BATTERY STARS ONLY NEED OF 1921 INDIANS Bosses Fire Calls for Help to All Comers of Baseball World. THUMP MACKS AGAIN By EDDIE ASH. Dally Times Sports Editor. CROWLEY, La.. March 2s.—Manager Hendricks put some warm deals on the wires today, warm to the extent that if they are consummated the Indians will .look much like the American Association pennant winners of 1921. For soma time Jack has been striving to bolster the pitching stall, but today he announced that he also means to bolster the catching department. In other words, the Tribe boss believes bolster his ttattery at both ends, and his prediction is that If he is successful there will not 5e any dissenting opinion regarding the itness of his squad to step out after the k. A. championship. "The outfield is sat. 'the Infield is set, low for the battery,” said Hendricks toiay. Thereupon he announced that he lad wired the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast League offering to trade riilf Brady, whom It is possible for him M obtain from the Boston Red Sox, in exchange for Pitcher Vic Aldridge, the Schoolmaster.” Aldridge lives In the Hoosier State and does not care co go all the way to Californio to play sail and. as he formerly graduated to the big leagues from the Indianapolis team, it Is believed that it would be a popular , Move if he could again be used In a Tribe i aniform. Brady was offered to tbe Iu- i Clans tentatively some time ago, but the deal was held up because of the announced retirement of Derrill Pratt. Now Boston comes along again offering Brady to the Indiana, but the Boosters cannot use him at this time, because the team already has six lnflelders and all are giving satisfaction. Howare:. the Indians will go after Brady for trading material, if Los Angeles will agree to give Aldridce In exchange. A few days ago Owner Smith offered cash for Aldridge, but the Coast club tamed the proposition down and made known a preference for a trade. This brought about a revival of the Cliff Brady deal and all the Tribe members are hoping that Los Angelea agrees to Hendricks’ latest proposition. MI ST FIND HITTING CATCHER. Regarding the Tribe catching situation. Hendriks was led to make the announcement that he ia in the market for another backstop by the failure of Leo Dixon to hit the ball. This youngster has demonstrated fine ability in every other way, but due to the fact that Gossett is not rated & heavy atlcker, it is necessary that the second Tribe catcher be able to swing a heavy willow. The Indian boss Is hopeful that Walfer Henline wtll be back from the Giants, and already Owner Smith has asked John McGrow to return Henline, if he fail* to atay In the big leagues. The Tribe directors are not trying to place any obstacle In Henline's big league path, but they want to be sure of getting him If ■ he is not retained by New York. The decision to be on the job if Hen- j line la turned back was reached by Owner Smith when It was noticed that McQraw had been using the former Tribe receiver with the Giants' aecond team. In case Henline is not obtained. Hen- i drinks has another deal In mind that would bring to the Indiana a catcher who is especially popular in Indianapolis. This player was in the American Association last season and despite a fine batting record, he was dropped to a league of lower classification for some unknown reason. Owner Smith la going to try another conference with McGraw at Mobile April 4 and, as It will be the third confab of the two this spring, something interesting may develop that will help the Hoo- , Bier pitching and catching departments, j Sterling Stryker went the fuli nine in- I ning* on the monnd Sunday; did not; allow a walk and shut out the mixed ! squad of Philadelphia Athletic rookies and regulars by a 4-to-0 score. The big ; right hander had burning st-eed and a ; •harp breaking curve and only once did I the Mackmen get a man as far as third base. It was an encouraging performance to Manager Hendricks as it as the first time any of the Tribe pitchers went th- entire route this spring. The Indians scored two runs In the fourth Inning and a Eecond pair in the elphtb all by clean -hitting. Shlnners end Schxeiber each got two hits and B-ilrd. Covington, Stryker, I.utzke aud Vandyke got on'* apiece. Baird got a home run and Shlnners and Lutzke triples. One of Scfcreiber’s hits was good for two bases and Hank also contributed some great work In the short field. A high powered wind marred the day and the attendance was small, but the game was fast nevertheless and the fans saw come flashv playing. In four games with the Athletics the Indians won two and tied two. which Is an achievement to be proud of. CLOSE WORK IN CROWLEY. The Indians were to take their final praetiee In Crowley today In a game between picked teams. Manager Hendricks balanced the sldeg to the beat of his ability and, aa a result a warm battle was Promised. It was the .last chance for rowley fans to see the Hoosiers In action Bad much local interest hid been worked up over the contest. Owner Smith promised to reward the winning team with gomethlng worth fighting for and the players were enthused to such an extent that some fear was felt that the pitchers would let out too much.- * Tuesday morning the Indians will pack up their toga for the denarture from Crowley shortly after noon. Farewells to new acquaintancea will be iu order among tbe ‘‘society bud” members of the aquad and a large going-away delegation la expected to be at the station to see the Indians disappear on the Southern Pacific •aatbonnd. The Tribe party is due to reach New Orleans Tuesday evening, where they will remain until Friday night. when they will tmove to Baton Ronge for two days. While ■n the Crescent cityj tbe Indians will >ngle with tfe* Brooklyn Dodgers in exHibitloii games" Wednesday and ThursBh. n

Pirates Should Get Away to Mean Start in National Battle Rapp’s Illness May Tear Foundation From Under McGrow’s Title Dreams. NEW YORK, March 28.—Pittsburgh’s chances in the National League race will bolt up into the favorite class if fate continues to shoot New York's infield. By some lax ruliug, It seems ordained that John McGraw can’t get a bombproof inner wall for his cluo. Goldie Rapp broke up what looked to be the makings of the classiest inside defense iu the major leagues when he went down with the ’ flu.” If the former St. Paul star has influenza or pneumonia McGraw might just as well start the process of elimination among his rookies If Johnny Evers knows anything about those maladies. ’’The flu or pusumouia just about finishes the career *f any baseball player. It ruined me, and I have watched other cases,” the Cub boss said h- ra last winter, when he was watching the light of the late George Gipp, Notre Dame University’s all-American grid man. With due sympathy tor the trials and hard luck of another, George Gibson can’t view the slow development of the New York and Brooklyn pitchers without some glee. In the casa of three such evenlymatched clubs, everything depends on a flying start, such as Uncle Wilbert Robl son got last season, but from the form shown by their huriers, neither McGraw nor Robby is fixed to burn up the circuit from the opener. Brooklyn came north last spring with the best conditioned team In the major leagues and a staff of pitchers that worked in July form under the chilly April breezes. McGraw brought a team to the wire, i wrecked by a long, tiresome barnstorm- ; ing trip. The club is wrecked this year by the same circus traveling aud a lot of Injuries. Pat Moran is doing well so far with what he has, but that isn't a lot, with Roush, Groh and Kopf 6till holding out. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Is sliding along without raising much dust. Unless Uibby runs into some hard luck he should 6tart the season with tbe best balanced and finest conditioned team In the race, and the start means a great deal.

BROWNS NOW READY TO STEP OUT

By SID KEEN, St, Louis Time* Sports Editor. ST. LOUIS, March 28—Discovery of probably a phenom for second base In Bill Gleason an dthe prospect of a tight pitching staff make the Browns a formidable candidate for this year's American League pennant. When Lee Fohl started his spring training at the Bogalusa camp, fie sighed when he looked In the direction of second base, where the shoes of Joe Gedeon yawned. There were three possible candidates- Gleason, a midget on the build of Eddie Foster from the Chattanooga Club; Dudley Lee, another- Liliputian from the Mobile Club, and Marty McManus, a former Chicago semi-profes-sional from Tulsa. Gleason, in two weeks, has convinced Fohl that he is capable of holding down the sack. With second base apparently covered in major league style, the question with the Rrowns turns to pitching. If the pitching holds up and it has a chance of becoming the strongest stHff in the league, Fohl believes he will be more than a dark horse In this year’s pennant rac4. The infield shows Sisler, Gleason, Gerber and Earl Smith with Jimmy Austin and Lee and McManus as substitutes.

Two young catchers—John Heving and Dennett Tate—are due for experience in the minors, leaving Severetd, Billings aud Collins to take care of the receiving.
