IIEWLIH AMD PHILLIPS CAME T0MU6BEEMEHT Pitcher Signed a Contract After a Long Conference with the Hoosier Manager. HOGRIEVER STILL OUT Only Member of Team That Has Not Yet Signed Club After an Outfielder. Fitcher Otto Xewlin and Manager Fhil lips had a long conference yesterday after noon, at the conclusion of which the "sun set haired" twirler attached his autograph to a contract to play with the Indianapolis tram this season. Newlin came to this city tnd reported when the first lot of players arrived, but had failed to sign a contract. The management believed he would sign as toon as he arrived, as he had written that he accepted the terms offered and no trouble was expected. Xewlin balked, however, and it was not until yesterday that ho fully realized the situation and agreed to 6!gn. Hogrlever Is now the only member of the team that has not signed. Manager Phillips has decided to wait until the first of the week, and If IIogrievr still refuses to accept the terms offered it is probable that another course will be pursued. The management is after a good outfielder, and may land two in the course of the next lew days. , Rossman and O'llara, of the Cleveland club, and Swander, of the St. Louis Americans, are the men particularly desired, and even if there is a chance to secure one, of them the purchase price will be high, as big league clubs are very t-hort now on good outfielders. It is hoped to close negotiations with St. Louis for Swander at once, so that he will Join the team in time for the practice games this week. Swander is a big fellow, and in the New England league last season made & remarkable record. Rossman may also be secured from Cleveland, and he would add strength tothe Hoosiers. lie batted nearly .400 in the Connecticut league last season. Manager Phillips says there is no question about the pitching staff, the backstop department or the inheld and if the outfield can be strengthened -as desired he will have a winning aggregation. In fact a team that will be stronger than any in the American Association, he believes. The players were given the first touch of real practice yesterday afternoon and as Manager rhillips told them not to take any chances "with their arms no "Charley Horses" have been reported. A game was echeduled with the Duesseldorfcrs, but owing to the poor condition of tne grounds and the lack of street car service It was called off. Phillips devoted his attention to the pitchers and outfielders, while Captain Magoon had charge of the practice work of the infiVld candidates. Both Phillips and Magoon are well pleased with the work of the intlelders and in addition to Dickey, Hess and Carr they spoke very highly of the work of Lindsay, a substitute Jnrtelder. Of the youngsters who are being tried for the outfield Marshall seems to be the most promising. Ortlleb is making an Impression behind the bat. President Ruschaupt returned yesterday from Pittsburg, where he signed Tom McCreery for the outfield. He said that McCreery will report here by Wednesday and widget into harness at once. Ruschaupt fays if he finds It necessary to strengthen the oatfleld that he will purchase the release of the best men that can be had. No time is being lost to close negotiations with Et. Louis and Cleveland for the men mentioned, as other clubs are after the same players. -f Weather permitting the Indianapolis team "will play( its first exhibition game of the season to-morrow with Purdue at Lafayette. On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the Detroit Americans will-be here and on next Saturday Buffalo comes lor one game.

PITCHER NEWLIN. GREAT RACING RECORD E BY S. C. He Is About to Begin . His ThirtyEighth Campaign After Purses and Stakes. BEGAN AT AGE -OF EIGHT MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 2. According to confessions made by S. C. Hildreth, ' a trainer and owner of .thoroughbreds, who has . raced up and down and around all parts of the American and Canadian racing continent, he is about to begin his thirtyeighth consecutive campaign', after . purses and stakes. As Hildreth admits to entering the turf arena at the tender age of eight, his long service can be easily calculated. Born in -Cunningham, Sheridan county, Missouri, Hildreth has shown winners year after year, and his experiences would fill many a chapter, in the: racing reminiscences or the past twenty-five years, embracing his career as a jockey, plater, hostler, trainer and owner of what has -always been looked on as one 'of the premier sta bles in training, East or -West.. Hildreth admits to "buncoing" his elder brothers in a horse. deal when living in Cunningham county. Ills father and elder brothers attended an auction sale of cattle. swine and thoroughbred stock. ,A longeared fi!ly was among the senior Hildreth's purchases and she resembled a mule so much in ears and tall that she was about to be given away when the baby brother pleaded for her. He was given the freakish-looking animal and immediately provided separate quarters for her. and commenced to ride and gallop her. Vincent Hildreth, father of the boys, had paid J1.500 for a filly by Blackbird about -that time, and shortly afterward when the two were trained together the senior Hildreth was surprised to notice the "mulish"-look-ing young miss finishing in front of his aristocrat in every trial. . It was another case, of the "lottery luck in . youngster purchasing," for . the highpriced juvenile was side tracked and the "mule was matched against Buckskin, a famous quarter horse in early Missouri turf history. The filly, ridden by Hildreth. was an easy winner and the real ..career of young Hildreth was started. At the age of fifteen. S. C. Hildreth was a fullfledged trainer, . and his boss was a native of Parsons, Kan., a Mr. Paris, who owned Jack. Pot, Juliet M. and Bingen. Alter tne deatn or 1'aris, Hildreth joined fortunes with an Illinois turfman, and campaigned at Quincy and other points along the "county, fair" route. -Probably nis nrsi engagement witn a norseman remembered by present day turf patrons was with ' Frank Weir. He later broke loose from Weir and -joined- hands with Tom Allen, of Illinois, with whose horses he . defeated the best that Weir sent aga(nst him. From the Illinois circuit Hildreth made his way to New Orleans and back to his native Missouri. He met with much of the turf . adversities all beginners meet with, but it never; caused him to quit trying. He finally landed in Keokuk. Ia.; with a filly. Miss Goddrick. who. after proving a disappointment. was traded for. a two-year-old that will be remembered by oldtimers as Tarn O'Shanter. Tarn O'Shanter was shipped to Washington Park, and turf records of the early eighties will show how Tarn O'Shanter was sent to-the post and was backed to. win the . $10,000 that was cleaned up on his victory at odds of 60 to 1. Later on Hildreth returned to New Or leans and -was taught the art of plating horses. With Colonel Gore, he made sev eral , winnings, and was ruled off by the New Orleans Association of those days for the-in-and-out running of a horse that was later to be found a notorious rogue of his own' account, which led to th-3 exoneration of. Hildreth and his restoration to all turf rights. ' ' , Baseball Items John Anderson hits the ball a mile every time he lands. Harry Bay, of the Clevelands, is just recovering from an attack of grip. Manager Grim has ordered his Marion team to report April ,4 for practice. This will be Jim McGuire's twenty-first consecutive season in a major league. McGraw will carry eight pitchers until he can determine where the Giants will land. Charley Hemphill has accepted a $600 cut In his salary and signed a St. Louis contract. Buck Freeman, of the Bostons, doesn't drink or smoke, but" his language is some times sulphuric. Charley Dexter, the new captain-mana ger of the Louisville team, will play third base this seasou. Charley Somers is quoted as saying that the team which beats New York out will win the pennaut. Bobby -Wood turned down every offer made by the Brewers and has returned to his farm at Glrard. O. This should be Ewlng's best season with the Utds. He -has as much speed now as he had at any time last year. Fourteen years ao Burkett. O'Connor and McAlecr played together. Now the trio are again with the same club. Omaha is really in the best shape of any of the Western League clubs, nearly all of the old players being back. It may be long after, the season opens before Christy 'Mathewsou Is able to' pitch. His arm is troubling him at present.' Captain Lajöi? says Cleveland will this season have a capable . shortstop whether the choice falls on Turner or Pastor.. There is Joy among the American Ieaguc fans in Chicago. Comlskey gives -if out that he will travel with the team this year. Director J. B. Billings, of Boston,' says that Grler will either play for' the mouey offered him by the Boston club or rest this season. . n Chif Charley Zimmer.-of the Phillies, says he is forty-four years old, .and. he has hopes of staying in the game long. enough to beat Anson's record. Manager Charley Nichols, of the St. Louis Nationals, says he would like to win the pennant this season, to add to the honor of holtllng the big fair in St. Louis. Pitcher .Bernhard believes there is nothing better than sprinting, and plenty of it, to fit a man for the bruising midsummer pace demanded of every major league player.

BIG AVAGERS ARE LAID WASHINGTON, April 2. The nerviest horse gamblers in America live out in that sylvan retreat whence Mary MacLane hails, Butte, Mont., said the owner of a string of thoroughbreds .'now being trained out at the-Bennings course. "I was taking lunch at a Butteclub one of the most sumptuous clubs ' in America, by the way one day last summer. The telephone in the grill room of the club was rigged to the place called in Butte" the 'Calling Off Joint a central headquarters, that is, where an operator calls off the results of the races all over the country, so that all hands with telephones can know the winners and practically the whole population of Butte plays the " ponies. The megaphone was-tacked on -to. the telephone, the first race at one of the New York tracks being about due. "It was a seven-furlong race, and the fast horse but notorious quitter. Demurrer, was iu the lead all the way, as the megaphone voice began bawling when the They're off cry was sung out. " 'Demurrer in 'the stretch by eight lengths!' came the voice through the megaphone. "A perky little chap with a white moustache, a big millionaire of Butte, hopped from his luncheon table seat and sung out at the top of his voice: " 'Bet any man In the house ten thousand, even, that Demurrer won't be one-two-three!" " Demurrer's a dog, but you're on called back a big man at the lower end of the grillroom, getting to hio feet the instant he heard the challenge. "He had no sooner taken the bet than the megaphone announced the names of the three placed horses, and Demurrer wasn't one of them. The big man strolled over to the little man's table with a grin, scribbled a check for $10,000 and walked back to his table, with the remark that that hound Demurrer already , owed him about $100,000 that he never expected' to get back. "I remarked to the man I was taking lunch with that that struck me as being a pretty nervy . transaction on the part of the little man, laying $10,000 against the in-the-money, chance of a horse with an eight lengths lead in the stretch, but he answered that was nothing. - " 'On the day of the Brooklyn handicap he said to me, a bunch of us were sitting around in here when the race was off. " 'You'll remember that that was a neck-and-neck race .between Gunfire and Irish Lad all the way. Well, when It was called off that Irish Lad was a head to the good in the stretch, we regarded it as a. cinch that Gunfire . would cop, for she was seasoned and keyed up after having run several swell race?, and it was Irish Lad's first time out last sea-son. . ".We all said then that Gunfire would just traipesky in. Well, d'ye see that little fellow over yonder with the wispy yellow mustache? He's the son of his dad, which means that - he's a bulldog on a gambling proposition. " 'You're -all stuck on Gunfire, hey?' he yelled, 'I'll lay every man In the room two to one, in any amount, that Irish Lad wallops . her.' t " 'It looked good, and we slammed IS0.000 worth of Gunfire bets at him before the megaphone got to singing again. : ".'He watched our fingers go up, indicating the amounts we wanted, said, 'You're all on and then the voice through the phone bawled: ." "'Irish Lad wins' " 'The kid was pretty nearly as nervy as the. horse running for him, and he won out on his nerve.' " for the Fans says that he received an offer of $300 a mouth from the Western League two years ago when the war started, but that he stuck to the Association for $225 a month. That is what he got last seasou. This season ne is cut down to $175 a month. Jesse Tanuehill says he has no idea why New. York traded him to Boston. He hotly resents the insinuation that he is a disor ganizes He attributes that to Pittsburg animosity. Things are beginning to clear a little at 'loiedo. according to the talk of Her man Long, who says he will fool some of tne laint-neartcd jet. Everybody wishes mm success. A project is on In Saginaw to have TV troit play Sunday games in thatcity. The transportation facilities are good, and with excellent hotels and grounds the scheme aoes not iook Dad. The St. Louis players have warmed up finely to the new manager, Charlev NlchoN. They say he has inaugurated a system of team work entirely different from that of ex-Manager Donovan. Manager Clymer. of Columbus, will have to pick out at least rive good ones from the following pitchers: Dorner, Berger, scou. uimsieau. uaguer, vasbinder. Glen don. MiJarkcy. Bonno, Wilmot, Snyder and liaray. Manager Cantillon, of the Milwaukee club, has the assurance of Charles Comls key, owner ol the Chicago hlte Stockings that he can have two infielders and two pitchers from among the new men on the White Sox roster by April 10.

Those who last year enjoyed the 2o-ceut admit tance will now have to dig down for half a dollar. President Havenor. of the Milwaukee club, says he wilt give $1.500 to any citizen of Milwaukee who will run his club this season; they to take all the monev and pay all the bills. Havenor figures that he has no chance to beat the game this sea son.

WISH ARD NOT IN HURRY: TO START HIS HORSES He Will Wait for Opening ' of Morris Park Before Racing Drake's Runners. NEW YORK, April 2.-Enoch Wishard will not start a horse belonging to the ex tensive stable of John A. Drake until the Morris Park spring meeting. One of his reasons for waiting is that he does not care to run the risk incident to'the hurried preparations, of good racers, and another is that Mr. -Drake may not be in the East before Metropolitan day. Wishard, who was always a patient waiter, said: "It's never a good scheme to be in too much of a hurry with racehorses., More good ones are either put out of business - or their earning capacity is cut in two by overhaste in the spring than in. any other way. I never could see why there, should be -so much haste in April and May.. The biggest money is hung. up during the summer and autumn meetings. It takes more-out of a horse . to prepare .them in "the spring than in the summer, and there-is. always more danger of their contracting pulmonary troubles owing to the sudden and 'Violent weather changes for which this part of the country Is famous. Wishard, after-looking the big handicaps over carefully, has come to the conclusion that the most nicely treated horse in them is Mike Daly's Claude. Claude is in both the Brooklyn and the Suburban under 105 pounds. He can't wear , a penalty in the Brooklyn because tnere are none, if Mike Daly can get him to the post fit the astute Westerner said he will win. "Taking a line through Savable, whom he beat at even weights in the American Derby, at Chicago, I don't see how any four-year-old here abouts can bother him. He has traveled from the East to the West, backward and forward, for upward of a ye.ir now and beaten gx)od horses everywhere. Apparently he is still a first-class horse. I cannot possibly understand why. Kavable snould be asked to concede fourteen pounds to him in the .Brooklyn and thirteen in the Sub urban. Savable is a good horse, and will, I believe, race creditably this year, but he is hardly shifty enough to do that." Wishard's horses are " still a bit rough looking. He did not take them up until about a month ago. It was the opinion of Mr. Drake that gallant little Jocund, the gamest two-year-old for his inches out last year, will make the best three-year-old in Wishard's string this season. Mr. Wish ard shares this opinion. Jocund has not grown a great deal in height, but he has filled out. He is a dead ringer for Mirthful, his sire, about the head and neck, , and Wishard feels sure that he will stay as far as the Hagioscope stallion did in 1S37 and 18D8. Jocund is in the American Derby, as are several of his stable companions, but it is hardly likely that Mr. Drake will have a representative In the great estern three year-old race. Wishard himself does not take kindly to the notion of shipping one or more good three-year-olds half way across the continent and back in debilitating midsummer weather. Neither does Mr. Drake Moreover, Wishard is not sure that the rac ing about Chicago will be up to the standard this year, owing to the unsettled legal status ol the sport In Cook county.
