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.

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.

New York, (LP) The winter box

Seldom has a scrap between little

of this second meeting between

cartoonist who. stopped him out In
Detroit recently.
McLarnin, who Is having some
dififculty in making the 140 pounds

training, but Miller, prepared to

WET WEATHER
IN PROSPECT
. 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,

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. Bathroom, smoke-
room and dining room have been
turned into bed chambers, and hotel
keepers declared they could do no
more to accomodate the increasing
crowds.
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. Liners due before
the race were expected to swell the
crowd with numbers of American
visitors but it was not known where
or how they , would be put up.
