THREE-YEAR PACT
FOR THE NORTHERN
New Baseball Association Discussing
Plans to Make Circuit.
Permanent.

President Burton of the Northern
association wants the cities that make
up the circuit to adopt an agreement
binding them together for three years,
holding that it would have a tendency
TO increase the supporters of the
teams to loosen up for parks, etc.
Decatur, however, comes out with an
elaborate argument against such a
contract. Decatur has hopes of get
ting back into the Three-Eye as soon
as there is an opening and wants moth
ing to stand in the way.
The Northern association teams will
generally have bench managers, a lux
ury that not all Three-Eye league
cities can afford. AS the league now
stands the following are cities having
managers:
Clinton-Ted Sullivan.
Joliet-Con Strouthers.
acknowledgements Rowland
reeport-Forrest Plass.
Decatur-Dal Williams.
Muscatine-Lou Walters.
The following are probable mana
gers:

two fine audiences last evening. Dix
on brothers, European musical artists,
headline the program with an act de-
cidedly original, introducing several
instruments new to patrons of the
Family and out of which they turn de
Iightfully harmonious melodies. James
r. Waters is a comedian who knows
the art of characterization, and he in
tersperses his monologue with pleas
ing song numbers. James Thornton
Field company have a neat comedy
sketch. Dyner and Dyner juggIe var
ious objects in fashion that makes
them instant favorites with their
audience. One of the members enacts
the role of Chinaman and makes him
really funny fellow. He also dis
plays a singing voice of an unusual
range. Mrs. Mae Richards Casey is
singing a new illustrated song that
is hit, and the moving pictures are
amusing as usual.

ticularly good otherwise, for he has
been fielding between 900 and .545 and
last three years. but he has been pick
ed up presumably as a mascot. He
has played for four years with Youngs-
town in the O-P league and with I'm

league.
It is announced that three recruits
have been selected to hold their jobs
with the Chicago Cubs. They are:
Pitcher Prefer, Smoke" Stack and
Tony Smith are the lucky ones who
will in all probability remain with the
Chance gang. OF these three ''rooks"
Prefer is the most likely candidate
to develop into a star in the opinion of
both Chance and Murphy. Prefer was
with the Cubs once before. He was
secured from the Toronto club fol-
lowing the famous $500 squabble and
is a graduate of the university of Hi
nois. Stack did some excellent work
in the box at New Orleans.

round bout at the Olympic A. C.. last

rounds on his gameness. Burke did
plenty of execution and won the bout
by a good margin. Montana Jack Sui
Ivan was to have met the sailor, but
when he did not show up Tim was
substituted Tim was not in the best
of condition and went into the ring
or short notice But for all that he
made the sailor use all his generalship
in the first five rounds.
Sullivan was knocked down and took
the count in the fifth and eighth In
the tenth the Bostonian hung on to
Burke and Referee Dan Tone did more
work than Sullivan in trying to pry
the two boxers apart. Burke tried
hard to end matters in the last ses-
sion but Sullivan clinched and was
on his feet when the gong sounded.
