New Orleans, NdrCn o1.--l Nc oll slate has been dE-ipcd clean and it's q new deal all around with the Cleveland Indians. now in their last stages of conditioning for the 1928 baseball season.
 New owners. new management and a training base new to the club, all play a part in making the Tribe as fertile q baseball soil ss any youngstcr could want in which to sprout his big league winds.
 And sprouting big league wings is just what is being done by a num- Der Of aspiring youngsters, daily going through the rigorous grind that fits the athletes 10 give the customers their moneys worth after April 13.
 Although the club did not acquire q flock Of new stars during the off season by paying eXorbitant prices to minor league clubs, the manage mont is more than satisfied with the results of the work shown at New Orleans by the entire club.
 Both Billy Evans, new general manager of the club, and Roger Pec!s.npauch, field leader, are highly elated with the surprising class shown by some of the rockies.
 The find of the year, as far as Cleveland is concerned. is Edward "Cy" Morgan, former Tulane Uni vsrsity star athlete and late of the New Orleans club. Here is a fel. low who finally may take Iris Speakers place in center field.
 "He is the best outfeld prospect I have seen since the day 'Shocless Joe Jackson broke into the Ameri- can leaeuc.' says Billy Evans, point
 ing out the tgim-looking 2S-year-old si&-footCr.
 Coming from one who has seen scores of "Shoclcss Jocs" come and go. such information must be taken seriously and. from the way the young@tcr looks in the scrub games, there is a possibility of the middle garden at Dunn field getting much the same attention this summer as it did in the days when the Gray Eaglc" roam cd there.
 Another of the recruits who has made a hit with the management is Jonah Goldman, the fintielder plucked from the campus Of Syra- cuse University.
 When Goldman was obtained, a collegian with no professional ex- pcricncc whatsoever. nothing start ling was expected of the boy, but soon after tine team arrived at New Orleans. "Goldic' gave evidence of being a star in the making. Particularly impressive is his field ing, and should he be able to hit major league pitching, Joey Sewcll may have a fight on his hands be- | fore long. Goldman will be re- 1 tainod until the last pruning orders arc given to the big league clubs in Junn, and then he will be let out on | option. subject to recall any time. 1 4 player of G0ldmans limited i oHper!enCo would be benefited more ! by daily work in some high-class minor loag'lc than hy gracing the
 bench for tine Indians. the manage mcnt hGGros. IL is funny how John 1 McGraw and his Giants have the i tough luck of missing such q find as 1 Goldman. who is from Brooklyn, in ! their sweeping quest for a Jewish youn gHtor With baseball class. { IonrGord and CHI, outtielders; Montague and Jcssce. infeldcrs: i EayAe Farrell and Harder, pitchers, ] and Dick Stahlman, a catcher, are other youngsters who have shown to advantage this spring and Of whom more will be heard latter.
 i Although Evans and 'eckinpaugh 1 will 20 out on a limb predicting the Indians position when the curtain goes down nnEt October. both feel that the Tribe should do better than last yrar.
