searches for firm of Washington at

Commission made it's report to congress

These claims ere being worked up by
the Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty of
1880. and unless the claims are allowed.
the litigation will result.
A large portion Of the claims are in
the eastern part of the state, in Ne

Geo. =. Wilson. Jr.. - Greenwood
Baos Ball Association and tn fAne held
IN enthssiAstic meeting as tho rooms o.
Tho 6reenwood Busfness League on Lit
Tnesday evening. for the purpose Of
oousidering whether or not Greenwood
was to remain In the Cotton States
League during tho approaching 1919
season.
A splendid attendance was on hand,
and It was quickly inferred that the
sense Of the meeting was that Green
wood should have league ball, and dis
patch was made Of the necessary steps
to secure IL.
Tho following officers were uuani-
mously elected for tho Association for
tho 1919 season: g. p. Elliott, presi-
dent: ". G. Peel vice president; and
I. r. Gregory, secretary and treasurer.
All oe these gentlemea are prominent
fans Of the game, and are too we'll known
Tor any comment. Il 10 assured that
every EFFORT will be exerted from their
splendid abilities to make the season .
financial success. The directors have
not - yet been named, but tho direct
orate will be composed Of some OF our
leading citizens, who heretofore have
made league hall possible for the
"Qneen City Of tho Deita.a
Orth Collins was reelected as man.
ager. 1t will be remembs red that later
during the last season when the asso-
citation and the fans were thoroughly
dissatisfied with the work OF We0die
Thornton, that Orth was signed to steer
the club through the remaining few
weeks of the season, with . r0tten per
centage in the cellar position. Orth
demonstrated his worth, enhancing IN
terest in the game and putting up q
better class Of ball than Thornton had
offered with more available funds than
were possible at the latter part Of the
season.
Manager Collins has made no den mite
ann ouncements 30 far save that the
f2vorite of the past two seasons, Ray
Rollins, win come back to his berth on
the second sack, which Is appreciated
by the fans. In the meantime Collins
will be on the outlook for other timber,
thoroughly saturated with the idea that
this season Greenwood is determined
to remain within the salary limit, re-
gardless of whether other clubs observe
it or not.
