BOOSTER FRANK
IS PRESIDENT
r. A. NIMOCkS NAMED TO HEAD
BASEBALL CLUB FOR SEA-
SON OF 1912.
SURE TO RAISE MONEY
Directors of Club Will Not Take "No''
For an Answer When the
Soliciting Committees
Get Busy.

Ottumwa will have baseball in 1912,
under the management of Edward
Francis Egan, which means at least a
first division club. OttumWans Will
have to pay for baseball this year and
not be treated as leniently as was the
case last year. The Ottumwa League
Baseball club stockholders last night
elected seven directors, and immed1-
ately afterward the directors elected
two officers, and sandwiched between
every action and in fact surrounding
every move, was the one thought that
$4,000 must be raised before the ring
ing of the 1912 ball.
This $4,000 is going to be raised be.
fore the opening of the season. This
was the positive statement of the en-
thusiastic baseball stockholders who
gathered in the Courier committee
rooms last night. Various means were
suggested for raising the money and
the men were at unit in deciding
that mo" would not be recognized as
an answer to any solicitors request
for contributions. The sum Of $4,000
is needed; the sum of $4,000 is going
to be raised, and every fan In o.
tumwa is expected to do his part to
piling up the three thousand.
The directors last night elected
Frank A. Nimocks to the office Of
president. This action carries with 1t
considerable significance. First of all
it gives to the baseball club a sue
cessor to Frank T. Lynch man who
measures up in every detail to the pre-
cedent for activity set by Mr.. Lynch.
Secondly it puts at the head OF Of
tumwa baseball a booster who is not
excelled one iota by any enthusiast in
Ottumwa or the Central, association.
Mr. Nimocks has demonstrated his
worth as a loyal Ottumwan on occa-
sions too numerous to mention, and as
president of the Ottumwa League
Baseball club will continue to display
only that spirit which has made him
man of unusual worth to Ottumwa.
Lynch Remai0s a Director.
There was one good thing about
Frank Lynch's positive declaration to
divorce himself from the presidency,
and that was his consent to remain on
the board of directors. This fact, to-
gether with the action of the directors
in naming DR.. J. G. Bonham vice presi-
dent, will give to President Nimocks
two aids whose knowledge of the COM
pleXities of the game are adequate to
counsel PreXy Frank to always do the
right thing. The balance of the d.
rectorate is composed of men who can
be counted on to put their shoulders
to the wheel and make noise like
powerful dynamos.
The full board of directors include
President Frank Nimocks, Vice Presi-
dent J. C. Bonham, Frank T. Lynch,
Charles A. Wellman, John H. Hutchi-
SCI, William S. Vinson and Edwin H.

The contest in which Mr. Reynolds,
WAS the leader in Iowa among agents
exclusive of general agents and agency
managers, was for the best producing
business secured during the period
Of the contest. The contest began
October /, 1911, all over the country

dental convention in New York, for
the two highest in the roll OF honor;
namely the persons obtaining the

Emery. The matter of secretary and
treasurer was deferred until the next
meeting of the directors.
To Sign e. F. Egan.
A committee composed of c. A. Well
man, Frank T. Lynch and DR.. j., c..
Bonbam was appointed to draw up a
contract for 1928 and present it to
Mr.. Egan for his signature. The con-
tract. except for one clause, will be
identical with that between the club
and Mr.. Egan during the past two
seasons. 1t is known that Mr.. Egan
will sign the contract as amended, as
he has assured the directors that he
was willing to return to Ottumwa for
another brace Of tussles.
The signing of Manager Egan: means
y fat salary. and this is one of the rea-
sons why the bugs must come across
with the necessary $4,000. Another
fact that makes the big three~neces-
sary is the deposit Of $1,000 with Presi-
dent Justice by March 1. This amount
does away with the 10 per cent that
had in the past been deducted from all
receipts for the expenses of the league.
The clubs now pay this in advance,
and an additional obligation comes in
the fact that each visiting club re-
ceives a guarantee of $50 for each
game scheduled. rain or shine.
How to Raise the Mazume.
A bulk Of the $4,000 needed must be
raised by popular subscription. And
a bulk of it will be raised by popular
subscription il the earnestness Of the
directors count for anything. But there
is now under consideration two or
three schemes by which few
shekels may be raked in. One Of these
/llls to the lot of an entertainment
committee composed of T. A. Stoessel
Joseph Celania and c. A. Wellman.
Another action Of the directors last
night was the decision to raise the
s4O0 guarantee by Saturday night of
this week, so it will be in the hands of
President NJ. r. Justice by January IS
The concluding action Of the direc,
tors was to recommend to President
Justice the appointment Of E. G.

season Of 1912.
