JACK HENDRICKS. W. C. SMITH. The Indians enter the first Up of the American Association race Wednesday with fairly good prospects of winning the pennant. The club is a good one with an acknewledged weakness in the pitching department. This weakness will be remedied without a doubt. Two genuine sportsmen are in charge of the club, Wjlliam C. Smith, owner, and Jack Hendricks, manager. Both are popular in baseball and both are natural winners. Smith has a unique position in baseball in that he is popular with his players. His popularity footers a winning spirit and the players would rather win for Bill than eat. All fandom knows of the eagerness of Hendricks to win. It’s a splendid pair to draw to.
