NEW HURLER ADDED TO INDIANS* STAFF IN DEAL ARRANGED WITH NEW YORK NATIONALS
STAR PITCHER PURCHASED FOR TRIBE FINISH Sterling Stryker, Former Hen, Obtained From Giants for Immediate Work. OTHER DEALS COMING Tbs Tribe axeeutiT* mhchinery 1 runfull blast these days and the fans •re doe to see new taoee and hear about ®ew deala front now on, according to Vice President Smith. following the annotraeement yesterday that Outfielder Vandyke and Pitcher Lynch, both youngatere, had been obtained for fall trials, came the word today that Pitcher Sterling Stryker has been purchased from the New York Giants for immediate delivery. Stryker is not a stranger to American Association fans, having hurled for Toledo the first half of the season, but he comes to the Indians via New Tors, us John McGrnw hat owned the twlrler tor a couple of seasons, and It was from McGraw that Vice President Smith bought the player today. Htryker is a youthful right-hander of known Class AA ability and the Hooslers are fortunate in getting him. He is young, but experienced, and that means that he can go right In and take his regular turn on the mound and aid the Indians’ try for a fast finish this season and also a fast start next spring. The coining of Stryker bolsters the Iloosler pitching staff to a point where it is taking on the appearance of being us good as any in the league, thongn it is understood that Charlie Whitehou-ie Erobably will figure in a deal whereby e will get another chance In the majors. The Tribe has four players that have attracted inquiries from the big leaguo scouts and Owner Smith and Manager Hendricks hare been debating over the offers for the last two weeks, it is said. The stars in question are said to be Whitehouse, Henline, Rogge and Shinners. .. , . Shinners hardly will be permitted to ■rat away for another season, at least, out Whitehouse, Henline and Rogge may get the chance. Shlnners feels that it would be to his advantage to remain tn the association one more season and he's probably correct in his opinion, because he surely will attract larger offers next year if he continues to improve. Jack Hendricks has bis Hooslers In top form for the series opener with the Champion Saints here tomorrow and all of the athletes are filled with a desire to mop up on Mike Kelley’s speeders. The Saints will he here four days and then the Millers. Brewers and Blues will come In order. With this schedule offered the late season baseball in Indianapolis will provide plenty of entertainment for the fans and also give them some Idea of how the various teams will stack up next yeßr because during the coming windup davs all clubs will be using future greats picked up froth the smaller minor fields for tryouts.
No Advance in Prices for Babe Ruth Event in City Next Wednesday
Many fans apparently have formed the opinion that admission prices for the Babe Ruth same at Washington I’-irk on next Wednesday have been boosted, but that is not the case. When Vico President Smith arranged the big event for Hoosler baseball followers he did not plan a profiteering stunt, but merely scheduled the exhibition between the Yuukcce and the Indians in order to give supporters of the Indianapolis ’Club an opportunity to see of the King of f-'wat in action as n mark of'appreciation for thetr patror.age at the Tribe games tills season. Therefore .the fans that got in early for seat reservations reaped the benefit, but there are many sea’s left, some even of the choice variety. Os course tilt box seats sn-pped up early, but the park officials still have a few reserved pasteboards left in the left side of the grandstand. In addition temporary bleachers will be erected in right field, increasing the seating capacity about 3 000. Also, there will be plenty of general admission tickets available, grandstand, field and bleachers, and. of course, the fans who get on the Job early will obtain the choice ones of Urls lot. An Immense crowd surely will attend the game and all Washington Park attendance records are due to be s:u.:shed. Babe Ruth's boys' band from Baltimore aiso will be here to aid in the festivities The game will start at 54:4-“, but the majority of fans are planning to get out early in order to see Ruth swing his bats in practice. Stiff Practice Carded for Independent Squad The Indianapolis Independent eleven will run through a stiff practice under the direction of Coach A1 Feeney at Fall creek and College avenue tonight and It is requested that all players report not later tevn 7:3© o’clock The Independents wii* practice again Sunday morning, after which Feeney will look around for the men who are to start in the opening game of the season at Shelbyville the following week, if that game is accepted. Plays tonight will be called by signals, which will be explained before the practice session opens, and It is important that aU players report early.

PREMIER CLUB OFF FOR FLINT Ready to Beat Buicks in National Semi-Finals. The Premier Motors, champion amateur ball tossers of Indianapolis, left last night for Flint, Mich., where they meet the Buick 38 Club, Flint champs, in the semi-final round of the national amateur championship tournament Saturday and Sunday. One game will be played Saturday and two Sunday. The members of the Premier team making the trip are: Capt. Johnny Gaalema, Dolly Gray, George Broughton, Bob Ellis, Walter Strahl, Charles ' Shaefer. Harry Barnhart, "Red'’ Steinmetx, Harry Hardy, Harry Hansen, Karl Shafer, Elmer Brown, "Rabbltt” Ited- ■ mond and "Babe'' Adams. The players were accompanied by Business Manager ‘'Hank” Harris, It. Walter Jafvla, president of the I. A. B. A., and several officers of the Premier Motor Car and Vehicle Corporation. FIRST TIME IN SEMI-FINALS. This Is the first time in history that an Indianapolis team has reached the semi-final round of the national tournament and the players themselves were full of pep and confidence when they departed last night. The club is without doubt the strongest ever orginized in the I. A. B. A., and officials of that organization feel that "this is the year.” It Is a cinch that If the Buicks trim the Premiers they are going to show Flint fans some great aandlot baseball. In the field the local club this year played at the top of the amateur standard. No mofe than a dozen errors have been chalked up against them for the entire season. The infield, composed of Harry Hansen, "Red" fUelnmetz. Harry Barnhart and Charlie Schaefer. Is about as much of a "stone wall" as anything that has romped on an Indianapolis ainstuer field hi several years, and the outfield, composed of George Broughton. Johnny Gaalema and Dolly Gray, is us classy as the Infield machine. The batting averages or the Individuals range from .437 to .243. MOUND STAFF LOOKS GOOD. As far as pitching Is concerned the Premiers vs ill tip their hats to the Buick throwers 1/ they can show anything more than the veterans Brown, Redmond and Adams, with Earl Shafer or Strahl behind the plate. The winners of the Butck-I’remler series meet the winners of the ClevelandColumbus serfies in a throe-game battle, the place to be decided later, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 24 and 25.
