With the Coast league in another upheaval, due to the outcome of yesterday’s special session at Frisco, the In- dians’ chances of obtaining players from the big leagues for the present took a blow on the chin and as the Tribe ets OT fe is in dire need of new play- ing talent, hence the trip! | East of Killifer. | Stories have been rife in local dia- | mond circles that Killifer planned to} take over the management of the} club when the Indians came home unless they perked up tn their play- ing, but the Information that Kullifer | is going East puts at end to these rumors for the present.
