PLENTY OF MATERIAL HERE

1t is Said That There Are Good Pros.
poets for a Substantial Baseball
Club in Norfolk This Season, If Or.
eanized in the Right Way.
Norfolk baseball will be the subject
before a meeting which has been
called for next Friday evening at 1880
o'clock at the Brueggeman electrical
shop west of the Queen City hotel.
All baseball enthusiasts and especial
ly the business men of the city are
invited to attend the meeting.
Norfolk has the opportunity this
year of putting out a team that can
stand up against the best of the fast
north Nebraska mines. 1t is several
years since an attempt to maintain a
well organized ball club has been made
in Norfolk.
There is plenty of good material in
sight right in Norfolk. AS a founda-
ton there are some capable players
among the young men who have been
playing as the Brownies" And there
are a number of men with experience
in fast baseball whose work has made
this their home.
1t has been suggested that a sub
stantial organization be placed behind
the local team and that some man
with a love for good clean sport be
drafted as a manager. Sol Mayer Is
one of these men.

Earl Fairbanks, the Norfolk navy
man, is limping around town with his
ankle in a cast, the result of breaking
an ankle bone year ago last January.
He has discovered that the bone was
broken. 1t was down in the Atlantic
ocean, near South America, that the
accident occurred. Fairbanks was
standing on the edge of a steamer
while the big vessel was coaling at
sea. Suddenly a crane broke and
jolted the boat, Fairbanks dropping
seventy-five feet to the pit of the coal
barge below. He broke his nose, in
jured his hand and received other
bruises. But he did not know that
the ankle had a broken bone within
it. He came home and felt a pain in
the foot. Rheumatism, he thought.
But the other day he went into hos
pital in Omaha and an X-ray machine
developed the fact that the bone had
been broken and badly knitted. 1t was
rebroken and properly set, and now
rests in a cast. Young Fairbanks is
son of Conductor Fairbanks, one of
the prominent Northwestern trainmen
living in Norfolk.
