Would Like to Msnage the
the Team.
POPULAR WITH PLAYERS
He Would Make a Very
Valuable Leader.
Joe Camel is Also Casting Eyes,
Marionward, Quinn not Given
His Release.

Within the next couple of weeks
the directors of the local club OF the
Ohio Pennsylvania league will meet
and endeavor to elect a leader for
the Lime Burners next season.
1t is probable that some difficulty
will be found in retaching an agree
ment as to the successor of Bobby
Quinn. 1t is almost certain that
Quinn will not be at the head OF the
club next season. In the Irst place
he does not desire 1t, and in the sec
ond place most Of the directors be-
lieve that the club will be more sue
cessful under q manager who has not
played with the club heretofore. Be-
fore leaving here Quinn endeavored
to get his release SO that he might
be able to accept one OF the several
offers that he has for next season.
The release was not given as Quinn
is too valuable a player to lose. 1t
is probable that he will be again Ii
the middle field next summer.
There is good reason to believe that
Joe Camel, manager of the Tecumseh
club this season and who played with
Grand Rapids after the season closed
at Tecumseh, will be elected to he9S
the Lime Burners In the 1908 pennant
chase.
Camel was considered Last year but
Ferd Drumm looked better to the
majority OF the directors and he was
retained. Camel is brother to the
Captain of the Cincinnati club. He
plays first base and is reputed to be
a god player and a great leader. He
would like to assume the reins OF
in Marion.
Another likely candidate is Bob
Lindemann, who started the season
on the amen corner for the Lime
Burners, but who was forced to uuj,
because OF lame arm. Lindemann
is going to Texas where he hooes to
take the kink ont of his whip and be
in shape for next season. His reg
uiar position is behind the bat where
his work Is Of the best - Bob Is rav-
ored by number OF the directors
and Will be a strong candidate for the
managers berth. 1t is certain that
he would make good leader and
that he would not only play good
ball himself but would make his men
follow his example.
There are number of others mem
toned for the place but little is known
OF their chances as yet.
The directors have practically de-
cided that few of this years play
ers will be seen again In Marion ,n-
forms. Many of the players kicked
on the salaries paid them and kicked
because they were not paid exactly on
the minute. But there was not a
ball player the clubs salary list
who did not get plenty OF money for
everything he did for Marion. Many
OF the men loafed during the greater
part OF the season and played very
Indifferent article OF baseball, not
withstanding the fact ihet they were
being paid salaries as high as any
paid In the league The salary list
of the local club was higher during
the grea'ei part of the season than
any club In the league with the pos
Side exception of Youngstown and
AKRON And Marion finished at the
bottom. A club that only paid n
Thousand dollars month could not
have finished much worse.
The fans should overlook the fact
that Marion finished behind In the
first year In the league. Many mis-
takes Were made that Will not be
made again. The management will
be more severe with players in the
future and will obtain results or the
can will rattle. M
