much for Frank, lie Is ono of tho best of

out before, he's not a clover boxeri still, he's
Ulrlyiast, and ns Rnmo a man as oicr pulled

LITTLE EXPECTED OF THE CLEVELAND CLUB
DURING THE COMING BASEBALL CAMPAIGN
Lee. Fohl May Develop
Good Team From
Young Material In
side of Two Years
By CIIANDLEK D. KICHTER
AIlTtCt.B xtv.
ItTTLR Is oxpected of Clovcland In tho
I American Lcaguo rnco this season, and
tho fans will not bo disappointed It tho In
dians finish at tho bottom of tho ladder,
but they wilt bo surprised prcatly If tho
IndlanB climb ns hlsh as fifth place. On
form, tho Indians have not a chance to
finish so high, but don't bo surprised If tho
team of youngsters Leo Kohl Is collecting
como with a rush toward tho end of tho
campaign,
It Is reasonably certnln that tho Indians
cannot bo as bad as they wore In 1915,
and thero is every prospect of Fold de
veloping a splendid young team within
two years with tho material ho has at
hand. Thero will be a few veterans In
tho llno-up this season who will havo to
be displaced In another year, but for tho
present tholr presence on tho team Is
necessary to tho youngsters.
Both tho Infield and outfield of every
team which Is built with youngsters needs
nn old head to coach and steady tho In-
experienced youths. Fold realizes this,
and will allow Terry Turner, who Is serv
ing his 14th year with tho Indians, to
play regularly at second, with Jack
Qrancy In left field.
Really a Youngster
draney Is a youngster In years, but Is
old to tho Cleveland fan" and Is going
back. When ho broko Into tho lcaguo
Graney was extremely fast nnd boosted
his average by beating out Infield hits, but
with his legs going back, tho llttlo left
floldor's hitting has fallen off. Ho also
has grown slow on tho basos. Last season
ho stolo but 12 bases and was thrown
out tlmo and 'again on tho bases on closo
decisions which ho would havo beaten a
fow years ago.
Chick Gandll will help In tho coaching
of tho youngsters If ho enters Into the
system with tho proper Bplrlt, nnd It Is
llkoly Tumor and Graney will both bo re
placed with youngsters after tho season Is
about hnlf over. Another valuable addi
tion to tho Indians In tho building up proc
ess Is Ivan Howard, recently purchased
from tho Browns.
Howard Is a veteran, and a mighty
smart ball player. It la surprising that
ho adorned tho bench In St. Louis so
long with players like Austin and tho
many first basemen tried by tho Browns
holding regular positions. He can hltny
kind of pitching hard; Is a clover, though
not fast, baso runner, flolds awkwardly

but strongly, and best of nil, has a great
head.
Last summer Branch Itlckey discovered
that Howard was a mighty valuable
player. Jones probably did not think so.
becauso Howard did not play regularly
until tho last few weeks of tho xenson, but
ne would linvo been luvnluablo to tho now
Browns' leader as :f coach, whlcu will bo
ono of his main duties with Fohl If ho falls
to win tho thlrd-baso position.
Fohl hns two great pitchers and sevoral
excellent prospects, all of whom will 1m
provo B0 per cent, as soon as tho balaneo
of tho team shows signs of Improvement.
Guy Morton is unquestionably ono ot tho
very best rlght-hatidcd pitchers In tho
country. Last season, with a poor ball
team behind him, ho fairly burned up the
league. Morton will bo much hotter this
season becauso ho knows moro and will
not mnko so many mistakes In pitching to
batters,
Willlo Mitchell Is Fold's other star. This
young southpnw should bo a much better
pitcher than ho is nt tho present time.
Mitchell's disposition is his greatest handi
cap. Ho Is not a slacker, nor does ho fall
to keep himself In perfect condition, but
ho simply dislikes pitching good games
which nro lost becauso of tho weak work
behind him.
AVIth a high-class team behind him,
Mltchelt would bo a marvel, but until tho
Indians show some sign of Improvement a
wonderful nmount of talent will go to
waste. "When the break comes and thn
Cleveland tenm starts to Improve, Just
watch Mitchell Improve.
Of tho other pitchers from tho 1915
staff Coumbc, Hagcrman, Klepfer and
Jones should Improve greatly this benson.
If Coumbo can put on 15 pounds, ho Is
suro to be a stnr southpaw. Hagcrman
looked good last year nnd needs only
experience which ho Is rapidly gaining.
Klepfer will bo In better health this year
and should show tho snmo form ho ex
hibited In tho Pacific Coast League.
Jones Is coming fast. Ho has n glent
curve ball and when he learns what to
do with it he Is going to bo a hard man to
beat,

rilants picked up by Jnek Knight for his
Cleveland American Association team

Llttlo is known about the ability ot this
qunrtct, excepting Covnlesklo, who Is not
llkoly to earn n regular position. Bngby
was a wonderful pitcher In the Southern
League, and ho cost Clovcland a largo
sum. Briscoe Lord, the former Mnckman,
and Johnny Dobbs, mnnnger ot New Or
leans, claim that Bugby will bo a sen
sation. They contend that he not only
has a wonderful curvo ball, but that ho
also knows how to pitch.
Tho Infield will start tho season with
namllt on first, Turner on second nnd Kay
Chapman at short, with a merry fight on

earn him the position for a time, but It

KILLEFER ON THE FIELD
Hu a Staff Correipomlent
ST. I'ETCllSBUno, Fla., March 8.
When 1'ntrlck J. Moran's hopefuls begnn
limping their weary way toward Coffeo
1'ot Park this morning they resembled
moro n band of first trench hospital candi
dates than a bunch of light-hearted ath
letes preparing for tho summer drive Into
tho National Lcaguo ranks.
Roro nrms, Btirt legs nnd a general bind
ing ot tho muscles resulted from tho first
tloublo workout which took plate yester
day morning nnd afternoon. In spite of
tholr many, though not serious, ailments,
the Phillies laboriously wedged their way
Into uniforms and began to gently toss tho
ball around the lot In tho warm sunshine.
Tho populaco of tho Sunshine City wns
very keen about the antics ot thn Phils
lust season, but this year they nro al
most baseball rabid, having In their midst
a cotps of champions Instead ot tho pre
dicted tall-endcrs of 1915. In view of
these facts It was not unexpected that
a largo "gallery" was present this morn
ing somotlmo before Josh Dovorc, the
I'hlls ndvanco guard, emerged from tho
clubhouse.
All during the morning workout tho
local fans kept up a constant chatter
nmong themselves with occasional shouts
to the players whom they know from last
spring.
Tho work this morning wns really
lighter than tho Inltlnl trials of yes
terday. Mornn realized that In their
present sore condition that It was better
that tho players work the stiffness out
gradually, rather than take tho chance
of developing permanent Injury to an
arm or a "Charley Horse." Bill Klllclcr
and Al Dcmarce, who did not arrive in
tlmo for yesterduy's work, were on the
field this morning getting their prelimi
nary warming up.
Whllo Klllefer was a trlfio backward In
making nny definite statement about tho
condition ot IiIb arm, It was easy to seo
that ho was extremely hopoful. Moran
stated that ho believed "KIII'" arm would
come around all right and that ho would
be ablo to start tho season In Just as good
shapo ob ever.
The veteran pitchers, Alexander, JIayer,
Bender, Dcmarce, McQuillan and Chal
mers, confined their tossing today to fling
ing tho balls back from the outllcd, whenco
they had been whacked In batting prac
tlco. This retrieving work, they consid
ered, was sufficient, and Mornn appeared
to agreo with them.
All of the players seem to bo about
down to weight, and tho majority of them
look to bo In tho pink ot condition.
Shortly after 11 o'clock tho players quit
work for tho morning, Borne going In for
lunch and others partaking ot their rustic
meals at the park.

DICK HARTE
DICK HARTE MAY
LEAD HARVARD ELEVEN
Disqualification of Throe Stars
Puts Philadclphian in
the Running
CAMBTUDan. Mass.. March 8. Dick
Harte, ot Philadelphia, may be chosen to
lead tho Harvard football tenm ne'xt fall.
This change has been caused by tho re
cent net of tho faculty In requesting Cnp-tnln-elect
J. A. Cllnian, Boles and Tom
I'ntwrlght to drop out of tho student body
because of their failure to pass tho mid
year examinations.
This mandnto from tho faculty means
that Oilman nnd Boles nro forever
through with athletics at Hnrvnrd. They
will bo allowed to enter Harvard again
In tho fall, but will not be eligible for
nny of the teams. Enwrlght, however,
has a chanco to rclnstnto himself by at
tending tho summer school nt Squnm
Lake, Now Hampshire but will have to
mako good In his exams In September.
As a result ot these disqualifications! a
new captain must bo chosen for tho 101 fl
team and this honor ln all probability will
go to Dick Harte, a Philadelphia, who
was second cholco for the captaincy at tho
fall election. Harto was the first Crimson
player to scoro a touchdown against Ynlo
In tho Stadium In November, when ho
picked up a fumbled punt and dashed
ncross tho lino.
The baseball team also suffers by tho
banishment of this trio. Boles was looked
upon ns ono of the most promising hurlers
In college nnd Is regarded aH an equal to
F.ddlo Jlahan. Knwrlght Is also a baseball
tosser of merit. Gllmau, Harvard's Iron
man, comes from Honolulu, and Is ono
of the foremost warriors that over woro
tho Crimson.
