A JEFFERSON BIRTHDAY SELECTED
Indianapolis, March 27. The Indian
apolis Sentinel, which has heretofore sup
ported Governor Gray, will to-morrow
morning demand that he withdraw from the
Presidental race in favor of Cleveland. Its
editorial on the subject will say:
The Sentinel has taken special pains to as
certain the drift of Democratic opinion
throughout Indiana on the Presidental
question, and has discovered that it is over
whelmingly for Cleveland. Certainly there
arc not to exceed half a dozen counties in
doubt. There Is not one in which, on a full
Democratic vote, Mr. Cleveland would not
receive more ballots than all the other per
sons combined who have been named in
connection with the nomination. In many
counties the Democrats are practically
unammons ror Cleveland.
Taking the State through, it is an excec
in;ly modest estimate to say that 75 per cr
are in lavor of Cleveland as agalnste"t
field, and that SO per cent are for h.'" tne

Gnrie .Sentinel has a high personal regard for

Tfl? MANAGER SAYS A PEW WOEDS
Jerry Denny Signed by the San Jose Club
at a Big Salary
LATEST BETTING ON THE HANDICAPS
If all goes well local baseball cranks w ill
see the first game of the season before this
week ends. Manager Buckenberger expects
that all the players signed by the club will
be here before Friday, excepting 'Wood
cock. Mack is not signed yet, but he will
be on hand probably not later than "Wednes
day. It is expected that he will be signed
without anv trouble as he is prepared to
submit to a substantial reduction in salary.
Whitney will also be here, and, speaking of
this player yesterday, Charley Farrell said:
"Whitney is a good player and just as
clean a fielder at third base as I know of.
He is also a very useful batter and people
must not underestimate bis general abilities
because he is really a good man."
It is not likely that the regular nine, or
what is intended to be the regular nine, will
play in the first game or two, but probably
all the players who have been getting into
condition at home will be given a try this
week. The manager is extremely anxious
about the wcather.as he wants to play tvery
exhibition game that has been arranged.
He thinks the players will need all the pre
liminary games they can get.
The grounds are at present in a wretched
condition particularly the diamond. It
will require several very dry days to put
the ground in condition to be properly laid
out Still, Manager Buckenberger has
hopes that everything will be gotten
into good enough shape to have the two
games with the East End Gyms. Berger is
practicing here every day to play with the
latter arid ho will be a great addition to
them. While they don't expect to defeat
the professional team they think they will
put up quite a good game. At anv rate the
contests ought to be exceedingly interest
ing. During a conversation yesterday Mana
ger Buckenberger sqid: "Our timo is get
ting near now, and I am very confident that
we'll be all right. I expect Camp this
week, and we will havo him in harness as
soon as possible. I have great faith in all
our players reporting in good condition be
cause we have been careful in selecting
trustworthy men. President Temple wants
and means to treat every player honestly
and .fairly, and he wantsthe players to do
the same with the directors of the club. If
this is done all will be well. I expect that
Kayinond and Ehret will be in first-class
sliape, and if the weather is favorable for
about two weeks our players will soon get
into good form. Of course, we will know
more about how our team will be made up
aftcr'the boys have played a few games than
we do now."
Jimmy Galvin and Elmer Smith both de
'clared themselves to be in the best of trim,
and one of them may uitch a game against
the East Enders this week.
LATEST TOEF BETTING.

Charley Farrell, Harry Stevens and a few
others interested in the national game were
talking about the various League clubs yes

"Now 1 have Just returned from Washing

great team there. They'll make the best of
them hustle. Mike Scanlon is a great mana
ger and Jndsre. and I am pleased to call him
my friend. He tells me that Barnie will have
a good team on the 1 oad this year. I know
that Mr. Wagner is determined to have a
"winner if money will get one, and Just stick
a pin.here when I sav that the Senators will

think that Richardson w ill play in that city.
He will lose nothing if he docs."

club, as a matter of fact, reiuscd to offer $500
nnd one of its officers said that Gibbons
would not be allowed in the club's ring.
When Gibbons means business he will post
a forfeit We pay no attention to such talk.
All that he is after is a little free advertis
ing." The Whittakers Won.
An interesting shoot took place Saturday
