INDIANS LOOK BETTER.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, April Are the
Indians Of 1916 a stronger team than

first stringers; Hagerman, Coveleskie
and Coumbe, relief hurlers. Kelly.s
status has not been determined, but it
is unlikely that Collamore and Garrett
will be retained. Collamore is a capa-
BILE pitcher. while Garrett is prospect,
but Foil does not think that either
has chance to crowd any of the others
out of a job
Morton. who was the sensation of
1915, should be more consistent WIN
ner this year, as the man who could
grab off fifteen games out of thirty
with such a weak outfit behind him
certainly can do better with a stronger
aggregation battling for him and, with
his own added experience.
Behind the bat the club looks safe.
Steve O'Nehl never showed better form,
while in Josh Billings he has most
capable assistant in addition to a hard
hitting and fast baserunning colleague.

has not been called to do much on the

Inasmuch as it is assured that Cleve-

there is no denying the tnfeld Will b

is one thing a team needs in the spring
of the year it is a lot of hitting This
trains the eye. strengthens the swing

uncertain that not more than five or
six out Of twenty-five days can be
figured on for batting practice. Il change
TO spot farther south should be in
sisted upon by those who want to see
the team get d good start in the race.
IT is not fair to judge any player now
In the lineup on what he has shown in
the two games with Brooklyn. There
has been but little hitting and hardly
any man in the local lineup has batted
up to his real standard.
In Que time the team will get to hit
ting and perform in manner in keep
ing with its prospects. Griffith is going
to have his pitchers mix up their de-
hveries, fast ones curves and change
OF pace and whatever else there is in
their pitching repertoire in the practice
pitching. so that the batters will get
some real practice and that ordinary
twirling will look decidedly easy to
them when presented by some opposing
team.
1t is, of course, always recognized
that when ball team is not hitting it
is the most discouraging looking ag-
gregation imaginable. Sit through one
OF those games and watch the home
team when it is not meeting the ball
and you would rather be in attendance
at some exciting ping-pong match 1t
is not only hard on the spectators, but
the players themselves begin to wish
they had become motormen, wire-tap-
pers or something else that would fur
nish real excitement. Take any ball
player-and it makes no difference who
he may be or what his abiity-and when
he is not hitting he never Is in good
frame of mind. He begins to fret and
worry. for he is not doing anything in
the one line in which he wants to shine,
and, furthermore. he knows just how
the spectators feel toward him. Some
of the players go SO far as to change
their style of batting, thus prolonging
their slumps and not getting back into
their stride until some day they hap
pen to hit one in the old way aud then
tumble to where the fault lies.
SympathiZe with a ball team which
can hit and don't. for the players would
rather hit than eat any time and it also
is the most pleasant thing that hap
pens on ball field from spectators
standpoint.

elsewhere, too. What about those fans
