INDIANS STEP OUT WHEN JACK GIVES HOLIDAY Fishing, Joy-Riding and Courtin’ Main Attractions of Day. ROUNDING UP WELL OUTFIELDER OBTAINED. ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.. March 26. Outfielder Emerick, a player obtained from the Phillies, will report at the Tribe camp, Satu-day or Sunday, ready for trial, according to word received by Manager Hendricks from Manager Cravath of the Phillies today. Emerick was obtained bv the Indians to take the place of Callahan, who was .purchased from the Phillies some time ago, but refused to report unless paid a bonus. The new player is a youngster with plenty of speed. He bats right handed and throws from his port side. By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.,'March 26. Oh boy. Som£ picnic. Today was a holiday for the Indians. Manager .Tack Hendricks decided that the Hoosiers needed a recess. He announced the Tribe was free to fish or fool away the fleeting hours any fashion they saw fit. And at the rate some of the followers of Walton went today, the finny tribe of the tropical waters about St. Petersburg will be depopulated before the week is out. Many of the Indians went Joy- riding. Some of them dolled up and went calling. All of them enjoyed the day of rest after a brisk spell of spring training. “They are rounding np well.” said Hendricks, “and I believe that the day will help the morale of the squad,” in explaining the occasion of the holiday. The monotony of the training grind was, therefore, broken by the aay off, and every member of the Indian squad expressed bis joy for the opportunity to gambol—(hold on, there, w f ne. don’t get this wrong, g-a-m-b-o-1 and g-a-m-b-l-e. Please consult N. Webster). MAT GET NEW FIELDER. Anew outfielder Is supposed to be on the way to Join the Indians, a deal having been entered Into by the Tribe bosses and the Philadelphia Nationals. This information was handed out when It was learned that Leo Callahan, purchased from the Phillies some time ago, but who refuses to report because of a demand so-r bonus money, was to be replaced bv another gardener from Manager Cravath. "Gavvy 6ays this new man is a young roan and a better all-round athlete than Callahan,” explained the Tribe's manager. Hendricks said he lost no time wiring for the new player to report, and if he shows up the Tribe will be about all set in the garden posts. CASET DEAL CALLED OFF. Late yesterday Manager Hendricks called off the aeai for Joe Casey of the Cincinnati Reds, because crafty Pst Moran refused to relinquish the re-us on the youthful son of Erin. When the deal was first put up to Hendricks he accepted it under the impression that Casey would be handed over with a clear title, but Moran later staled that he desired to send the young backstop under an optional agreement. Owner Smith does not want players with "strings” tied to them. However, with Jack Leary available later, and presuming that he will Join the club In June, the Indians will be well fixed in the outer-greens with Gossett, Henline and Leary. PITCHING STAFF BOTHERS BOSS. The heavers' department continues to be the big gnat In Hendricks’ managerial eye Just now. Wires have been burned up trying to secure S. O. R. aid. The Giants wired today the market was cleared out as clean as a licked platter at present. The Reds also have f.uled to offer anv encouragement in material. The bait set for Bressler was not grabbed up by the Reds, whose manager. It appears, desires to retain this southpaw because of other bids from major leaguers, who entered the market when the Indians sought to secure him. Thus, at present, the Tribe’s h'Erling staff consists of Cavet. Crum and Rogge, with Adams and youthful Murray excellent possibilities. CUBAN'S CANCEL SECOND BATTLE. When the seeoud game of the Cuban Stars series was called off yesterday by the islanders, the Indians staged a practice game with a number of Rt. Petersburg “pick-ups,” composed of high school stars and underbrush leaguers. Os course It was a runaway for the Tloosiors, but they were benefited by the running and hitting HEN’S LET TWO GO. PADUCAH, Ky., March 26.—Roger Bresnahan, Mud Hen boss, returned to camp Thursday after what he called a successful scouting trip.
