RANKING OF INDIANS
DURING LAST. 10 YEARS

of the city having the team in the
general telegraph news. Even
tail-end club publicity is better than
none at all.
The Indians have had their
share Of the good publicity and
very little Of the less desirable. In
twenty-five years Of American
Association history the Indians
have won three pennants and have
finished fifteen times in the first di-
vision of clubs-that is the upper
half of the list of eight teams.
During the last three seasons the
Indians finished second each year.
The Indians have been in many
pennant fights during the last
twelve years, all of which we're
boosts for indianapolis.
In recent years two of the man
ayers of the Indians have become
managers in the major leagues,
Jack Hendricks going to Cincinnati
and Ownie Bush to Pittsburgh.
In the American Association the
Indians for many years have had
the reputation of having a fighting
ball club and there have been few
times in twenty-five years that the
great majority of dopesters each
spring have failed to pick Indian
apolis as a first division team. The
best of it Is the Indians seldom
disappoint in finishing we'll up in
the races. That's publicity for
Indianapolis.
For several years W. c. Smith,
ST. owner Of the Indians, has been
very fortunate in being able to Sc
cure and hold such managers as
Jack Hendricks and our own Ownie
Bush. The very fact that both
graduated TO the major leagues,
Hendricks as manager of the Gin
cinpati Reds and now Bush, as
manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
alone indicates that Mr.. Smith
sought and secured the very best.
The 1927 season will open with
Bruno Bethel at the helm of the
local club. Bethel, formerly with
the Louisville Colonels, is the Bush
type, full Of pep. ginger and brains,
and will prove a most desirable
leader.
Many star players have been de-
veloped or partly developed by the
Indians. These include RUDE Mar
guard and Bush of years ago, and
! in recent years, Fred Fitzsimmons,

Jess Petty, Paul Florence, Riggs
Stephenson, Carmen Hill and Many
others who have made good In the
major leagues.
Were 1t not for the fact that the
Indians were enabled to sell good
players from time to time, the club
could not have kept pace in the
American Association considering
the patronage accorded baseball in
the past in Indianapolis. However,
Mr.. Smith and his associates have
shown every faith in the city by
going ahead with plans for a sta
dunn and grounds second to none
in the Association. Announcement
of the location of the new ball park
will be made as soon as the proper
location has been decided upon.
Three straight years In second
place after season of unusually
keen competition presages well for
Indians next year. Faith In In.

many improvements and in turn
the club is only urging that the peo-
pie make it possible for the club to
continue boosting indianapolis.
Part of these plans call for an
immense new stadium, costing
about $35O,00O, with seating ca
pacity Of 1880, which will be erect
ed on site soon to be chosen.
Several sites are under considera-
ton.
During the baseball season, from
early spring when the teams Of the
larger leagues go south for train
ing, there is a continuous flow of
the so-called baseball dope to all
sections of the country. Every
thing of interest to the clubs direct,
such as the exchange of players,
with trades and sales, also are of
interest to the fans of every COM
munity. That is another avenue of
publicity for the cities and towns
directly interested in the deals.
Even a tail-end team furnishes
publicity. not so desirable, perhaps.

Evidence of Faith in Indianapolis

Statistical bugs frequently applied to those having
penchant for figures time and again have tried to compute
publicity standpoint the advantages of having base
ball to any city town.
Indianapolis in this respect is like many thousands of
other cities and towns The city its mentioned
frequently possible other places and perhaps there

plished by having baseball club

papers and in the papers the baseball fans find
the score of almost any city represented league organized

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-12-31

The statistical bug will tell you
that of the many millions of news
paper readers there is a surpris-
ingly large percentage of them
who look for the scores. Anyway,
the statement proves that the
name of the city or town having a
baseball club is read by myriads
of people every day.
Indianapolis has its baseball club,
the Indians, a member of the
American. Association, and the re-
suit is that for 16S consecutive days
in the warmer months the name In
dianapolis is printed in nearly
every paper of consequence east of
the Rockies and IN the larger papers
on the western coast.
1t does not take statistical bug
to prove to those boosting for In
dianapolis that our local Indians are
a great publicity getter for Indian
apolis. Many will agree that the
ball club does more than its share
in spreading the name and fame
of the city.
