A third announcement made by
Manager Bush with some news 20
it was the word today that Joe Klug-
man more than likely would be es-
tablished as the utility performer for
the Indians during the coming cam
paign. He is right-handed batter
and plays either infield or outfield.
Reb Russell will take Pug Aliens
place to use in the outerworks when
the opposition is using a right
handed pitcher. Russell hit for an
average Of 1913 last year with Column
bus and his record showed %
doubles, 10 triples and 80 home
runs. He collected 157 hits in 493
times at bat.
Russell drew 50 walks, had IL
sacrifice hits, stole 6 bases and
struck out 80 times. The veteran
was among the trailers in fielding,
however, his percentage being .939.
Russell needs no introduction to
Indianapolis fans. He played here
as an outfielder several years ago
after serving long stretch as a
pitcher with the White Sex. Reb
is a local resident. He failed to hit
when an Indian before, but made a
comeback after joining Minneapolis.
The Millers sold him to Pittsburgh
and the Pirates sent him to Co
lumbus The Senators were on the
point of selling the big fellow to
Atlanta when the Indians stepped in
and bought him.
r. ANAGER BUSH said today
I'M Trainer Pierce would be sent
I'LL to the Hot Springs camp the
last OF this month with instructions
to get things in order for the ar
rival of the Tribe tossers, March Is.
Pierce will supervise the job of IRON
ing out kinks in the ball park to be
used by the Indians and also be-
come familiar with general condi-
tions around the Arkansas resort in
order to have the information ready
to slip to Manager Bush when the
peppery pilot arrives with the squad
March Is.
Pierce delights in helping players
get settled and he has had so much
playing experience himself that he
is able to relieve Bush to some ex-
tent in coaching the young talent
shuffling the ivory.
II Jim is unable to rub out an
ache he'll talk it out OF a grooming
athlete and his line Of chatter goes
| over good in the clubhouse
And Pierce is hot stuff around a
spring training camp and can spot
bad places on the playing field with
one survey of the landscape.
Jim performed in many, many
bush leagues during his days as an
active diamond pastimer and he is
quick with the observing eye. He
helped coach baseball at Purdue Uni
versity number OF times and he Is
wise to clubhouse and gym life and
strains and sprains.
INSMITH and Florence viii
| Al be Tribe catchers. Holke will
III be at first base, Sticking at
second. Voter at third and Schneider
at short. That's good enough to
start with, though Voter is still
more or less of an experiment at
third. However, he finished strong
enough there last season to entitle
him to be regarded as starting
regular this campaign.
Outfelders are Rehg, Matthews.

T is q shame that as good
a game as basketball
- should be spoiled by the
rowdyism of outsiders. One smart
aleck was taken out of the gym
Tuesday night when his remarks
to the referee had reached a point
where patient official thought it
wise to stand no more.
II some of these young no.
brains knew anything about the
game it would be different, but
they seem to come to the contests
mainly to razz the officials. All
they have is a loud voice with
nothing to guide them as to how
it should be used.
The management of the tourney
should not allow spectators to
stand at the ends OF the court
when there are seats. A bunch
get together in that way and be-
come real brave.
The players did not make any
trouble whatever. 1t is too bad
that misinformed youths should
put as fine a sport as basketball
on the defensive by such uncalled
TOR actions. Fsir-minded fans be-
come disguised at such ex.
hibitions.
G11 HE best game Of the indie
pendent amateur tourney
- Tuesday night was the
Communal elts-Ferndales strug-
gle. And it was real scrap. The
youngsters on the Communal team
played theiT older, heavier, taller
and more experienced opponents
to a standstill, only to lose in the
last minutes.
1t was a case of the dash and
fire Of the Communals offsetting,
for most Of the fray, the steadier
play of the Ferndales. Smiths
long baskets saved the day for the
Ferndales in the closing minutes Of
the contest.
The thrilling struggle had the
fans on edge throughout. Too
much credit can not be given the
young Communists for their battle
against odds.
