(J THE DAILY PANTAGRAPH, BLOOMINGTON, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIU 8, 1921V '10 fast enough for this circuit. Four Complete Baseball Nines to be Seen Here in Training Season DEAL CALLED OFF Manager Dunn Expects to Trade Gussie to Some Other Club. PURDUE TO HAVE POWERFUL NINE TIGERS RELEASE BLOOMER ROOKIES Fothergill and Conkwrlght Offered to the Portland Club. i Ik ft STAGED ANOTHER WORK-OUT The Kellcrman-Cllnk deal ts off, according to an announcement by Manager Jos Dunn yesterday. The local association could not bring Clink Into the fold, without giving him a big league salary and tho ball park thrown in to boot.

Clink ts in the used car business In California being associated with his father, and wrote that the picking in that field at the present time Is very good and for that reason, he could not report to the Bloomers unless given a healthy contract. On tlio other hand, Kellerman refused to report to the Petersbuigh club of tho Virginia League, and asked for hlB release or an assignment to some other As a result, Kellerman rexerts bak Ia tha nlnnrn.r. nnil Manntrpr Dunn will try to arrange for another deal with some other dub for the rerv-Ices of the star second lasemon. If he is unsuccessful, he will proUiblv brintf (lus back to the Eve-green City. There are a large number of fans who would like to see the Cincinnati lad back on the south slle lot this season and their desires may be fulllilled Dunn will llrst try to either sell or trade him.

Miller Still Holds Out. Ralph "Lofty" Miller, the big southpaw, secured from the Canadian league In exchange for Catcher Bob Snyder, is still listed among the hold-outs. The bic liurler has been a bit unreasonable in his salary demands, and unless he takes a change of heart ery shortly, the deal will probably be called off and Snyder sent to some other club. Dunn ts anxious to land the husky portsidrr, whom he bellevs will be a winner in this circuit, which has of recent Cedar liaplds has also tied the tinware to Frank Munsey. he having evidently failed to Impress Manager Boyle.

Tacks DeLavs, the Three Eyo T-eague umpire, who was always In trouble last season, has been signed by President Albert Tearney again this year. Don't get excited, fane because Al knows better than to atnd him to the Trl Optle circuit. Tarlcs will tote his gun around the Western League this season. He will need soma sort of artillery when he gets out In the wild and woolly west. Lee Dempsey, former Bradley Poly athlete and Mollne first baseman, has been traded by Seattle of the Pacific Coast League to Des Molnea, of the Western League.

The going In the Coast League must have been a little too speedy for Lee. The veteran pitcher, Moxie Manuel, who clayed with the White Sox and then the Bloomers away back In the good old days, has signed tn manage an Independent club at Hickman, this year. BUCKS Mr. and Mrs. B.

Jot, a A. CUInkf Hi re tliey The first complete list of athlrtis who will battle under Manuger Joe Dunn, for positions on the PCI Ploomrr pennant chasers. There are just 35 players listed to date, and the ble Bloomer pilot states that if they don't make good, he can get TA niore who will. The P'-l 8'iuad is the biggest ever reported by a ltloomlngtun club and is probably the largest in rfce league this year. The list includes eight pitchers, elT catchers, eleven lnfjeld-ers and thirteen outfielders.

As there are only thirteen positions to be filled, aside from the manager. It means that twenty-four athletes will have to be disposed of to other clubs or given the tin-ware. The assortment of athletes ts one of the best ever assembled In Bloomington. and Ross Dunn firmly belif ves that his P'2l marhine will be much more I superior than the two which copped the pennant In 11' lit and Many Strong Pitchera. To date, eicht pitchers have been secured and there is a probability that several additional huiiers wiil be added to the squad just aa soon 1 es eome of the major leairue clubs start their arason next Wednesday.

Manager Dunn has signed thirteen fly chasers. The Bloomer boss wants the hardest hitting outfield In the league, and from the looks of things, he is going to have it.

Karl Llnwood Klein, who was secured from the Petersburg club of the Virginia league in the Jantzen-Main deal, is a real slugger, and it is going to take a mighty clever ath-: lete to displace the southern gent with the romantic name. The fans here know what Kddie Johnson can do in the way of hitting in this circuit, he having been a consistent batter with the Evansville club last season. His experience and training in the south with the Washington Americans should aid him materially in landing one of the regular berths in the outer garden. Should these two nililetea come through as expected. Dunn will have eleven recruits from which to select the other tutf iiidi r.

The local baseball season will be opened In full form and ceremonial at Wilder field this afternoon at .1.45 o'clock, when Coach Muhl's Wcsleyan hopefuls engage Coach H. Harrison KusseU'a veteran Btatc Normal university nine. Both teams have been going thru some atltf workouts the past two weeks and the fans are promised a pretty good exhibition of the great' national game. Neither coach was definitely decided on his starting line-up at the close of practice last night, altho loach Hussell has a more delinite Idea of who will start, than the Methodist mentor. The Wealeyan battery will consist of Alton and Haussler, the two Peo.

ria Central high school graduates. Alton has been showing up pretty good on the slab, despite the fact that he Is a catcher by trade. His high fast one will probably cause the Teachers some trouble. Mugs Mctiraw, the slender embryo attorney, win cover the Initial sack while Muhl will start either Darnall or Hulvey at the keystone bag. Both of these athletes have been showing up well In practice and will be given the acid lest in this afternoon's combat.

Chillle Edwards, the former Springfield high school demon, will cover the short field with Bane Pierce of last year's Ellsworth club, covering the hot corner of the diamond. Allison, Van Meter and Bou-ton will shag the flies In the outer garden'. i Teachers Are Veterans. Coach Russell's athletes have been allowing much class in the workouts during the past week and are picked by most of the rail-birds, to trim the Wesleyan crew this afternoon. The suburban team is composed mostly of veterans with a good record.

Jim Sterling, the Dufjuoln lad who was yesterday elected to captain the nine, will do the receiving for the Teachers, with Huffman, the big, right-hander, shooting the cannon I balls across Jean Harrison, the big basketball 1 captain, will cover first, with Bos- well on third.

OTHER BASEBALL GOSSIP Outfielder Bob Fothergill, who led the Three Eye Leaf us In hitting last season and who was aold by Bloomington to the Detroit Tigers, ha been released to the, Portland club cf the Pacific Coast League, according to the announcement received (n this city yesterday. Fothergill made a good showing with the Tigers tn spring practice, but was tip against too much opposition to land a regular outfield berth, as It would be a mighty hard task to displace Manager Ty Cobb or Bob Veaeh.

The Pacific Coast League Is the next thing to the majors, and if Fothergill can make the grade the experience which he will receive wili no doubt put him in line for a regular major league berth next season. Allen Conkwrlght, also sold by the II nnmnsa tn natm a A mnlA iinrt -hnwin in the closing games last season, was offered to Portland along with Fothergill. but his services were rejected by Manager McCredle. who had "Red" under his wins while with the Salt Lake club. Heini Sands in Gams.

Manager Oavvy Cravath. of the Salt Lake City club of the Coast league, is using Heli.lo Sands regularly at third base thU season and has named the former Sloorner to head the batting order. Heinle is one grand fielder, but suffered many injuries last season, which kept him out of the game considerably. Sands will get plenty of opportunity to play this season, being one cf the regular inflelders since the sale of Shecly and Rumler to the White Sox. Other Baseball Gosiio.

The Enid club of the W'tirn Association has released Pitcher Jim Bluejacket, formerly with the Bloomers several seasons ago. Here ts 3 good chance for Bill Jackson, of the Peoria Tractors, to land the big Indian. A number of years ngo Jim won a game for Peoria, even tho ne was drawing his salary from the Bloomers. A bunch of gamblers got to the redskin, who threw the came. despite the fact that close to five hundred Bloomington fans had nado the trip to Peoria to see the pame.

This stunt brought about his suspension by Manager Darringer. but the Bloomer officials later reinstated him when they had a chance sell him to Milwaukee and Cincinnati Bluejacket failed to make good v.th either team, however. The Oklahoma City club of the Western League sold Rolla Parringer, former Bloomer shortstop, to the Pes Moines club of the same league. Pes Moines then turned right around and suspended him.
