ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. March 29.-
Baseball teams are valuable advertising
mediums for cities and it is needless to
state that Indianapolis is getting gobs
and gobs of publicity through the visit
of It's baseball club to the southland
Since reaching Florida the Tribe has
traversed many miles by rail, water and
auto, and every stop has meant that
much more publicity for the Hooser cap
itol. The club Is training in Dixie Mt an
expense of about $1,000 and, though it
will take many games and numerous
large crowds at home to regain this
amount, Owner Smith is gamely taking
the chance in order that no other team
in the American association will have any
training advantage on his HoOsiers when
the A. A. 1920 bell rings.
The Cuban team, playing in Tampa and
st. Petersburg, is a crack outfit The
islanders are in shape the year around
and they put many hicks in the records

get in condition. In Tampa, when the
Cubans play, there Is ceaseless jabbering
in the bleachers, because that city has
a large Cuban population of cigar max
ers, and apparently all are baseball fans.

Christamores Are Easy
Pickings for Turner Five

The Christamore basket artists failed

on the Turner court and were handed a

to ~.
The east siders, bolstered by the addt-
ton OF several former high school stars,
followed the ball fast in the first few min
utes Of play, but when Capt Rice Gagged
the ball from the middle of the floor for
the Turner's after three minutes of going,
and Hennessey and Stevens followed with
two markers from almost the same spot
during the next minute, the Christamores
seemed to lose all their pep and the
south side lads registered almost at will
from that time on. The Turner'S held a

the big scorers for the Turner's, getting

EMERICH SHOWS
REAL FORM.
Outfelder Emerieh, secured from the
Phiilies, reported yesterday, and was out
for practice today, showing good form.
Iafelder Jimmy Smith is expected to re-
port to the club in Chattanooga, but he
will ind 1t no easy matter to beat Louie
Wolf out of his Job at the second sack.
Manager Jack and owner Smith are
still troubled considerably over the stand
ing of the pitching department. The big
bosses are making every effort to obtain
talent from the majors, but hurlers are
hard to get at this time. However, Hen
bricks is confident that he will land at
least two new ones by the time the
Indians roll into indianapolis.
WIN EASILY
The swatting of the Indians was the
big feature in their 15-tO3 victory over
the Southern college nine Saturday, and
the thing that made Manager Jack sit
back and stroke his chin in that old

welded their clubs like their fathers be-
fore them were wont TO swing their tom
ahawks and the bali got the habit Of
bouncing off all sections of the fence.
The Hoosiers gathered a total Of seven
teen hits. and Workmen, the hurler who
Inundated them shortly after their ar
rival here, was forced, to the showers

more meets in view, in the event that his
team is strong enought to fight through
those nov scheduled.
Track stock at Manual is above par
at this time because Of the abundance of

When baseball spring rraInfug vason

poets were not the brightest in the world
and there was some doubt as to whether

good singing and they Immediately de-
ctded that Butler should have a nine.

outfit was taken last week when Stanley
FEEBLE, a veteran Of the amateur and
semi-prO game, Ras signed to coach the
east siders. Rezle knows the game
about as well as the next one and the
a first-class outfit.
Last week the new coach ran his

victory over the American club team
Saturday afternoon, stated that ne will
that should be able to hold its own with
the best college and university teams in
the state. Although they showed lack
Of practice. the Butterflies were on their
toes every minute Of the Saturday after

that is a big boost toward the victory in
any athletic contest.
The original Butler baseball schedule
