Shortstop Ray White, from Okla
homa City, also attracted attention
on the Sabbath as he bounded the
ball around the inf1eld. It is EVIL
dent he is going to give Jonah
Goldman a real battle for the posi-
ton. Manager Mccain, owner
Norman Perry and Jack Hendricks
were elated over the form the lad
displayed.
Bush Praises Rookie
another authority praising White
Sunday was Ownie Bush, Minneap-
OILS manager, who vacationed in
Sarasota. Ownie left today for
montgomery TO take charge of his
MlllerS. 1t was rumored he tried
to make a deal for White after see
ing the youth in the one drill.
Bush and Mccain held a confer
ence and it is said there was much
player talk exchanged. They also
posed for a picture. The Indians
and MlIlers will lift the lid on the
A. A. season in Indianapolis on
Tuesday, April IL, and Mccain and
Bush declare they are determined
10 knock each others ears down.
Bill Burwell failed to show I'D at
the Sabbath practice and there was
nothing new to report on his salary
controversy. Owner Perry init
mated his terms would not be
changed, and that it's all up to Bur-
we'll. The veteran right-hander has
held out for a few days each
spring.
Many Holdouts Rumored
The Tribe club is remaining silent
on correct information, but its a
good guess there is plenty of trouble.
Pitchers John Berry, Ernie Wingard
and Walter Miller were others
among the missing today, and
pitcher Joe Heving is on the sick
list and unsigned.
Catchers Johnny Riddle and Tom
Angley were the subject of a con-
troversy Over the weekend that
called for some discipline. They
Wlntered in Sarasota and were liv-
ing in an apartment which they de-
sired to retain. The team bosses
ordered them to join the other
players at the Sarasota hotel and
there was some hot opposition to
this move on the part of the two
backstops, especially by Angley.
The Indians were dismissed from
practice early Sunday afternoon
and the boys fastened to the beach
and golf links. 1t was rather cool
on the sandy shores and a stiff
breeze discouraged most of the
batherS.
Basket Drills Tried
The basketball uprights at the
ball park were removed today and
replanted back of the bleachers.
The backboards interfered with the
inflelderS chasing fouls. The ath-
leteS warm up with the basketball
before going to the diamond, and
also top off their days work with
a round of basket shooting. The
medicine ball supplies another di-
version from baseball routine.
Manager Mccain is giving Ed
Lowell a lot of practice at first base
and the Idaho husky looks the part
of a dandy fielder. His batting skill
is yet to be disclosed. Mccain is
taking practice at both first and
second and is in splendid shape.
Frank SigafOos Ready
Frank Sigafoos is on the job at
second, his regular berth, and
shows signs of having a better year
in the field. He is an efficient
right-handed hitter and particular
ly valuable when the bases are &C.
cupied.
Jack Hendricks announced today
that the double -header scheduled
on Decoration day, May 80, the day
of the 500-mile race in Indianapolis,
would be split, one game in the
afternoon and one game under the
lights at night. One of the sched-
ule changes for 1882 calls for the
Indians to miss the Kentucky
Derby at Louisville.
