was a short but clean blow to center.
On his first time up he gave First
Baseman Anheier of Austin an excit-

the grass tops. but the nifty Ranger
infielder smothered the ball and got
frankie. Rosenthal smacked two that

HEYDLER OBJECTS TO
GAMES AMONG TEAMS
OF THE SAME LEAGUE
Spring Exhibitions Within
League Bad, Says Ma
tional Head.

New York, April 5.-Legislation
against National League teams play
ing each other on their Southern train
ing trips, was predicted Saturday by
President John A. Heydler, who has
just returned from a tour of Flor
ida camps.
Tho managers feel that they should
have more games between their reg
ular and their yannigans," said Mr..
IIey,ller. Personally, L feel that ex-
hibition games within the league are
not good practice. There was once a
rule against this but it was abrogated
when several National League teams
in the same locality could not find
other opponents. 1t is my opinion
that a rule forbidding it hereafter
will be brought up at the next league
meeting.
The public forms some erroneous
impressions from these games. The
fans judge solely by the score. Some
managers bring their teams along
slowly and others drive their clubs
harder. The games really mean moth
ing at ALL The main object of a
training trip is to get line on the
youngsters and get the veterans in
condition"
The National League head also COM
mented on the number of college men
now seeking berths on National
League teams.
Il was very much impressed by the
fine grade Of young men gathered in
these baseball camps from over the
country. / found more college men
there this year than we ever dreamed
of in the old drys of baseball"

TENOR SINGER HOPE
OF IRIS SPEAKERS
STAFF OF PITCHERS
Shaute Backed by Cleue-
lands Thunderbolt At
tack Should Win.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 5.-Colonel
iris Speaker is counting on the ia
cOngruous combination of tenor sing
er and thunderbolt-a Mccormack
and a Thor-to put his Indians back
in the hunt for the American League
trophy this year.
The tenor singer is Joseph Shaute,
curly. black-haired coal miner from
Pennsylvania, whose physical at
tributes suggest Jack Dempsey; the
thunderbolt is batting attack made
up almost exclusively of 800 hitters
and established fence demolishers.
Speaker needed onel more great
pitcher to step in and help the vet
Grams, Uhle and Coveleskie, carry
the burden. The Texan assures you he
has that man in Shaute, young left
handler who began to come in mid
season last year.
Shaute has fine speed and a
splendid pitching style. Next to Uhle.
star of the staff. he should be Speak
ers most dependable twister this year.
The two between them should win 40
games. Covelcsl;ie grows older ard
gets no better. Twelve or fifteen will
be large number of wins for him.
Speaker has others to back this
trio up; Metevier, who has adopted
Uhle's slab form and is aWemarkab,y
improved pitcher, Edwards, the tall
lcft-hander who still lacks real fast
ball; the. ancient Sherry Smith with
his battling balk movement. and the
usual flock of promising young
sters."
Aside from his pitching skill note
should be made. that no finer vocalist
has come to the big leagues in years
than .Shaute. Somewhere a Voice Is
Calling" is his favorite. 1t is also
Speakers favorite. 81 hone it's the
worlds series voice" he comments.
The Indians led the league in bat
ting last year. They will come close
to doing it again this year. Such
scientific subtleties as the sacrifice.
{ bunt and run and the squeeze will
have no place in the Indians scheme
of offense. The idea will be to swing
from the hip and swing often.
Stephenson. who replaces Wambs-
ganss at second, also replaces him in
the batting order. hitting after jamie
son, lead-off man. Wambsganss. crac,;
Eunter. is one of the cleverest sacri-
flee hitters in the league. That was
why Speaker had him hitting sec-
ond.
The Indians. however. will not miss
Wambsganss' genius as a sacrifice hit
ter because the sacrifice is not to he
used. Stephenson is slashing hit
ter, whose main and consistent intent
l.. to mutilate the ball with every
swing. Go ahead and mutilate. will
be Speakers instructions to him.
And Speaker. who follows in the
lineup, will swing his mace with a
similar purpose. So will Joe Sewell,
the cleanup hitter. and Burns. tue
new first-baseman. all of whom for
years have hit better than 300
against American League pitching.
No wonder the silver-voiced Shaute
is rehearsing a new dirge, "The Base
Hit Blues" TO be sung at the expense
Of opposing pitchers.
