SMITH AND HENDRICKS VISIT CHICAGO AND BID FOR PLAYERS WITH CUBS AND N Y. GIANTS
HURRIED HELP NECESSARY TO SAVE INDIANS Collapse of Pitching Staff Calls for Extreme Measures by Club Officials. EVEN CAVET CRACKS AFTER CUBS AND GIANTS. CHICAGO. Mav 19—Owner Smith anil Manager Hendricks of the Indianapolis baseball club were In Chicago today to, open negotiations with the Chicago Cuba and New York Giants for players. Smith and Hendricks dropped off here while traveling with the team from Kansas City to Minneapolis and they seized the opportunity to attempt to pick up two pitchers and an outfielder. No names bare been, mentioned in connection with anv deal with Cuba or Giants, however. Smith and Hendricks also visited ident Hickey of the American association. Evidently a panic has struck the Indians. The collapse of the pitching staff has thrown consternation into the ranks of the club, due to the fact that no matter how hard the team hits or how many' runs It chalks up, the opposition is banded games through lack of efficient work in the Tribe box. Extreme measures to check the backsliding Hoosi**rs, no doubt, have been decided upon by Owner Smith and Manager Hendricks, but how soon aid will come Is not known. CLUB OFFICIALS CONFER IN CHICAGO. The Tribe owner and manager were in Chicago today and Secretary Clauer also was so it is evident that the club officials have something up their sleeves to halt the downward spin the team has taken. It Is needless to say that the Indians will be In the A. A. ceilar in a very abort time unless they get pitching that can bold up in this league. Dropping three out of four to the Kansas City Blues has been a terrific blow t> the club, especially that last game yesterday in which Mainstay I’ug Cavet cracked. Cavet had beaten the Blues last Satt rday and there was every likelihood that be would 1 repeat yesterday, but evident--1 ■ he caught the sinking spirit from the other members of the Tribe staff.

HALL TO .JOIN THE TRIBESMEN. Manager Hendricks completed a deal for Pitcher Herb Hall, whereby Hall will join~tbe Indians in a trade for Pitcher Cal Crum. Crum Jumped the Tribesmen some time ago. bat it is said that be is ready to return to organized baseball. Therefore, If the Biuas can get him info their fold. Hail will don a Tribe uniform. In the K. C. windup game yesterday Cavet permitted only two hits the first five innings, but in the sixth he started to blow. The Indians had a two-run lead up to that time. With two out in the sixth and two Blues on the paths. Brief crashed one Into the bleachers for the circuit, three runs scoring. \ The Indians showed their fighting spirit, however, and took the lead again. A to 3, by counting a brace of markers R the seventh. They held the lead until 'the eighth when Cavet went to pieces again and the Blues slugged out two more runs and the victory. LATE RALLY FAILS INDIANS. The Tribe tried for a rally in the ninth and got two men on through hits, but the necessary punch was lacking. The Hoosiers outhit the Blues by a margin of two safeties, yet lost. It was Just another example of a team falling because of erratic pitching. Manager McCarthy of the Blues was injured in the eighth inning of the game "yesterday, when he received a broken nose while making a play at second base.. There is no question but jhat the Indians and Blues are having all the bad luck In the league. •' Around the A. A. —WITH EDDIE ASH— Pitcher Crum, not being with the Indians. and Pitcher Hall, not being with the Blues, were traded by Managers Hendricks and McCarthy. That's fair enough. All that remains now is for the two hurlers to agree to pitch. Jack Hendricks soon will he ready to write a book about his pitching staff. 7hr title will be: “Either Bead or Sleeping.’’ The Tribesmen got a day of rest <? today. They were not scheduled to play, hut not doubt their minds were burdened with the thought of wh:tf faces them in the Miller and Saint sepics. The Millers have won six straight games and the Indians must take 'em on Thursday. A cracked pitching staff was not enough bud luck to pile on Hendrirks. Outfielders Shinner* and Russell and Pitcher Petty are out temporarily l with * variety of ailments. Blues were sorry to see the Wier depart. Their 'stock will now slWii- again. The made it four straight over the Sena’ors. The rantlllonites tried to • boot" the game away, but the Senators refused to take it. Chuck Wortman had a miserable day at short for the Colonels and he bonded yesterday's game to the Brewers. Tincup got another homer for the Coloneis, but it ■as watted. Hens hopped on Overlook and him out of the box in the opening The Saints called on Browne to Roger's gang, but he failed. Dubuc l-Mgk the Saints only four hits.
