Here they are: Uhle, Specie. &C
Emil 1evsen, Ben Karr, veteran
bought from Atlanta; Monroe
Mitchell, bought from Memphis, but
the victim Of an accident to his pitch
ing arm last summer; Lehr, rookie,
drafted from Greensville; Luther
Roy and Fitzke. The first four, how
ever, probably are the ones Speaker
must depend upon this season.
Karr Is known quantity. He
Is . veteran who can stand plenty
Of work. Specie Is youngster
with an undorkand delivery and
also q tendency TO be wild. The
real prospect, however, b LcveseEl,
the Iowa cOllegian, who joined the
Indians late in 1923, acted IS relief
pitcher In three or four games
without being scored upon and
then wae farmed out last spring,
without much Of q chance TO show
his ability as . big Lacquer.
When the Iowa boy joined the
Tribe, he was sidearm pitcher, but,
upon the advice of some Of his older
teammates. shifted to an overland
delivery at the training camp in
Lakeland. His work on the rubber
was not very impressive, but when
farmed out to Terre Haute he con-
tinued using the overland stuff until
Scout Bill Slapniclxa, who had been
responsible for the purchase Of Lev
sen, visited Terre Haute.
what have you done with your
sidearm ball?" asked Slapnicka~
Levsen told him he had discarded
it upon the advice Of older Cleve-
land pitchers.
ut was because Of your side
arm delivery that had Cleveland
get YOU" ret0rted the scout. $50
get busy and use Il again."
Levsen did so and from then on
was the best pitcher in the Three-I
League. The records OF that league
show he pitched ID complete games
in which his opponents made less
than 10 hits to a game, some record
in these days Of corpulent batting
averages. He pitched three shut
out games. Then he came back TO
the Indians and proceeded to show
q lot Of stuff in the American
League, so much, In fact, that he
will be allowed to continue as a side
arm pitcher.

WHEELER ASKS
INDICTMENT
RELEASE
Senator's Montana Acquit-
tai in Montana Basis
for Plea.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5-R)
Senator Burton X. Wheeler. Demo.
crat, Montana, prosecutor in the SEN
ate-Daugherty investigation, asked the
District of Columbia supreme court to-
day to dismiss indictments charging
him with conspiracy to defraud the
federal government in connection with
oil prospecting permits in his home
state.
Two principal grounds for the mo-
ton were advanced:
That the senator was acquitted by
jury courts in Montana, on charge
based on identic allegation of facts,
and that the District of Columbia
courts have no Jurisdiction over the
offense charged or sought to be
charged.
The plea of former acquittal and
the demurrer alleging lack of jurisdic-
ton probably will be argued the latter
part of this month, with Senator
Thomas J. Walsh. Mr.. Wheeler's col
league, and Charles A. Douglas ap-
pearing for the Montana senator and
Robert +. Stewart and William A.
Leahy appearing for the department
of justice.
