RESENT INsINUATION

~ ORNSBY may have said every
III word of it and then again in.
4 some mere statement of his
relative to the chances of the Cardi-
mails may have been exaggerated.
One cannot blame Hornsby for be-
lieving the Giants will win the Ma
tional League pennant. It's
mighty fine ball club, managed by
none other than John McGraw, who
leads only winning teams.
The Cardinal players didn't object
so much to that part of the inter
view. 1t was the opinion expressed
that st. Louis would be lucky to nm
ish in the first division.
That statement caused a decided
reaction in feeling. From it the
players inferred that the passing OF
Horn shy meant the club had dropped
from the position of world champs
to a second division club.

Of my good friends among the play
ers informed me that Hornsby's ears

ter of the players as they later went
about their batting practice.

The players resent the insinuation

that they are a second division ag-

spurred them on more than such a
statement.
1t strikes me when the Giants

INDIANS TO GIVE VETERAN SH0RTST0P THOROUGH TRIA
Larry NKopf, ReinStated Out

BY Eddie Ash
Times Sports Editor

SANFORD, Fla, March 12.-With
the decision to give Larry Kopf. a
veteran shortstop formerly of Gin
cinnati and Boston Nationals,
trial, the stock of Bruno Betzers
Indians in spring training at San
ford showed a slight imitation. Korf
is a reinstated outlaw, who played
in Independent baseball in Ohio last
year to clear his record before ap-
pealing to Judge Lands Tor another
chance in organized leagues.
Several years ago kopf was
traded by Cincinnati to the Boston
Braves and while with the Beantown
team he listened to the lure of The
outlaw promoters and jumped. His
age is "a. The veteran lives near
Cincinnati and will leave for San
ford, Sunday.
The fact kopf pulled many wires
to gain reinstatement is some as
surance he figures he is still good
enough to travel in fast company,
but that remains to be seen. and it
wont take Manager Bethel long to
learn.

Worthy of Trial

Worthy of Trial
Larry's experience makes him
worthy of a thorough trial, at any
rate, and he may come through. The
wire notifying Kopf to report to the
Indians was sent late Friday AND he
replied he would be here by Tues
day at the latest.
Pitcher Louis koupaly and Ralph
Miller. utility infielder. were Friday
arrivals in the Tribe training camp.
Miller reached Sanford in time to
participate in the Friday practice,
but Koupal did not show until eve
ming. Outfielder Matthews and
Pitcher Schupp are the only absent
Hoosier FASTENERS now.

Indian officials are keeping busy
trying to arrange deal for Eddie
Sticking and the search for another
right-handed hitting outfielder has
not ended. And one more southpaw
pitcher Is needed. There Is plenty
Of time left, though, before the AS

have attractive trading material
that other clubs are sure 10 want.
Manager Bethel divided the squad
Friday and staged a seven-ipning
game. Bethel captained one crew
and Sticking the other and Brunos
boys won, three to nothing.
The victors. playing as the "home"
team, pushed thIee runs over in the
last of the sixth. There were six
outs" to an inning, but base run
ners. If any, were ruled off the
paths after each third out" Under
this system time was saved and
the pitchers were given longer

Betzels club and Ambrose and
Swetonic toiled for the Sticking out
fit. Hitting was light on both
sides.

was the victim of the sixth inning
