Camp; Washington Puts
Three Over Fence.

BIZ Times Special
EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 26.-
Everything was lovely in the spring
training camp of the indianapolis
ball club here yesterday. but today
was a different story. 1t was pour
ing rain this morning and Manager
Red Killefer expressed the opinion
that there would be little work for
his athletes.
The Tribe chief was ready to put
the boys through some sort of PAGES
if the rain stopped by noon, but
there was no chance to get on Bose
field. 1t was drenched and will take
some time to dry out.
Three Over Fence
Vernon George Washington, the
stalwart outfelder from the Texas
League, sent three drives soaring
over the fence yesterday and the
balls were well hit. Few drives went
over the spots he picked during the
many years the Three-I League
teams performed in Evansville.
Washington said it was the first
time he had batted since last Sep
TENDER and he was highly pleased
with his eye and swing. Vernon's
blows averaged from $50 to $50 feet.
1t was his first cay in camp.
Fred Bedore. regular third
sacker last year, reached camp
yesterday and four more rockies ar
rived from Indianapolis. They are
Joe Dugan and Gene Loepper, in
f1elders, and Ben Lady and George
Quackenbush, outfielders. The
Sunday drill lasted about three
hours.
Practice Games Billed
Weather permitting, daily practice
games will start on Wednesday and
the training pace will be increased
A few of the regulars still are alb
sent, including Johnny Cooney
outf1elder; Dudley Lee, shortstop;
Ernie Wingard. first base, and Jim
Turner, pitcher.
Lee is en- route from California
and Turner is working out in the
southland. 1t is said Manager Kill
lefer plans to start Vincent Sher-
lock at second base and try out
Frank Sigafoos at third. If this
doesn't work, Sigafoos probably will
be tried in the outfield.
Killefer thinks all players will be
on hand by the middle of the week
He has a bunch that the few I'M
signed members are staying away
until better weather arrives in
Evansville The athletes who win
tered in the warm south hesitate
about coming north until the cold
and rainy weather passes away.

BAER WILL WIN,
MAN WHO FOUGHT
DEMPSEY CERTAIN

Because Max Baer is throw-back
to the days Of natural-born fighters,
he will decisively defeat big Primo
Camera for the heavyweight champ
ionship of the world in their coming
match.
Such is the assertion of Jack Nor
an, heavyweight topnotcher OF few
years ago who came through Red
wood Falls Tuesday, travelling for the
Eisele Clinic company.
Moran counts on Baer because of
his natural fighting ability, notwith-
standing his play-boy affiliations.
81 look for Baer to give the italian
a decisive trimming in their clash
and knockout would not surprise
me-"
Not forgetting a few years ago
when a youngster named Jack Demp-
sey foored him for the count in their
bout at Reno, Nevada, Moran has all
the respect in the world for the Man.
ASA Mauler.
Besides Dempsey, Moran fought
Fred Fulton three times, Billy Miske,
Bob Morton, Battling Levinsky, (not
the King Levinsky who ran out on
Art Lasky in Los Angeles) and Gun
boat Smith.
Although Dempsey gave him ter
rible trimming in their Reno match,
Moran did not quit the ring as he an
nounced he would after the fight.
Dempsey fioored him colder than a
day-old potato, he put it, but Il woke
up better fighter" he added.
At the time he fought Dempsey he
was a lieutenant in the air service.
He says his best fight after that was
with Carl Morris.
Despite all his ring work, the scars
he carries are from wounds received
out of the ring. His left eyebrow is
badly SCARED from an airplane crash,
his nose is SCARED from dog bite
and his left ear is quite puffy from
blow received while training.

WORK HOLDING Up
IN THIS DISTRICT
Employment Change Slight
in Month, Reserve Bank
Reports.
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, September L.
The Fifth Federal Reserve bank here
released its monthly report on busi-
ness, manufacturing and agricultural
conditions in the district today and
said therein that employment in Vir-
ginia had declined but ITO Of ! per
cent during June and July.
Throughout the district, the report
said, employment compared favorably
with the rest of the Nation, although
restricted operations in Carolina tex
tile mills affected pay roll totals.
Hampton Roads, another paragraph
of the report said, shipped 9,642, ,106
net tons of bituminous coal, compared
with 1892, 1876 tons shipped during the
first half of 1898.
In the cotton textile industry mills
continued policy of as per cent re-
striction during the period covered by
the report, but the, output increased
materially during August. Fifth dis
trict mills consumed 165,504 bales Of
cotton last month.
The district tobacco crop was esti-
mated at 545,680, 900 pounds on the
basis of August conditions-a de-
crease of 81 per cent under 1888 pro-
duction.
The report concludes by stating that
Virginia and other fifth district farm
ers are in a very favorable position
this year. Although acreage planted
to cash crops was generally smaller
than in any recent year, the condi-
ton figures for nearly all crops on
August compared well with and 10
year averages.
