THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1929 IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN BY CLEVELAND INDIANS PACE ElfiHT PECKIIIPAUGH MEN TO SHOW BOLDER FRONT (By BRIAN BELL) New Orleans (A1) Baseball wise yailblrds who compare the Cleve land Indians of 1929 with the 1028 edition declare the club has been Improved more than any other out fit in the American league. How ever, this diagnosis, If correct, will not necessarily insure the red skins a high place In baseball for they had more room for improvement than most of the other clubs. There seems no reasonable doubt that Manager Roger Pecklnpaugh'p remade team will offer a far bolder front than he was able to present last season. His infield has been strengthened by the addition of the little, but rugged Jackie Tavencr and transfer of Joey Sewell to third base and a much needed punch In the outfield has been supplied by the addition of two promising re cruits and an established star. Dick Porter and Earl Averill have shown Indications of living up to their minor league reputations and Bib Falk, the former Chicago White Box. can swap base hits with most of the major league batsmen. No radical changes have been made in the battery forces, but Jim Zinn who has pitched good ball for several years In A. A. baseball will have a chance to see if he can do half as well higher up. Luke Sewell, Junior of the famous Bewcll brothers, and Glenn Myatt will do the catching with Grover Hartley, a veteran who is listed as a coach, acting as emergency relief unless General Manager Billy Evans finds a likely prospect unattached. Zinn and Ken Holloway, late of Detroit, seem to be the best of the new pitchers on the staff, but Les ley Ferrell, who was farmed to Terre Haute, Is back evidently to stay with an even better fast ball then he had last spring. Willis Hudlin, Walter Miller, Joe Shautc, George Grant, Mel Harder and John Miljus are retained from the 1928 stair. Three-fourths of the infield is set. Joe Sewell. although he has never played third base Is already at home and seems to have conquered the queer angles a shortstop finds at a corner of the hiiicid. Tavener, who gets as many extra base hits as singles in a year's work, will play shortstop with Carl Ltnd, the double-play expert, at second base. Lew Fonseca and Johnny Hodapp are available for first base With Fonseca, the Portuguese song bird, having the call. The infield fight In the Indian camp is for the- re serve places. Porter and Averill seem destined to start the season in right and center as both have hit well in the spring. The clever Jamleson is in a contest with the hard-hitting Bib Falk for the other field. One will be an extra outfielder .with Ed Morgan, the only right-handed hit ter In the first five outfielders. U. S. Strong In $60,000 Grand National T Portland (P) Hob Myers, Port land light heavyweight wrestler, took two out of three falls from Tarro Mlyake, Jlu Jltsu Japanese exponent, here Wednesday-night, In one of the cleanest matches seen here in some time. Myers took the first fall, coming out of a Japan ese wristlock to clamp on a short arm scissors in 45 minutes and 20 seconds. Miyake gained the second fall In 12 minutes, 3 seconds, with a Japanese body slam, tossing his opponent to the mat until he lay prone. The final fall came quickly. Myers, after seemingly being out from some fast Jlu Jitsu work, came suddenly to life and went after Miyake with a scries of Karaslck flying reverse hcadlocks and after four trips through the air Miyake succumbed. The time was 4 minutes 31 seconds. Chet Wiles and Pat McCarthy grappled 30 minutes to a draw In the prclimlanry, neither taking a fall. 1 BILLY I ...... j t 7" r2 1 I BARTON ' ' ' Eleven American entries, headed by Billy Barton will try their speed over the treacherous Alntree course In the spectacular Grand National steeplechase March 22. Easter Hero and Blights Boy are among the Yankee headliners in the biff. event. CLEM EASY PREY FOR CLIVE Klamath Falls, (IF) In one of the greatest main events ever staged in Klamath Falls, "Tiger" Johnny Clinc of San Francisco slashed, hooked and slugged his way to a decisive victory over Walter Cleghorn, Seattle Eskimo, in a ten-round fight here Wednesday night. They are middle-weights. Outweighed eight pounds, and seven years older than the game Eskimo, Cline dazzled his opponent from the first round to the tenth. Instead of weakening, as had been predicted, Clins grew stronger and in the tenth wa'i whaling away at Cleghorn with both hands while the Eskimo was holding on desper ately; MUBNUI STILL PEACE PACT WINS Liverpool, England, (IP) G.

Ten horses were In the race. 1 New York, (LP) The winter box ing season will come to an end Fri day with tho ten round bout at Madison Square Garden between Jimmy McLarnin of Vancouver and Ray Miller of Chicago. Seldom has a scrap between little fellows stirred up the interest and excitement created by the prospect of this second meeting between "Baby Face" and the little Chicago cartoonist who. stopped him out In Detroit recently. McLarnin, who Is having some dififculty in making the 140 pounds required of him, is continuing his training, but Miller, prepared to spot his opponent a weight advant age of seven or eight pounds, is taking things easily. Despite the seven round knockout scored over McLarnin by Miller this winter, the coast boxer Is a favor ite to reverse the decision. chosen secretary, at the Y. M. O. A.

FOR CLASSIC Alntree, England WP) Prospects of fair weather lor i-Tiday s grand na tional steeplechase dimmed Thurs day as Wednesday's drizzle devel oped into a regular North of Eng land downpour. The rain slackened Thursday morning, however, and permitted the steeplechase candidates to take their early morning canters. Billy Barton, American jumper, stepped along in tine spirits and sniffed with apparent pleasure the raindrops which are the first that have fallen in this part of England in more than a month. Too much rain would not please the Maryland jumper's trainers and jockey, but the moisture which the Alntree roure has received thus far is just sufficient to make the going good Friday, Easter Hero, pnee owned by the late Captain Alfred Loewenstein, i favored, at odds of 10 to 1, with Billy Barton and Great Span' British horse, quoted at 100 to 7 each. As many as GO horses are likely to start. Liverpool was crowded in antici pation of the race. Hotels and board ing houses were filled beyond their capacity and even a billiard table to serve as a bed was at a premium Wednesday night.

Thousands of girls - and women were among arrivals. .A number of large tents have been erected in gardens around the city so that residents can increase the accomo dation for friends.
