Ruffing Dislikes Airplanes, Threatens To Quit Baseball I After the Caps outskated Coach Frank Beisler's Bisons during the first period Buffalo turned the tables to force the issue in the second session and it was Bob Blake who picked up Fritz Hunt's pass from in back of the Indianapolis cage for the only goal of the contest at 6:18. Goalie Connie Dion, who played a lot of hockey in Indianapolis nets last season, gained the shut-: out which he fell 76 seconds short I of obtaining Tuesday night.

The pace picked up in the third i period and Coach Seibert used every trick in an attempt to beat the little Buffalo goalie, sending In two extra forwards in the closing seconds of play but to no avail. BV LOSING THEIR sixth decision in the last seven starts with Buffalo the Caps are faced with the necessity of winning four of the last five games in the series in order to stay in the running for the Calder Cup championship. The teams will play at Indianapolis Sunday and Tuesday nights and then return to Buffalo next Thursday if necessary for game No. 5. A sixth game would be played at Indianapolis a week from Saturday and a possible seventh tilt would bring the teams back to Buffalo on the next day if the series goes the route.

Buffalo probably lost the services of Doug Lewis, speedy wing, for the remainder of the series midway through the first period when Doug McCaig bounced him off the boards. Lewis was rushed to the hospital with a possible fractured rib. LESSARD PICKED IP the first penalty for charging in the third minute of action and Coach Seibert sent Bukovich, his fourth forward into play. Although the Caps made it hot for Dion they couldn't take advantage of their opportunity during Art's two-minute sentence. Doug; McCaig was penalized for checking Doug Lewis into the boards so hard that the Bison wingman had to be replaced in the lineup.

Despite the fact that the Caps were short-handed, Andy Brani-gan and Bukovich broke away twice only to be stopped deep in Bison territory. Then both Jack Adams of Buffalo, or tripping, and McCaig again, for charging, were sent to the penalty box. Mike McMahon, 215-pound de-fenseman, was thumbed out for two minutes by Referee Rabbit McVeigh for hooking and although Cliff Simpson got all the way through to fire point blank I at the target. Dion got his stick in the way and the Bisons were at full strength again without damage. TWO MINUTES before the close of the scoreless first period, Vic Lynn was caught for board cherkine.

Five penalties, four against the Bisons, were called during the first 20-minute session, three more then in the entire game Tuesday night. Roger Leger, defenseman who was voted the league's most valuable skater, received a set of golf clubs and a trophy as Buffalo's most popular player between the first and second periods. Bukovich and McMahon skated to the penalty box together after three minutes of the second period for high sticking, but neither team scored during their absence. BUFFALO SCORED first again at 6:18 when Fritz Hunt skated all the way down the far side and then passed from behind the cage to Bob Blake, who exploded his shot directly in front of Tommy Kier, Ilassett Chosen For All-Star Quintet New York, March 21 UP) Two Notre Dame basketball players, Forward Leo Klier and Guard Billy Hassett, were named today to True Magazine's all-star five, selected by the votes of 600 sports writers and broadcasters throughout the country.

M. Kurland was shifted from center, his regular post. ft Id II ii L'our way down here to join the Indianapolis Indians in their spring training In a coach we read a short bulletin which in reality was a masterpiece. Same thought might well be carried on by any sports writer in covering the news of the day, especially in such times as these when many a youngster with high hopes ahead is trying to make the grade in professional baseball. THE LITTLE NOTICE aid In part that "being courteous on all occasions i something never to he regretted but failure Just once, may inflict a permanent injury.

In railroads as well a in any other business, courtesy is recognized a an act of kindness graciously performed. It shows appre ciation to those who, we hope, may become our future patrons. Courtesy promote esteem and commands respect." This is similar to conditions here in which you figure baseball as a business, and it is one in great proportion with our other enterprises. There are both veterans, still hanging on, and youngsters who have great aspirations for the future here in this camp. Some will succeed and some will fail just like in the general game of life.

Therefore It is our intention in writing for this column to stick to the policy, that if we haven't something nice to say about the players we'll say noth ing. Still we believe that will be news. Training Camp Gossip "FROSTY" PETERS, American Association umpire, and a football star in his day at the University of Illinois is here and will work the exhibition games in which the tribe will appear. "Frosty" was a great, field goal kicker during his gridiron career and Is still an ardent fan. He saw the Indiana-Illinois game at Champaign last fnll in which Bo McMillin's men started their "big ten" championship drive.

-i- THE OLD WAR HORSE of the Tribe, Gil English, is still all of that. He hustle a long on tho Held a any of tho youngsters, works hard and I a mighty line example for Hurwcll's crew. A BIG HUSKY left-handed pitcher on the squad is Sam Foxx, who is a brother to the famous Jimmy Foxx. The two resemble each other very much. AN INDIANAPOLIS visitor at today's practice was Ed Ililge-nicier, who motored over from his father's cottage, located at Astor, on the St.

John's River. Tliey plan on attending the exhibition game with Washington here Sunday. -t- THE BASEBALL PARK is along No. 92 highway and bears a big sign which snys, "Winter home Indianapolis Indians." IT WAS A LONG grind for the athletes today, morning practice and a scrub game in the afternoon featuring the training activities. ONE OF THE BOYS here with the Indians and well remembered by the fans at home is Joe Bestu-dick, third sacker.

lie has been playing in the service and still hits mighty hard from either side of the plate. THREE OF THE TRIBE pitchers in camp are well over the 6-foot mark. The trio Include We Flower, southpaw, Rex Cecil, last year with Iouisville, at 6 feet 2 inches, and Paul Derringer, down from the Chicago Cub, at 6 feet inches. Steve Rachunok, the big Russian, has them all topped at 6 feet 4 inches, however. -t- -t- JOHNNY RIDDLE, the veteran catcher who was with Cincinnati last season, is of the opinion that young Earl Turner, another receiver with the Tribe, will be the real standout of the rookies in attendance.

The kid hits and throws well. ONE OF IHRWELL'S biggest problems is to find a regular position for Bob Fletcher, infielder, who went bark from Indianapolis to Nashville and set the league on fire with his hitting. He batted .843 for the Southern Leaguers. What held him back in the A.A. was his fielding.

IT IS A REGULATION park where the Indians are training 350 feet down the foul lines to both left and the right field fences and 400 feet to center. Billy urges Is Given Unconditional Release Fort Lauderdale, March 21 (JP) Veteran Shortstop Billy Jurges was released unconditionally today by the Boston Braves. Jurges, picked up by the Tribe after being released by the Giants, had been looked upon as a utility infielder whose experience would have been helpful with younger ball players. Pitchers Johnny Gorman and Jack Early, who never had been signed to Boston contracts, were released outright. Infielder Tommy Nelson, bought two years ago along with Shortstop Dick Culler for $40,000 from Mil-waukee, also was released.

BOB BRADY Catcher Bob Brady and Outfielder Chester Wieczorek were added to the Indianapolis Indians' roster as the result of a deal by President Ownie Bush and Vice-President Frank McKinney with the Boston Braves, it was announced here yesterday by Treasurer Al Schlensker. Brady was obtained on option and Wieczorek through purchase of his contract. Twenty-four years old, Brady was the Indians' first string catcher last year. He hit .282 and drove in 63 runs. Wieczorek, recently returned from Army service, was with Columbus in 1943 when he batted .328, collected 31 doubles, three triples and nine home runs and took second honors in the league in runs batted in with 97.

He is 29 years old. The pair will report this week end to Manager Bill Burwell at the De Land (Fla.) training camp of the Indians. Both players are reported in good condition as the result of working out with the Braves at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Tr LARRY MacPHAIL ened by MacPhail for each absent day "just won't stick." "I don't know what the fine would be, but I will not report rather than pay it," asserted Ruf-fing, who rejoined the Yankees last June after two and a half years in the Army Air Force which, he said, dulled his liking for flying considerably. Perspiring from a workout in the University of Chicago Field House, Ruffing, who will be 42 in May, said "I told Larry I was tired of flying and didn't want to see another plane for five years."
