The Cleveland Indians are on the
warpath. and their whoops should
be heard up around the top of the
hill when the 1890 season closes.
Chief Roger Peck:npaugh is
whipping a powerful squad into
shape at Heinemann park, while
they may not have enough power
70 fend off the Athletics and
Yankees they should be giving
somebody a tussle for the flying
banner when the season closes.
The Indians are fortunate In
having the backbone Of their team

young in years. In addition they
have a promising bunch Of huskies
itching TO step into the shoes OF
the regulars. Out Of the squad OF

There will not be any drastic
changes in this seasons lineup e

the twilight OF baseball. II will be
hard for him 10 hold his regular
post against such men as Bib Falk.
Earl Averiil and Dick Porter.
The Indians had the fright OF
their lives when 1t looked as II

SEGA off first base, but all Is
hunkidore now, for word has come
from California that Fonseca is up
and about, Is even taking light
training on the coast and will be
fit for the start Of the season.
The Indians would have been IN
a sad plight IL they had lost this
man. who led the American League
in batting hCnors last season and
snapped into it on first base as
naturally as a duck taking TO water.
They were drilling Henry Bonura
and Alex Hooks for the job. but
they showed nothing to make mer-

The shortstop battle Is creating
lots OF excitement with three lads.

Goldman competing for 1t. Lind Is

more than passing ability are
Clinton Brown. Milbern Shoffner,
Mel Harder. and Peter Jablonowski.
The main weapon possessed by
the Indians is their hitting power.

POULOS Wins
OVER DALKINS
Especial to The Herald.)

HARLINGEN. March l4-Geo.
Poulos still stands as the local mat
champion. following his victory over
Scotty Dalkins last night before a
fair sized crowd at the Fair Park
Auditorium.
Scotty was tight and wouldn't
give up. but Poulos finally pinned
him with two aeroplane slams after
beating himself out of the first fall.
Poulos had Dalkins pretty well
sewed up when he suddenly was
made aware of the fact that his
own shoulders were resting on the
mat. 1t took him only 71-2 min
utes TO comeback with an aeroplane
slam. The final fall came in the
same manner after Dalkins had been
made groggy with flying mares.
Joe Parriili made clever use or
the flying mare in defeating Pat
Reagan in TWO straight falls In the
semi-final. 1t took only rs minutes
all told.
Charlie Lehman and Tom Flem-
ing wrestled 20 minutes to a draw

BASKETBALL Is taking a strong
hold In Mexico. Fast teams are
springing up IN all parts Of the
country. The Fal quint made an ex-
tended tour Of the United States
and played G good brand OF ball.
The Falls defeated the Southeastern
Teachers college Of Durant. Okla,
and held the strong University OF
Kansas team to a 30-39 score. They
also gave Notre Dame a 1920 scare.
IN the opinion Of Coach Leoncio
Ochoa, the lest brand of basket
ball in the part Of the u. S. visited
by the Mexicans is played in Kan
sas. He was high in his praise Of
the hoopsters in the corn belt. The
new basketball rules abolishing the
tip-off was tried for the first time
in the Kansas-Mexico game. This
style Of play appealed to Coach
Ochoa. IN his opinion. the size OF
a teams center should not be the
handicap that IL Is under regular
rules.

PUBLIC HEARING
ON 6. II. MEASURE

The public hearing on the ShipStead-
Nolan bill before the House committee
opened Tuesday and is now in full
swing. Several from the Arrowhead
Country are in attendance, principally
among which are Hanford Cox of Clio
quet and Fred Vibert of Duluth who
are opposed to the measure as at pres
ent constituted sLut favor the main
provisions of the ill with amendments
relating to the use Of forest products
and the curtailment of the territory
embraced in the bill
Congressman Pittenger has intro
duced a substitute bill and Senator
ShipStead has stated in a letter to
Senator Norberg that he would favor
amendments and would embody them
in the measure. The Senator ex-
pressed it as his opinion that nothing
should be done in Congress regarding
the Minnesota Power & Light company
projects at Gabbro and Bald Eagle
lakes as this was purely a matter for
the courts and the State of Minnesota.
Wednesday the State Department
threw a bomb into the bill by stating
that the Congress of the United States
had no jurisdiction over the inter-
national boundary waters as the same
were in charge of the International
Joint Commission by treaty.

ELY DELPH|ANS
At ROTARY

Two members of the Ely Delphians
were guests at the Wednesday meeting
of the Rotary Club at the Community
Center. The visitors were the speakers
of the evening. Mrs VIM Jones made
an address on the new calendar
changes in prospect and in her history
of calendar making in the past brought
out many interesting and educational
points. She made the statement, borne
out by facts, that the present calendar
was not adopted by five or more
countries until after the World War.
Mrs A j. McMahan spoke on Law
Enforcement and the suppression of
crime. Her address was resume of
what had been accomplished and what
could be accomplished under proper
enforcement measures. She dwelt at
some length on the criminal tendencies
developed through the non-enforce-
ment and lethacgy of those charged
with the enforcement and spoke on
the ease by which criminals escaped
through the efforts of INSCRIPTIONS at
torneys, citing statements made by en-
inent jurists in support of her claims.
Both ladies made excellent talks and
scored many hits in their addresses.
The Rotarians were more than pleased.
The ladies of the M. E. church served
the dinner.

events of the meet with the greatest
exhibition of diving ever seen in this
section. The University team swan in

his followers. Nappa was an exceed
Ningly clever diver under the tutelage
of Coach HerSeth, winning the state
championship three years ago with the
highest number of points any high
school diver has ever attained in this
state.
Under the -tutelage of Coach Neils
Thorpe OF Minnesota, Nappa has ire
mendouSly improved so that he is con-
siderd by his coach to be one of the
foremost divers in the Big Ten, and
one OF the leading ones of the country.
In presenting his dives, Nappa gave
two OF the hardest dives ever at
tempted by first class diver, the for
ward double somersault and the back
spring forward one and one-half SOM
ersault. Both of these dives Nappa
executed with uncanny brilliancy
coming into the water on both of them
as straight as possible.

ginia High School boys swimming
team, who is one of the foremost
coaches in the country, and is espec-
tally adept at instructing divers said
to some of his men during the meet,
