Hoosiers getting ready with Carr planning strong season
Charley Carr, Hoosiers manager and Cleveland-based star, arrived in Indianapolis to map a stronger 1908 lineup. He aims to sell surplus players to minor clubs, secure uniforms through Carr Bradley Co, and build balanced pitching, catching, infield and outfield depth to improve on last season’s close losses. Carr expects players Livingston, Briggs, Hooke and Marquard to be in prime form in Cleveland while Donnelly at Peoria looks to replace Davidson.
