AWARD THE PENNANT
Managers of the Interstate League
Formally Award the Pannant
to the Sycamore Team.
COUNTRY TEAMS uNREPRESENTED.

The managers of five of the teams of
the Interstate Base Bali League met at
the Sherman House in Chicago last
evening and awarded the pennant of
the season to the Sycamore team. The
protests of the Racine team to certain
games played by the Sycamore team
were not allowed and the pennant was
awarded on the showing made by the
teams before the close of the season.
The manager Of the Sycamore team
was not present at the meeting but a
cheap pennant has been purchased and
it will be forwarded to the Illinois city
as decoration for the ball park.
None of the managers of the teams
in the smaller cities In the league were
present at the meeting and it is evil
dent that these cities will not be repre-
scented in the league again next year.
At the meeting there was no talk of re-
organizing the league as the Chicago
Managers fear that it will be impos-
sible to secure teams in Sycamore, Ra-
cine, Kenosha, Elgin or Aurora.
After the business meeting of the
league the managers went to the grille
room of the hotel and a dinner was
served in honor of the closing of the
league. It is possible that some of the
fines paid in by the Kenosha team were
utilized in buying this dinner but if
such is the fact it is not probable that
the entry will appear on the minutes of
the meeting.
Neither manager Ed Alleman of this
city nor Armstrong of Racine atten-
ded the meeting and this seems to indi-
cate that both Kenosha and Racine are
through with the interstate.

The champion athletic team of the
Y. M. G. A. is being reorganized for
another winters work and the mem
bers of the team expect to be able to
keep Kenosha at the top of Y. M. C. A.
Athletics inlthesstate during the next
championship season. The Kenosha
team has for two years been the lead
ing Y. M. c. A. team of the state and
there is little reason to believe that
they will be defeated during the season
now opening.
The make up of the team will be
about the same as last year although
there is strong contest for places on
the team and the winners will have to
show splendid work to retain their po-
sitions.

anxiously awaiting developments in
regard to the proposed gambling pa

an invitation to go out and meet
the king of the betting ring. T.
Kenosha sports always had Aeir
arms wide open for strange and Mr..
Yaeger can looksto his laurels.

things from one of these two year olds.
Manager Breen of the baseball team

ing the coming season. Ebert led the
shortstops of the Interstate league last
