Indoor Baseball Tried Out at Armory
Two Games at the Rink
Sunday.

After forming an indoor baseball
league the players on this side of the
river got together last evening at Ar
mory hall and put in a few hours at
practice. Nearly all the prospective
members of both the Elks team and
the Islanders were on hand. Some of
the men showed up we'll. The Island
ers, especially, took to the game like
ducks to water and it looks as though
they will make the other aggregations
hurry if they wish to keep up with the
pace they will set.
Two games will be played by the
teams of the league Sunday, though
they will not be regularly scheduled
games. The skating rink has been en-
gagged for afternoon and evening. In
the afternoon one of the Davenport
teams and the Islanders will line up
for set 70 and at night the Islanders
will meet the Elks.

Bloomington directors selected
a manager f:om among those $50 APP
plicants in the person of Joe Wall, a
change catcher and outfielder whose
managerial ability has been demon
strated in the east. It was voted to
offer him contract at $3.50 per, but
he didn't accept.
HannibaPs acceptance by the Gen.
trail association has broken into the
l. NJ. league and hereafter Missouri
will cease to figure in its affairs. Cit
les which are considered as applicants
for the vacancy are Princeton, Pekin,
Beardstown, Muscatine and Clinton.
Springfield's attitude toward the
salary limit, individual and general
was further illustrated the other day
when Manager Jack Mccarthy made
a proposition to President Murphy of
the Chicago Cubs to purchase an out
fielder in the spring to take the place
of Cocash. It's not likely that any
player whom Chicago considered good
enough for trial will work for $3.50
a month.
Clint Martin, the outfielder who
played with Davenport and Rock Is
land several years ago, is dead at his
home at Frankfort, Pa.
