Phil Gallivan, the right-handed
pitcher obtained from the Chicago
White Sox, joined the HooSier
party yesterday. He spent the day
resting up from the long motor trip
from Minnesota. He doesn't want
to cut loose with his throwing until
there is warmth in the air.

cut with his club.
Moreover, a few Of the most
candidates will be kept

servation and trial during the early

Jim Sharp, left-handed rookie
pitcher of San Bernardino, Cal, has
all the actions of Ferdie Schupp,
old-time Indianapolis southpaw.
Sharp is a lean lad of 18. He is a
"red-head' and owns a good curve
and fast ball. Sharp pitched high
school ball, American Legion and
semi-pro in California. He stands
six feet one inch and weighs 167.
The University of Kentucky all
stars basketball team defeated the
Indianapolis-Louisvill C o m b n e
quintet in Fulton Saturday night,
SO to "a. Herman Bottema, Indian
apolis rookie infielder, made it a
bad night for Leroy Edwards, In
dianapolis star with Kentucky. Both
are from Tech High School. Ed
wards was unable to get going IN
til Bottema was withdrawn from
the game, after which Leroy scored
Is points.
Norman A. Perry, Tribe president,

tonight.
The indianapolis Times sports
editor ano Dick Miller, carrying the
baseball camera, are covering the
spring training activities Of the In
dians and rolling along the Ken
lucky highways in a Studebaker
Dictator supplied by the Litzelman-
Morrison Automobile Co. Of Indian
apoliS.
Stewart Bolen. veteran Southpaw,
has had two workouts since report
ing at Mayfeld. He was in the hos
pital several days. but is ready now
TO settle down to regular drill. I'm
less Bolen is in form at the outset
of the regular season. Manager Kill
lefer is going to be hard put for a
mainstay, an experienced mainstay
left-hander.
The Indians have not been on the
field enough to give an observer the
proper slant on their strength, but
just at present it looks as though
plenty of help is needed, such as
better catching strength, a strong
rookie outfelder to serve as reserve
and a couple of experienced left
handed hurlerS.
