plumbing, heating, galvanized iron
tinwork; to ]. H. Hayworth for the

to be held In the Blues Armory, has

While 1t has not been definitely de-
tcrmined to hold such al indoor meet,
most of those interested look with
favor on the proposition. and unless
there should be opposition on the part
Of the Building Inspector, 1t is moro
than likely that the meet will be pull

Most of the replies have already been
received, and 1t is expected that all
will he in tomorrow morning. On the
answers thus far received It Is sur
prising TO see the unanimity with
which the managers Of the several
teams seeking admission to the league
object to professional ball players.
Another surprising fact is that few
of the managers have selected as
members Of their teams any but men
with whom they are acquainted.
Gets Contracts From layer
At least one man has gone to the
trouble Of having his players sign
contracts guaranteeing tina they you'd
show up on such days as may be de-
signntcd for play. The contract. SO it
is said. is of the iron-clad kind. and
reflects credit upon the man MAKING
the application.
Supervisor Hadcock. of Christ
Church Association is another of the
enthusiasts who look with pleasure
upon the arrival Of the baseball play
ing season. He thinks that there can
be no excuse for the Amateur League
! falling. Indeed this is the consensus
Of opinion. and when the committee
gets together for final action. and the
AFFAIRS of the league are turned over
to the board Of directors which will
be composed OF the captains or man
ayers of the several teams represented.
IT looks as If that body should have
comparatively easy sailing.
1t is. urgently %requestion that all
persons in receipt OF the circular let
ter sent out answer at once if the
reply has not already been sent in.
Prompt response on the part of the
will greatly expedite tho
work Of the committee. Time Is short
between now and the actual playing
season, and. as has been pointed ont
on more than one occasion. It is cs-
sential that no time be lost.
