BY BRIAN BELL. Associated Press Sports Writer, EW ORLEANS, La., March 20— | Cleveland has the current edi- tion of the Indians of the American League in training and with it the classes of 1931 | There are 47 players in camp, ranging from the 18-year-old Mel Harder to the 39-year-old Grover | Hartley. Cleveland, with a new manager and new owners, is looking far ahead. Some of the two-score players now in Cleve- land uniforms will not wear this livery during. the season, but they are sure to don the colors again in years to come. One of the minor league graduates | already has made good, Eddie Morgan, former Tulane base ball, foot ball and basket ball star, who was a Southern | Association sensation with the New Or- leans Pelicans last season, has been @ven Tris Speaker's old place, center field. Morgan, fast and a hard hitter, has established himself as one of the most promising players advancing from the minors to the majors this year. Charlie Jamieson again will play left fleld and lead off, and Homer Summa, who knows his right field wall in Cleve- land, will try to outguess that barrier through another season. Gerken and Langford, who have been up before, promise to remain as utility outfielders. Gill, a rangy young chap, and Speer, | just as young and almost as rangy, will | be heard from later. | Burns on First Base. The veteran George Burns will play | first base and hit doubles, Lew Fonseca | will start at second base and consist- ent Joe Sewell at short. Johnny Hodapp will play third. Manager Peck- | inpaugh will act as an infleld substitute, |as will his former teammate, Aarof outstanding members. Although onl; 20 years ot age, he is 2 inches 6 feet in height and weighs 195 pou He came to the Indians from O: Ridge Military Institution, North Caro- lina. He is by no means ready for the exciting demands of the major league: but he is sure to remain under Cle land’s wing. Mel Harder is another schoolboy recruit who is on his way to base ball fame. He is but 18 years old, but stands 6 feet in his sox and scales 180, still far short of full growth. He is a product of Technical High School, Omaha. The size of the Cleveland pitchers is impressive. There are 14 who are 6 feet or more in height. Bayne, who is 5 feet 9, is the midget of the staff. al- though he would not feel small in a company of normal pitchers.
