TRIBE HUSTLES FOR WIN NO. 2 OVER DODGERS Indians Confident in Ability to Trim Big: Leaguers in Postponed Game. PLAYER DEALS LOOM BY EDDIE ASH. Daily Tim*!! Sports Editor. NEW ORLEANS. April I.—lndians and Dodders were to try again this afternoon to stage the game that It was impossible to play Thursday because of wet grounds, and due to the fact that the Hooslers tossed the hooks into the major leaguers Wednesday, there was every reason to believe that they would give the National League champions the same stiff opposition today. Strkver and Whltehouse were elated for mound duty this afternoon and Manager Hendricks believed this right hand, left hand combination would give Wilbur Robinson's inen plenty of trouble. It was Paul Jones - turn ro mount the hill, but Paul left for his Louisiana home last night to pack up his belongings for the coming season's stay in Indianapolis. I>oug Baird and Bob Kinsella were others among the absent today as a result of vacations v<it-<i them by I fend ricks. The former lives In bt. Louis and the la;ter in Springfield, 111. These two 'tars, along with Jones, will be In Indianapolis In time for the exhibition battle with the Ciuey Reds next Wednesday, however, as it is Hendricks desire to pre-ent his strongest linetip In the spring games wfth the Major leaguers back home. In the absence of Rnlrd this afternoon. Rube Lutzke was ready to fill the third base Job. anil It is needless to say that the former Brewer was anxious to" show his stuff against the major stars. A heavy early morning thunderstorm spoiled the fun for the tribesmen Thursday and it was an unwelcome day of rest. They played so well against the Dodgers on the day previous ttiat they all were eager to swing back into action. The postponement proved a disappointment to New t >rleans fans also, because. the feat of the lloosiers in taking the! Dodger crew down the line in an extra i inning battle Wednesday caused much excitement la local baseball circles and a big cri wd would have been assured. That the management of the Brooklyn team recognized the. new rating pia ed on Hoosier stock In tills section was In- ; pleated when immediate efforts were taken to match the clubs up for the engagement this afternoon. Manager Robison was greatly peeved over the d’f-'at suffered by hi* outfit Wednesday and he made all "kinds of preparations to cop the honors today by a dej islve score. Owner Smith of the Indians has called off his Journey to Mobile to meet John McGraw in a conference dealing with uotatog aul for the H ,osier battery <leIpartments. but tie do s not Lean tnat he will not obtain the help sought. Ills most recen' communication with McGraw was Thursday, when b“ got In touch by long distance phone with the Giant leader The talk apparently was a success from a Hoosier standpoint, because Smith was all smiles when he stepped out of the booth and later be admitted that McGraw had assured him of a pitcher, but that the transfer of the twirier from the. (.hints to the Indians could not be mad- until a week or more. There are further signs also that the Indians will get Catcher Henline back, and if this occurs the Tribe followers can take it for grunted that the It*—l Hoosiers will be in the pennant hunt from the start. wmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm mmm m m m m m mm i members of the Parker Tire ball aim are requested to meet at Fountain JOjare tonight, as some important mat fifo are to be brought up by the manJEv a meeting of the Sunday School League, held at the Em-Km Go is Store eleven teams were into the league.

Butler Baseballers Are Rounding Into Team That Will Carry Mean Battle I Working out dally from 2 o’cinek in tbe afternoon until dark, the Butler Col- 1 1 lege baseball nine is fast rounding into form, and the men should all be. in good [ condition f<>r t.ieir tilt with Jack Hendricks’ Indians April 8. The unusual y large turn-out for the diamond aport tills year has made R difficult for Coa -h Rage to get his men accurately sized up. aud it is doubtful If by the time of the. opening game the regular Uue-up will he determined. The way things stand now the squad has been practically narrowed down to tlie following men: Catcher*. Short and Hungate; pitchers, Mercer, Staton, Shockley, Brown and Van Arsdale; first base, P. Jones and Middlesworth; Second base. , Mercer and Captain Alexander; shortstop, ‘ Goett; third base. Blessing and Deideri h; outfield, Leslie, K. Jones and Kiser. The squad has been working almost i every day with a strong semi pro club and the practice is beginning to show ! valuable results. The Pagemen have been holding their own remarkably well against the strong Independent nine. Baseball prospects at Butler this year looked nnythliig but bright a month ago, but under the active tutelage of Coaches : Page and Hinkle the athletes are coining around in a manner that indicates the Bulldog nine will follow the football and basket-nail teams to a high place In this ; year's Hoosier collegiate rating. Following the game with the Indians, : which is to he played at Washington park, the Blue and White will go to La j favette, April 11 and 12, for two games with the Boilermaker nine. The Pagemen will open the home season April -5, meet- ■ lug Franklin on Irwin field. Inele.ment weather of the last week has slowed uii tennis to some extent, but the I racquet wielders are getting started, and ; in the next week or so material in this branch of snort should be pretty well sized up. The following men will probably fight it out for positions on tht squad: (’apt. John Wamsley, Ding Berg, former Shortrldge star; IMck Bastlan, Charles Wylie and .T. Gloin, also ol Shortridge: A1 Thomas, Tech, nnd BUI Gaddis. Manual. Despite the loss of exCaptain Koehler, tennis looks like the best bet at Butier this spring, and from the above men n squad should be picked that will place high In Hoosier Intercollegiate circles.

Old Reliable Texas Covington will be back at his old initial sack position again this season, and the fans who are pulling for u banner season from him are not pulling for too much. The big fellow, although a late reporter, is in shape and lias been playing a great game since he first put his feet under the Tribe eating table at Crowley. Getting hits when hits are needed is the best little thing Tex does, hi and he has shown in his few exhibition games (hat he has not forgotten his old trick.
