Defeat at Hands of
CinCy Reds.
LOVE PITCHES WELL

Hard, However.

CARASOTA, Fla, March a.
~ Crestfallen over their defeat
Wednesday by the Cincinnati Reds,
10 to 4, the Indians resumed regular
spring training practice today and
Manager Bethel announced before
the session started he would begin
bearing down on the pitchers and
ask more work out of certain MEM
bers of the Tribe staff.
The best he could say regarding
the effectiveness of the three fling
ers he used Wednesday was that
Ruel Love, a new throWer, made
an excellent showing and that By
ron Specie and Danny Boone evil
IDENTIFY were in need of additional
spring training.
Specie, the starting hurler, was
easy for the Reds the first two in
nings; Love, who operated next,
BANKED the major leaguers and al
lowed only one hit the three innings
he performed and Boone, the last
moundsman used, pitched two good
stanzas and then went to pieces in
the ninth as the Cincy athletes
solved him for six runs all in a
cluster. 1t was a good ball game
until that happened.
The day wasn't total loss, how
ever, because the A. A. champions
collected thirteen hits, the same as
Cincinnati, and threatened to jump
out in front right up until the Reds
staged their ninth inning barrage.
In fact, the Tribe hitters from the
beginning had bad luck with their
drives but kept trying and pushed
over two runs in the final round
before they were erased definitely

Pete Monahan. first sacker, led
the Indiana pack with the blud-
geon by getting three singles,
and in the fifth, with two mates
ON base, his drive fell only yard
short of clearing the right center
field fence and fell into the glove
of the Cincy fly chaser stationed
in that territory.

LEN KoENECKE WAS ERRAT1C Z ON
GROUND BALLS IN CENTER FIELD.
THERE'S TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY
CONNECTED WITH THAT POSITION FOR
A ROOKIE. HE GOT RATIFIED WEDNES-
DAY WHEN RUNNERS WERE ON THE
PATHS.
Bud Connolly's two hits were
solid swipes to left. In the field he
had much to occupy him.,
Reb Russell cut himself in for
two safe drives. Warstler met the
ball with a good punch, but got
only one safe.
CHUCK GoRMAN PoLED ONE HIT.
DREW ONE WALK AND PLEASED
EVERYBODY BY HIS DEFENSE OF
THIRD BASE.
In the three innings he chucked
the agate" Ruel Love gave up
only one hit and one walk. He for
merly pitched for Dallas and came
to the Indians from the Quincy ros-
ter.
The famous Cincinnati double
play combination is oiled up early
this year. Critz to Ford to Kelly

times Wednesday.
