WILLIAM C. PHILLIPS. Manager Indianapolis ball team. PHILLIPS OPTIMISTIC OF HIS TEAM'S SUCCESS lie Expects All of the Players Now Holding Out to Sign in a Few Davs. WILL HAVE GOOD DATES William C. Phillip?, more familiarly known as "Big Bill," who will manage the Indianapolis baseball team this season, arrived In the city yesterday, and will romain here during the rest of the year. The coming of Phillipe, and Incidentally warmer weather, which put In an appearance the Fame day, reminds the fans that it is only three weeks until the players will reoAjqi jd.o anm xi tVtO puu aa.ii i.uxl weeks until they will ht;;r the merry swat of the bat at Washington park In the first exhibition game of the season. Manager Philipps brought no new signed contracts to the city with him, but he is beaming full of confidence and as optimistic as a person with no cares. "None of the players with the Indianapolis team last year has sent in his signed contract, but we are not worrying ov r the matter just yet." declared Manager Phillips. "Some of them have refused to sign for the salary offered them, but they will eome to time before the preliminary season opens, and will be on hand for the spring training. I expect to receive Magoon's signed contract this week, and as thf days roll by the mails will bring the contracts with the autographs of other players attached. "I have enough players signed now for a pretty fast team, but. of course, some of the best men on the reserve list are holding out. All the youngsters that have be. n signed have good reputations, and every one will be given a thorough trial, no matter if all the old men show to be in the best of condition when they arrive. The Infield this year will be fast, while the outfield will be composed of better hitters than the one that represented Indianapolis last season. The pitching staff will be the best in the American Association, and the backstop department will be up to the standard, as we will have Heydon and Id slie. I also have signed a youngster named Henry Ortlieb. of Allegheny, for trial behind the bat. He played hurt year with the Niles team, and is a good hitter." Phillips is in good condition himself, and says he will be able to take his regular turn I the box. President Ruschaupt will attend the schedule meeting In Chicago Sunday. Ho says that Indianapolis will fare all right this season. Indianapolis will have Decoration day and Labor day at home. Tho Western clubs will open in the East with Minneapolis probably at Indianapolis. A full series will be played in the East, and then the Eastern clubs will go West. The Westert! clubs will play among thera lv. s and the Eastern clubs among themselves during all holiday series. As the schedule will provide for 1.14 games, the first two series will be for four games each, and the last series for three games. Indianapolis will be schedubd for eleven Sunday games at home, but tht?se will not be played. The Sunday games scheduled here with LotlUH vllle, Columbus. Toledo and Milwaukee will be transferred to those cities for other dates. As no double-headers will be allowed on the first trip, only one on the second and two on the last, it is doubtful if the full quota of games allotted to Indianapolis can be played, unless the club has a good break with the weather. STERX AXD KOERXER WILL BOX SIX ROUXDS Xoblesville Lad Will Be Seen in the Scmi-Windup Cole and Emig Matched. Eddie Stern, of Noblesville, who has been fighting at Chicago for several months, and George Koerner, the Indianapolis lightweight, were matched y. sterday to box six rounds in connection with the Indianapolis Athletic Club ? all-star programme of bouts to be given next Wednesday evening at th" Auditorium. This is the match that has I.e. n hanging fire for several days. They will go six rounds for a decision, and it will be the semi-windup to Austin Rice, of New London, Conn., and Tony Moran. of New York. Stern was seen in this einlast year, when he boxed a six-round draw with Jack Cullen. Since that time the Noblesville lad h-:- Improved steadily, and has defeated Battling Nolson and Ole Oleson. Koerner has b-en in trailing for several days. The club has also matched Freddie Cole, of Alexandria, and Ivid Emig. of t'olumbus. Emig is under the care of Jack Rush, the man who brought out Kid McCoy. They will go six rounds for a decision," and the bout should be a lively one. The club has decided to make the admission at popular prices, 50 cents, 75 cents and 51. and the advence sale of seats will open next Monday morning at Dallas Tvler s, 12 West Market street. It is estimated that riearly 3oo men from Noblesville will .be at the ringsi.;. . . U. AXD XOTRE DAME READY FOR BIG MEET Special to the Indianapolis Journal. XOTRE DAMS, Ind.. March . The track squad of Notre Dame did its lFt work before the meet with Indiana on Friday this afternoon when Coa-h Holland ran the men through their distances. The showing made by the various entries in the events was not as faverabl - as micht be hoped for. While Notre Dame has been nlmost counting on winning the shot-put under all eir-cunit-t.-inces. the way thüt Captain Draper WM putting the weight to-day Is not an indication of winning form. Toner is a good second, but that is all that can be expected from him. The chances nre that Ray. Indiana's man in this ev rit. will give Draper a close run. The forty yards promises to be a pretty contest between Silver and Martin. Indiana's star rprinter. The pole vault has been conceded to Indiana since Prior has been forced to drop out of It on account of his class standing. The mile and the two mile are to be two of the prettiest races of the meet. Murphy, Notre Dame's freshman, who is covering hims.-lf with glory in th try-outs, and tm exp -rienced distance runner liaitly. of Indiana. sem to be very evenly matched. On the whole the men seem to be very evenly matched and the meet is expected to be a very hotly contested one. DAX R. WILL BE TRAINED AT THE LOCAL TRACK John Splann, the famous horseman, has closed a contract with the State Fair Association to train his stable of horses t the Indianapolis track this spring, and tin will bring his entire stable to this city .larch 15. He will train and race Dan R., 2:01-t, lor M. Z. Rudy, of Yurktown, lud.
