Indian Pitching Prospects Look Bright for Diamond Campaign
EIGHT FUNGERS ’ ON STAFF SEEM IH CIO SHAPE Burwell Strengthens Mound Corps—Manager Hendricks Optimistic, By EDDIE ASII, limes Staff Correspondent BOUAUJSA, La.. March 22. Whenever the 192-1 outlook of the Indians is brought up for discussion in the spring camp Manager Hendricks invariably stresses the brilliant pitching prospects. Mention the t-wirlers and you get a glowing conversation out of the Tribe field chief. The staff consists of eight members and the eight are in camp and rapidly lounding into form. The Indians will have six righthanders and two lefties to shoot at the opposition when the A. A. campaign gets under way. Perhaps later, if everything goes well, a reduction of one will he made. At present, however, it can he taken for granted the club's starting roster will include all ol' the eight {lingers now toiling. Burwell undoubtedly will be the lead-off twirier. He is Dig. strong, experience.} and effective Mill won’t le far behind Burwell with the mainstay stuff. The other right-handers are Fitzsimmons. Soil,. Crum and Bartlett. Fitz and Seih are in the youngster class and on h>- upgrade. Either may shoot to the top ~f the entire staff at any time. Crum and Bartlett are in the veteran class. <Yum has boon working with anew spirit since his reinstatement and is hopeful of a successful season Bartlett in '>lia|M> Bartlett hurled good games at and had games last year. but. according to his own opinion this spring, he has an idea he is going to est.t! Ush himself as a ‘‘regular turn” twirler. He reported at the spring camp in fine physical condition, and that is some thing in hi< favor. Southpaw shooting will be taken care of ly Pug Cavct and ,f.-ss Petty Pug says he’ll win his share of games He was the first twirler in camp to try a curve and he said nkey for ticold arm. Oavet is an ideal “rescue" man. He doesn’t require much warm ing and doesn’t pack ’he sacks with 1 ases on balls Last year he was in 256 innings and issued only forty-one walks. The earned-run average off the veteran in 11*22 was :!.17. It was third low in the league and second low jf Jcnnard is not counted. Joimard did rot remain in the leagu. in;.a enough to he included as; art all-season man. Only Tom Sheehan of Sr Paul had n lower learned-run average than Oavet.

Me played basket ball during tic' winter and when the spring baseball call came be was entirely out of the fat class. Hendricks believes Jess is in for a good season. Glowing pitching prospects some times don’t last when the dally battles are reached, but It Is a favorable sign when eight twirlers show good physical condition in the spring. Something unforeseen may up- > t conditions. but Manager Hendricks is a firm believer in favorable signs.

TRIBE OFFICIALS MAKE CHANGES IN INFIELD LINE-UP Christenbury Goes Back to Center, Whelan to Third and Campbell to Second, Hit Times Special BOGAI.USA, l~i~. March 22.—The Indians didn't get to play a ball game I Wednesday afternoon because of | showers, but something developed in .morning drill that gave players and ! Tribe officials anew subject of discussion. Manager Hendricks tried out anew infield line-up and it performed better than he anticipated. He I changed Christenbury to center field, i brought Tom Whelan in and stationed ; him at third base and shifted Camp ! bell to second base. Sicking remained I at short and Kirke at first. A stiff workout was held and the new com bination showed encouraging possibilities. Campbell played the keystone sack in the same brilliant manner he has been covering third, and Whelan handled the hot corner in strong defensi\e Htyle. Hendricks was not exactly satisfied with Christenbury at second, and by moving the former Boston player to center he gave the outfield added class.
Prefers Outfield Christenbury probably prefers tht, outfield and Whelan d,*dres a chanco i to make a bid for a regular job on the : inner works. The change in the lineup may not be permanent, but it is going to bo given a thorough working over, nevertheless. Steve Yerkes will report after the Indians' return home, and his presence may help. Manager Hendricks today announced the Trfb line-up and batting order for the fii.st game of the series with the New York Giants Colts Saturday It follows; Christenbury. center field. Sicking, shortstop Brown, left field. Kirke. first base Purcell, right field.' Campbell, second Uuse. Whelan, third base Krueger or Dixon, catcher Burwell, Cuvet. Petty, pltchets.
