GRIM HIS GOOD LOT
OF BASEBALL MEN
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind. April 11.-Captain Jack
Grim has a squad of twenty-three baseball
players assembled here, from which he will
select the team that will represent Marion
in the Central League this season. Prac-
tically all OF the members of last years
team are here. and with most of the old
men back it is considered that Marion has
an advantage over other clubs, which have
mostly new players.
Grim and McGrew are both Indianapolis
men, and Pitcher Merryman played with
the Indianapolis club a couple of seasons
ago. The following players. including the
old men, are trying Tor berths: Pitchers
Merryman. Myers, Hamilton, Frye, Adair,
Maley. Armstrong; catchers, Jessup, Her
bert, Dooley, Curtis; first base, Grim; sec
ond base, Cooley; third base. Seibert, John
son; shortstops McGrew, Sapp; outfielders.
Pickett. Letcher. Lawrence, Roland, Plum
mer, Porter. Catcher Dooley, who is try
ing for the place of a second catcher,
comes from the Indianapolis Reserves. Out
fielder Pickett formerly played with Bos-
ton. and he was secured last season from
the indianapolis club.
The Toledo American Association team
will play here Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. Marion Will go to Indianapolis
Saturday, and the Hoosiers will come here
next Sunday. Marion is arranging for other
practice games and ii is believed that the
men will be in fair condition when the
Central League season opens on April IS.

M'CREEDIE is ANXIOUS
To BECOME A HOOSIER
Former Brooklyn Player Has
Opened Negotiations with
Manager Phillips.
HE IS AN OUTFIELDER
Cleveland Players Believe that
O'Hara Will Be Sent to that
Team-Gossip.

There is a probability of indianapolis OBJ
tanning OutfieIder McCreedie before the
coming season is very old. McCreedie was
with Brooklyn last season, and in ffty-six
games had a batting average of .32i Be-
cause of a little dissension among the
players he was sent to Baltimore, where ne
batted .335 in seventy-four games. Last
winter Manager Phillips had chance TO
obtain McCreedie from Baltimore in
trade for a pitcher. Phillips was about to
make the trade when he learned that Nc
Creedie had accepted the terms OF the
Portland team. 1t has been learned that
McCreedie is not satisfied i'm Portland, and
he mas opened correspondence with the In
dianapOlis club manager. McCreedle says
he believes he can arrange 10 get away
from the Portland team. In case the deals
now hanging fire should fail 10 work out
10 the satisfaction of the indianapolis team
negotiations Will be closed, If possible, Tor
McCreedie.
President Ruschaupt is home from Gin
cinnati. but he says his mission to that city
has not as yet borne fruit. Manager Bar
rows, of the Detroit team. will not dispose
of Rossman, the outfielder desired by In
dianapolis, for a few days, but the HooslerS
stand a pretty good chance OF securing
him.
Manager Phillips is hanging pretty close
TO Manager Armour, of the Clevelands,
while the latter is in the city, as Phillips
wants one of the Cleveland players. Since
the national commission has decided Lhat
O'Hara shall return TO Toledo the chances
of getting Rossman are not as bright as
they were a short time ago. Cleveland
players claim that OHara will be allowed
to remain with Cleveland because the ma
jor leagues do not care to permit sueh
case TO revert to the control of the minor
leagues, but ii is not probable that the
national commission will rescind its action
Rossman is the man particularly desired by
Manager Phillips.
There was special interest in yesterdays
game, as two men who have been men
toned as probable Hoosiers-Rossman and
Schwartz-were in the game for Cleveland.
Rossman could be used now better than
Schwartz. as the Indianapolis infield is
complete.
= = r
A baseball fan had dream night before
last. He said he Johnny Fisher. the
little pitcher now being given trial, on
the Hoosiers' regular staff. and also saw
in the Hoosier outgarden player from st.
Louis, McCreery, and another player whose
name has long been connected with the
indianapolis club. Dreams often come true.
Cleveland will play here again to-day.
Fisher, Newlin and Barney may be worked
in the pitching box by Manager Phillips.
The regular infielders and outfelders will
play. The work of the infield yesterday
very good. considering the condition of
the field, and the fans say that department
of the team is all right. Twenty-one play
may be sent home to-day. Cleveland is
long on twirlers.

"Cut Out All Horse Play"

The Shortridge High School baseball
team yesterday held an easy practice to
timber up from the effects of Saturdays
hard game with Franklin. The team re-
ceived a little curtain lecture by Captain
Connor, the gist of which was that the
team should ''cut out all horse play and
settle down 10 business. The report cards
come out Monday, but II is thought that
nobody on the team will fail. as every one
has taken warning from last year and is
paying strict attention to the school work.
Pettis Laurie. who had been depended on
by Captain Common to fill one of the outfield
positions, has been compelled TO stop play
ing on account of paternal objections. He
is one of the few boys who had passing
marks when the team was disbanded last
season, and besides being a good baseball
player took second honors among the boys
of the senior class, and stands unusually
high in school work.
