Cleveland Indians Baseball Club May Change Ownership Cleveland, De 15—()—Council fires smolder and there are pow- wows galore in the camp of the. Cleveland Indians, but nobody knows where the club will be when the smoke clears away und the chiefs finish talking. At present two important matters are eft hanging in the wind — choice of a new manager und owner- ship of the club. Last season the tribe finished far uhead of the place it was allotted by dopesters, Led by Tris Speaker, the Indians donned their war paint and wound up the season in second place, after having been “relegated to sixth or seventh notch by forecasters at the beginning of the season.

Wilton'’s Ability Unknown Wilton’s full ability is not known as yet, for the game with Mandan was played on the Wilton floor, which is smaller than either the Bismarck or Mandan floors and has a much lower ceiling Some of the failures of the Braves to achieve more field goals is laid to the fact that the men wer used to‘urching — their shots, as is done on a larger floor, but at Wilton the shots had to be straight or they didn’t’ register. The question now puzzling those who have seen the Wilton men in ac. tion is: What can they do when they get on a large floor? Several of those who saw the McLean men play are inclined to think that they will overcome the handicap of playing on a bigger floor and offer strong op- position to the Demons, Team Working Smoothly A little more time has been epent on offense work this week, an item| which failed to show up in the Carson | game, and the team is working more smoothly than before.

Wutzke, the Demons’ who showed himself easily one of the outstanding players by his work in the Carson game, will be in the start- ing lineup tonight, as will: Ernest Benser, Jimmy Olson, Henry Brown and Lofthouse, who all did good work in the last game.
