SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK
~ STATE, April f2.-The smoke
becomes denser. The fumes of to-
bacco and perspiration seem to con-
dense and pour down the dingy
walls like a miasmic vapor. The
little porridge bowl arena in which
400 so-called humans-now some
thing less than human and some
thing more than demnoacal-are
damned together in an obscene mix
ture of passion and greed. becomes
an inferno.
The cooking main is on.
The sleek red rooster with the
proud yellow ruff about his throat is
breast to breast with the big gray
fellow. They are dwelling as hui
man fighters never levelled. for
their very lives are at stake and
they know it.
Suddenly the gray one springs in
the air. For the space that a
breath is held he seems to hank
motionless, like a helicopter. over
the head of his enemy. There is
a silver flash as the gray fellow
strikes. II is so fast and wicked
that it seems to stab your own eye
balls.

A new champion was crowned in

The 10O-yard free style produced

This move sent Fred Bedore tc
his old berth at third base yester-
day and, although he was rather
awkward in the field, he felt so en-
Unused over getting his job back
that he blasted out a triple, double
and single. Sigafoos also took on q
cheerful attitude and poled out two
singles and stole base.

Is Ernie Wingard Through?
Another position giving Manager
Killefer a headache is first base
where Ernie Wingard is operating
The veteran Ernie apparently has
reached the END of the string with
the Indians. He fell off in batting
last year and his fielding was far
below Glass AA standard. The guess
now is that Jimmy Cooney will be
brought in from the outfeld and
stationed at first base
The Cincinnati second team
garnered sixteen hits to eleven for
the Indians yesterday, and the
errors were two for the winners and
four for the Tribe. Stewart Bolen
and Ed Berringer pitched for the
Indians, and the former looked good
Bolen tWirled five innings, and al
though six runs were scored against
him he was handicapped by poor
support. Bach cracked a home run
off Bolen and Blakely hit one off
Berringer. The young right handler
was solved for ten hits and nine
runs.
Shevlin Still Is Frail
Sheriff Blake and young Evans
divided the mound duties for the
Cincy Colts There was consolation
for the Indians in the fact that they
got eight blows and five runs off
Blake, a veteran campaigner.
Jimmy Shevlin, the first sacker
signed as a free agent by the In
dams, will not join the Tribe until
after Sunday-if at all. He is frail
and hardly physically fit to stand up
under hard drive. He is playing
with the Cincy Colts and is doing
we'll enough at the plate, but there
is no weight on his frame. The
youth looks too slender to stay in
baseball and battle the heat of
summer.
This writer's prediction on the
Indians inf1eld and outf1eld lineup
at Toledo next Tuesday follows:
Cooney, first; Sigafoos, second; Be-
dore, third; Lee, short; Rosenberg,
left field; Cotelle, center field, and
Washington, right field 1t will be
either Sprinz or Riddle back of the
plate, with the mound assignment
yet to be determined.
