Day OSA BEACH, Fla., Mar. 21—Owen Joseph Bush, the - campaigner, ex-big

league and minor league manager as well as ex-president of the Indianapolis Indians and still

a part owner, today sized up a few of the mem- _ hers of the? Tribe's apring® squad. “At this time” he said, ‘vou must bear in mind these new # players are just = °F up from leagues 5: of lower claasifi cation than the © American Asso - ciation, which is Ash Triple-A. “Most of these lads are from

tlasses Double-A and A, here and there some have had the benefit of some Triple-A experience, All are trying out for a new team In a new league, to them. 2 “As of now I think Shortstop Harry Malmberg and Third Base man Al Smith have it in them to make the club. Both are ‘'xcep tionally good on ground balls and Smith has speed and power although he's been having tronble getting his drives to safe spots in these practice games, “I'm also impressed by Milt Nielsen, the outfielder. He can hit, run and field. He's a good hustier runs hard and slides hard. It's my guess Nielsen would be a big leaguer if he could throw Helter Here's hoping treatment here will improve his arm. “Young Mike Lutz, rookie outfielder, ix a big, powerful kid and I helieve he'll come along as a hitter, after the camp's batting specialists work on him more, Ill have something on other newcomers at a later date.” n ~ “n THE INDIANS’ baby winning streak came to an end yesterday and the series with Dallas now stands three for the Redskins, two for the Texans. : The Eagles really scalped the Tribesters:- by thumping them 10 to 2. Three Tribe hurlers, Ernie Trujillo, Frank Papish and Charlie 8ipple all got bumped as the opponents clubbed out six teen hits, including two doubles and three triples, i Most disappointing item from the Indianapolis viewpoint was the fact the Indians were held to six safeties, longest of which was a double by Harry Malmberg. The losers also committed three costly errors afield,

1t was Dallas’ day in the dou ble play department, with three The Tribhesters made none. New

pitcher Trujillo, up from Wichita was pounded for seven hits and six rung in three innings, the veteran Papish gave up five blows and three runs in three, and new
