NEW YORK. March 10.-Among the
many young players who are fighting
grimly today to win major league berths
as the third week of the training sea-
son comes to a close are several Of I'M
usual promise.
Bernie Neis, from Saskatoon. Canada,
has practically won an Outteld berth
with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Neis is, per-
haps, the most brilliant young outfelder
of the year.
Manager Higgins win inject Wilson
Fewster into the lineup as a regular.
Fewster was with the Yanks last sea
son. but was played mostly In the out
field. This year Fewster will play
either second or third base. Bob Meusel,
from the Pacific Coast league, has also
won his spurs with the Yanks. Meusel
plays third, first and the outer gar
iens.
Frank Frisch, ex-FOrdham university
star, will fill Heinie Zimmerman's place
at third base when the Giants take the
field. Frisch has developed into a real
star and Manager McGraw is enthusi-
astic over his showing.
The Pittsburg Pirates will introduce
newcomer in the person of Harley
Grimm, their new first baseman, secured
from Little Rock. The Reds will have
young Sam Crane, last year the In
dianapolis shortstOp, on the payroll.
Babe" Pinelli from Sacramento is
making n hard fight for the Unfolding
utility job with the Detroit Tigers and
appears to have won the berth.

are probably the youngest players that
will leave here, but they play the game
like q pair of veterans. These two
youths leave Indianapolis next Tuesday
to join the Charleston IS. c. team of
the South Atlantic association. Nancy is a
shortstop, and BraughtOn plays either
of the garden positions. II Nancy can
WELD his club this year like he has in
the past he is going to be some big guy
down in Charleston. Braughton is also
excellent base runner.
George StrahI is also signed with the
Charleston club. George is one Of the
best catchers in the state and went his
best in the local Manufacturers loop
last season. Ernie Burke, a local boy,
them near the top of the loop last year
and is after the pennant this season.
MeILVAIN IN
CENTRAL LOOP.
McIlvain, former member of the old
Belmont nine. just returned from the
navy, Will act as guardian of the sec
ond sack for the Grand Rapids outfit
of the Central league. McIlyain played
on a naval team with Rabbit" Moran
Vile, for several years q member OF the
Boston Braves, and 1t was through the
efforts Of the famous shortstop that he
was given his chance in the Central cir
cult.
Pitcher Reno was with the Flint club
last year and he is signed to return this
season, but the Terre Haute club Of the
Three-I league has made a bid for his
services and 1t is believed that the Flint
arrangement will sell him.
Clemens, a former member Of the In
dianapOlis Merits, will play with the
Charlottesville team this season.
SCHAEFER ON
SICK LIST.
Charlie schaefer, one Of the classiest
shortstops that ever trOd a diamond in
amateur harness, has been offered that
position with the Flint team, but he I'M
derwent an operation for appendicitis
only short time ago aud he viii not be
ready for action for some time
Bush, the Charleston manager, has
been in the city for several days and it
is understood that he has been dickering
for Tom Qui,rs services behind the plate.
However nothing definite has been heard
along that line. Tom is Glass A
catcher and is always due for a few
bingles.
Most OF the youngsters who have
signed for service in the bush league will
leave indianapolis during the early part
OF next week. In the meantime a few
Others Will probably affix their official
signatures to contracts. The lads are all
determined to make good aud the fans
who have seen them perform around
town are confident that they will.
