Manager Bethel said the mound
staff was due to receive the bulk Of
his attention this week.
Attention ON Hurlers
Only few of the fingers have
progressed in a way that meets his
approval and he thinks it about time
to give more attention to that de-
partment.
The team lost to the Boston Red
Sox, Sunday, II to 10, after making
glorious effort to overhaul the big
leaguers in which a large crowd of
fans saw an interesting attack
launched.
Rabbit Warstler, shortstop, was
the Tribe batting hero with a home
run and triple, both drives being dis
stance Wallops that went beyond the
outflelderS. He also hit sacrifice
fly and drew two walks, giving him
a perfect day at the ~late.
Wild Goes Big
Wild Matthews was another promi-
nent figure in the Indians lineup
and his performance gladdened the
hearts of mates and followers. 1t
was his first appearance of the year
in regular action and he came
through with flying colors by COL
Letting two singles, a double and
one walk
Matty was in his old position at
the top of the batting order and
he got under way by polling a single
his first time up. And he had three
putouts, one being a running catch
in left center.
The dandy fly chaser did not at
tach his name to a contract until
Sunday morning and when this hap
pened Manager Bethel Immediately
put him to work in his regular po-
sition. The lad loves his base hits
and he was in high spirits over the
fine start he made on a new cam
paign.
To Come Back
Another weekend of interest was
the announcement by the Sarasota
baseball committee That Indianapo-
lis was welcome to return here in
1880 for spring training and Sec
rotary Clauer stated the invitation
would be accepted.
The advantages of recreation here
abouts supplied by swimming, fish
ing and golf1ng hardly can be sur
passed by other class Double AZ
training camps.
Ferd Schupp pitched five innings
Sunday and struck out eight Red
Sox, but he was wild and the visit
ors madG it hot for him in the first,
third ard fourth innings.
SouthpaW Teachout operated the
last four innings and would have
escaped with only one run against
him but for a wild throw by Warst-
Ter in the ninth. Teachout al
lowed only two hits and famed
two.
Some of the Tribe heavy ar
tillery was silenced with Connolly,
KOenecke and Monahan going
hitless. Barnhart blew himself to
three hits.
REB RUSSELL BATTED FOR SCHUPP
IN THE FIFTH AND BANKED OUT
DOUBLE THAT SCORED TWO MATES.
Barrett, Boston third sacker,
robbed Connolly of a hit in the
second by leaping high to spear his
drive with one hand.
German and Metz shared third
base, the former walking twice
and the latter three times.
SCHUPP PICKED UP A BUNT IN THE
THIRD AND MADE A WILD THROW
THAT PERMITTED TWO RUNS TO
SCORE.
WarstIer's home run of Sunday
was his fourth of the spring. His
consistent heavy hitting has ex-
cited everybody. :.
Il y
Outfelder O'Boyle of the Boston
team is a former Notre Dame half
hack. He swings left handed and
Schupp famed him three times.
