When the Indians were held idle
by wet grounds Tuesday the club
officials put the holiday to smart
use. They bought Ernie Wingard
from the Toledo Hens. He is a ver-
satile pastimer and is capable of
performing in three positionS-on
the mound, at first base and in the
outfield, though not an expert in
the f1y-chaSing art. However, the
lanky Ernie has demonstrated real
class as a pitcher and f. sacker
and his current batting average is
quoted at .305.
Ernie had a big year on the mound with
Milwaukee in 1928 and the following
spring was declared free agent by Judge
Lands when the baseball commissioner
put the dynamite under a number of
clubs when he exposed wholesale "cov-
ering-up" practice. indianapolis lost
catcher Roy Spencer at the same time.
Wingard signed with Toledo in 1929 and
has been with the Hens. since. He will re-
main under the winG of Casey Stengel for
the rest OF the current season and report
to the Indians next spring. The amount
of money involved in his purchase was
not disclosed. Ernie collected twenty-four
credit this year. He throws and bats left
handed, and is rated a mainstay winning
hurler when not worn by service in other
positions. Manager Stencil said Wingard
is not subject to the draft.
TODAY was another off day for
4 the Tribesmen, and on Thurs
day morning they will depart for
Louisville to wage warfare with the
Colonies through Sunday. The Nc
Cam boys will return to Perry sta
dunn next week to close the season
