CLEVELAND WILL
 DEPEND ON VETS
No New Players Have Been
 Added to Roster Of Club

Cleveland. Q, Ian. t,-lF- Backed by 2. group of ne" owners committed to a winning team for Cleveland. but with virtually the same old group of players that tih- lshed sixth last year. the Cleveland Indians will enter the 1923 season with their hopes pinned principally on better showing Of the last years veterans and the coming out of several promising recruits.
 Failure marked all efforts during the winter to add any major league stars to the Cleveland camp and Billy Evans, the tribes new general manager. faces the April start with almost the same proven material that Jack McAlister finished with last October.
 Evans took charge of the team in December after it had been purchas- cd from Mrs, James C. Dunn by group of Cleveland business men headed by Ava Bradley. a banker. The new owners said their chief concern was q winning team and told Evans 10 go out and round up the players he needed. They promis- cd what money he needed.
 But Evans found the going hard. He had DO good men to trade with out wrecking his team and no other major leas sue manager would cell any good men outright for the eames reason, So when the stove league season ended Evans had mostly some recruits and part of last years team to build on, He did. however. add Roger Fenckinpaush. as field manager.
 Knowing that tt takes pitching to Hin ball games. Evans Is hoping that Uhle and Leysen will show up this year in condition, Both men were consistent winners In 1928. but both had lame arms last season. Hudlin and Walter Miller who came through last year with good records despite the rather mediocre support behind them. will he on hand again. and Fecktnraugh Is planning some intensive training for Shauteau. the little southpaw who has been ae. cused of being mechanical Pecktn- paush and his two new assistants, Catcher Grover Hartley and Howard Shanks believe they can make winner out Of him, Buckeye. another scuthpaw, and Grant. neither of whom marked up many victories last year. are s',ll with the team. but the veteran Sherry Smith has been released neonditionslv.
 In addition Evans will take south with him bunch of pitching re- eruits including Walter Brown of New orleane. Mel Harder of Omaha, Harold Mckain of Waterloo. Iowa. Guy Bolton of Terre Haute.

 Jean with Holyoke was tolerated but Jean with Hartford Is odious to New Britain fans and his appearance tonight will be the signal for the "eoat-Eetters" in the east wing of the bleachers to start the anvil chorus"
