The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-04-19

in a conversation with the Tribe
chieftain, it is apparent he has
reached the decision to put the for
mer infeld star Of the indianapolis
Hercules A. C.s in the regular In
dian lineup before his short road
trip is over. if not at once.
1.-The regular inf1eld is becoming
little too DID," Killefer remarked,
"and it won't hurt to give an In
dianapolis home town lad a chance"
Lawrie is the type to become an idol
if he makes the grade.
Using on Mound Today
Jack Using is slated to do the
Tribe twirling today in the windup
with the Hens, and Riddle will be his
catcher. The remainder of the In
dian lineup will stand unless young
Lawrie displaceS Bedore at third.
The Indians will depart for Co.
lumbus tonight at 7:30 to begin a
three game series with the cham
pion Red Birds tomorrow. Killefers
FASTENERS will stay in Columbus for
three games, through Sunday, and
leave for indianapolis Sunday night
to groom for the home opening at
Perry Stadium on Tuesday, playing
Toledo.
The Indians bumped into crafty
southpaw in Bill Perrin at Swayne
field in Toledo yesterday and the
slender lefty handed the Hoosiers
nine goose eggs, Toledo scoring a
shutout, to 0. 1t was the first
time the Indians had faced smart
southpaw pitching this year, and
the Redskins had cobwebs in their
eyes, three being caught sleeping
off first base on snap throws by
Perrin to Davis. Lee, Shevlin and
Bedore were the victims who quail
fed for the insomnia league.
Good pitching by Jim Turner of
the Indians was wasted. He al
lowed only seven hits and convinced
himself he is capable of going the
route. Perrin baffled the Indians
and kept six hits scattered, in adj
dition to making it bad for base
runners. Only twelve Indians faced
him in the last four innings. Lee
reached first in the sixth by
singing, but was erased in a dou-
BILE play. 1t was one, two, three the
rest of the distance against the
Toledo hurler.
Shires on Market
The Hens changed their lineup
and played heads up baseball. Art
Shires was benched and Pete Tur-
geon, who performed at second,
turned in dandy fielding game and
blasted a triple that scored a mate.
Turgeon is not supposed to be a hit
ter, but he crashed one yesterday
that carried to the left field corner.
1t is said Shires has been placed on
the market. Harry Davis is too good
for Art at first base, and the great
man is out of place at second. Davis
smacked three hits Tuesday and
three more yesterday, three of the
six blows being doubles.
Davis is new in the American
Association, and so far the Hoosier
hurlerS have been at a loss to dis
cover his weakness. He already has
become a hero in the hearts of
SWayne field rooters.
The Hens got off to a good start
yesterday in the second inning when
Refs scored from second after two
down on Lees muff of MontagueS
easy grounder.
Maybe he thinks he's still in
Evansville" boss Killefer remarked,
as Lee stopped for the ball with his
chin in the air.
In the fourth, singles by Powers
and Refs after one down were fol-
lowed by double by Davis, scoring
Powers and Refs also tailed on
Garbark's fly to Washington after
Montague was handed an inten-
tional pass. Refs interfered with
the throw-in but the act escaped
umpire Mclaughlin and the run was
allowed
Manager Killefer and catcher
Sprinz lost the argument after
series of gestures and not a thing
could be done about it. Mclaughlin
offered an amusing explanation He
said that when Refs reached out and
pushed the ball away from Sprinz,
that he (Reis) thought he was
reaching for the plate. That's a new
one for the book.
Run number four for Toledo was
chalked in the seventh, after two
away, on walk to Galatzer and a
triple by Turgeon.
Crowd Is PitifuI
Only one Indian reached second
base against the battling stuff that
Perrin used, backed up by fancy
support. Sprinz got as far as sec
ond in the fifth on an infleld hit
and PERKINS, wild throw. Other
wise it was gala day for the for
mer New Orleans hurler. He was
master of the game from start to
finish, and took part in a dashy
double play, first to second and back
to first, with Perrin covering.
About the only consolation the
Indians received out of the fracas
was the fact the hidden ball trick
wasn't worked on them. However,
it was tried.
Less than 500 turned out for the
contest yesterday and the officials
in the Swayne field counting house
are tearing their hair. Another
check on spring training expenses
for the Hens boosted the total out
lay to $500. Moreover, on gate adj
missions in Toledo, the government
takes 10 per cent and the state of
Ohio also takes 10 per cent. More
over. the league collects cents on
each ticket and the player bonus of
2 cents.
| Altogether more than IS per cent
