ing he would be a nine-inning
pitcher at the outset of the regular
season. The Texan is ambitious
to pitch his way back to the majors.
The Indians, as a squad, entered
their eighth day of spring training
today, and they will be given a
holiday Sunday. Fine weather and
double practice have combined to
put the early birds on edge, and
next week will see more pressure
exerted as the late reporters loosen
up their muscles. Outfielder Curt
Walker wired he was delayed at
New Orleans by the illness of his
wife.
The Tribe holdout list has been
reduced to Sc ,en, consisting of
pitchers Burwell, Cooney, w. Miller
and Heving; inf1elders Voter and
Kroner and outfielder Rosenberg.
Voter and Rosenberg are late
additions to the disgruntled group,
both having been due in Sarasota
by Friday. However, the weekend
may find some of the boys chang
ing their minds as they hear of the
growing competition for positions.

CARASOTA, Fla, March 5.-The

rookie in camp who hitch liked
from near Logansport, Ind, to ask
for a tryout.
He is Arthur Lamberson and he
is fired with ambition to become an

Manager Emmett Mccain will
give him a uniform today as a re-

Wingard in Double Role
Ernie Wingard, the lanky slug
ger purchased from Toledo, opened
the eyes of Tribe officials Friday
He signed at once and went out
and worked out at both first base
and on the mound, in addition to
spending part of the day with the
regular hitters. Ernie resides in
Alabama and evidently got himself
in shape before leaving home. He
was curving the sphere his first
day on the field
Wingard has been assigned to
double duty, pitching and pinch
hitting, leaving the first baSing to
Manager Mccain and Ed Lowell
until it is seen how Lowell pro-
crosses as a hitter The Idaho
youth is a phenom in the field and
his ability to snare bad throws is
a delight to the bleacherites.
John Berry, highlander obtained
from the Giants, joined the other
hurlers throwing to the batters
Friday, and his actions were i'm
pressive. The old experience plainly
was apparent and he brought more

one of the oldest and most Sue
cessful of the householder rack
cts is the "emuggled goods" sale.
The housewife is approached by
furtive man, perhaps having for
eign appearance. He whispers con-
identially that, because Of need tor
funds, he is forced to sell valuable
furs or other merchandise which
he has struggled into the country
without paying duty.
After much haggling. he agrees
to sell at price below the value Of
''high-priced furs."
Almost invariably, the buyer finds
he has paid twice as much as the
article would have cost in local
store. Many times costly Snug
gled furs" turn out to be merely
goat or dog skins.
Sell Irish Lace
There are many variations to this
racket. Sometimes it is worked By
women pretending to be disposing
of fine Irish linen or lace from an
aunt in Ireland" struggled into
the country without paying duty
which she must sell to buy food.
Statesmen often use a similar
racket to sell cheap articles, pre-
tending it is fine merchandise they
obtained at bargain prices from SD
overstocked merchant.
Very few real bargains are obtain
ed in this way.
The college magazine" racket is
one that has been worked profitably
here and elsewhere.
These glib, hatleSs young men,
selling magazine subscriptions to
earn enough money to go to col
lege," are highly trained speciality
statesmen.
Few Go to College
They speak of the hard struggle
they are making to earn an educa-
ton and how near the goal they are
sometimes just needing one more
subscription to win the coveted and
highly DESTROYS prize.
Few of these purported students
really have any intention of going
to college. Instead, the practice
merely is highly profitable racket,
which they work first in one town
then move with their crew manager
to another community.
A Better Business Bureau investi-
gator questioned one such salesman
who claimed to be a student at
Butler university. However, the
salesman pointed in the wrong di-
rection when asked where the uni
versity is located.
Finally he admitted he and his
co-workers had no intention of 60
ing to college.

Cheat on Magazines

In crew of eight young men pro-
Tossing to be earning money for col
lege, it was found not one intended
to become a student, and, of the
entire group, only the crew manager
had been graduated from high
school.
Many bogus magazine statesmen
offer combinations at attractive
prices and collect the money, but
forget to turn in the subscriptions.
Some publications use college men
during summer vacation, but these
statesmen carry credentials and
easily can be identified.
Complaints also have been re-
ceived from the housewives who
made down payments to fast-talk-
ing statesmen taking orders for
aluminium ware, Christmas cards,
suits and other articles which never
were delivered. BY the time the
victims learned Of the deception and
notified police, the statesmen safely
were out of the city. These cases
are exceptional, but should be
guarded against.
Some Are Legitimate
This series of stories is not in
tended to convey the impression
that all "doorbell ringers" are gyps
or frauds.
There are many legitimate sales
men, attempting to make an honest
living by selling wide variety Of
worthwhile articles, who engage in
houSe-to-houSe canvassing.
But their lot has been made diff
cult by the increasing number and
annoying flood of petty racketeers
and beggars.
A few precautions, if observed
would reduce greatly the heavy toll
indianapolis pays racketeers:
Contribute to recognized charities
where known proportion of con-
tributions actually goes to charity
Deal with dependable business
concerns that sell merchandise on
its merits.
Discourage beggars by referring
them to organized agencies that are
equipped best to provide permanent
relief and care.
If beggar says he has been re-
fused aid" obtain his name and ad-
dress and report the case to the
Family Welfare Society, where Re
tailed report on any case will be
furnished the person making the
report.
