Statistics prepared by Henry P. Edwards, American league service bureau manager. show the Indians have purchased four new pitchers. Wes Terrell and Clint Brown were the Indians only consistent winners in 1880. with the exception of Mel Harder, who was used for relief duty.
 Among the Twirlers.
 Cleveland's new pitchers are Fay Thomas and Howard Craghead, both right handlers purchased from the Pacific league; Oral Hildebrand, purchased from Indianapolis, and Thornton Lee, New Orleans south paw. Hildebrand and Lee may need additional seasoning but Thomas and Craghead are counted upon to take regular turns in the box.
 In addition to Terrell. Brown and Harder, Cleveland's holdover pitch- CTS include Hudlin, Jablonowski. Lawson and Bean, righthanders, and southpaws. Miller and Shoffner.
 Ed Morgan, of course, will play first base again while Johnny Ho- dapp is fixture at second. Condi- | tAOlo AS oAAOAS anu SAAAA o SAA0 NAASSs- tied. Evans would like to trade First Baseman Lew Fonseca for Third Baseman Kamm of Chicago. If the trade fails, Johnny Burnett, who was crippled last season; Wine- garner, Cotton States league rookies and Detore, recalled from New Or leans, will fight it out for the post.
 John Goldman, crack fielder but light hitter, Carl Lind, recalled from New Orleans, and Billy Hun- nefield, former White Sox, will com- pete for the shortfield berth.
 Fonseca still is on the roster. He may be traded, sold or used as util- ity infielder as he can play first or second, or possibly third.
 In the Garden Six outfielders are listed by Cleve- land.' Averill, Porter, Seeds, Jami- eson, F'alk and Vosmik. The first four are sure bets for retention but Fa1k may figure in deal as while he has lost some of his speed. he still can hit.
 The Indians will take the field with the same catching staff, Luke Sewell, Glennumyatt and Joe Spring.
 With an improved pitching staff and the breaches in the infield re- paired the Indians hope to play an important part in the race.
