COLUMBUS, April 2« .--Manager Hendrick* today said a deal was almost completed for another young pitcher now with a major league team In the east. He said he could not make public the name at tMs time. The tribe boss is feeling better over the pitching problem, now that he] has bought Jesse Petty from Clave land and Jimmy Lynch, a youngster from the Boston Red Sox. With Cavet, Rogge and Murray, the tribe is in fair shape to continue the trip until other pitcher* arrive. President Smith, of the tribe, is In Pittsburg today to take action against Cal Crum, tribe pitcher, who jumped hi* contract to go with the ateel league. If necessary Smith will ask a legal restraining order preventing Crum from pitching for Bethlehem.

Stsuap la Pusllag.

The slump of the Indians is even more pussling following the performance of Murray in yesterday's game, which the Senators won, 3 to 1, with three hits against eleven made by the Indians. While Murray was largely responsible for losing the game because of his wildness and hitting two batters, he proved himself a pitcher who can develop into AA class. However, there was some loose playing behind Murray which was not encouraging to the youngster. Manager Hendricks was pleased at the work of Ralph Shlnners, the recruit outfielder, who made two hits and drove in the only tribe run in the fourth inning I^ouie Wolf also contributed two of

the tribe's hits.

After the Indians had made* their single run off three hits in the fourth the Senators tied the score with a run made when Schrleber made a poor throw to the plate to head off Magee. In the sixth Inning the Senators got three on base with two out, Murray being responsible by making a poor throw on the third man. He then walked Bescher and forced in a run. A pass, sacrifice, an error and a double steal gave the Senators their third tally in the seventh frame.

PLAN BIG OPENING OF THREE-I AT EVANSVILLE

EVANSVILLE, Ind., April 28.—A tentative lineup of ^he Evansville baseball team for the opening game of the Three-I League season here Thursday with Rockford has been outlined. Although not yet settled as to his permanent lineup, Lew Groh, manager of the Evansville team, said that with the arrival of Kruger he would at least be able to arrange his array for the touch-off battle. The first day outfield will be composed of Loftus, Bashang and Burst. Lothes will hold down first base, Meyers second, Groh short and Kru:er third. Young will do catching

uty.

The pitching assignment will remain uncertain until the day of the game, Groh said Tuesday. The weather conditions and the condition of the slabmen will determine it. Opening day plans under preparation by President Asplan call tor a parade and demonstration with a band, to be headed by the Elks—always among the most loyal fans. Several factories and other concerns are considering declaring a half
