The Paris of America this season will
have strong amateur nine, which has
already been organized under The name of
the 'Star Baseball Association" and COM
prises some of the best local talent in the
city,. The officers of the Association are;
President, B. +. Shot; Vice President,
Treasurer J. Eschenbrenner. The PLAYERS
are Geo. Miller, late of the Springfield, 0.
club; Shumard, of the Shamrocks; Riley,
OF the Mohawk Browns; Maloy, French
Ewing and Hewhall. Two men are wanted
10 complete the nine. Geo. Miller is man
aging things and proposes to place Ewing
on second base and Sol French in left field.
This is not right. French is no. profes-
sional player, but is far above the average
fielder and second baseman and is
a very hard hitter. We believe in placing
n player where he can do the most good
and feel positive that French will add t.
the strength of the club if put on second
base. Ewing is good on second, but
French is equally as good, ii not better.
