TECH TRIALS
Black to Choose Team for
Anderson Meet.

Coach Black will hold try-outs
today and Friday for places on the
Technical track team at the schools
athletic field. Forty candidates par
ticipated in trial heats for the quar-
ter-mile Wednesday, and times of
:56 and :57 were recorded. Leaders
in the two heats were Bill Morris,
Harry Murdoch, Walt Johnson and
Don Bell.
With the Anderson meet scheduled
for April 10, Coach Black is driving
his thinly clads through a rigid
period of training. Captain Cliff is
clipping the hurdles in fast style
and Leet and Drane are rounding
into good form in the hundred.
They also are drilling hard for the
.220-yard dash.
Coach Mueller is faced with the
problem of building up diamond
squad around Shorty Jordan, the
pitcher, who is the only veteran on
the field. Early practices resulted
in cutting the squad from approx
mately 200 to thirty-flve candidates.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-03-26

Manager Bush announced the
first cut in the squad when he let
pitcher Russell Cassel go. The
Minneapolis youth failed to show
much prowess as a twirler and he
will not accompany the Tribe to
Memphis. Cassel displayed some
form during the early days Of
spring training, but recently he has
been of little use other than to
"shag" balls during practice. In
other words, he is hopeless as a
pitcher.
Pitcher Dutch Henry, obtained
from Brooklyn in the Petty
deal, failed to report i'm Plant
City Wednesday, but Petty fol-
lowed orders and went to Clear
water to join the Dodgers. Man.
ager Bush was on the lookout
for his new twirler today be-
cause he will need him during
the heavy schedule next week.
Carmen Hill and Bill Burwell were
due to perform in the box for the
Indians this afternoon when the
Bushmen faced the Phillies. Out
fielder Clarke was granted permits
sion to leave for Memphis ahead Of
the team and he was not present
for the Tribe final Florida fling
today.
