AND PRY THE INDIANS
LOOSE FROM BOTTOM
Pleasant Pastime Slightly
: Differs From That of; Other

1 . Hy 111 Sheridan.
li Cleveland. Ohio. March 8. Whilo a
majority of big league managers are
iflguring cut ways and mean of Jim
my In s their taams into first place or
-hereabouts, Joe Birmingham, manager
of tb' Cleveland Indta-ns, erstwhll
Naps, is facing the problem f lifting
his team out of last place in the Amer
ican league. -
Birmingham has entered into the
pleasant though somewhat perplexing
pa time, with the zest that always
marks, the doings of a youthful man
ager, and hopes to land his team in at
leant the fifth berth.
, JI9 started his cayjpalgn this winter
by eliminating from the team tseveral
- playero whose views on running a bail
elub did not coincide with his own. Ole
Olson, utility lnfielder was sentenced
r t the Cincinnati eds, Napoleon La
Id e was sold to the Athletics and Poo
Johnson, first baseman, f ailed to find
his name on the team roster when the
list was made public.
l ine Indians will start the srason
, with only three veteran pitchers, unleas
toother is obtained by trade or purchase
before the middle qf April. Willie
Mitchell, a southpaw.'and Fred island
ing and Bill Steen, right banders, are
the vets.
i Guy Morton, obtained from the Wa
terbury club last season, and who
beara the earmarks of a future great,
appears to bo the pick of the younger
I pitchers. , Sam Jones, a member of the
Cleveland association club last season,
Coumbe, Walker, Bowman and JHar
atadt are the other pitchers.
Several infield changes will be ap
parent when the team takes the field
for the first game of the season. Bill
liodgers, with Portland, Pacific Coa6t
league; last season, Will replace Lajoie
at second base. Hoy Wood, who showed
good form last season, probably will
. cover first. Barbare, recruited from
New Orleans, or Terry Turner, will
hold forth at third."
WambKganns, Cedar Rapids short
atop last season; Shields, Waterbury,
first baseman, and Thomas, Omaha
third baseman, 'will fight It out for
;the utility Jobs, Barbare or Turner,
having Jthe first call, of course, if
either fails to break in as a regular,
i Five outfielders will try for Jobs,
Manager Birmingham among them. Joe
Jackson will hold forth in right field
and will again try to nose out Ty Cobb
In the race for league batting honors.
He hopes to succeed this year after
many vain efforts. Elmer Smith, a
Waterbury recruit, will play center
field. Smith played 18 games with the
team Mast fall and batted .327. lie is
one of the best outfield prospects the
Cleveland team has picked up in years.
Graney will play left field arid Leebold
and Birmingham will be the extra out
fielders. j Steve O'Neill and Ben Egan, the lat
ter with Baltimoreristst season, will do
-the bulk of the catching. Devogt and
Billings, with the Cleveland associa
tion team'last season, will fight it outj
for the third string job. L.ee Fohl, j
veteran catcher, "will "instruct the
young pitchers.
i The Cleveland team may be the dark
horse of the American league race. If
Bmith, Barbare and RodgerB come
through In style and two of the. recruit
pitchers . deliver the goods, the club
should make a hot fight for a lust
division berth.
