and what to do about it when it
SHOWS, rains or becomes exceed

Alvis has planned huge canvas
covering as a counter punch for
rain and snow, but the cost of that
covering-some $l8,0OO-plus Dis

still to be solved.
District rules, it is believed, pro-

How to circumvent that restriction
and keep customers warm in freez-

Nat Catcher May Be Dropped
AS Harris Seeks Room for
IL HurIers on Squad

Harris. as we'll as President Clark
Griffith and the other Mats, are
excited ali over again about the
speed-ball hurlers. 1t is interesting
to note that all except two of the
young pitchers on Bucky's March 81
list of the preferred are fast-ballers
Ortiz, Masterson. Carrasquel, Kra-
kauskas and Chase. The exceptions
are Rene Monteagudo. the little
Cuban left-hander, and Hayes, the
curve-b -balling right-hander from
Charlotte.
Il like them big and fast" said
Harris. IF those kind of fellows
disappoint it doesn't hurt so much,
because you know they have a
chance to come back"
Tony Is Okay With Ortiz.
Following Harris declaration,
there is a measure of unrest among
the catching staff. Rookie Al Evans
is ticketed for Charlotte, so there
is no unrest on his part, but Jake
Early and Tony Giuliani are Won
dering. If the backstopping de-
partment is to be cut to two men,
one must go while the other remains
to understudy Rick Ferrell.
Early did not hurt himself when
he singled and tripled on his first
two trips to the plate against De-
troit on Sunday. This is what the
Mats have been awaiting-signs OF
batting power in Early. They al
ways have liked his receiving, his
youth and his throwing arm.
Giuliani is not held in high es-
TEEN by the bossmen but the pitch
ers respect him as catcher. Be-
sides, Tony has strengthened his
case as a handler of Ortiz. The
Italian Mr.. Giuliani picked up a
smattering of Spanish at Catholic
University and seems to catch Ortiz
better than the others. 1t may
develop that as Ortiz goes so goes
Giuliani.
Today's intrasquad game was to
be played mainly for the benefit OF

Allen Not Likely
To Be Of Much
Use 10 Tribe
Slab Load Too Heavy
For FeI|er, Harder
To Handle Easily
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS, March Ala
two-day study of the Cleveland
Indians has convinced me they will
need plenty of luck to finish as high
in the coming American League race
as they did in the last. when they
wound up third after buckling in
the latter stages,
I'm pretty certain I saw three
clubs in Florida-NeW York, Boston
and Detroit-that will take the In
dians' measure. Their once great
pitching staff is beginning to fall
apart, and they still are inadequate
at second base and shortstop. Oscar
Witt. their manager, is lot quieter
than he was year ago.
The Indians for the past several
seasons have been able to count
upon Mel Harder. Johnny Allen and
Bob Feller to give them brilliant
pitching on about three days out of
four This was a truly fine big
Three" But now it looks to me
as though they've lost Allen. and
that's blow they can't survive.
Aliens Efforts Half Hearted.
Allen, you might recall, hurt his
arm pitching in the last All-Star
game at Cincinnati after having set
phenomenal record for the first
| half OF the season. He wasn't worth
a cent to the club after that, drop
ping something like eight out of nine
starts. During the winter they slit
open his elbow and removed one
of those spurs that have become
so fashionable with our tossers.
For week he's been trying to
timber the wing up slowly, using a
halting, half-hearted little motion
that brought a lump to my throat
Even if by some miracle the wing
/ finally comes back completely, Allen
won't be ready to pitch before the
first of May. and then only in relief
roles for while BY that time I'm
afraid the American League parade
will have swept on past the Injuns.
Harder still is great pitcher. and
I think the coming season will be the
one in which the Kid" finally es-
tablishes himself alongside the
Johnsons. the AleXanders and the
Mathewsons. But it takes more than
two pitchers to keep a club up there
nowadays.
Feller Using Change of Pace.
I've finally got Feller using a
change of pace" said Witt. That
was the last thing he needed to
make him complete pitcher. Wait
until you see those batters break
ing their backs on his slow one"
The teams veteran shortstop,
Lyn Larry, holdout, finally pulled
into camp yesterday and signed his
1889 contract, but his position seems
to be occupied by Jimmy 'Skeeter
Webb of Meridian. Miss. Webb is
frail-looking but re-fielding play
er who was taken away from the
St. Louis Cardinals in that general
housecleanlng by Commissioner
Lands just year ago.
Indian officials professed indif-
ference to the whereabouts of their,
holdout outielder. Earl Averill
They only deny most emphat tically
that they are trying to trade him to
the St. Louis Browns for Don Heff-
ner though don't see why, for they
certainly could use Heffner at second
base. AS it is they must depend
upon Odell Hale again.
With five outfielders in camp such
as jeff Heath, Ben Chapman, Bruce
Campbell, Julius Solters and Roy
Weatherly the Indians can struggle
along very nicely without Averill,
even though he hit $3.50 last year.

ORLANDO, Fla, March 21.-As
the Nationals moved today into a
new week of formal and informal
campaigning in the grapefruit cir
cult, Manager Bucky Harris began
to plan a sharp revision in the
makeup of the squad which he will
carry into the American League
season.
Mr.. Harris is something like the
old woman who lived in the shoe
because he has so many pitchers he
doesn't know what to do. He had
planned to carry 10 pitchers.

fielders to conform with the 25-
player limit. Now he is in a guam
Diary.
There are more than 10 pitchers
I want to keep now" said Harris
today, as he speeded elimination
movements by commanding a seven
inning intrasquad game. From
what I've seen Of Ortiz, Carrasuu5i
Masterson, Monteagudo and Haynes,
they are good enough to be useful
But I can't keep them, and Kelley
Weaver, De Shong. Chase. Krakaus-
kas, Appleton and Leonard, too, un-
less I make changes in plans"
He May Cut Catching Staff.
Bucky isn't saying what changes
he plans, probably because he
doesn't know. He has until May Is
to cut down his squad to Is players,
which is two more than the old limit
But he admits that the batterymen
will be affected chiefly by new plans
I'VE could carry 5 outfelders, 2
catchers and IL pitchers, unused
Bucky. I'm fact, we may do it,"
Another possibility" he said, was
the release of one of the older
pitchers. If Bucky was thinking
about any particular one, however.
he did not mention his name.

Chico Amazes
With His Fast
Derby Trials
Handlers Convinced
Winter Book Choice
Is Finer Than Ever
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 21.-It's get
ting so even Trainer Matt Brady
and the stablehands are becoming
more and more amazed every time
Ell Chico has workout.
The little 3-year-old redhead pre-
pairing for the Kentucky Derby was
undefeated as a 2-year-old and is
winner book favorite for the Blue
Grass classic. The chestnut son Of
John P. Grier,La Chica was asked
for his first show of speed in the
last couple of days and he turned
IN a time that made the William
Zlegler Stable clockers look twice at
their watches to make sure Nley
weren't mistaken.
AS mis.,' be expected, Trainer
Brady is '1ploying his usual Irish
tact about the whole thing out at
the Belmont Park winter quarters.
Talk to him about it, and you'll
get the usual Hes doing good"
reply. However. from another source
this correspondent learned that Ell
Chico did three-eighths of a mile in
50 seconds day or so ago and he
did 1t as easily as if he were out
for a canter in Central Park.
Gradual Conditioning Due.
That's what is amazing every-
body here" said this source. Hes
so ambitious and natural about it
that we wonder just what his limit
is. He took that workout so easily.
and then was clocked in LOS for
flve-eighths with no effort. that the
handlers are pretty near convinced
he's better than last year"
And you may recall that Ell Chico
only took seven straight races In
his 80 campaigning for total money
winnings of s34.1OO If this goes on
there'll be no stopping him. al-
though he has yet to prove his lik-
ing for distance.
That's the schedule from now
on the source explained. They'll
stretch him gradually until they
hnd out how he goes for the mile
and a quarter. But around here
they're pretty we'll convinced. from
the form he has shown in his short
er workouts. that he won't run into
much trouble over the route.
Our Mat Outmatched.
For instance. Our Mat, the other
ziegler Derby hopeful. was supposed
to be much more advanced in his
conditioning than El Chico because
he had raced in California this win.
ter while Chico was in the stables
here. Well, they put Chico in against
Our Mat in a fast workout last
Saturday. and there was no COM
parlson. Yes. sir, the Chico was the
horse. 1t may not sound natural,
and it isn't. but there it is.'
From now on the Redhead will
get three or four fast workouts a
week. as the conditioning process
continues. to get him used to route.
going. Although Brady was tempt.
ed to send him to Maryland for the
Bowie meeting the trainer vetoed
the idea finally and will keep him
here until the Wood Memorial at
Jamaica. late in April. when Ell
Chico will get his pre-Derby test.
After that, on to Louisville.
