Tribe Sells
Ed Onslow
to Orioles
First Stacker Goes Back to
International; Indians
Battle Brewers.
BY EDDIE ASH

First Baseman Ed Onslaw, pre-
tender" to Walter Holkes job with
the Indians, today was sold to the
Baltimore club of the International
League, Secretary Clauer an
nounced.
Onslow, last year with the Roches-
ter Internationals, was purchased
after the Tribe returned from the
South, when Holke was in a bad
slump, but Since the A. A. season
opened Holke picked up in batting
and Onslow never started a game.
Onslow worked hard to get in
shape, but he was slow rounding
into condition, and it was the
opinion of Manager Bethel that he
would be no improvement over
Holke now that the veteran has
been getting his share of base hits.
After spending an idle weekend,
the Indians were to renew activities
at Washington Park this afternoon
in a contest with the Milwaukee
Brewers wko spent Sunday here
strolling about their hotel lobby.
The HOLSTERS treat 'em all alike
they have pOstpOnements with
everybody. Already five games
have been called off by rain or
cold weather and moved back into
the schedule to reappear again in
double headers later in the season.
In the first series of the season.
one date with the Millers was post
poned, in the second series two
tits with the Saints were prevented
by bad weather, in the third series
one contest was postponed with the
Blues, and in the fourth series one
Indian-BreWer fray already has
been marked up for a later date.
The Tribesmen were knocked out
of their game with the Blues Sat-
urday by wet grounds, and on Sun
day the series opener with Mil
waukee went the same route.
Today was "ladies' day. at the
Tribe park and weather indica-
tiOns this morning were of the
best. Roy Sanders was expected to
pitch for Milwaukee. Manager
Bethel was in doubt about his
mound choice owing to the fact
some of his hurIerS have aiIing
arms.
The Brewers will be here through
Wednesday and then all A. A. clubs
will journey west to stage openers
in Minneapolis, st. Paul, Milwaukee
and Kansas City. Thursday of this
week is an off-day in the A. A.
schedule, to allow the eight clubs
to make the long jumps. The
western openers occur Friday. In
dianapolis will be at Minneapolis.
Only two battles we're staged in
the league Sunday, Toledo beating
the Saints. 3 to 2, and Columbus
mauling Minneapolis, 8 to 4.
PaImero, Cuban southpaw,
hurled for the Hens and allowed
the Saints only five hits. To-
Ied0 benched Grimes, star first
sacl1er Of last season, and Smith,
used in his place, delivered with
timely hits.
The ETillers collected twelve hits
at Columbus, but the Senators got
fourteen and won. Harris poled
four bingles for the losers, includ-
ing a home run and double.
The performance Of Memo Lei
bold's Columbus outfit has been the
feature Of the leagues early games,
and there is strong likelihood Of
that team escaping the cellar this
season.
Louisville has unloaded another
outhelder, Sy Rosenthal being sold
to Chattanooga of the Southern As
ISOLATION. Injuries and sickness
handicapped Rosenthal last season.
Louisville paid $500 for the player
when they obtained him from the
Boston Red Sox just previous to the
1927 campaign.
Pitcher Paul Mccullough Of To-
IedO has been transferred to
Minneapolis in the deal that
moved Johnny Rawlings from
MiIIers to Hens.
