White Sox Here Three Days; Indians WalZop Reds

Thursday. The Sox trained at
Shreveport, down where a certain
radio announcer has been trying to
start another Civil War over radio
wave lengths.
But getting back to baseball, the
Indians kicked over the Cincy Reds
Thursday, II to l, thereby annexing
the spring series with the Hendricks
Herd, three games to one. The Tribe
grabbed two from the Reds in
Florida and one in two here, all of
which caused the Bethel FASTENERS
to swell with pride.
A flying Indian start in the first
inning, when they scored three
runs, and five more markers in the
third, took the breath of the Reds

Tribe Gets II Hits
It made little difference to the
Indians-tho pitching changes,
for they slashed their way along
and collected seventeen hits to six
for the Reds.
Emil Yde hurled the first six
rounds for Indianapolis and allowed
only four hits and held the enemy
scoreless. Swetonic twirled the last
three stanzas and one of the two
hits off him was a line drive home
run by Allen in the ninth that
saved the Hendricks aggregation
from being shut out.

Indians Buy O11sI070, First BaSen1ar
With HoIke in Slump,
Owner Perry Makes Pur-
chase for Protection.
BATTED .311 IN 1927
FieIded 1896; Deal Is Made
Through Cardinals.
BY EDDIE ASH

Feeling it would be a wise
policy to protect his club at
first base in the event Walter
IIolke fails to emerge from his
spring batting slump, Owner
Jim Perry of the Indians today
completed a deal through the
St. Louis Cardinals for the
purchase of Ed OnSloW, initial
sack guardian for the Roches-
ter InternationalS last season.
Like Holke, the big fellow from
the eastern Glass AA circuit is a
veteran, his age being "a, but the
Tribe bosses decided to gamble with
him under the circumstances of
necessity. Holke finished poorly last
year and his batting during spring
training has been far below his
usual early form.
1t was the fear that the popular
Walter would not improve that
moved President Perry to angle for
Onslow and create some competi-
ton for the first base job.
Onslow was ordered to join Birm-
ingham in the Southern Association
this spring, but baked at the trans
fer South and filed request to be
placed with an American ASSoci-
alton team. He did not take spring
training, but he notified Secretary
Clauer of the Indians today that
he has been taking light exercise at
his home in Scio, Ohio, and that
he figured it would not take him
long to reach playing condition.
The new Indians first sacker bat
ted .311 in 1927 and turned in a
fielding mark of 1896 He is a
brother of Jack Onslow, st. Louis
Cardinal coach, and bats and throws
left-handed.
The purchase of Onslow does not
mean he will be given Holke's posi-
ton without a struggle, for Walter
has good qualities and doubtless will
offer stiff resistance in the battle
to retain his position.
The Cards obtained right to Ons-
lows services when they purchased
the Rochester franchise and trans
ferred the Syracuse team there.
Hurst, star young first baseman,
owned by the Cards, took Onslow'S
place and it was then efforts were
made to send him to Birmingham.
Onslows 1927 batting record:
Games, %; TT bat. 1854; runs, 80; hits,
6; no home runs; sacrifice hits III stolen
bases. II; base on balls, 80; runs batted
in, 81; struck out, 10; per centage, 81.

hits to lead the local pack and
Mueller cut in with three sGieties.
Pitcher Yde helped pile up the
Tribe hit and run total by slam
ming triple and single. Some
more stunts like that and Mr.. y de
will get a bomb under his porch Tor
breaking the laws Of the Pitchers
Union, most members of which are
automatic outs" at the plate.
The work of Haney and Yde
Thursday drew bouquets from the
Cincinnati newspaper men who have
followed the Reds all through
spring training. The Hendricks
squad left for home Immediately
after the contest here and the
scribes were singing the blues. It's
tough to write a losing yarn as a
finale on the road.
1t was the biggest score amassed
against the Reds during their eX-
hibit,on schedule. They play the
Cleveland Americans in Cincinnati
Saturday and Sunday.
The Indians have won SIX games
in their last seven starts. They
downed Cincinnati three in four,
whipped the st. Louis Cardinals
once and the Reading Inter
nationals twice. Five of the seven
contests were annexed before the
HoosierS pulled out of Florida.
Fred Haney was put out OF bust
ness temporarily Thursday in the
eighth inning after seeking ms
fourth bingle. He injured his back
sliding an dwas relieved by Bud
Connolly.

The Yanks with Ruth, Gehrig
Pennock ct al. weren't expected tt
lose so much as an inning, except
perhaps in an odd moment of eX-
ceSsive merit. Yet they have haC
more trouble winning from non
descript class G outfits than the
glittering Jimmy Walker has escap-
ing the news reels.
This contrast in early spring
form can mean little or much.
Underlying the successes Of the
Giants and the failures of the
Yanks may be certain factors I'M
discernible to the weary experts
which hold the answer to a shock
ing upset.
THE Yarlks are a peculiar ball
Il club-a ball club largely in
dividualistic. You don't figure them
on form, you figure them on moods.
In the space of one year they
jumped from seventh place to
championship distinction. Only a
ball club given to artistic impulses
and spiritual urges could have done
that-something that no other ball
club in history had ever done.
The NIcGraw personality is assert
ing itself in the brisk play of the
Giants this spring. BY the same
token the placidity of the Higgins
temperament is to be seen in the
equally unbrisk play of the Yanks.
A driver by nature, McGraw wants
to win all the time. A victory
against the MilIsaps College team
may mean nothing to anyone else,
but it's a victory to McGraw. He
never wants to be on the losing END
Of anything. Watch him in a penny
ante poker game. You'd think he
had the Rockefeller oil leases at
stake.
Il Il
Higgins is more restrained. He
likes to win but defeats don't
bother him. Not even in the heat
of a pennant drive. His attitude
is that tomorrow is another day.
