Baseball in Marion is hanging by
narrow thread today ana It all de-
pends on whether Marion people
care enough for baseball to give
$500 to carry the team through the
present season and keep baseball in
Marion.
Today the players are behind twelve
days in salary. The money was due
June | for work the fifteen days pre-
vious to that. Another pay day viii
be due Tuesday, June 15. The play
ers claim that according to their con-
tracts they are free agents and there
fore they will not play this afternoon
at the yard. They c,lim that because
the club Is more than seven days be-
hind in salaries they and not the
Marion Baseball company, own the
franchise and expect to sell Il TO
some other city in this section OF
the state.
But the claim of the Marion club
officials is slightly different Ac-
cording to the constitution of the
league the players become free agents
only when the club is back fifteen
days In salaries and even then more
time must elapse until the matter Is
taken mp in proper form by the Of
fcers Of the league. There will be

there will be one tomorrow afternoon.

that the players need their money ant
they have tried their best to get II
for them. But they do claim that the
players are still under contract to

be surprised who does not go to the
park in uniform and play this after.

ed to the players at q meeting this
morning.
The directors of the club charge
that Manager OJDay Is leading the
present insurrection. They say that
he is preparing to go to Sandusky 20
try and locate the Marion team there.
The only word ODay would say on
the subject this morning was There
will be no game today"
Now baseball must stay in Ma
rion. The taking away of the Ma
rlon franchise would give the city
blackeye before the whole state
and It would be blow that It would
take Marion long while to recover
from. The president OF the club and
others prominent in the business life
OF the city have devised plan,
something similar to the one work
ed in raising money FOR the Over
land shops Everyone will be ask
ed to give his share. II each gives
II will take but little to put the team
on its feet, pay salaries in full. and
assure the athletes their money for
the remainder of the season. The
weather has been against the club at
every turn this season. Things will
break better from now on and the
gate receipts will almost support the
club. II any players are sold the
money will put the club I'm good
shape for next season.
Here's n chance for every loyal fan,
every one who cared for good base
ball. TO turn out, give his portion,
however much he can AFFORD, and help
to get Others to give. II Is n case OF
now or never, lads.
"You are still under contract to the
Marion club and unless you report
'or today's game, tomorruw's also

'ended indefinitely and fined as much
money as YOU have coming" was the |
nltimatum sent to the players this ar |
ternoon by President Robert Quinn
OF the Ohio State league, the same
one given to the club by President O. |
Wolenweber.
There was big discussion when
he word was received from Column
bus hut It is quite Likely that the
team will play this afternoon. The
game tomorrow will be PLAYED and
VIII be called at three O'Clock. !

| One OF the most noticeable features
OF the sixth week of the Ohio State
league season was the shifting about
OF the clubs with the exception OF
Lima which cinched its hold on first
place after being given bad scare
In the previous week.
The week has been full of sur
prises throughout the circuit Spot
critics doped 1t out that Lima was to
keep on going down when put on the
toboggan but Fohl's crowd fooled
the wise ones, showing clean pair
of heels to the league and playing
the most consistent game during the
week. Though there is not regu-
lar on the Lima club batting above
the 800 mark II is easy to see why
chase. A daily glance at the box
scores shows that Lima is playing
the keenest inside baseball in the
league and winning games by brain
work, speed and daring, as we'll as
by batting. The Lima pitching stan,
too, Is entitled to much of the credit.
Aside from Lama, Mansfield did ths
next best work In the sixth week.
working from last place to second
Portsmouth after doing grand work
slumped badly. Much hard luck
figured in one of the Portsmouth de-
feats but the hitting of the down
staters was not on q parity with thai
OF the earlier weeks nor was the
pitching. But Doyle has good club
and temporary reverses ut this time
mean much less than they will in
July and August.
Marion started the week badly |
but made a great finish at the ex-
pense of Newark. The latter club, |
with new manager at the helm
and some new blood on the roster,
should come on strong In the seventh |
week. Without Captain Brown and
without the aid of Manager Fox and
Ieke Reynolds Lancaster has had a
serious week OF 1t. falling from the
first division. But taken all In all, |
It Is a classy race that is being run
In the Ohio State league Lima to-
day has practically a safe lead but
nny club, even Newark, still has a
chance for the pennant and another
month may see vast changes In the
Weather conditions are be-
coming a trifle better and crowds
are increasing as result. The COM
ing week should see better weather
and crowds that will smash some
records.
During the sixth week the best
stick work was done by Alex Reilly,
The Lima outfelder and Red Farrell,
Marion's middle gardener. Each Sc
cured total OF 10 safeties. Gowdy, of
Lancaster, still leads with an average
Of $40. Farrell and John Bull Will.

with $3.50 Williams leads in hits
