Iris Speakers machine impresse; one as being at that stage where it is ip need of repairs, or if not at the exact point, it will be soon.
 On the basis of games won and lost Bagby fell off 50 per cent last season. Gardner slackened up per ceptibly in the field, though still a very dangerous person at bat. Wamby had a bad year, Joe Wood will have hard task in filling Elmer Smiths { shoes in right field, though compe- tent critics agree that Smith will be in the vicinity of that short right field wall. Steve O'Neill shows un- mistakable signs of slowing up, but worst of all, Speaker himself IS limping, and when matchless Spoke leaves the Indians lineup it is Ike taking the capital stock and surplus out of a bank.
 Having thus Jumped all the handi- caps which the 1920 champions art likely to carry. we will list some of the new sources of energy that may make the burdens considerably lighter than would seep to be pos sible at the first glance.
 With the acquisition of Jack Mo- Innis at first base the club is bet ter equipped at the initial corner than it has been for many years Doe" Johnston and George Burns combined are not the equal cf "Stuffy" by any means, so that that position gets points on the credit side of the ledger. Walter Hammond an experienced minor league player who was a rookie with the Indians iE IS. is competing with Wambsgans for the keystone job and he may win it. Hammond is slashing right hand hitter. fast on the bases and suffers in comparison with Wamby only in fielding, and there he is fair
 Joe Sewell is going to crowd Scott, Gerber and Peck for the honor of be- ing the most valuable shortstop in the league. This lad was a corker last season and Is now just about ripe. He will outhit all other short fielders and Is rapidly nearing the Gerber class in covering territory.
 When Wamby was hurt early last season, Speaker took a green college kid, Stephenson, and put him on second. The lad had hardly seen a major league game before he was called on to play.
 Considering the circumstances he fie1ded finely and over stretch of about 45 full games he whaled the ball for an average of .330. Stephen son is now being pointed for third base against that evil day when Larry Gardner will find 1t convenient to take a rest.

Pitchers For Today
 Two of Moley's best pitchers are out of the game. Mike Eber- hard has been out for more than week now with bad hand and Roy Meeker is on the sick list now. Working two and three pitchers a game would make him up against it in midsummer, but with such wide selection to pick from the Baron chieftain is not worrying bit. He announced Monday that Logan Drake and Knox Henderson would pitch against the St. Paulers in the Tuesday game.
 Drake is the right-hander who tried with the Barons last spring. was sent to Orlando and finally found himself pitching for Spar tanburE. Henderson is the right handler purchased by the Pirates from the Knoxville club of the Appalachian league and later sold outright to Birmingham. Many of the big league scouts touted Hem derson as second John Morrf- son, and the fans have been view Ing his work with interest.
 
 Rest of Team Intact
 Moley seems to be satisfied with the remainder Of the combination he now has working and will probably send the same lineup aganist the Saints that he used against Louisville Monday. Stump Clarke Is playing a good game in left and will probably be the cus- todian of the smoked glasses when the regular season gets going. Silva is acting nicely in center and, of course, Harry Harper will play right.
 Burkett is looking better every day around the short field and can do one thing that few young ball players have accomplished. Ills throws to first, while he's still in motion and off balance go a strue to the mark as a homing

ST. PAUL WINNER OVER'BAMANINE
 IN FAST BATTLE
CrimsonS Hold Class "A 0p- ponents to Score
 of 3 to i

University, April 3.-(special)- In swift. zippy game, the St Paul Saints won from the local University of Alabama nine by a score of to 1. The game was featured by fast. clean fielding and some sensational catches afield. Christensen featured in the third when he took fly off Hintons willow. getting 1t from his shoe strings, and then rolling over thrice. The air-tight infielding and pitching of the Saints held the locals to five hits and one run. 'Bama ob- tained only four bingles off Williams in the seven innings that he worked, and one off Rogers, triple in the ninth by Pitcher Hinton.
 The visitors sprang off to a double counter lead in the first frame. Christensen, first up, went out, short to first. Charley Dressen, diminutive third bagger of the Sainted crew. doubled to left and came home a min uate later on Riggart's one-cylinder blow to right, Riggart progressing to second on the attempt to catch Ores sen at the plate. Brooks went safe on an error and Riggart went to third. Whelan singled down the third base line, and Riggart elattered over with the second run of the contest.
 St. Paul Scores Again
 The Crimson's guests swatted Hin ton hard, but their blows were well scattered and they did not puncture the score board again until the sixth session. Berghammer, first up, hit for two bags. Gonzales flied out to right field, but Shortstop Boone came through with lusty double that drove Berghammer over the pan with the visitors last counter.
 Alabama pushed over her Lonesome tally in the ninth. Pitcher Hinton, first up. landed one of Tom Rogers fast ones and propelled the donkey hide to the right field fence for a trio of sacks. Peter Pitts went out second to first, but Hinton scored a minute later when Lewis was re- tired at first.
 Whelan, at first. accepted and ex- ecuted 16 putouts without a pebble. Nanny Brooks and Bergy Bergham- mer stepped into the bright light with their clubs. Brooks gathered brace of bingles out of two voyages to the plate and Bergy did this twice from his quartet of visits to the pan. DOOHtf IAlEEdII, Tom HenQTXX, Brooks and Berghammer all col lected a two-bagger each
 For the locals, Captain Red Hall and Shortstop Gillis stood out most prominently. Captain Hall relieved himself of some nice fielding, as did Gillis, who added a pair of hits to his record. Pitcher Hinton pitched a nice game of ball. considering the fact that he was facing fast com pany. He recorded triple and the lone run accumulated by the local nine as his endeavors in other lines.
 The Saints depart from Tuscaloosa tonight. going so miles northeast to Birmingham to encounter the South ern league club of that city tomor- row. If the Sainted hurlers are in good trim they will lick the Barons and have another game tied up and ready to ship to St. Paul tomorrow night. Rogers, Sheehan and Hall are slated to draw the slab assignments for this engagement.

 He will be IS years old June 2. He was born in Vienna. Austria, but his family emigrated to Chicago when he was an Infant. It was with a group of barefoot boys that he first padded in the surf of Fullerton beach. At the age of 6. he had taught himself to keep afloat and until a year and half ago he was his own mentor. He stands six feet one inch. weights 16s, has unusually broad shoulders and large hands and feet. part of the equipment of all great swimmers of the past.
 T don't think my feet and hands have much to do with It." he said. "Jt's all in the stroke and the tim
 
 beats to a stroke.'
 Not day passes that Weissmuller does not swim. He takes a dip imme- diately after breakfast and fully is in the water three times a day. In training he does not diet and on tho day of a race he eats big steak well done. He is fond of preserved figs, and once broke four records after filling his stomach with 'hot dogs"
 Contrary to general belief. he does not employ the Australian stroke, but what he calls the American stroke i" and declared the speed is in the per- feet cynchronlzation of his arm and leg movement. He breathes with every stroke.
