mains practically as it ended. The
lineup for the coming season has
not been arranged and may be serious
" disturbed by the new salary sched-
ule recently adopted by the manage
ment. There are those who claim to
know that George Bone can not be Sc
cured for $40 per week. No one here
is in a position to say this authora-
lively. but from remarks heard here
and there the information is CLEANED
that the temptation is not sufficient.
Anderson will keep its team of last
year intact.
Terre Haute is said to be anxious to
trade off Hipson.
Bannon likes O'Hara and believes
that with little coaching he will be
as good as the best.
The hubbub over the salary limit
is joke None of the players is like
" to quit because of the reductions.
Marion is anxious to trade Warner;
otherwise the Oil Workers team will
probably be the same as last season.
The indianapolis management may
make a mistake by disposing of Cogg-
shall Ollie developed fast last year
and will probably play a much better
game this season. He will about be

1t is said that Muncie will dispose
of either Higgins or Cusick. The rea-
son given is that the two are such
close friends that they play into one
anothers hands to the detriment OF
the team work.
With Curtis, McGilvray and Pierce,
Indianapolis should should be prepar-
ed for all emergencies. In case of a
pinch McGilvray could 60 to center,
the center to half, and the half to goal
and still the team would be strong.
1t would not be surprising to see
Cunningham, ST., GO to Elwood dur
ing the coming season. The Western
league has passed a rule that the sew
enth player on any team must be re-
leased to a team in the Western
league if any one wants him before
turning him over to any other league.
Harry Way, former half-back for
indianapolis, has been reserved by
Te1re Haute. The Hottentot manage
ment hopes to dispose Of him in a
trade. Manager Foor Of the Danville
team would like to secure Way. He
considers him the best in the business
and there are many fans Of the same
impression.
Big Bill Bannon, the husky cage
guardian of the indianapolis roller
polo team, who will be addressable as
"Captain Bannon' during the COM
! ing season. is already beginning to
cast his optics about the polo horizon
with view of getting in line on the
bunch which he will send in pursuit
of the Western League rag during the
coming winter.
In a letter to manager Cohen. of In
Idianapolis. last week Bannon discusses
the prospects Of the team at length,
According to the big goal tender
all the talk about western manager

to Bannon. but one really first-clas
player remained in the east last year
and he is Curtis. the rusher. who's
name is now on the reserve list of tn
Indianapolis club.
As outlined by Bannon, his plan
for strengthening the lndlanapoll
team during the coming season WI
be to secure the services of Curtis a
second rush and new center to re
place Coggshall.
Under that plan McGilvray an
Pierce will alternate at first rush, Cur

Muncie is anxious to go 10 Indiana

glad to secure him. as many rate hin
