BATON ROUGE. La. April 2-Meettng
the Louisiana State University team this
afn@7oon. the Indians were carded 70
ri their next to last game IN the
So land before beginning the TIP
nc early Monday morning. After tax
I'D the college boys on this afternoon;
Is Hocsiers viii remain over~ here unu4
Sunday to tangle with the Standard Gus,
a strong semi-prO aggregation, aIIer
which they win make hurried de-
partare back to New Orleans to eaten
little sleep before boarding a LoulsFlAe
& Nashville train for Indianapolis.
In the game with the Louisiana rah rsh
nine today, It was likely that Ettling
would be assigned the pitching duties
for the Hoosiers He is the St. Louis
senoi-Dro who has been bothered with an
aching arm during most OF the team
stay in the South, but this morning ne
felt he was ready TO whip EN- across
and Manager Hendricks told him he
probably would get the chance. Bartlett
and Cavet are the other tribe hurlers
avaf1zble and it was possible that the
former would be used the latter half or
today's game. For the Sunday perform
ances Pug Cavet VIII De on decK again gam
70 use his clipper and he may be LETT
IN the full nine innings Dick Gossert
IS attn unable TO work behind the bat
and Dixon drew both backstop assign
ments here. The remainder O. the Tribe
lineup viii be the same as used against
BROOKLYN at New Orleans Friday, with
the exception that both Morrison and At
treau probably will get in one or both
contests.
Rad INNING
COSTS TR1BE.
The Indians came to Baton Rouge this
morning after spending big Friday In
New Orleans In the afternoon the Hoos-
iers battIed the Brooklyn National League
CHAMPIONS IN q match they lost, to D,
and then at night Owner Smith took the
entire baseball party to the Litt-eton-
Greb boxing bout The second contest
with the Dodgers was nearly as interest
ing as the first which the Tribe won,
4 to 5, but In the struggle yesterday the
Hoosier defense cracked IN one inning
and il was all of. The Tribe hitting
was below average, also, but that was
TO have been expected because Mitchell,
Brooklyn's starting pitcher, threw the
spitball almost constantly and, Of course,
that handicapped the Hendrlcksme1. The
moist delivery is not permitted in the
American Association and some OF the
GOokier athletes had not DATED against
49, freak ball for more than two years.
However, regardless of the Tribe de-
- the Dodgers were forced TO hustle
to win, and but for shaky defense work
IN the Tribe inheld in the third inning
the final contest score would have been
only ! to 0.
Striker and whitehouse delivered the
Hoosier pitching and both gave salts
laCLOIy hS1f4CS- W A4leg ulu ezra AAS
with his southpaw slants and In the
three innings he was on the mound the
big leaguers got only one scratch hit.
Zach Wheat, Brooklyn veteran, did the
most damage against the Indians. But
there were other Dodger regulars who
failed to do anything with the puzzlers
dished up by Stryker and Whitehouse.
TEX GETS
HIS BLOWS.
Tex Covington got his usual two hits,
one for two bases, but his safeties came
with the bases unOccupied. On one &C.
casion the Indians had men on second
and third with one out. but Stryker and
!. Lutzre. the next batters, were cut down
10y fhe high foul route. Schroeder helded
sGs@ at short, but his mate, Sticking,
ID the going rather rough at second
lineup for the opening game with

ows by Manager Hendricks:

Mi go the route and show what he
2n ddA nIne-inning game There is
no doubt he can perform the feat, as
ne has showed exceptionally well as u
recruit under fire Of all kinds. Dixon
viii do the catching in the exhibition
games, as Manager Hendricks does not
wish Dick Gossett to take any chances of
being injured again. GOssett has been
unable to catch except in the first games
played on tbs spring training trip when
he injured his wrist. He says he will
be ready for the opening association
game with Columbus April Is.
