Fourteen City Amateurs Sign to Play League Ball
Youngsters Pulled From Amateur Association Bushes— Flint Gels Five. OTHERS HAVE OFFERS George Orme Gets Chance to Break Into Association With Milwaukee. By CHARLIE LOGAX. It is a mighty good thiDg for the Indianapolis Amateur Rasebnll association that the Indianapolis amateurs develop fast, otherwise this city would he hard pushed for starlight sand-lottcrs during the coming season. The last season was such a successful one in Indianapolis and so many clever youngsters tramped th-' municipal diamonds that the bush league bosses gave the Indianapolis amateur world a lot of attention when they started rounding up tbelr 1920 squads, and as a result a whole raft of lads from here are going to take their first steps to the front in professional baseball during the next few weeks. At the present time, fourteen players who battled In amateur circles last season have signed contracts to play with hush league teams, particularly the dubs In the Michigan-Ontario loop. Several other denis are hanging fire and it is believed that more than thirty players will leave here before the season closes. Some of the boys are even trying to be holdouts before thev get started. MILWAUKEE W ANTS “NEWLY" ORME. George Orme is the local player who has the best cbauce to go up. and go np in a hurry, at this stage of the game. Orme. one of the hardest hitting and surest fielding garden players that has been turned out in this city for several years, probably will cast his lot with the Milwaukee Browers before the sea •on opens. He played with the Flint team of the Michigan-Ontario circuit last season, and according to reports received from that city during the last few days he has been sold to the Milwaukee Brewers. However. Orme stated yesterday that he has not yet come to terms with Milwaukee, and he does not know at this time whether lie will pla;tbere or not. Orme lias been playtng amateur and semi-pro ball throughout the state for several years and this is not the first chance he- has bad to cop s berth in the American association Money troubles kept him out of pro fcssional hall last year When the season opened he was dragging in plenty of shekels and the A. A. bosses couldn't reach his price. He did not join the Flint club until late in the season, bui went great for the few weeks he was with the outfit. FIVE LOCALS ONBAT CITY TEAM. They got a taste of Indianapolis talent In the Michigan-Ontario loop last year, and they are coming back for a double dose this seaeon. Bay City has signed five locals. Joe Meo, Itay Schott, Bill Whaley, "Bast” Mattern and Johnny Noonan, and the fans at that city believe they have a championship team. And why shouldn’t they? It will be hard to find a better battery In the league than Noonan and Matteru will make. "Bab” is about as clever as they come, behind the bat, and, twirling to him. Johnny should go great against the batters in the loop. Meo covers either short or thrld base and Whaley and Schott are booked for outfield jobs. Pitcher “Red” Hayes and Ollie Trefry are signed to report at Flint. Mich , next week. Red tore things- up in the Michi-gan-Ontario circuit last season and the Flint fans will welcome him back this year wilh open arms. Trefry plays around the second sack. He is a fast fielder and for some time has held his place among the heaviest hitters in the state. Reagan Naney and George Braughton

Most of the youngsters who have, signed for service in the bush league will U-ive Indianapolis during the early part ol next week. In the meantime a few others will probably affix their official signatures to contracts The lads are all determined to make good and tbe fans who have seen them perform around town are confident that they will.

INDIANS MEET REDS IN FIRST GAME OF SERIES
Fighting Tribesmen Eager to Take Champs Down the Line. O’MARA IS IN LINEUP By EDDIE ASH. Times Sports Editor. MIAMI, Fla., March 19.—Big Chlet Jack hurled his fighting Indians at the world champion Cincinnati Reds here today in the first of their three-game series. The Hooslers were not posting their season’s coin on taking the Reds down the line, but they are In good condition afteir a week’s boiling out under Florida sun. anil confident of taking at least one of the battles. Tbe Indians and Reeds meet here in twjj games todsy and tomorrow and then the Indianapolis contingent w/lil take Pn% Moran and his gang to St. Petersburg for the final scrimmage on Monday afternoon. Although Ollie O’Mnra is awaiting word from his wife before affixing his official John Henry to a Tribe contract. Manager Hendricks and Owner Smith are confident that they can hold him at the third cushion and he was expected to work there in the game today. O’Mnra is believed to have a grand offer from an industrial team but he refuses to pass out any “Info” until hearing from the lady of the house. It looked like the remainder of the Infield positions would be held by Schreiber, Wolf and Covington. Dutch Zwilllng and Sbinnert are the only garden men with the outfit a'd Minager Hendricks had Lorg. an infielder. booked for duty at'one of the far stations. That Catcher Dick Gossett hua not shaken bis last season’s Jinx was proven in Wednesday's scrap with the Washington team, when a foul tip split his thumb. The injury is not a dangerous one, but Hendricks is not taking any chances with his men being held out of the regular season games with cuts and bruisea that were not given proper attention, so the peppery Henline lad was slated to receive the slants of Murray and Crum, who were on the books for mound work. KKDft PROMISE PITCHING AID. Manager Hendricks eonfeerred with August Herrman today and was promised pitching aid when the Rods start to "clean house” Owner Smith announced that the Indians would remain at Sr. Petersburg as was originally planned. There was some talk of the Tribe fin ilshlng training either at Tampa, Fla, or Macon, Ga., but the St. Pcterburg people got busy making Improvements on the diamond, and as tho weather there is ideal for training, the original program will stand Manager Hendrick* will book a few game* at Miami, however. The weather here Is of the Hoosler raid-summer brand, and two games on the Red’s first class diamond should go a long way toward putting the Indians In shape. Before the game today. Bill Uariden and Eddie Roush, native sons of Hoosier dora, visited tho Tribe dugoot for a friendly call. Eddie and Bill are look lng great and apparently ready for an other brilliant season, WINTERS, NORMAL CAPTAIN.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.. March 19. Tex Covington and Eddie Zxvilling deal out severe punishment to the right field fence at Moorefleld park, spring home of the Indians. A practice hardly goes by that does not see one of these sluggers bounce one or more drives off the right field fence. Hank Schreiber is no slouch as a distance bitter and he sends some long drives to left center and over the short left field fenPe. Gossett also is there with the long punch. The rookie crop with the Tribe this year is not brilliant and it is not likely that any of the youngsters will be kept long, unless it be Outfielder Sblnners. Second Baseman Long and Pitcher Ferrell need more experience In smaller minor leagues, though the latter hps plenty of stuff and may be able to stick with the Hooslers if he settles down to serious work. -3 • Cal Crum was telling about what a good winter he 'spent. “So you passed e good winter, eh?" said Hendricks. “Well, I'm not interested in that. What I want to know la what bind of a summer you are going to have." Steve Ferrell has a terrible time doing things right, but he is there with the alibi -under any and all circumstances. He requested the players to cease calling him Hick, so they hare named him "Long Shot." Louis Wolf is determined to land a regular berth on the infield if work will do it and at the pace he Is setting the other lnfleldera will have to step lively to keep him on the bench. He reported in fine shape and the southern hookworm can't find a place to light in his anatomy. "Long Shot” Ferrell puts his spikes on wrong and he has difficulty’ in uavlgatiug. One of tho Indians asked him if it did not prevent him from runnlffg fast and Ferrell replied that "he didn't know' because he had never tried to run fast.” Southerners still move slowly. Even the telegraph office in St. Pete does not open until 8 a. iu. Manager IlendrlckK asked the clerk at the Edgewater to order a tax! at 8 o’clock one morning recently and the clerk replied that It was too early for the taxi men to be up. A Jitney dance catches tbe crowd here In the evenings. Trainer Morgan of the Indians Is a consistent performer on the waxed floor and he swings a mean hoof. George Lemaux, president of the board of public works at Indiannpoll*. who is vacationing In St, Pete. Is a raldd base ball fan and attends many of the prattles sessions. A guest at the Edgewater asked Mrs. Lemnux If her husband was a minister and George had to stand for a lot of kidding from the players. Rnbe Marquard who is training with the Brooklyn duo at Jacksonville, still remembers his Indianapolis days and he asked to be remembered to a number of old Indianapolis friends when the Indians visited the Dodger camp recently. Catcher Otto Mltler. an Indianapolis boy with the Brooklyn team, has been appointed battery r.i ach by Manager Robinson. This Is Miller's eleventh sea son with the Dodgers. The rroe< car* in St. Pete run every half hour. The walking is good. *— Karl Adams is the chief fisherman of tho Tribo party, and he is an honest fisherman, nerer I-orating of the fish that got away. Owner Smith Is keen on fresh tish. ts someone makes the catch. 1 Mayor 41 Lang is s baseball mayor and has served two terms as a result of his activity In getting the city publicity through baseball channels. He came here

from Pittsburg ten years ago and has amassed a small fortune in real estate and other ventures. Duke, the tobacco “kink.” has an expensive home here. Wonder if he “rolls his own?” The chief of police of St. Pete is an admirer of Jerry Kinney, head of the Indianapolis police department. When asked if he ftad much trouble with thieves and other crooks he said the clty r wasn’t bothered much. "When we Jail a crook, black or white," he said, "we keep ’em in jail until they serve their time. No pardoning goes.” Tourists here are given as much protection as possible. Two detectives are brought down from the north each tourist season, one who Is acquainted with the crooks of the west and one who is familiar with the dips of the east.
