Squads for .the readers of The Star. Today he writes of the Cleveland Indians) : ; - New Orleans, La., March 23. Noth Jng but a pennant will satisfy the Clve Jand . baseball players this year. If they finish . soond they will consider the Season a rank failure. They be lieve they can win the flag. They are ;ull set for it and eager for the race . to start. , . . . , j '. The Indians have all 'the confidence . ?n. the world and Trls Speaker, the brilliant player-manager, seems to have perfected a most harmonious, machine i that looks as if It might 'turn the trick. "Barringr :an overdose of ; bad luck, the Indians' are 'sure'" to --'be--, to hthe fight. " One needs to spend only a day . in this camp to realize it. j; - " All Depend On Hurler Before training began, every expert was giving Cleveland a chane to win the ' flag and all were saying . that It depended upon Speaker's pitching staff. . The experts figured he had Stanley Coveleskie as a sure start, but couldn't bank on, any of the others, f Speaker himself was a - bit doubtful; of t the "pitching strength when :he first began work at' Pelican , park. - His hopes for Success have risen x dally jj since "that Jlrst practice . because ..he has seen plendid possibilities in his hurlers, and now he believes he will have foyr br five first-class men to help Cove- ..Jeskie. .-. .ii- ;j ' -From the start he looked upon Jim - Bagby with favor because he has been through the mill with credit, Now it , looks as if Bagby' has ' gained some ."added strength and not only! that, but that some of the other doubtful ones peem sure of success, thus 1 enabling jBagby to have his needed rest between games.' ';.-. . ... .. .7; i . ... . ' 1 Uhle Big League Calibre . " George Uhle, a lad picked off Cleve land lots, who already has shown big league stu2 with the team', now seems ,ust about ready to be a real big leaguer.: Then :there is Ray I Caldwell, formerly of the Yankees. -1 After more A.br less eccentric jumps and wlerd ex ploits, Ray seems to have settled down and become filled iWith that same pen nant fever. There's no doubt about his' ability to' pitch. If baseball has be- 'cdme more Important in his mind- than outside things, he is sure to be a high -class man.'.' ' ' v:" '" ii ';!'' ' ,' !'" A couple or three years ago, . Guy Morton was a slab wonder.!. Afterward he fell down in his work because of a bad arm. Speaker even holds great hope In the return of Morton to his . old-time form. But If he jj is , good enough to take a game a week" or . a ' game every ten days and finish up some others, .he will be of great ser vice. , - ; :.; ': ;..': ' Myers Looks Great v Elmer Meyers, two or three years ago, was one of the pitching phenoms dug up by Connie Mack. . He Is a tall and., lean - right-hander who had r a genuine curve. He went to war in 1318 and he jgot back from, war last year and joined the . Indians late in the season- He wasn't a great success. This year, he looks great, having had a winter to build up and with a spring training, it seems he's likely to make things hum after April 1. All of the pitchers mentioned are right-handers. Speaker has only four southpaws in his camp and none of them stand out prominently. Perhaps sueh a condition may cost him a' ball game occasionally during the season. Perhaps ' it "may . even cost him the pennant. There should be a couple of strong left-handers on a, team that expects to win a flag. Some clubs are notably weak against left-handed pitching. .; ; ' Petty Beat Southpaw ' ' Prospect 4' . - Of those on hand ' the best , prospect is Jess Petty, ; originally - from " the Texas league. After his . war work, Petty went to Milwaukee ' and went over nicely last season.. He is a swarthy fellow with plenty" of arm stuff, but not a lot of experience. Dick Niehaus, also with Milwaukee last year, has seen- more ' baseball service and might be more .valuable. Joe Boeh ling, once with Washington, then with Cleveland, and last year, out of base ball, is back. He knows considerable baseball and seems to be regaining his cld-time deceptive curves. Tim Mur- chison, is a youngster from . Peoria who needs more tixne. , . Six right-handed youngsters are among the recruits. Tom Philips and Toney Faeth made good with Milwau kee last year. Otis Lambeth did some good turns at Columbus and George Cykosskl and Jim Lindsay are a pair from the semi-pro. field seeking fame, f, ; Chance. For 'Star .Staff . ' . On that list of sixteen men, it seems that Speaker will be able to pick .eight or nine huskies to handle the slab problem and if just one of his left handed hurlers - will go through for him, he may have a staff that will rank pretty close to the star staffs of the majors." ','..; - :,';"".; So far as ' one can see, 1 there's no cause "for worry about the balance of the team. There's Steve O'Nell as first catcher. Not. more than one other In the league excels him. He has Thomas and Nuhnamaker to assist him. i Both have had plenty of big league' experi ence and are capable xf going into a game any time and doing things cor rectly. ;. ' ' ''.' ' Infield . Classy One ;' - On the Infield is Doc Johnston at first. Bill "Wambsgauss -at second; Ray Chapman at short and Larry Gardner at third. Chapman is the , best short stop In the business today,. a great-hitter, one of the best j base- runners in the game and a . wonder in , fielding. He's a great power on a Tall club both in defense ' and offense. The j others rank with the topnotchers. "Johnston may not hit as well as a first baseman jshould wallop the ball, but he fits into the Cleveland machine beautifully and has, mure pep. than any or them, j - For utility work Speaker has Joe Bvans, 'Harry Liinte, and Otto -Neu, the last named being a soldier, who played at Omaha''- before v' he .went to ?flght Huns. . ':;h . - 'i Frank Grabf elderr a. Cleveland5 serol pro, is trying for a position. ; :: ' f ' .Only. One Holdout '. The only holdout on the club is Joe Harris,' -who took Johnston's place at first last season during the race. So far he hasn't come to terms, and: may not,- as he has' a big offer froftt the In dustrial ' league. His "ability to hit might drive in a few nails during the grind for the pennant. With Speaker in center pddi' Gra ney in left and ;Elmer Smith in right, the Indians have a great trio of out fielders both in . hitting and fielding. It looks like . a championship set, Speaker still is the peer of ; them all in his position, Garney Is a great fel low after a fly ball, a pretty fair hit ter, .and a .splendid . leadoff man, and Smith is a slugger. Joe Wood seems to be chief utility man and is likely to be In many games ; against left-handed pitchers. . Charley Jamieson, once . with the Athletics, is another" extra man, for service in the outer garden and Larry Gilbert, a product of New Orleans, is a sixth. . " ' "... "Bunch Of 1 Hustlers" Speafeer "It looks as if the boys are all mak ing it tough for me, predicting I will win the pennant, but -I do think I have a gang that can' do" It, barring sa lot of bad . luck," i was the -.way- Speaker put it. . "I've, got a bunch hustling for me. That I am sure of.- . I know we are. pretty strong. V It looks how as if theipitching stafl". will be all right.. My left-ha.ntlrM( mov nuV but.
