similar attraction has in many sea-

EVANSVILLE TO STICK
No Truth in Report 1t is to Seek
New Baseball Com.
pany.
so SAYS PRESIDENT BEMEN1
Pat Wright to Play First for Bloom
ington Next Sea-
son.

There is nothing in the talk that
has been going the rounds that ET-
ansville would become member of
the American association President
Bement, speaking about the matter,
says:
Let Evansville continue to grow in
baseball strength for about five years
and then we can talk of faster COM
pany. 1t would be mistake to try
and reach beyond our strength.
There is one thing sure" said Mr..
Bement, 1--WE will have a better team
for next season, or | will be greatly
fooled. We have our lines out for
some splendid players, men of estab-
lished equations, and the local pat
rons of the game will have no oc-
casion for complaint.
Thus far three men have accepted
advance money and are signed for
next season. They are Captain Tom
News, who will handle the team;
Catcher Cross and Second Baseman
Quinn, and if the latter is given Il
place on the team he will play a
stronger game than during the past
season.
Disputes About Players
Texas" Marklcy, who played third
base for Evansville during the latter
part of the season, has been awarded
tn the Corsicana team of the Texas
league. and Pitcher White, who played
in the Three-I league under the name
of Craig. will have to return to the
same club. They left there because
of differences regarding bonuses to
their salaries. Hcnnessy has been
awarded to the Shreveport club. of
the Southern league. for the failure
to report for duty after accepting
transportation and advance money.
These players will have to play with
the clubs to which they have been AS
signed or else not play at all.
ConnorS. of Bloomington. has sign
ed Pat Wright. of Little Rock. to play
first base. Mullancy has not yet been
released.

Decatur Herald: Old Pa Weikert
was the only man who ever gave De
catur Il winning team and he did it in
the face of continued and persistent
knocking. He was not good enough
for Decatur. George Reed had him
for two years on the Shreveport team,
where the salaries are higher and the
game faster than in the Three-I
league. Reed said while in that city
that he regarded Weikert as the best
fielding first baseman in minor league
circles. His work in the south mas
commanded attention everywhere.
