One month from today, on Monday March 5, to be exact, Bruno Betzel’s main squad of Indians will join up with the batterymen at the Plant City (Fla.) training camp and heavy practice will start. Herman Layne, fast outfielder who was here on a loan last season, was purchased from the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday night and this news caused Tribe fans to feel cheerful over the outfield outlook. The garden roster now consists of Layne, Anderson, Matthews, Russell, Walsh and Mueller and is expected to be stout enough to start with. Owner James Ferry and Manager Betzel will lead the pitchers and catchers South Feb. 25, and Secretary Clauer will follow with the infielders and outfielders, March 3. Trainer Jim Pierce, already on the scene at Plant City, is getting the playing field in shape and repairing the club house. In a letter to Clauer today, Pierce said there is much work to be done on the diamond. Jim said everything was o. k. except the ground. Shortstop Warstler and Ralph Miller, utility infielder, sent in signed contracts today.
