Indians Holdout Cloud Over Catcher Duo In Cleveland
The Cleveland Indians face a salary dispute with star catchers Rollie Hemsley and Frankie Pytlak. Hemsley hinted he will sign, but uncertainty remains until the ink dries. Meanwhile, Annapolis hosts an open hearing on the black bass bill by the House of Delegates fish and game committee, aiming to ban commercial sale of fresh water game fish. Washington County delegates back the measure, as Western Shore scholastic basketball crowns approach with Frederick battling Hagerstown in Thursday action and Garrett County receiving a first round bye. Frederick High girls defend Western Shore title against Smithsburg in Washington County Thursday.
