DONIE BUSH IS SITTING PRETTY Burning up the Majors with a Team That Was Next to Tailender'in American As-] v social ion Last Season. I B, JOHN POSTER lyrtflfcC ?'-*? By TN AM Plant City. Fla.. Marc'u 2??The Indianapolis Club of the American Association, which finished just above the tall-enders last season, is burning up the big leagues down here in Florida. And Donie Hush, the club's now manager, is enjoying a splendid spring after a hard win ter. Donle, who was let out by Clark Griffith as manager of the Washing ton Americans at the end of last sea son. was feeling pretty good as a result of victories over Brooklyn, Clncinnat and the New York Nationals. But his cup of joy was filled to overflowing when he added a 7-4 trouncing to the club Grif thought he wasn't good enough to command. Just now It looks as if the cham pionship of Florida lay between Washington and Indianapolis, and Bush is extending himself for a apring pennant. Donle's situation down here Is most amusing?to Donle. To on#1 side of him. at Tampa, is Grif with his Washington's. To the other, at Orlando, Is Jack Hendricks, com mander of the Cincinnatis. About the time that Griffith was deciding to send Donle out 011 the tossing waves of baseball's dead sea, Hendricks concluded he didn't like the way thing* .were going In Indian had an Idea ho could get owners to a poll*, when- he was manager, and buy the club. He worked a deal -with <Mnrfmrati whtrtr Almost took the property. But Cincinnati with drew almost the last moment. Hen dricks was stumped. He was out all around until Cincinnati took him on as assistant coach. The death of Moran made him boss of the Rod*. Cincinnati gave out that having to build new grounds balked the d<tial with Ind.'annpolK The fact Is that Donle Bush's friends stole a march on Cincinnati and Hendricks, and got the team under their noses. And here Donle is, with Griffith I to one side of him and Hendricks to the other ? and licking them both. , Bush's team Is made up of many I old timers. There's Sicking, second , ( baseman, who wag a giant In war f time. He Is fast, but has lacked J Incentive, And there Is Janvrln, [ also a recond baseman, who flashed j his first year as if he would burn up ! the big leagues, but whose fire I went out* Then there is Otto Kru- | ger. one time Giant, who always 1 was a hitter. When he meets the ' hall it will kiss any fence goodbye I and pass on. Schmandt. first I baseman, was headed for fame with Brooklyn. hut stabbed his toe I when fame stuck out a nasty foot. Rehc and Kirks are old timers In . th." hip league5*. Kirke was once I with the Giants and ate as many | times a dav as he mede base hits. / One day he made six hits and al- j most foundered. Campbell, third | ?baseman, is a Franklin College boy. j The phort stop's name is Hodapn, but tills player should appenl to the I court to chang;* It to "Giddap." 1 That would he better with IiIh speed. 1 j Bush says he Is on his way ,to the first division If his shortstop con-j| tlnues doing so wall. And Bush 1 ought to know, for he has played, shw-t^ton himself so long that he 11 can tell you how many srralns of 1 sand there are between third and 1! second Hodapp Is only 18. but he Is as j birr as Konetch. He has shoulders' like e tug of war man and his legs j are thick and stiong. but he Is asj nimble as a toe dancer. He has an ; arm thnt whips Ahem over In great ! shape, and a reach that begins at the pole and s?opn at the equator.4 If he can hit he is one whale of a prospect. The scouts overlooked him last, reason, but several clubs nre trying j now to get first call on him for next year. Bush savs they won't. But the American Association now has] the modified draft, and if thls1 school hoy keeps on pulling them in.j the draft will pull him In unless he j is passed along in the meantime. New York.

Rockne conferred with re presentatives of various institutions who had approached him with ofters whose flattering nature was commensurate with his prestige, and ability.

I The Influence of Rockne's per-1 personality at Notre .Dame Is best 1 exemplified by the squad of nearly1 two hundred men out for spring! football. nearly two hundred! | for track and a hundred and fifty for baseball.
