BOXING
SMITH TO REFEREE
WILDE-MASON GO

TOLEDO, March ED Smith Of Chi
cagO will referee the Jimmy Wilde
frankie Mason twelve-round bout for the
fyweight championship of the world here
Friday evening. After more than an hour
in conference with Dave Hughes, man
ager for Wilde, and the Welshman him
self, the Toledo boxing commission came
to the conclusion that Wilde will not
alter his opinion, which is in opposition
TO Ollie PecOrd of Toledo, as referee, and
virtually gave in on the question Of an
arbiter. Hughes and Wilde were given
until Thursday to make their final deci
sion. It is certain, however, the Welsh
man will hold out against PecOrd, and
in that ever Smith will officiate.
Wilde's objections to Pecord are base0
largely on that officials work at the VIII
lard Dempsey affair last July 4. He told
Ad Thacher, who is promoting the bout,
that he would not fight for Pecord, and
the referee question was left open UntiH
Monday. Pecord. more than q month
ago, when he heard of WlIue ODject4U.is,
gracefully withdrew from any cOnsidera-
ton, but the commission held out that
he should officite If 1t was possible to
induce Wilde TO go on with him in the
ring.
Wilde's workout Monday afternoon
with half a dozen heavy sparring part
ners made lot of friends for the Briton.
lie showed some neat speed and disclosed
that he is past master at the ring game.

INDIANS PACK
BAGS FOR TRIP

Tribe. Squad Departs Early
Wednesday Morning for
St. Petersburg Camp.
MORE PLAYERS ARRIVE

Infielders Schneider and Long. the lat
ter a recruit recommended by Ollie
O'Mara. were morning arrivals here to-
day to join the Indianapolis baseball
club as it packed up for the start for Its
spring training trip to st. Petersburg,
Fla. Other players were expected to
drift in this afternoon and Manager
Hendricks planned to hold get-to-
gether session this evening with the
regulars and rockies. Pitchers Crum and
Terrell, Infelder Wolf and Catcher Hen
line reported Tuesday and all stated they
were anxious to hop the RATHER for Dix
leland. Pitcher Cavet and First Base
man Covington will not come to Indian
apolis for the trip, but will go to the

BRoNKIE SENDS
DEFINITE WORD.
Definite word has been received from
Herman Bronkie that he can not leave
home at this time due to the serious
illness of his wife Herman was on the
point of packing up his baseball toys
again when his wife became ILL and he
informed Owner Smith that as the ply
sieians had advised an operation he
thought 1t best to give up all thoughts
of baseball for the present ollie . Mara
is still a holdout, but the Tribe officials
are confident that the heavy hitter will
Join the team because the terms offered
ollie read in big league figures.
A strenuous spring training schedule
has. been mapped out and Owner Smith
and Manager Hendricks are going To
great expense to give indianapolis fans
team to be proud Of. The fact that the
pitching staff needs bOlstering and that
Veterans Yerkes and Bronkie will not be
present and that OMara is a holdout
does not seem TO be worrying the club
directors. Owner Smith is going south
with the squad and will be on hand to
aid Hendricks in any deals proposed.
Negotiations are on with few big league
camps and when the majors begin weed
ing out surplus talent the Indians will
have their nets spread.
EXHIBITIONS WITH
BIG LEAGUERS.
Exhibition games have been booked in
Florida with the Washington Americans.
Cincinnati Reds, Brooklyn Dodgers and
Havana Stars and then later games Will
be played with Chattanooga at Cnatta-
nooga and on the return home the De-
troit Tigers will be met at washington
park In three games April 10. II ana II.
Manager Hendricks is known as hard
worker in spring training and it wont
be long until he has the squad stacking
up in condition. The Tribe party ar
rfves in st. Petersburg Thursday night
and the first practice viii be held Fri
day morning, so it looks like the ath
leteS are Que 10 Ieei the dcnlng KINKS
early.
st. Petersburg is advertised as an ideal
training spot, and If that is true Man
ager Hendricks says the fans can ex-
pect to see an ideal club In Tribe uni
forms the coming season. The pulse OF
the fan usu~'ly is low at this time OF
the year, du, TO the lack of definite in
formation on the probable lineup OF the
Indians, but the fact that Owner Smith
is spending a huge roll for spring train
ing would seem to indicate that he's
determined to put pennant contender
In the field.
