Spring Training Camp
News From, the Majors

ATLANTA, Ca, March % H9.-Major
triple play of the 1927 season went to.
Carl Lind, a recruit of the Cleveland
Indians, who today completed three
man killing unassisted. The diminutive
shortstop, who came to the Tribe from
Peoria, of the Three-Eye league, made
the sensational maneuver in the sixth
inning OF a game between the regulars
and rockies at Lakeland, Fla.
The setting for the play was ideal.
The two teams were deadlocked in a
pitchers battle. Summa was on sec
ond and Burns on first for the regulars
and Joe Sewell, hard hitting shortstop,
at the bat. Joey lined out drive that
appeared too high for Lind The little
infielder stabbed it with one hand,
stepped on second to retire Summa and
crossed the bag to take Burns, who was
dashing in.
The Yanningans fought hard all the
way and turned back their more ev-
perienced teammates, | to 0. Willie
Hudling and Joe shaute pitched for
the rockies, while Miller and Mcneil

ADAMS TOOK UP THE GAME or HOCKEY AS
a >1ouNeSTER. ~ NE2NONAT -

Although professional hockey had
flourished in Canada for 20 years, it
was an experiment in the United
States Pop found all the stars held
close by Canadian clubs, but he stuck
through the first year with whatever
material. he could get and made sue
cess of it.
In 1925 there were two more Ameri-
can clubs in the National Hockey
League, both with ready made squads.
New York interests bought the Hamil-
ton Tigers of Ontario and transfer
red them to Madison Square Garden
as the New York Americans. In Pitts
burgh the Yellowjackets of the for
mer amateur league hoped across
the imaginary line and blossomed out
as professionals. The player problem
was avoided.
Last year, however, the old problem
cropped up again when more cities
south of the international boundary
obtained franchises. Pop" stepped in
to solve it, The western Canada
League, the major organization of the
West, was wobbling under the pres
sure of Eastern salary competition.
"Pop'' agreed to pay 100000 for the
rights to the Western league play
ers and came out with whole pocket
full of stars. Chicago, Detroit and the
new New York Rangers opened their
careers with first-class teams and
weaker squads among the older clubs
We're reinforced.
Pop took chance, and now pro-
fessional hockey in this country has
six clubs in five cities. Canada retains
four major clubs and remains the
source of talent for the game. Other
cities here are seeking franchises.

Invariably drift to baseball as his

Hagen likes baseball as well az
golf, probably better. His one re-

on the links, is that he didn't go IN
