Walker Is big Gum
Training camp interest this week
will center on the performances of
Bonura, Montague, Andrus, Fitz-
gerald and Walker. The last named
of course, is rated the big gun of
the entire works, and camp observ-
ers are promised a treat when the
former Redleg begins combing the
sphere. Many Cincinnati tourists
have made it a point to visit the
Indians Sarasota camp and deplore
the release of Walker to the
minors.
Bonura PIeases Johnny
Bonura took some batting drills
Saturday and pleased Manager
Corriden. The new first baseman
is built along the lines of Lou Geh-
rig of the Yankees, and is only %
years old. He is a six-footer and
weighs 205, and his underpinning
resembles piano legs. Furthermore,
the New Orleans Italian says he
needs only five pounds reduction in
weight.
He has the size to become a muir
derous swatter, but is not likely to
be a master craftsman in the field.
He is a righthanded batter.
Straight pitching during batting
practice will rule again today and
Tuesday, but on Wednesday it is
Manager Corriden's plan to order
several hurlerS to try an occasional
curve. The old style ball is all

thing slowed up the shipment of
the new style spheres and none are
on hand in the Hoosier camp.

A feature of the national meet this year,
is the new red two-inch band. painted
to the most beautiful effect the big show
with black A. B. c. letters completing the

Another feature is the new safety re-
turn. The old loop system has been dis
carded, the ball returning direct to the
bowler. meeting patented loop as 1t
reaches the foul line, and coming to a
stop until it is tilted to the bowler. This
method eliminates all possibility of crushed
fingers that have 'marred past tournaments.
One thing that held the local boys
scores down more than any other condi-
ton was the scrubbed .runways. Local
alleys use steel wool to keep the runway
in shape which permits a. slide. At Buffa-
10. they are scrubbing tkem with water.
and the bowler who slides to the foul line
is place under q blE handicap.
For the benefit Of local teams still to

to be sure and use the Buffalo Eagle guest
cards thew received. as this organization
certainly Is treating the visitors royalty.

FETCHED RIDE IN AIRPLANE AND
 SAVED HIS LIFE

San Diego, Cal, July 2-UP) - The Carefree Company of those who stand by the side of the road and waggle their thumbs toward the horizon has a new recruit today in J. C. Penny who stood in the middle of the field, waved his arms at an airplane pilot overhead, and hitch ed" ride to the hospital.
 Penny lives alone 75 miles from San Diego in the mountains and has been a sufferer from chronic appendicitis. Usually he is able to reach a doctor without difficulty. Yesterday he was seized with an acute attack. He doubled up with pain. helpless to drive the rough roads to the city.
 About this time, Fred Stoves was flying his airplane around in a trial spin. AS he flew low over Penny's ranch, he was startled to see man waving wildly. He waved back, but the ground dweller's gyrations only became more furious. Stevens landed in a meadow, learned the situation, and took Penny abroad.
 The rancher was on the table of an operating room in the San Diego hospital less than an hour later. Physicians said the success of Penny's pioneering in airplane hitch hiking undoubtedly save his life.
