TRIBESMEN AND
SENATOR'S NOW
PLAN TO LOAF
Not Going to Pay Any More
Attention to Weather
Just Like Idle Rich.
Good ioke on the weather mani

GOOD Joke on the weather man.
Here he has been working overtime
shooting rain and storms at Indianapolis
in an effort to prevent the Indians and
Senator's from playing baseball and to-
day It was made known thai the teams
really do not want to play, and therefore
the weather man has been playing right
into their hands.
Ha, ha, hal All that work for nothing
at least that is the attitude taken by
the club managers today.
1t Is q sort of 'fOOler" ATTITUDE N
other words, camouhage.
BY just Ioafng around and appearing
to forget about baseball and rain the
athletes hope to cross up the weather
shark and fool him into laying on the
shower stuff
: Here's hoping they have struck the
right Dlau. because this business OF post
poning games daily is becoming tire
In line with the st don't care" tao

both say II they never meet they viii
never be enemies, so let It rain
object to closing the season right now.
Cal Crum would like TO win q game
before fall. but says he's not going to
beg for sunshine.
At any rate, the third game OF the I'M

athletes put in one more day OF loanng.

Sherman for Columbus.
Jimmy Smith is slated to work at
second base Wednesday. He has been
H. F.wNE -
lack Of condition and the weather held
him back.
Owner Smith departed for the east
relative. The Tribe president received
short notice Of the death and he had to
hustle to make the train.
Jack Hendricks says the Indians viii
deliver all right despite the weakness IN
the pitching staff. He declares he'll OBJ
tain the needed talent In time for tha
long road trip, which starts next week.
Indianapolis has been beaten out in the
competition for the league opening day
attendance trophy. Louisville is said
TO have topped the local figures, while
Toledo expects to top Louisville If the
Hens keep win mig before reaching home
for their opening.
Including today, out Of seven games
scheduled the Tribe had four post
ponements. April is slipping when it
comes TO delivering baseball weather. 1t
never did hit hard, but this year 1t evil
IDENTIFY means to bat Ike a pitcher.
Harry Frazee and Babe Ruth are still
passing a few gibes now and then. The
big fellow with the big bat and the
strong shoulders hands this one to the
Red Sox ma gnate-
Take the Ruth day at Boston last
season, for instance. The Knights OF
Columbus, OF which I am 4 member,
turned out to honor me. and what did
he do?
"Bs raised the price Of the grand
stand seats. and held them up. After
the game he called me into the office and
gave me a nickel cigar for drawing $1,000
