Speaking of Sports Charlie Hawkins, member of the Hawkins-Mag handball combination in the Y. M. C. A. league, got all burned up over the claim appearing the other day in the paper that he and his partner would not play the Hergstrom-Anderson Terrible Swede | combination. To correct the impression that might have gone abroad, Hawkins telephoned us today that the story was just opposite to what it should | “We have been chasing those Swedes around for more than a week and they won't play us,” said have been. NDIANS DISPLAY BIG INPROVENENT Cleveland Team Will Offer Plenty of Opposition This Year New Orleans, March 21 UP — Baseball wise railbirds who compare the Cleveland Indians of 1929 with the 1928 edition declare the club has been improved more than any other outfit in the American league. However, this diagnosis, 1if correct, | will not necessarily insure the Red Skins a high place in baseball, for Hawkins. “The same thing holds good with the two lawyers, Dunn and Mangan.” | Hawkins wanted to be sure that everyone was acquainted with the situation so he asked us to put his challenge in these columns to both the Swedes and the Lawyers. Xoth- ing remains now but for the dates 5 be set. Hawkins, as a parting shot, said that both tcams had bad B *cold feet.

There seems no reasonable doubt |that Manager Roger Peckinpaugh's 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 Jackle Tavener and |transfer of Joey Sewell to third base, |and a much neecded punch in the outficld has been supplied by the addition of two promising recruits |and an established star. Dick Por- ter and Earl Avc ‘'l have shown in- “diralious of living up to their minor |league reputations and Bim Falk, |the former Chicago White Sox, can base hits with most of the r league batsmen. | No radical changes have been {made in the battery forces, but Jim Zinn who has pitched goed ball for several years in A. A. baseball will (have a chance to see if he can do half as well higher up. Tuke Sewell, junior of the Sewell brothers, and Glenn Myatt will do the catching, with Grover Hutley, a | veteran who is listed as a coach, acting as emergency rclief unless General Manager Billy ans finds 'a likely prospect unattached. | Zinn and Ken Holloway, late of Detroit, seems to be the best of the | {new pitchers on the staff, but Wes. tley Ierrell, who was farmed to rre Haute, is back, evidently to stay with an even better first ball {th n he had last spring. Verne Un- derhill, another farm hand, proba. bly will make the grade this time, Willis Hudlin, Walter Miller, Joe Shaute, George Grant, Mel Harderf | (and John Miljus are retained from the 14928 staff. Miller has shown de- | cided improvement over his previous | performances and Hudlin has work- od long and hard at a control ma- chine. He has a target set up in right field of the Pelicans ball park where the Indians train, and spends hours throwing ot it. 1If he gets control he is «xpected to take his place beside the leading pitchers of the league. Shaute, the big left hander, has a brand new delivery which may increase his effectiveness, He pulls the ball out of his hip pocket much on the order of Earl Moore, the famous Phillie pitcher of two decade ago. Three-fourths of the infield is set. Joe Sewell, although he has never played third base, alrcady s at the quecr angles a shortstop finds at a corner of the infield. Tavener, who gets as many extra base hits as singles in a year's work, will play s<hortstop with Carl Lind, the dou- ble play expert, at second base. Lew I'onseca and Johnny Hodapp are available for first base with IFonse- ca, the Portuguese song bird, have | ing the call. The infield fight in the Indian camp is for the reserve places. Ray Gardner, New Orleans shortstop, can field hut his hitting remains in doubt. John Burnett, hig and fast, who is a product of the University | of Florida, has made a good im- | pression and may be kept as he is a versatile performer. to start the reason in right and center as both have hit well in the spring.

On glance s enough fo assure anybody that these three huskies could not under any circumstance recite segments of Othello or even Venus and Adonis. But, if asked whether a right hook to the chin was more effective than a left to the breadbasket, anyone of them would take the head of the class. In short, these three gentlemen offer a perfect example of the old school of boxing. In the center is Jim Jeffries, heavyweight champion. His brother, Jack Jeffries, stands to to the left, Ryan, middle and welterweight king, is on the right. This picture was taken during one of their training sojourns in Happy Hollow, back of the Arlington hotel at Hot Springs, Ark. Jeffries was preparing for his fight with Gus Ruhlin, which took place in 1901 in the old Mechanics' Pavilion, San Francisco. That fight saw the déath blow to Ruhlin’s title hopes, Stimulated by a victory over Tom Sharkey via the knockout route, Gus was certain he was destined to become heavyweight champion, and Billy Madden, his manager, urged him on in every way he knew how. For two rounds it looked as though Ruhlin really would transfer the title to his own broad shoulders. But in the third the ax, wielded by Jeffries, fell with a vengeance, and by the end of the fourth, Ruhlin was in bad shape. Just before the fifth ended, Jeffries whipped a ter rific left into Ruhlin's stomach. The in terrible pain, staggered to his corner. Mad- den took one ook at his man and tossed in the sponge. Jack Jeffries also was a fighter. but he lived in a golden age of heavyweights and was not quite good enough to tackle Fitzsimmons, Corbett and men of that type. He would no doubt rank high in the list were he alive today, but then he | worked as a sparring partner to his brother, Ryan, middleweight ruler, served as an invaluable boxing teacher to At the request of William , Jefi’s manager, Ryan took the big fellow in hand and taught him how to hit properly. In addi- tion to that, it was under Ryan's tutelage that the famous Jeffries crouch came into existence. Giants Get Plenty of Practice on Defense San Antonio, Tex., March 21 (@— While not neglecting the hitting side of baseball, the New York Giants are being given plenty of work on defense. Yesterday's innovation was to give the outficlders a hard drill in keep- ing the base runners from getting home. With the sacks populated with one to three runners, Manager McGraw hit fungoes to the outfield- ers and instructed them where to throw the ball after taking it on the first bound to retire a runner or keep him from advancing.
