MAYFIELD, KY, April 29.-For
once the Indians weren't rained out
yesterday, but the result YVES the
same. The Hoosiers were frozen
out by cold wave that struck
western Kentucky and the exhibit
ton with Nashville was tossed into
the discard.
Red Killefer hoped to take his
Tribesmen to Union City, Tenn, to-
day to battle the Louisville Colonies,
who have lost ground to the ele-
ments in the same fashion as his
own club. Tomorrow and Thurs
day the Indians are scheduled to
face the Southern Association
Chicks in Memphis and on Friday
and Saturday the Toledo Mud Hens
will be played in Mayfield to end
the Tribes stay below the Ohio
River.
In listing the players who will go
to Union City today and to Mem
phis tomorrow ana Thursday, Man
ager Killefer picked his team that
will open the American Association
season in Columbus next Tuesday.
Here is the list:
Catchers-Riddle, Sprinz and
Moore.
Pitchers-Turner, Gallivan, Myles
Thomas, Chamberlain, Elliott,
Paige, Walsh, Wright, Harris and
Porter. Stewart Bolen, veteran
southpaw, won't be ready. He is in
Indianapolis undergoing medical re-
pairs.

dore, Bluege, Lawrie and Rhein.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Cooney
Stoneham, Cotelle and Ellis.

chased by the Indians, is figured

Stevie Homers in Drill
Chief Killefer sent his regulars
through a long batting drill yester-
day before the boys were compelled
to give way to cold weather and
damp grounds. Pitchers employed
were Turner, Myles Thomas, Cham
berlain, Walsh, Page, Gallivan and
Wright. Outfelder Riggs Stephen
son finally cleared up his batting
eye and blasted the sphere over the
left field fence. No infield practice
was held, owing to the football
weather that followed the Sunday
rain.
Manager Killefer was forced to
call off his plans to take the Indi-
ans to Indianapolis to complete
training. The Memphis and Toledo
clubs declined to consent to the
cancellation of their games with the
Hoosiers and declared they would
hold him to the contracts. There
fore, the Tribesmen will have to dc
the best they can and hope for a
little sunshine before they hit the
long, long American Association
championship trail on April Is.
Manager Killefer has had enough
of Ohio River valley training camp,
and is on the watch for a choice
spot to pitch camp in Florida il
1886.
Hospitality in this section hardl!
can be surpassed, but the ball play
J ers don't get enough batting drill
on account of drippy clouds.
, Bob Logan May Return
The Indians are a half a game
ahead Of Louisville, anyway. The
Colonies played one nine-innine
game and lost it and the Hoosier;
lost one nine-inning affair and fin
ished ahead in a five-inning strug-
gle.
Manager Killefer is keeping his
ear to the ground listening to any
thing the Brooklyn Dodgers have to
say He is positive now that Bob
0efty) Logan will be sent back to
the Indians within the next month.
He will need him. Stewart Bolen's
illness has created a problem in the
left-handed mound department. In
the meantime Kiliefer will try to
build up young Freckles Sharp, kid
southpaw from California.
Red Wright may land a relief
