Evans Hopes For A Much Improved 1929 Indians
Cleveland Indians enter 1929 with a heavily overhauled roster and cautious optimism. Billy Evans says a better club is hoped for, as star departures and key acquisitions reshape positions from outfield to infield. New outfielders Dick Porter and Earl Averhill join Charley Jamieson, while Luke Sewell moves to third and Tavener is slated for short. Training remains in New Orleans with a delayed northward start to the season.
