Veteran FIashy OutfeEder
Leaves Indians in Fine Deal
Arranged By Hendricks.
SMITH JR. REACHES CITY

Duke Kelley, veteran Indianapolis o1t-
fielder, today was sold to the Salt Lake
City club Of the Pacific Coast league in
deal arranged and completed by Man
ager Hendricks. 1t is the first definite
| the Tribe roster by removing the LIGHT
hitters and make room for heavy hitters
to come.
Kelley was popular here because Of
his long service in the outfeld and his
fashy work on the bases. but the Duke
no longer is able TO hit up to American
Association standard and for this rea-
son Manager Hendricks decided to let
him 20. But in selling the services Of
the Duke Hendricks did not forget the
players good work while with Indian
ap"lls and he used great care in arraag-
ing for the best deal possible for tho little
Fellow. As a result of the Tribe mana
ger Efforts Kelley still remains in class

deal possible for Kelley and the player

splendid manner, both for his prestige
Kelley always has been rated a high
class Outheider and wizard on the
bases. He won many games for the In
dams through the efforts OF his winged
fields by his dashing work on the bases.
He has played with the Hoosiers about
seven seasons and one year was credited
with leading the league in hitting. That
was in his first or second season here,
but since then he has weakened gradual
| ly with the bat and due to the fact that
, the A. A will pick up IN all-round class
next season Manager Hendricks thought
it best to replace the Duke with heavier
hitter
/ William C. Smith Jr., new vice presi-
J dent Of the Indians, was due to reach the
city late this afternoon. He wired he
OF his way here from New York and
Manager Hendricks went to the station
to give him the glad hand and whisper
Florida training camp sunshine in his
| ear. Young Smith is somewhat familiar
| with baseball, but he expects to learn
much more from the Tribe general mana
! ger and no doubt Will be fitted TO han
/ die the executive business Of the club in
I a short time. He is coming as a repre-
! sentative of his father, who is the new
| president and new majority stockhOldS1Sr
and thinks the same as the owner, that
indianapolis is deserving of the ibest
team money can buy. This being his
first year as vice president Young Smith
desires to see a pennant winner at once,
which is the ambition Of William c.
Smith Sr., as a way of introducing him

Sherry Magee, Never in
Minors, Handed Release
by the Cincinnati Reds

CINCINNATI, Jan. 6.-Prcsident Herr
mann announced yesterday that Manager
Moran has decided to give Sherwood Ma
gee, the veteran outfelder, his uncondi-
tional release at once so that Sherry will
have plenty Of time to obtain a position
elsewhere before the season opens. This
is the first break in the ranks of the
worlds champions. Magee will be re-
leased in order to make room for a
younger and more active player whose
name will be given out later.
Sherwood Magee has had a long and
honorable career in baseball unusual in
one respect, namely that he never played
with a minor league. Almost all ball
players serve an apprenticeship of one
or more seasons in the bushes, but Sher
wood jumped right from the ranks Of
the semi-pros into the National league
harness. He was playing independent ball
in Allentown, Pa, when discovered by
q scout for the Philadelphia Nationals
and signed up for the PhllIies. He made
good at once and has played in the old
National ever since, with the Phillies,
Braves and Reds.
