Rags to Riches
IN the fistic game, one punch is
often the medium of trans
forming a fighter from diet OF
pork and beans to sirloin steak
with all the trimmings. 80
One punch is often the differ.
ence from being just a, ''ham" to
the rating of a title contender. If
in doubt, page Billy Wallace or

Within the past two months
these two boys have sprung from

The case of Eddie Roberts is
more unusual than that of Billy
Wallace, hence we will consider

Sanford Is Ideal PIace-Ac-
commodations, Ball
Park Great.

By Eddie Ash
Times Sports Editor

SANFORD, Fla, March 8.-With
the initial spring practice out Of the
way, curtailed session Monday, the
Indians settled down today to some
real work. Overnight the Hoosier
FASTENERS decided Sanford is salts
factory spot and Manager Bethel Is
of the opinion he could not ask for
better accommodations and a better
ball park.
Municipal Park is plot of ground
of eight acres and there is plenty OF
room for the outfielders to roam and
for the infielders to chase fouls.
Georgia sand clay was imported to
improve the infield and the diamond
is so smooth that Bruna Bethel will be
able to get quick line on the ability
of his rockies to pick up the hot
ones. The clubhouse has all the
facilities of a regular league dress
ing room.
Hotel Is Knockout"
The Hotel Forrest Lake, Tribe
headquarters, is a spacious structure
with a wide veranda, richly fur
nished lobby and large ball room.
And as far as the dining room and
service, none could be better if the
meals already served are a sample
Of the regular output. Fact Of the
matter it is puzzle how the major
league teams have overlooked San
ford for a training camp.
Hotel Forrest Lake is located on
Lake Monroe, where motor boats fit
and regattas are held. Fishing is
reported excellent there. The golf
course, eighteen holes, is about
eight miles out. So far, so good, for
the Indianapolis ball tossers in San
ford.
Weather was superb Monday, but
the Tribe practice session was cut
in half in order to give the athletes
a chance to recuperate from the
effects of their long journey from
the North and time to arrange their
luggage and rooms for the stay
here until March 80.
Holke and Russell practiced at
first base, Bethel at secondA Sticking
at second and short, Voter and Hun
ter at third, Comello and Warstler
at short and Kugelman at the plate.
Jack Wisner pitched in batting prac-
tice. Danny Boone and the vegy few
others in camp romped in the out
field.
Catcher Snyder Reports
Catcher Bob Snyder reported Mon
day too late to join his new mates at
the ball park. He came in from
California and had been riding the
rails since Thursday.
Wisner is sporting a California tan
and looks in shape to cut loose with
some real stuff at once.
In the meantime Manager Bethel is
anxiously watching incoming trains,
