Ollie Tucker Still Is Hold
out; May Be Used
in Trade.
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor

SARASOTA, Fla, March II. -
Acting on the theory it is wise to
break the routine of spring train
ing occasionally, Manager Johnny
Corriden of the Indians divided his
squad today and scheduled a prac-
tice game of six innings. The
Tribesmen are slated to battle the
Philadelphia Nationals at Winter
haven Thursday and the st. Pat
rick's day program viii help tune
the athletes for the tilt with Burt
Shotton's big leaguers.
The Hoosier FASTENERS are in an
aggressive mood and believe they
can down the Phillies if given an
equal share of the diamond breaks.
From the standpoint of the team
as a whole, the Indians were dis
appointed over their defeat at the
hands of Brooklyn Sunday and
they hustled harder than ever dur
ing practice Monday. AS matter
of fact, the Monday drill was cut
short to prevent the hirelings from
OVERRIDING their exercise.
For the practice contest today,
Manager Corridor had a difficult
task rounding up two rosters, but
after giving the matter deep
thought he said the teams would
line up as follows:
PELICANS
Montague. IS; Fitzgerald. CT; Walker. RI;
Bonura. lib; KOenecke. If; NarIesky, Sd;
Andrus, %; AngIey. C; Burwell and

Wolfe. IS; CvengrOs. eff Monahan. lib;
C. Barnhart. 3bi Riddle. If; Boone, rfj
MarIowe. C; Daney. 2b; HOIshouser and L.
Barnbart. D.
There IS not a thing new to re-
port in the case of Ollie Tucker,
the holdout flychaSer, whose serv-
ices could be used handily by
Manager Corriden. The club Off
Gals say they have made their last
offer, and if Tucker fails to &C
cept terms shortly, he will be used
in a trade that will bring to the
Indians a new outfielder or in
fielder. Tucker is a real Slugger
during day baseball but not so good
under the night lights.
