ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. March ID
'Nicky" Gallagher, a Louisville (Ky9
pitcher was borrowed today by Manager
Jack Hendricks to hold down the mound
for the Indians in the opening spring
practice game against the Southern col
lege nine.
Big Chief Jack" did not care to use
one OF his regular hurlers today, since
the Tribe has had but two practice SEES
sions IN this mans leather lot, and so
Gallagher was asked to toss over a few
kinky curves. Gallagher, who has been
winterlng here with the Florida State
league, has kept his sphere-rossing
muscles in good shape and behaved well
for the Indians Hendricks put Henline
behind the bat. Gosset covered FIRST,
Long second bag. Schneider shortstop,
Wolf third, with SINNERS, willing and

CONVICTION. CAvET
AND REHG COMING.
Covington, Cavet and Rehg were due

the vicious hitting third sacker. Is due
the first Of next week.
Schneider set the town on FIRE with his
fast stun In the opening practice this
morning and yesterday. Big league stun

heaved the III pill around over the gosh
dinged lot like Bush used 10 do at Wash
ington park. Hendricks not only grinned
when he saw the stun Hank handed out.
but he shouted out his appreciation OF
the efforts and the pep the Redleg put
into his plays.
And the natives who heard and saw
Hank yelled "Attaboy!"
Training conditions down here are
superb. Nice hot afternoon sunshine, the
kiud that brings out the oosy salt water
and bolts out the winter stiffness. Not
only the weather, but the St Peters
burg fans are pulling for the Hoosier ag-
gregation. Mayor Lang Is a fan and he
is grubbing up all the roses In town
TO litter the pathways OF the Tribesmen.
Even former GOV. J. Frank Hanley, who
Is down this way wintering, has put in
an appearance to greet his townsmen
and congratulate them upon their good
fortune to pick out this-man's-town to
train in. Other former Hoosiers have
looked up the team to hand out the
glad NIT OF welcome.
FERRELL PULLS
TOWN LOT STUFF.
The team has cut loose in opening
workout stuff Adams, who spells his
front name with a X, as In Karl, and
"Hick" Terrell pulled out the town lot

heaves and today are feeling the pre-
limlnary stiffness that comes with spring
training.
Schreiver has found the center field

at the ball and is determined to make

too, and so Jack Hendricks has warned
Schneider either to knock the ball over
the fence or to loose 1t In the lot in
order to keep the new balls from being
smeared up too much. The roof of the
new clubhouse is being put on over the
mems heads as they dress.
The feed down hare seems to agree
with the men. That Edgewater inn chef
is performing like a new broom at pres
ent and is working overtime to keep the
table diet in line with the menus or

Orders have gone out today that dou-

until further notice.
Manager Hendricks has planned TO

the Cincy Redlegs at Miami and also
