CLEVELAND. April l7.-Rollick-
ing Rollie Hemsley was back in the
good graces of the Cleveland In
dians' management today, but Vice
President c. C. Slapnicka, the judge
who suspended sentence, made it
clear he did so only after Manager
Oscar Witt made an eloquent tele-
phone plea in Hemsleys behalf.

training rules for a third time in
his two years with the Indians, was
sent here to talk with Slapnicka
after rumpus on the train carrying
the team from Richmond, Va, to
New York Friday night.
Ruined Players Sleep, is Charge.
Witt accused the Tribal catcher of
running the sleep" of a carload of
players with his night-long antics.
Slapnicka held a conference with
the penitent player and then an
nounced that Rollie neither would
be fined nor suspended.
Slapnicka declared. however, that
Hemsley "jeopardized' his chances
of collecting a 5000 bonus in his
contract for exemplary behavior.
Il told Rollie he was receiving
his final chance with the Indians. "
the vice president said "The next
time all the pleas and excuses in
the world will not save his job"
The catcher's first run-in with
the management came two weeks
after he reported at the New Or
leans training base last season. He
was suspended for 10 days then

Capital 10 Be Center
OF Golf Promotion
During Summer
Heavy Links Population
Makes City Preferred
Selling Spot

All professional exhibition and pro
golf activity around Washington
this spring, centering largely around
East Potomac Park, comes because
the manufacturers of golf equip
ment consider Washington and the
Mid-Atlantic area one of the better
markets for golf supplies.
This area hasn't exactly been
overlooked by the manufacturers,
but they are realizing nowadays
that Washington is hot spot for
golf. and in the future we may ex-
pect more pro and golf promotion
activity than ever before.
Big Golf Population.
For a town Of around 600, O,000
Washington probably has more golf
ers in proportion to population than
any town in the East. No one can
tell you accurately how many golf
ers there are around Washington,
but if the dozen country clubs have
an average of 300 members-which
probably is low-that would put the
number of private club golfers
around 1000.
And there must be 5000 more
regular golfers playing the public
courses. In all, the figure of men
and women who play the game
regularly probably will come pretty
close to 5,000-maybe more.
Eager to Send Stars Here.
This town is a great golf market,
said Walter Hagen. who represents
one of the big golf manufacturing
outfits. I'VE are gradually coming
to regard Washington as the hub
of sector where golf sales are grow
ing fast" Other manufacturers
representatives have said the same
thing and the Capital is the heart
of links territory stretching from
the Virginia Carolina border to Phil
adelphia.
That pro exhibition slated for June
IL at East Potomac Park is another
evidence that the manufacturers re-
gard Washington as a big links CEN
ter. One manufacturer has prom
ised a dozen OF his star performers
for this affair. Another has asked
Tommy Doerer to write his own
ticket as to who is wanted to play
Altogether, 1t adds up to the fact
that the manufacturers find busi.
ness conditions in golf pretty health,
around the Capital.

Fred Haney, st. Louis Browns:
I'VE are not trying to finish in any

try to play 500 ball and that ought
to land us fifth or better. We have

I'm unable to say where we will
