LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Apr. 5—Cheered by the news that

Johnny Merson, experienced second baseman, has been -optioned to them by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Indianapolis Indians set up their wigwam in Little Rock today, the third stop in the Hoosier Redskins’ barnstorming journey through Southern Association cities, ii

Manager Don Gutteridge announced the acquisition of Merson this morning after re-

combing the country for a veteran pastimer by offering money or players in exchange. Merson, who turned 27 in January, posted a splendid record with the New Orleans Pelicans last year, Performing in 153 games, he batted .280 by collecting 166 hits, including eight home runs, He hit for 231 total bases and batted in 88 runs, something sort of special for a second baseman. Merson, who stands 5-11 and weighs 175 pounds lives in Elkridge, Md. " n ” o

making it $400-in the fourth when he belted a second homer. This drive barely missed going over the payoff fence. It was propelled to left center and struck near the top of a tall sign and fell back into the bleacher seats. A In his third time at bat, in the fifth, Whitey batted in two runs with a single. On his fourth trip, in the seventh, he hit a long one to right, also a payoff fence, but right fielder Fred Leonard made a long run and hauled it in by a daring catch against the boards. So when Platt appeared at the plate in the ninth, the Memphis pitcher got nervous and dished out a base on balls.
