of the station, having been switched

but there is no known substitution for

Central League Will

Notwithstanding adverse conditions
brought on by unfavorable weather,
the Central league is in better finan-
ciai shape than at any time in its his
tory, and there are no Indications that
the league will have to cut short the
season and leave the championship
race in an unsettled condition. Ac-
cording to Information from the Office
OF President F. r. Carson every club
in the Central league is at least even

concerned, while Wheeling, Dayton,
Evansville and Terre Haute are ahead

Had South Bend, Grand Rapids and

The second division clubs appear to
De playing only a grade below the
class of the first division.
South Bend began the season with a
lot of inexperienced youngsters and
for several weeks appeared to be a
hopeless tailender, but under the cap
taincy and coaching of Angus Grant
the team has rounded too and is now
playing by far the most steady and
consistent ball in the league. With
the pitchers working in form this team
should give Canton, Wheeling and
Springfield a great fight for honors
when the final month of the season
rolls around. The only disappoint-
ment In the league is Grand Rapids.
Beginning the season with all but
three of last years champions, the club
has been unable to maintain the pace
set by others and is now forced to
fight for seventh place with Terre
Haute. The poor showing of the club
is due to friction in the ranks.
AS the clubs will be required to get
inside the $1,000 salary limit before
long the managers are beginning to
weed out. Wheeling has released
LEFTY Core to Dayton and given
PITCHER Scott an unconditional re-
lease. South Bend has disposed of
outhelder Pope to Terre Haute. and
Evansville has sent Pitcher Staley
