INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. 21.-Charies
f. Ruschaupt, president OF the Indianapo-
lis baseball club, made the official an
nouncement of the players from whom the
Hoosiers of 1905 will be recruited. He re-
ceived the full list from Manager Ed Bar
row. who is in charge Of the playing end
of the team.
Twenty-four candidates will receive con-
tracts from the management within the
next few days and one or two men not
named in the list may get trial.
The men who have been tried and whose
ability is known will unquestionably make
good here. The outfield looks to be the
best that ever represented q club in a
league of the caliber of the American as
sociation Swander. McCreery and Tho
ney will undoubtedly be the three suburb
anites chosen. This will mean that
George Hogriever. one of the most faith
ful and hardest working players that ever
ever, Hogriever viii have the same chance
as the others, and If he is as fast as he
was In 1903 he will stand a splendid
chance of remaining. Jack Hendricks is
calculations and land a berth. Every
man will have to fight hard for the places.
Seven men will try for the infield posi-
fions and the club will undoubtedly carry
q utility infielder. making five who will be
chosen 1t is not likely that George Ma
COON will be kept on the team. Several
bids have been made for his services, but
