Spring Work.

By Times Special
EVANSVILLE, Ind, May 28.-The
plans of Red Killefer to start prac-
tice games among the Indians in
their spring training camp called
for regular action to begin today,
but the field was soft and damp this
morning and the guess is that this
part of the routine will not get I'M
der way until the last of the week
or Sunday.
1t was cold in Evansville yester-
day, with a light snowfall, and
Tribe practice was curtailed again.
Outfelders Harry Rosenberg and
Cosrno Cotelle arrived and Manager
Killefer said outfelder Johnny
Cooney is expected within the next
few days. Cooney wintered in
Florida.
Infield and outfield drills were
left off the program yesterday owing
to cold weather and the soft foot
ing, but Chief Killefer put the pas
timers through extra PAGES in other
lines of exercise. The pitchers
worked out and the other players
engaged in soccer, pepper" games
and in runs around the edges of the
field.
1t was ANNOUNCED that owner
Norman A. Perry would visit camp
the last of the week.

1t took an old inhabitant to re-
call when there we're wilder and
more exciting scenes at local
wrestling show than were staged on
the Hercules A. G. program in the
Armory arena last night. The first
bout and the main go were packed
with action and the fans were on
their feet half the time cheering
and shouting as the grapplers en-
ployed all of the known tricks OF
the trade to gain an advantage.
George Zaharias, the Crying
Greek of Colorado, practically cried
himself to victory in the main event
that fairly sizzled with entertain
ment. He was awarded the decision
over Karl (Doc) Sarpolis after each
had gained one fall. 1t looked like
Sarpolis was on the point of win
ming when he. had the Cry Baby
heavyweight on the ropes, but
Zaharias had one scheme left and
he put it to good use.
Both men were exhausted as a
result of the long, smashing bout,
and zaharias caused himself to
push with his remaining power into
Sarpolis' midriff and the Doc lost
wind and released his grip. It was
then that George pounced on his
opponent for the deciding fall.
The gladiators challenged each
other after the verdict and stormed
around the ring for some time be-
fore quiet was restored
Zaharias annexed the first fall in
sixteen minutes with a reverse
deadlock and Sarpolis captured the
second toss in fifteen minutes with
a flying body scissors. 1t took
twenty-three minutes before the
third and victory fall was registered
with both men practically out on
their feet.
In the opening match Tom Dad
Wolff Marvin for once was the
peoples choice" but the best he
got was a thirty-minute draw with
Frank Speer, former Georgia Tech
football star Of Atlanta. There were
no falls, but it was rough going
from start to finish and a punch
fest was staged after the bell.
Marvin received a lacerated ear
during the bout and he was ready
for anything that Speer had to offer
in the unscheduled overtime" This
prelim affair was waged on the or
der of a main event.
Man Mountain Dean proved just a
molehill in the semi windup. He
was big enough, but there was too
much around his middle" and once
on his back he was like a turtle
His adversary, Charlie Strack of
Boston, lost no time in dealing out
body punishment to the Georgia
freak.
Dean evidently is good as a carni-
val grappler, but he was up against
class last night and lasted only a
little better than three minutes.
Strack has a lot of experience and
coaching behind him. He formerly
played football at Colgate university
and Oklahoma A. and M. college,

With a $4,000 contract, Klein is
the highest paid player in the
National League and if he doesn't
deliver for the Cubs he'll inmedi-
ately fall back into the ordinary
player class as did Babe Herman
after his miserable showing last
year.
StatiSticians are brandishing a
lot OF figures to show why Klein
won't prove a great hitter with
the Cubs, basing their case on the
difference in the size of the
Phillies and Cubs ball parks. The
Cubs park is much larger, as shown
by the following dimensions:
PhiIlies Park. Cubs Park. Difference
Left Fie'd-34I #. S64 n. 23u
Center FieId-4OS #. 4S6 TT. % IT,
Right FieId-2SO # in. S2I #. 10 #. 6 in.
Lays 1t to Pitching
While he was with the Phillies.
Klein never had much luck at
Wrigley Field, hitting less than 800
there last season, but he attributes
this to smart pitching, rather than
to the park.
Tell me any visiting ball player
who ever murdered the Cubs pitch
ers at Wrigley Field" says Klein.
I'm not worrying about having to
play in bigger ball park. I may
not hit as many home runs as I did
when played with the Phillies, but
I'll get just as many hits. Playing
on a winning ball club will more
than offset the difference in the size
of the parks"
b,lein'S spring training batting
average seems to indicate that he
knows what he's talking about. He's
batting .531 so far, and has played
most Of his games in Wrigley Field.
Los Angeles, a replica of Wrigley
Field, Chicago. He has banged out
ten singles and seven doubles in
thirty-two times at bat He hasn't
hit triple or a home run.
No Average Player
Klein is no batting average ball
player, and he volunteers the in
formation that he'll gladly sacrifice
his National League batting cham
pionship for National League pen
nant.
Il want to play On a champion
ship ball club" says Klein. s'I'm
not worrying about how much I'll
hit with the Cubs. All I want to
do is drive in lot of runs and help
them win the pennant. don't care
whether I hit singles or sacrifices"
The Cubs board of strategy fig
ures that Klein's presence in the
cleanup position will help both XXI
Cuyler, who hits ahead of him. and
Babe Herman, who hits after him.
They reason that many a pitcher
