SARASOTA. Fla, March 29.-Ihe
Indians third big test of spring
training was to open at Braden-
town today when Bill CarrlganS
Boston Red Sox were to be met Tor
the third time and following the
tilt this afternoon there will be a
struggle with Buffalo at Palmetto
saturday and with the BisonS again
Sunday at Sarasota.
Twice before during the current
4 warming up routine, the IrlpeSmeh
+ mixed in three games in three days,
but more importance is attached
to the contests impending owing TO
the fact the Betzelites are at the
near peak Of physical condition.
Moreover, Manager Bethel is
ready to call out what he believes
are going to be his dependable
hurlers and put them through heavy
assignments. Specie was slated TO
fling against Boston today and stay
on the mound the full distance If
his arm held out.
Using the Regulars
And on Saturday against Buffalo,
Bill Blu veil will be asked to do
likewise. Penner or Teachout will
be trotted out Sunday for the heavy
mound task.
A burning desire to win all three
encounters was noticeable around
camp this morning, because to date
the Indians exhibition record has
offered little to brag about in the
way of victories, and it won't be
long until the Tribe squad heads |
north. Credit must be given, how |
ever, for the teams fighting quail"
ties in giving opponents a hard, |
lie run, several games being lost
narrow margins.
Good and Bad
here have been only two tits
slich the American Association |
A,ions failed to lambast the |
sehide with power and ylgor,
ch too the delight of the club
ses. Pitching has been good at
es and bad on other occasions, |
it must be understood 1T has
In necessary frequently to leave
hurler take a humping in order
get a real line on his ability and |
aging qualities under fire.
Pitcher Jack Tucker is certain
to he the first victim of the spring
axe. He has tried hard enough
nd is popular in camp, but has
de6 completely after making a
ight start. He Is Florida
4-6,kie. Pitcher Daniels, another
Florida rookie, is likely to be the
econd cutoff, though there IS still
chance he'll be taken north and
saced with a class "B' team.

What concerns everybody now is
how the new third baseman is go
ing to be when the Pirates deliver
him and also the pitcher or pitchers

apoliS.

The pitching staff got the heaVy !

ing light about the exercise de-
nanded of the hurlers.

A few days ago the Indians
were led to believe they again
would train in Sarasota in 1880,
but talk was heard today that in
Dictated they probably will have to
seek another camp. 1t is said
big league club is angling to OBJ
tain training rights here, and
major teams usually win when
bidding for a training camp
against double A club"
