Stephenson is one of those right.

cut at the ball, la Roger Horns
by or Harry Heilmann.
The former collegian is a player
capable of hitting better than 800,
probably close to $50 if used as a
regular. There's the rub.
Stephenson is a man without job,
although Manager Speaker Of the
Indians is busily engaged in trying
to find a title that will fit him,
Stephenson came direct to the
Indians from University of Ala

how do they look to you?" was my
greeting TO Manager Iris Speaker OF
the Indians.
The players had Just appeared or
the field for morning practice and
were tossing the ball around as 4
preliminary warm-up.
The veteran manager of the Glove
land team isn't inclined to be boast
full, is slow to enthuse knew that
his program for the year called for
the rebuilding of his world champions
of 1920. Imagine my surprise when
he replied;
cleveland is going TO see good
ball club this year. II is going to be
far stronger than my widest i'm
agination ever pictured 1t. It's a
team with new spirit that is going
to fight for evsry ball game, The
boys have forgotten they ever won a
pennant and a big series.
Don't misunderstood me and get
the impression ! am figuring on a
pennant. The big idea the coming
season is to win ball games, that is
what all the boys are thinking about
However, / am willing to go on
record as to what l hope the boys
will accomplish. / feel sure that the
Indians will finish in the first division.

fourth place.
IF club is able to stick around
fourth place it always has a chance
to be second or third and often first
place isn't far away. Holding down
berth in the first division is the
goal at which the Cleveland club is
shooting and I am positive the boys
will deliver.
Players Look Good.

Youngsters. l am sure several of

The other recruit who is certain to
start as regular is Homer Summa 4

that first base belong to him, that he

this manner.
