The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-04-13

JIle experts around the circuit are
through. Anyway, the Tuesday
1racas here promises to be a red
not scrap, with the Tribesmen sat-
lsfied they are in fine condition to
give the strongest Of opposition a
battle al the way, especially with
Burwen out in the center of the
diamond.
Hildy and Lind Obtained
The Indians made two player ad-
diuons over the weekend. Carl
Lind, second baseman, was obtained
from Cleveland, and Oral Hide
brand, the youthful finger sold to
Cleveland during the winter, was re-
turned to the Corridenites on option
to gain more experience. Lind per-
formed with both New Orleans and
Cleveland last year, batting .307 for
the PeIcans and PAT for the big
leaguers.
Emmett Mccain is slated to play
second in the A. A. opener, owing
to the fact Pilot Corridor will not
have time to train Lind in his style
of play before the league starting
bell rings.
In the closing exhibition game Of
spring at Washington park Sunday,
the Buffalo Bisons grabbed the
laurels, to 2, in a light hitting
fray. The Indians annexed two out
of three in the series and concluded
their tuning up schedule with the
remarkable record of thirteen VIC
tories in sixteen starts.
Walks Help Bisons
Both clubs employed three hurlers
on the Sabbath, with Lee Daney
showing best for the locals. The
Bisons got to Boone in the fourth
to gain the lead, which they held
and increased in the fifth and sixth.
Russell Pence, a free agent, who
used to perform in the Texas
League, tried his hand the last four
stanzas. Wilson, Gould and Wertz
occupied the mound for Buffalo.
Home runs featured the exhibit
ton windup, Koenecke polling one
for the Indians and Wrightstonefor
the Bisons. Hits were four for Buff
falo and five for Indianapolis, but
Boone and Pence were liberal with
passes and the visitors were helped
by nine walks.

N the Indians preparation for
opening day. Plays and signs"
were rehearsed and batting and
fielding drills were staged. Man
ager Corridor held a long meeting
with his FASTENERS and it was an
nounced everything was set for the
jumpoff.
