DEAL WITH BLUES WHEREBY TRIBE WILL OBTAIN HURLER PROBABLY WILL GO THROUGH
PITCHER HALL
DECIDES HE’LL
ACCEPT TERMS
Twirler Employed Here Recon
siders and Is Ready to Re
port to Indians.
CRUM BELIEVED STOPPED
By EDDIE ASH.
Pitcher Herb Hail, now employed at
the Nordyke-Marmon plant, whom Jack
Hendricks tried to obtain Monday in a
deal whereby Outfielder Zwilllng would
have gone to the Kansas City cluib, to
4ay announced he had reconsidered his
determination to remain out of league
baseball and would sign with the In
dianapolis team for the terms offered
Monday night.
Hall today wired Manager Hendrick*
in Columbus of his willingness to accept
the Tribes offer and is awaiting orders
to report.
The new situation will call for the re
opening of the deal with Kansas City
and it is likely that Hendricks got in
touch with Manager McCarthy of the
Blues today regarding the matter.
PREFERS TO FLAY
WITH INDIANS.
Hall is under reserve to Kansas City,
but does not wish to play with that club
because of his connection with the Nor
dyke-Marmon company here.
If Hall joins the Indians the Nordyke-
Marmon officials will grant him a leave
of absence, it is said, and he can re
sume his work with the loral auto build
ers after the baseball season closes.
If this arrangement is made the Indi
anapolis ball club and local fans will he
indebted to the Marmon baseball boost
ers for their interest in the success of the
Hoosiers.
The Tribe is having its troubles and
a pitcher of Hall's caliber will go a
long way toward putting the team up
in the American association race.
He is a big right-hander and is rated
a strong Class AA hurler. ,
He Is In good shape now. having
pitched a shutout game for the Logan
sport club onlv last Sunday.
He was credited with winning twenty
one games for Kansas City last season.
PITCHING STAFF
GROWING STRONG.
With Hall in line the Tribe staff will
consist of Cavet. Murray, Lynch and
Petty, left-handers, and Rogge and Hall,
right-handers.
Therefore, when this corps gets to
working id order the Indians no doubt
will upset things quite frequently m
the A. A. race.
In addition to the pitchers mentioned
It Is known that Manager Hendricks is
still striving lor a good prospect with
cue of the eastern major league clubs.
Secretary Clauer announced at Wash
ington park today that he had received
information from Owner Smith that
Pitcher Cal Crum, alleged jumper, would
not be permitted to play with the Beth
lehem club of the Steel league, which, it
is said, influenced Crum to desert the
Indians.
Crum is supopsed to have left the city
Monday with Roxey Roach, Steel league
agent, to join the Bethlehem club.
Owner Smith immediately went east to
stop the player and, although Smith did
not see Crum, he conferred with Steel
league directors, and is said to have
blocked the pitcher from playing at Beth
lehem or with other Steel league dubs
Secretary Clauer received a letter from
Crom yesterday, in which the twirler
Stated that he had decided to quit base
ball and that he wanted to square his
financial account with the Indians.
Clauer will let the matter rest until
representatives of the Indianapolis team
pick up the pitcher's trail and learn his
exact whereabouts.
In winning the American association
opening day attendance trophy Toledo
broke all attendance records in this
league. The league has teen organized
nineteen years and it’s a big feather in
the cap of Roger Bresnahan to set anew
mark for crowds. Paid attendance at To
ledo Tuesday was 14,945. which topped
St. Paul's figures by more than 800.
Jack Hendricks will be a long distance
manager for a few days following the
S4OO fine and ten-day suspension imposed
on him by President Hickey as a result
of the fracas at the ball park last Sun
day. Jack, therefore, will have to do his
managing from the grand stand.
Indianapolis club officials question the
heavy penalty imposed, because in Hlck
ev’s announcement not a word was said
about the Louisville club’s part in the
trouble. The Colonels •’stalled" as well
as the Indians, but Umpire Finneran
evidently overlookeed the part the visit
ors played. Finneran has had the repu
tation of being unusually severe on the
Indians ever since Je has been in the
league and it is evident that in his re
port to Hlckev he went the limit in
placing the blame for the disorder on
the Indianapolis club.

greatest catch ever seen In Cleveland
off Joe Jackson. The catch came In
the seventh inning, with two Sox run
ners on the bases. His feat made it
possible for Cleveland to win.

TRIBE RESUMES
SENATOR SERIES
Cavet Picked to Hurl for the
Orphan Indians.
COLUMBUS, 0., April 29.—Weather
conditions improved here today and In
dians and Senators seemed certain of
staging a contest this afternoon.
The orphan Indians, orphaned tem
porarily because of the suspension of
Manager Jack Hendricks for ten days,
hoped to do a comeback and break their
losing streak.
Pug Cavet whs slated to pitch for the
Tribe and, as he held the Senators to
three hits and shut them out in Indian
apolis recently, his mates were all gin
gered up In anticipation of victory.
The Indians wdre on an even footing
with the K. C. Blues today in regard to
the occupancy of seventh and eighth
places In the league race, and they
planned to make strenuous efforts to keep
out of the A. A. hole.
When Manager Hendricks was advised
last night that ho had .een fined 8400
and suspended for ten days by President
Hickey for the trouble growing out of
the runin with Empire Finneran and the
forfeited game at home last Sunday, It
was quite a shock to ;be Tribe boss and
his players, because nothing was said
apparently in Finneran’s report to
Hickey regarding tho Louisville club’s
part In tho fracas.

ways held by Umpire Finneran toward
the Indianapolis club for the heavy pen

Finneran always has had a chip on his
shoulder when officiating in Indianapolis
games and it is evident that he has not
removed It since last season.
The suspension means that Manager
Hendricks will not be able to direct his
men from the field for ten days and
therefore it was expected that Ollie
O’Mara would have to boss the job
today In addition to holding down his
