SACRAMENTO. Cal, March c0-That

after there would be no objection to the
MONDAY grub.
Evers WAS curious to learn the effect
the rule had on the players and watched
closely which ones went into the dining
room. He was not at all surprised to
notice that only few of them went in
to have their appetites appeased

tinue 1t. was anxious to see how many
would eat. They do not need the meal
and those who did eat today will realize
that they made a mistake, and / ven
ture to say that mona Of them will be
eating after the season begins"
George Tyler was one Of the first to
hand his hat to the check girl this morn
Ing on the diner. He found an insect
of some kind In his fruit and he could
not finish his meal. He was as hungry
as bear when the lunch hour came and
he did not make any errors In ordering
He said he felt much better after he
had consumed II and looked the part In

was the ability of Sewell to smooth out
some rough spots in his fielding How
ever, he has followed instructions to be
natural instead of always trying to set
himself before throwing. He was the
hitting sensation of the club In the early
games.
In addition to their "big five" of pitch
ers, the Indians will retain Morton and
Clark for chief utility duty and two
southpaw recruits will also stick with the
team. They are Jess Petty with Indian
apolis of the Association last year, and
Ted 0denwald, little fellow from Jop-
lin, Mo.
The Indians also picked up sensa-
tional young outheld recruit in Ernie
Jeanes, a young Texas semi professional,
whom Speaker will keep if he continues
the form shown in early games.
Speaker isn't claiming the pennant, but
the Indians figure to be right up there

in the box, where he had only three at
the start last spring-Coveleskie, Bagby

Walter Mails and George Uhle, both of
whom showed great form last fall.
Another place where iris figures he'll
start stronger this year than last is in
that left field combination of Jameson

Jameson hit ,319 last season and Evans
smashed southpaws for .349 Speaker
