LOSE INDIANS
IN NEXT DRAFT
Cleveland Club May Be With
out Stars When Train
ing Starts

Cleveland, Jan. 26.-Four of the
Indians not already in the service
have been placed in Class l under
the new QUESTIONABLE system. They
are Bobby Roth, hard hitting right
fielder: Ed. Klepfer, one of the clubs
most effective pitchers; Joe Harris,
fret baseman, of Coulter, Pa, and
Lunte, infielder drafted from Mobile.
Klepfer and Harris were caught in
the first draft, but, among hundreds
of others. never were ordered to re-
port, each having been directed to
hold himself ready to join the col
ors on "a hours notice. If Roth is
taken 1t will leave the Indians with
only two outfielders, Speaker and
Graney, as Elmer Smith is in the SER
vice.
Squad Is Uncertain
Lee Fohl does not know how many
men he will take to New Orleans
TO prepare for the season, stating
hoy many of the old men will be
hack. All he can figure on definitely
at present are Catcher Steve O'Neil,
Pitchers Coveleskie, Bagby and
Coumbe; Infielders Wambsganss,
Howard and Turner and Outfielder
Graney. There also is chance
Josh Billings will be with the team.
Speaker and Chapman have de-
pendents, but Klepfer, Roth and pos
sibly Harri sare almost sure to have
to don the khaki.
Fohl expects to send the pitchers
and catchers to New Orleans week
ahead of the regulars, who are not
due to start training until March is.
Fohl figures the chances are that he
will have several pitching recruits to
look over and feels that two weeks
from the time the main squad
reaches New Orleans until the team
leaves to tour with the Giants, will
not be enough to get them into
snaps.

Before the big game the Steelton
second team defeated the Central
scrubs, 21 to II. When the two teams
came out on the floor it looked very
much as If a grammar school team
was going to play a college or pro-
fessional team because of the diff
ference in size and age. Steelton was
much older and outweighed Central
about thirty pounds to the man.
However the Central scrubs showed
what team work and speed will do.
Central did not get one goal from
the field while Steelton was able to
score eight times from the field.
Robinson's foul shooting kept Cen
trail in the game. This lad scored six
teen times from the foul line out of
