The fact that Marion baseball
fans are doing little Of anything
nowadays but talk about the great
team which the city will have
in the O--P league would seem to
indicate that there will be little
time and attention given to the
sport in an amateur way.
Whatever conditions might seem
to indicate, there rs going to be
amateur baseball here during the
present season, and plenty of it.
In fact, there are many lovers OF
the national game who believe that
there will be more teams IN the
city this year and greater interest
will be manifested in them, than
ever in the history Of the city.
This is saying q great deal, for
Marion has had some mighty fast
amateur teams in its days, teams
that gained more than a local rep
utation and made some of the fast
est professional organizations step
pretty lively when they happened

10 drop In on the local sand-pile.
plans are already being made
for The organization OF u city
league. wiich will be made up of
four teams. The players will
he taken from the ranks of bust
ness and professional men and
shop employees.
There is probably not another
city OF this sze IN the state which
can produce as many men capable
of putting up q fair article OF
ball as Marion. 1t would be
safe TO say that practically every
other man in the city, whether he
be laborer. mechanic, preacher or
a followc Of any other vocation,
has at some time during his life
played the national game and TO
this day retains his love for the
sport.
But Marion mas many amateur
players who ear really play ahc
game the way il should be played.
They like TO get ont occasionally
and enjoy game. but the affa:rs
of business prevent them from
making it a regular practice. The
city league now being planned is
intended to supply the needs of
such people. They are the ones
who will make up the four teams
and battle throughout the season
to capture the coveted pennant.
Although plans for the league
are in rather indefinite shape, eff
forts are now being made TO get
players together for certain repre-
sentative teams. 1t is now. proposed
TO have nine representing, the
Y. NJ. G. A.; one composed Of
members of the Marion Lodge, No.
80, b. p. o. T.. Elks and Candy
Lodge No. 81, knights of Pythias
making o sort OF combination team,
one made up cf bank employees and
another composed of members of
Marion Lodge, No. 400, Knights
of Pythias.
If there are other organizations
of men representing other voca-
tions desiring to get teams TO-
gether, they will be welcomed by

the rest of the pennant. chasew.
No applicants viii be barred, just
as long as they are willing TO
comply with the rules of the league
and will promise TO work for the
success of the league.
The schedule will be arranged
50 as to have games played once
a week. 1t is likely that Wednes-
day afternoon w1l be chosen as
the time. since tins day Is the
one in all the week which is the
least busy for the average busi-
ness and professional man.
Then ii is proposed to have a
boys league. which will play its
games Saturday mornings through
cut the summer. 1t Is from the
ranks Of the youngsters in knee
brceches that must be developed
the skilled and hcady old Lacquer,
and to any one Interested in the
game, it should he pleasure to
know that league OF the young
sters is being puroposed for Ma
rlon.
Physical Director Douthitt of
the y. Nj. G.. A. who is ar
ranging for the organization of
this league, thinks that he can ear
ry it through the season successful
ly. In places where he lived be-
fore coming TO Marion, he formed
similar leagues, and in no case was
there one which proved failure.
The boys invariably take interest
in the sport and it Is rare ;ndeed
that any team fails TO put in its
appearance on schedule time.
so far rs can be learned Ma
rion has never had but one city
baseball league which might be
termed complete success. That
was the league organized during
spring of 1901, with five teams III
the race. All of the tearls remain
ed intact throughout the season,
playing two games week regular
ly. The interest Jagged at no time,
despite the fact that one team fail
ed TO win q game all season. The
attendance held M until the finish,
and after the last game had been
rrFVr,r.~

played q nice bunch Of money was
divided among the teams.
This league was made up of
teams known as the Opera house,
Buckeyes, Stars. High school and
Kleinmaiers. All were nicely uni
formed and well managed. They
finished in the order named.
The following season another
city league was organized with
practically the. same players but
w;th different teams. The organlza-
tion made a promising start, but
after several weeks of playing, ono
or two Of the managers became dis
satisfied because their teams fail
ed to win every game, and the re-
suit was that the league busted.
Both Of these leagues played on
the old diamond at the fairgrounds
Nothing further was done IN the
way of city league unt1 last sea-
son, when u number of amateur
players got together and formed an
organization to play at Garfield
park. This affair was on a rather
unsoimd basis, however, and failed
10 last for any great length of
time. No admission could be
charged as had been the case in
the city leagues Of several years
previous, and the organization wa,
net sclf-sustaining. Many pf the
players refused TO help pay expen-
ses, the managers neglected to
get their men oat to the games,
and The league gradually drifted
along until it finally. disorganized.
II city league Is formed this
year, and such will probably be
done. an effort will he made 10
maintain such an interest in the
games and TO have the teams so
closely matched that il will last
until the end of the season.
