The Peoria Herald says of Harry
Sage. who has signed to play on the
team Of that city: Sage has an er-
viable reputation, and it is hoped
that he will be able to serve. He
holds position at the arsenal. and
although he has signed with the
Peoria club, there is some doubt as
to his getting away. However, il he
plays ball, Peoria will have the bene-
fit OF his services"
