Bethel Confers With Former
Manager BuSh-TWo Red
SOx Dates.
Ry Eddie Ash

Bruno Bethel, new manager of the
Indians. visited Washington Park
today and talked "stove league" with
Ownie Bush, whom he succeeds as
Tribe pilot. Vice President Smith
Jr., and Secretary Clauer also were
present.
Bethel asked Bush for pointers on
the many players who performed on
the 1926 Tribe outfit and Bush un-
corked plenty of advice. Bethel has
been in the A. a. many years and
doesn't need additional facts on
what it takes to put club in the
race in the Hickey loop.
Bush, who is the new manager of
the Pirates. gave Bethel an outline
of the strength and weaknesses Of
the entire Tribe roster held over
from last year.
To "City Substantial"
Bethel said the Indian squad prob
ably would leave for spring training
the first Saturday in March. The
Hoosiers will train at Sanford, Fla
which calls itself the City Sub
stantial." and Bruno hopes to have
substantial pastiming crew when
he returns North for the 1927 pen
nant race.
1t was announced at the park to-
DAY that the Boston Red SOX,
piloted By the famous Bill Car
rigan, had been added to the Tribe
exhibition schedule and would be
played here April and 6.
Vice President Smith is still work
ing on the exhibition program and
will go to Cincinnati Wednesday to
confer with Jack Hendricks about
more games with the Reds.
Thirteen Contests Booked
Smith already has contracted for
thirteen spring games and the sched-
ule is the kind that will give. the
Indians plenty of stiff opposition. The
team will work it's way North by
playing at Birmingham and Chata-
nooga. The Red SoX and Cincy Reds
will be the big league clubs to be
met in Indianapolis. and Rochester
of the international League also will
be played here.
Manager Bethel said the Tribe club
officials are doing their best to land a
capable shortstop. He figures a
smart short fielder will just about
make" the Indians. The Tribe
spring exhibition schedule follows:

This weeks issue Of the big Ten
Weekly" contains an interesting
dope story in regard to the Big Ten
basketball race which got under way
last night. Albon Holden, the au-
thor of the article in question, says,
UNLESS Indiana makes a runaway
of it, the 1927 Big Ten basketball
scrap should be one of the hottest in
history. The other nine teams appear
to be so evenly matched on the basis
of their preliminary games that one
guess seems to be as good as another
as to which team should be the logi-
cal rival Of the HOLSTERS.
Right now Indiana stands out as
the team that must be beaten If the
race is to be one Of those free-fOr-all
scrambles that has so often resulted
in recent seasons. 1t isn't likely that
there is a varsity team i'm the country
that has a pair of forwards as good
as Captain Kruger and Beckner of
Indiana, and Correll, Sibley, Winston
and Derr are all high-class men.
LAS usual, Indiana's offense will
probably be higher than it's defense,
and therein lies one Of the reasons
why it isn't safe to award Coach
Deans bunch any gold basketballs
early in January
We believe that Indiana stands
head and shoulders above every
other team in the Western Con-
ference circuit. Any team that
has a pair of forwards who can sink
goals as fast as you can say Jack
Robinson" doesn't need any defense
to speak of. Score the points-that
is the main idea! Let the other team
do the worrying about defense! Indi
ana has control of the tip at least
so per cent as long as Big Jack Win
ston is in the game.
The tip counts! 1t means that
90 44-100 per cent of the time an In
diana man has the ball and the op-
posing team is on the defense. Which
in other words, means to watch the
team that has the ball. There will
