The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-03-30

The addition of Holke. the i'm
provement of Voter, the usual f1ashy
Sticking and Schneider and the pres
ence Of klugnlan in the utility role
combines to give Indianapolis a su
perb group Of inner workers. This
combination is worth shouting about.
Holke is a chatterboX, likewise Yo-
ter, and a silent Tribe infield is a
thing of the past.
The pepper is there this spring.
Klugman also is a chatterbOX and
he practiced in ali infield positions
Monday and performed admirably.
Schmandt and HOdapp, quiet type
of players, have been replaced by
two nOisemakers. who put plenty
of ego" into their work. Yes, sir,
it's a dandy-a glOrified-infield.
Rain Spells Game
The weather turned against the
Indians again today and their game
scheduled with Little Rock at Little
Rock was called off on account of
rain. Showers fell in Hot Springs
nearly all Monday night. This is
the third time rain has knocked the
Indians out of a game.
The Bushmen have been able to
play only one contest this spring.
Another effort will be made to meet
the Travellers at Little Rock Friday.
Today's game was called off in time
to save the Hoosiers the expense OF
making the trip to the Arkansas
capital.

Buck Schemanske, pitcher with
the Indians last year, was in uni
form Monday for the first time

work to get readied up. He par

Cold Monday
The foothills of the Ozarks have
not been supplying the proper brand
of training weather the past few
DAYS and some of the athletes are
finding it increasingly difficult to get
in shape. 1t was cold again Mon
day with occasional showers.
Efforts of other clubs TO pry
loose an outfielder from the In
dams have met with frowns from
Manager Bush. He said today he
thinks he'll keep the e of five,
namely, Stephenson, Matthews,
Rehg, Russell and Wyatt. Each
and every one is too valuable to
put on the market. according to
Bush. Three bat right handed and
two left handed and he'll mix
them up against different pitchers.
Catcher Ainsmith, who has been
on the injured list. was ordered to
get out in the open today and take
some exercise. The club bOssesI are
worried over the backstop depart
ment.
Catchers Worry
They must know definitely shortly.
whether or not Ainsmith is going
to be able to play in his old form.
He appears to be certain of it, but
the Indians will be handicapped
seriously, April 10, when the season
opens if Eddie is not available for
duty.
Manager Bush chased balls Mon
day and let Trainer Pierce hit to the
infield. Ownie has been working too
hard. He has not been still a min
ute during the daily grinds. Fact of
the matter, he works harder than
the majority of his players.
