HOLD0UTS YIELDING

Colbert, Cards, and Herman, Reds,

BY the Associated Press

- velopments today indicated that

stop, may be back in Cardinal uni

M Why the Cleveland In
/ Y dianS lost some 20 games
last year through errors is
a question that is receiving the
close attention of Roger Peckin-
paugh al the training camp down
here.
Stop these errors and he be-
HeveS the Indians will be sitting
up closer to the pennant at the
close OF the season.
He has not found any specific cause
for the errors.
They were just errors, that's ALL"
he says.
To plug these errors he is tighten
ing the lines all around. He Is stress
ing the physical condition, correction
Of faults and team play.
Fielding has come in for steady
drilling, too, as he has discovered 3.
weakness there, but he Is pleased with
his squads performance at the bat.
Expects Better Team Play.
In fact, he expects his young, hardy
team to hit their way up the ladder
this season. For years the Indians
have been q hard-hitting lot, and
since they will be in better tune on
team play, better team Is expected
to emerge from camp.
The Indians are different from most
majors this year. There aren't any
rockies in camp, Peckinpaugh being
content to build on the same founda-
ton the Indians have held virtually
intact for three years. He feels that
polished 1881 Indian will be his best
bet. He has shifted his players around
and has tried this one and that one
at various positions, but the complex
ion Will be about the same.
Names First-hne Squad.
Asked for a preseason lineup Of
his frst-line squad, Peckinpaugh
marked these down:
First base, ConnaSter, Morgan; sec
ond base, Burnett, Hodapp; third base,
Kamm; shortstop, Montague; catchers,
Myatt, Pytlak, Sewell; outfielders,
Averill, Jameson, Porter, Seeds, Vos-
mix; pitchers, Brown, Connally, Fer
rell, Harder, Hudlin, Jablonowsk, Law
SON.
That squad represents power and
youth, hard hitters and strong pitchers
with only couple of infielders needed
to oil the machine. But Peck sees only
little more chance of finding this
oil than he does of seeing a real
gusher break through the diamond at
Heinemann Park, particularly a short
stop.

R0ebuck Isn't Clicking.

1T would seem Tiny Roebuck
Il is about washed up for local
mat presentations in Wash
lngton, for the time being at
least.
The Indian appears unable
to take advantage of his great
est asset, size, and although
a greatly improved performer
over what he was when he
made his bow here a couple of
years ago, still lacks the finish
to make him click.
Roebuck's comparative mex
perience was demonstrated in
his match here with Ed Lewis,
when he was tricked into de-
feat by the Strangers canny
old head; it was proved Just a
few nights back, when Jack
WaShburn took him, that he
has much to learn about rough
Ing it up, and last night the
usually mild and courteous
Ptnetzki, adopting Tiny's own
tactics, pinned him for the
third time.
Roebuck may forge to the
front in the rasslin' racket at
some time in the future, but he
isn't ready yet.

r UNLESS chilly weather and

encountered far more
than they usually do, again
step into the picture, their
practice game today at Biloxi
with the Baltimore Orioles will
pove the most important of the
exhibition season for one mem
ber of the troupe.
Joe Judge, who is supposed to
be battling with Joe Kuhel for
the f1rst-base job, but who ap-
parently entered the competi-
ton with two strikes called on
him by the management, final
ly is to get a chance to play.
The veteran, who regularly
held down the initial station
from 1916 until last season,
when appendicitis put him on
the shelf, has demonstrated in
the training sessions that he is
in fine condition, but having
been compelled to decorate the
bench in the first games it ap-
peared he was to be given no
chance to prove 1t in competi-
ton.
Judges opportunity comes
today and his legion of friends
in the Capital, while wishing
no hard luck to the youngSter,
Kuhel, will be pulling for the
old timer to crash through in a

along the same lines.
Players say little, and visiting ex-

Judge last year aided in Scuttling the
Griffs' hopes of taking the flag, while
others contend that Kuhel will reach
