO, 0., March 22. Roger Bres
nahan blew into town **inday afternoon
looking for baseball players. He said
he expected some of his holdouts to re
port here and came over from Louis
ville to see if they had arrived. He
found no athletes and departed tonight ;
for the south.

WHAT THEY SAY
MRS. JOHNNY DUNDEE.
Now Johnny Dundee believes that b°
can annex the 133-pound title. He h.i3
been giving away weight in the ten yea rat
he has been in the game, hut still he
seems to have a tremendous energy
against heavier fighters. M-. Dundee,
now his sole adviser in pugilistic mat
ters, thinks Johnny deserves a lot of
credit.
"Every time Johnny meets Leonard
he give away several pounds, and 1
think that after meeting him eight times
and always holding ins own with him
he should be given more credit than he
gets. A week before the in.~t fight he i
had a heavy cold and right up to the ;
night before the contest he had to have
his chest rubhed so as to relieve the
pain. He put up some bout for a sick
man, didn’t he? If Johnny ever gets
Benny in a bout where they give a
referee’s decision he'll win the title sure. :
I’ve seen Johnny in all ills bouts and
I know that at 133 pounds ringside he
can beat any boxer in the country."
GEORGE SISLER.
The Yankees have the machine to cop
the American league pennant and they
will have to fight the Cleveland Spokes
for it, is the opinion of George Sisler.
■tar first sacker of the St. Louis Browns.
George thinks Babe Ruth will knock at
least fifty home rnns this season. As to
the Babe’s mentality Sisler says:
“Well, that is another proposition I
have heard that he is outguessed easily
by a smart pitcher. But even then his
mechanical superiority gets him out of
many a tight situation. New York will
find that Ruth’s hitting and the knowl
edge that they have a man of his caliber
on the team will make anew club out
of the Yankees. Incidentally, while no
body is claiming any pennants for the
Browns, our club may come through with
a big surprise. It is not a championship
proposition on paper, but it is not always
the paper champion which goes into the
world series.”
THEY’RE DIFFERENT NOWADAYS.
Some years ago—yes quite a few years
•go—Joe Choynski tried a comeback at
Philadelphia against a big fellow by the
name of Williams. The quarrel lasted
the whole six rounds and was about a
draw. It satisfied Joe, however that he
was only there with one cylinder. He
never fought again.
In the dressing room that night they
were kidding him abont his battle. They
laughed about Joe’s cut mouth In the
second round. Joe’s admirers thought he
was in for a pasting when they saw
the sock he took on the kisser.
“Funny thing,” remarked Joe. pulling
off a shoe, “I never could fight until :
wss hit. I like to be hit. Os course
there's a sting for the moment, hut It
makes you go. You feel then there's
something to get square for. 1 never
conld fight until I was hit."
This story is on the square. The writ
dr was- present at the time.

CRAWFORDSVILLE IS
SLIGHT FAVORITE.
Crawfordsville bobbed up as an early
favorite by virtue of their second round

Wingate team has shown exceptional
form throughout the tournament and
their victories over Macomb and Stivers

CORBETT HIS CHOICE.
Charlie Hanson, the six-day promoter,
is a fight fan from way hack, and if
you doubt us start chinning with him
about the knights of the upholstered
mitts. We asked Chas who, in his opin
ion, was the greatest fighter.
“Jim Corbett, without a doubt,” piped
Hanson, taking another drag out of his
jitney Havana. "My idea of a fighter
is a man who can take care of himself
when that old gong clangs. You know
Corbett could punish a man, jab, upper
cut and make him look foolish. Very
seldom was the old boy socked. He took
care of his face and his hands, too.
There are no marks on Corbett. He
could take a job as a floor walker, pose
as a hero or take John Barrymore’s part
right now. There Isn’t a mark on him,
and look at the guys he fought.
‘\He beat Choynski, Kllrain. Sullivan,

men that ever lived, Peter Jackson. You

he was a champ.

so much warmth and sunshine in such big

In the game with the Washington club
Nick Altrock captured a grass snake
while roaming around the field and he
immediately dashed for the bleachers,
waving the reptile and roaring in true
Jungle style. Os course the women fans
screamed, but Nick didn’t stop waving
the snake and he chased one of bis

to put it down said mate’s neck.
