Grass Ball League wss organic.
ed, COMPOSED of The four cities re.
presented. ]. W. A. Cooke was
elected president. Emmett Put.
nam vice president, F. VI. Harvey
secretary and treasurer. The
managers of the four teams con.
stltute an executive committee,
and are the same men as above
except for the Kinsley team, of
which Roy Bevis is the manager.
The intention is to have each
team played three games on the
home grounds, with each of the
other teams. This makes nine
games at home and nine games
away from home for each team.
1t is to be strictly an amateur
affair. No salaried man. under
penalty of forfeiture of the game,
is permitted on the team of any
city except the picher. Others
must all be volunteer players.
The admission price to all games
is % cents. except in cases of
double headers, when the price
will be 35 cents. Double headers
to be played only when the pre-
vlousIy scheduled game has been
postponed on account of weather.
len per cent of the receipts, of
each game are deducted for
ground expenses. the other 80 per
cent is divided evenly among the
teams playing. Each team pays
Its own expenses. 1T is purely an
amateur proposition for the
amusement O.: lovers of sport and
particularly base ball in the cities
and surrounding territory. 1t
has been suggested that a trophy
be provided BY the business men
OF the four cite; repre- 'ented for
the winning team. Dr.. S. B
Riggs of Larned and Geo. Thule
of Ellinwood have been selected
as the official umpires. and each

Two score boards will be put up
on each ground, and arrangements
are being made with the telephone
companies for giving tie scores
by innings for each game. thus
all who attend the games will
know just how all four of the the
clubs are playing. We trust the
season will be one of good clean
sport. and one that will give
these people who desire..to witness
base ball and take a little recrea.
