Crandall’s Post Not Easy to Fill at Indianapolis.

Reports from Albany, Ga., the training camp of the Indianapolis A. A. club, indicate that Jack Hendricks is having difficulty in securing a second sacker to fill Kart Crandall’s shoes. Although several candidates have tried for the berth none seem to be as satisfactory as was the Goodland tosser, who became dissatisfied last fall, and at hjs own request, was sent to Salt Lake City in the Pacific Coast league. Crandall was as good a second baseman as the Indians ever had, but he was never fully appreciated at the capital. It was, perhaps, hie own fault, as»he was a quiet, unassuming player, and not noisy enough to suit the average baseball “bug.” ■ Crandall is now counted on as the regular keystone sack guardian for the Mormons, although he had considerable opposition at the training camp of the team and won the place over severa Icandidates. Another member of the Crandall family also will be found in the Pacific Coast, league thm season. Otis Crandall is on the hurling staff of Frank Chance’s Los Angeles “Angels.”
