CLEVELAND. O.. March 2.-Pitching
is the big problem that must be solved
by Manager Lee Foil If he's to make
a winner of the Cleveland Indians this
year. The men today are spending the
first day in their New Orleans training
camp
His second biggest problem is first
base. Practically every other positoinI
on his lineup is settled.
lie has an outfed that doesn't have
to take a back seat for any other big
league set of outgardeners. With Iris
Speaker in center, thanked on the right
by Bobby Roth and on the left by Jack
Graney, th4 gardens are well protected.
Terry Turner will be back at third,
Ray Chapman at short and Bill Nambs-
game at second.
There arc an even dozen pitchers on
the squad of thirty-one players, and
Foil is supremoly confident he will get
together a classy staff. He Is pulling
hard for his big right handler, Guy Nor
ton. to come back with a kink gone
from his arm. Morton was leading the
American League with ten victories and
only two defeats when som thing went
wrong with his salary wing last season.
IL was largely due TO his disability that
Cleveland dropped after a good start
last season.
Stanley Covcleskie the young Polish
sptballer and Jim Bagley. fadeaway
artist, are counted on as mainstays Of
the hurting corps just as they were last
year
One youngster who is expected to
prove n real sensation TO Otis lambeth,
who came from Topeka late last season.
Lambeth displayed a world of stuff, IN
GLIDING fine side-wheel delivery and
cross-fre ball of which he has remark
able control.
Foil has two southpaws in Fred
Coombs and Joe Boehling. the latter OBJ
tainsd in a trade with Washington.
Big I'd Klepfer, who was bothered
with tonsiltis last season, has had his
tonsils removed and started south in the
middle of February to get in condition
by the time his teammates arrive.
Popboy Smith. brother-in-law Of
Bagby, and Albert Gould, the little
Iowan. showed good form and ability
with the Indians last season and arc
expected to develop.
There are three likely youngsters get
ting their first tryout in fast company
Petty, from TeNasj Dickerson, who
won eleven straight and lost none in the
Dixie League. and Dhrdorlf, from the
University of Iowa.
At first base the season may sec the
passing OF Chick Gandil as big league
regular, for young Louis Guisto, from
Portland, Ore, is banked upon TO win
that place Guisto didn't show much il
the batting lins when he reached Cleve
land late last season, but he had ,
strained back. After the season he wen

lieve would be right.
And Dunn. or his manager, Lee
Foil, or Jerry Wood himself. can't
tell whether Joe Wood will be the
Smoky Joe" OF old, or even whether
his pitching arm which went back
on him two seasons ago will be able
to stand the gait this season.
A pitchers arm is n delicate thing
Once out of killer 1t may get good
again, or It may always retain the
kinks which preclude its effectiveness
When Dunn bought Woods release
from Boston he was after a pitcher
which would give him chance at
the American League pennant.
But / know it's a gamble" he de-
clares. Il feel just like / would in
a poker game when am holding -four
cards and trying to fill n straigh
flush on the draw. II / get the care
they can't beat me- II don't I'm out.
More money has been paid fol
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1917-03-02

In these days OF fortunes being paid
for baseball players $4,000 does not
look like a big sum.
But when $4,000 is gambled on a
baseball players pitching arm It is
considerable money.
jim Dunn, owner of the Cleveland
Indians, is the best sport in baseball
Dunn in business is a contractor and
the contractors game is more or less
of a gamble, and Dunn has applied
his practical business methods to
baseball.
When Dunn announced that he had
paid $4,000 for Joe Wood the base
ball world gasped. because II was the
greatest gamble that had ever beer
made in the game.
With Woods first years salary the
gamble amounts TO $4,000.
Never before had a magnate risket
that much coin on a player whom h,
did not have pretty good reason TO be,

the same tour, predicts Guisto will be
q star.
Cleveland also has in reserve for the
first base job kan Howard, Marty Kav-
anaugh, the ex-Tiger Singer and Ray
Miller, from the Western League.
Behind the bat the veteran Steve
O'Neill is certain to be the mainstay,
while Josh Billings, recalled from Louis
vile, is the present tip for second string
catchr. Tom DAILY will be third man.

| nee LILLE WELDY HAMIL.

The messenger Of death visited th,
home of Mr.. j. I. HamiI. on tn.
night of Jan. 8. 1917. ard bore away
the spirit of Lille his beloved wife tC
the great beyond. She left to mourn

to give up loved ones who are so
dear to us by the ties of nature.
However. we have blessed consola-

hearts are bursting with grief, the
melody OF heaven is sweeter by hav-

To the befeayed relatives / here
with extend my deepest sympathy
and would say weep not for your
loved one. she is not dead. but only
sleepeth.
Do not tell us that our loved ones,
Lose their earthly mem RES quite,
When they sing among the angels
In the heavenly mansions bright.
Oh, i know that we shall know them
Though the angels robes they wear,
When they bid us welcome over,
We shall know our loved ones there.

T. A. BALL.

The subject OF this sketch was
born in the old Ball community in
lower Greene county il the year
1882 thus being when he died near
ly eighty-fve years OF age.
Grandfather early became devot-
ed Christian, taking on himself the
strict duties OF the M. e church,
where he remained a faithful mem
Der as long as his health would per-
nit.
On attaining maturity he mar
ried Miss Martha Struggled. who,
up until few years ago, enjoyed
with him very happy union.
In 1861 he answered the call for
volunteers, leaving his young wife
and two small children to the mer-
cies of Providence to join hands with
his countrymen in the great civil
war between the states. He was ac-
tive throughout the fierce contest,
serving as cavalryman in Missis-
sippi, Georgia and Tennessee, but
never wounded. This, he said, was
because he never tried to harm a man,
save when necessity demanded.
After the surrender our dear old
hero returned home, along with the
rest of the survivors of the lost,
but never to be forgotten cause. to
find his family in tatters, and every
thing in ruin. Like so many other
brave hearts he applied himself, with
dauntless courage and tireless in
dustry to the rebuilding OF his home.
stopping many times, through all
the years since, to relate to his ad-
miring sons and Prandsons his haz-
ardous exploits at Lookout Noun
tam and Chickamauga.
He leaves a host of relatives and
friends in whose hearts his memory
will always remain as sweet as the
Thought OF spring and flowers,
Mere words cannot picture the life of
one so dear to us, and the sublime
lines of Stevenson merely touch the
glory of his departures:
Under the wide and starry sky
Digtne grave and let me lie,
Glad did Hive, and gladly die,
And laid me down with will.
This be the verse you gave for me;
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the Warrior. home from the war.
And the sailor-home from the sea-

Riley Mills of North Greene was
brought to the county jail Monday,
upon charge of seduction sworn out
by the VALLEY girl. AS we under
stand it he makes no denial of the
charge. He entered a suit for di-
vorce against his wife in chancery
court last term, but the case was
held in allegiance. He has seven
children, the least of whom is a
young baby. His wife did not re-
sist the divorce, likely having gotten
wind of the trouble he had gotten
into. This is an affair that has
caused much feeling in that part OF
the county, on account of the prom
inency OF the unhappy Young wom-
ans family, and it is feared that if
Mills makes bond and goes back up
in there that there vii! be trouble.
However, there is some question
about his making bond. His broth
er Pleasant Love Mills is also res
ident of that part OF the county.
The season is rapidly passing for
using lightwood- knots. so we would
