BOWLING
TOO MUCH IS
TOO MUCH FOR
MANAGER JACK
Going to Pull Up Stakes and
Leave St. Pete in
Lurch.
INDIANS BEAT REDS
By EDDIE ASH,
Times Sports Editor.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 23.
Manager Hendricks today reopened ne
gotiations with Macon, Ga., and Tampa.
Fla., In view of changing the Tribe
training camp to one of those two cities,
and It Is almost certain that the Indians
will pack up and beat It out of St. D ete
before the sun comes up on anew v k.
Hendricks was to hold conference today
with local city officials, who want the
Hooslers to remain here, but It was be
lieved that said officials were A. O. L.
Manager Jack has Macon In view and
there Is hardly any doubt but that his
clan will be in new quarters by next
Monday.
ST. PETE MAX
PEATS DIRTY.
The decision to move away from St.
Petersburg is the outgrowth of the fail
ure of Dr. Moorefleld, owner of Moore
fleld park, to abide by an agreement
made when the Indians chose this spot
for training. In the agreement Dr. Moore
f.eld promised to have the park in drst
ciass shape when the Tribe reached here
and also to give the Indians a certain
per cent of the gate receipts at exhibi
tion games. He failed to do either

ing field, but Monday, Just before the
Inalanapolis-Clnclnnati game. Dr. Moore
field Informed the Tribe boss that he had
decided to cut the team o t of any gate
receipts. In other words he desired that
they play for nothing, while he and the
Cincinnati team divided the gate money.
This was too much for Hendricks and
for a time it looked as though there
would be no game, but after Mayor L&ng
and other prominent officials of St. Pete
conferred with Moorefleld and failed to
influence him to live up to the 3trree_
ment, thev urged that the game be rlayed
with promise that the sum due the in- i
dtans would be forthcoming. Owner
Smith, in order not to disappoint the
large crowd, agreed to play ihe game, j
but stated that plans would be launched
at once to take his squad to some other
city for training.
TRAIN AT YACHT
CLUB TODAY.
The Hooslers were still here today, but
they did not practice at Moorefleld park.

club, where they will work until they

ficlaJs today Issued a statement in which
they criticized the action of Dr. Moore
tield and also expressed regret over the
inconvenience caused the Indianapolis
ball club. Owner Smith is a true sports
man, but he likes to be treated fair
and does not believe in letting the other
fellow get the best of him when he c-.i
get away from it. The players are also
“sore” on Dr. Moorefleld and they are
anxious to get away to a city where
they will be given due consideration.
CLASSY SHOWING
AGAINST REDS.
The Indians looked like a different club
Mondav when they took the field in the
third of their exhibition games with the
Cincinnati Reds. The addition of Rohg
and O’Mara to the lineup gave the
Tribesmen more strength and confidence
and they slipped the world champs a
neat S-to-4 beating, much to the satis
faction of the hundreds of St. Petersburg
fans and tourists. Adams and Crum
divided the work on the mound for In
dianapolis, while Reuther and Gerner
performed the slab duties for Cincinnati.
The Reds got away to a flying start, get
t'ng three runs in the opening round, but
the Tribe refused to lose its life and
fought gamely until it had tied the
count and finally put over a win.
The Hooslers scored three runs in the
sixth, when Shlnners cleaned the bases
with a double, and in the ninth, after
the Reds had again taken the lead on
Henllne’g error, the Tribesmen put over
two runs for a victory, when Zwilllng
lifted the pill out of the lot and O’Mara
singled Scnrelber home, after Hank had
doubled and Covington had beaten out
a bunt. It was a sensational finish and
the chesty Reds were sent on their way.
greatly surprised. Schreibcr and Wolf
played. snappy ball for the Indians, while
Danbert and’Kopf starred for the Reds.
Manager Hendricks sent out more tele
frams today In an effort to obtain pitch
ng talent, wiring McGraw of the Giants
and Barrows of the Red Sox. Fortune,
former Eastern leaguer, now with the
Red Sox, is especially sought by the
Tribe pilot. The twirlers in camp here
now are Crum, Adams, Murray and Cavet.

Turner Basket Men
in Great Shape for
P. 0, D. Game Tonight
What is probably the strongest ama
teur basket qulctet ever organized In
Indiana will represent the South Side
Turners tonight in a battle with the
Pair-O-Dlee on the Turner floor. Conn,
center, was on the sick list last week
when the Turners walloped the North
Parks, but he will probably be seen at
his old post tonight, while Rice and
Stevens will work the forward jobs, and
Sec-rest and Seldenstlcker will fill in at
the guard stations. Harry Escol, floor
guard on this year's Shortridge High
school team, and Wallie Middlesworth
former captain of the Blue and White i
aggregation, will also be used before the
contest closes.
Stevens played his first game with the
Turners against the North Parks last
vveek and his work was the big feature
of the contest, although he was a bit
“shakey.” Tonight he will feel right at
home with the crowd and should show all
his stuff. Secrest is given the choice over
Lseol to start the game as floor guard
because of his experience with the south
side team. However, the little Shortridge
star has been going great in practice and
Capt. Rice will probably send him in
during the second period.
The Pair-O-Dlce, champions of the
reaerated loop, are In good shape for the
AMUSEMENTS.
