Trade Territory

Hutchinson. Kan, May 16.-It has
leaked out at last.
Wichita has been trying to slip one
over, or around or above Hutchinson,
and get the Rock Island to build a
branch from Wichita to Arlington,
Reno county, which would give Wich-
tia pull at a lot of new territory in
Reno county and at the same time cut
Hutchinson out of it.
Here's the way it leaked out. r. r.

Island from Pratt southeast through
Anthony to Caldwell
He and Senator Noftzger of Anthony
took the matter up with H. U. Nudge.

Island to build from Arlington through
Castleton and southeastern Reno di-
rect to Wichita.

struction Co.'S office are plans for a
new concrete grand stand and other

the local (National league) club.
1T was Mr. Robinson's intention to
postpone the building or the immense
concrete stand 1ntil Mr.. Bresnahan
had built up a winner" said Mr. Stein
niger Friday, "and I will carry out
his wishes. have the plans and spe-
cifications all drawn and could COM
nlence work on the new stands tomor-
row, If called upon to do So"
Mr.. Steininger built the present
stands at League park. He also built
the old fixtures, which were destroyed
by fire four days after Frank De Hass
Robinson switched his Cleveland team
TO ST. Louis.

Mr.. Steininger expressed himself as
confident Manager Roger Bresnahan
would lead his team through sue
cessful campaign. The new president
says he has great faith in Roger and
stands ready to do whatever is nee
essary to make his regime a success.
The prevailing opinion In National
league ranks seems to be that the
affairs Of the club will pursue the even
tenor of their ways, just as they were
doing before Mr.. Robinson's untimely
death.

DEVILS LAKE TEAM WILL BE
GUIDED BY DIRECTORS THIS
YEAR - sHAuLis is NAMED
PLAYING MANAGER - oRcANl-
EATON OF THE MANAGEMENT.

At q meeting Of the committee APP
pointed by the Devils Lake CONNER
cial club 70 arrange for bali team.for
the satanic city this year the follow
ing officers were named:
Geo. Chaffee. Jno. Duis, L. P. Daw-
son. 1. a. Stevens and Jos. Foubert
directors.
8. g Jones, treasurer.
Jos. Foubert, corresponding secre-
tary.
Harry shaulis, playing manager
The officers selected at this meeting
will give Devils Lake a real ball team
and make the team pay. They have
secured a ball park much closer to
town than the one used last season
and viii have a diamond that will be
second to none in the state. The di-
rectors have contracts signed by near
ly all the players that finished with
the Devils Lake team last year. This
with another pitcher and catcher will
give us the best team we have rad
since we won the Northern league
championship.
The idea Of having a board of di-
rectors to finance and manage the team
instead of a manger is a good one.
The directors are all baseball fans and
know how the game should be played
and will see to it that the players en-
ployed play ball.
In selecting Mr.. Shaulis as playing
manager the directors have made no
mistake. There are very few players
in that neck Of the woods, that know
more about inside ball than Harry
Shaulis. He will manage the players
and coach.
The committee from the commercial
club to solicit subscriptions for the
support Of good ball team have met
with very gratifying response and al
most the entire amount asked for ($1,-
5000 has been subscribed
The team will start out with every
assurance of whole-hearted support
from the city as well as the more sub
stantial support, cash.
A good, clean, gentlemanly ball team
such as last years team was, playing
winning ball. will be a good drawing
card and will do a great deal toward
advertising the city. Mr.. Shaulis has
ordered the players to report for duty
on May 1.
