Ball Playing
in Oklahoma League
Former Star of the Union Print
ers Holding Down Third
for Muskogee Club.
ny c. W. SWAN.

Walter Ball, the former star ball tosssr
Of the Columbia 1Ol Of the Union Print
ers, is now playing third base for the
Muskogee Club. Of the Oklahoma State
League. and Is going like q house afire.
In a recent game, Ball got three hits
out OF as many trips 10 the plate, and
has made a good impression on the fans
in the Western town
Ball Is not only an infelder Of class,
but can also pitch a mighty good game,
and it would not be surprising to hear
Of him working in the box for the
''Musks" in the. near future.
1t was learned last night that Bob
Murphy has wired the manager Of the
Petersburg Club his terms, and may re-
port during the present week.
President c. c. Love. Of the East
Washington Sunday School League. will
have the entire roster OF that league in
the Amateur Day parade tomorrow
afternoon. Starting with the Ninth
Street aggregation, the four clubs will
lineup fifteen men strong, and look sure
TO make a bid for one Of the prizes.
Manager Cornell OF the Cornell Tigers,
will also have his club in line, just to
show there is no hard feelings. This out
fit will be garbed in new coats, blue with
light blue trimmings. and Boss Cornell
is confident that his team will make
good showing
The Washington Herald Club, Waver-
ley. Regents. and Andrews will consti-
tute the delegation from the Northern
League. while five clubs Of the Inde-
pendence League will turn out
-Four clubs will be on hand from the
Marquette League, while the Depart
mental League will also have a quartet
of teams in the parade. The Columbia
League will more than likely have four
teams. while the r. R. Y. NJ c. 4.
League will turn out in its entirety.
II Is very doubtful II the Sunday School
League will have single club in line. II
was learned last night that the National
A. C. OF the Independence League, would
not be able to turn out. owing TO some
difficulty in regard to their uniforms.
The following order OF the parade was
issued last night by Marshal Edwards,
who requests that the teams report not
later than l o'clock on the White Lot
Ellipse. Street shoes will be worn instead
OF baseball shoes.
