Many Of the Fans and Most Of the
Officials Favor Retention

mo ACTION IS TAKEN

Mite Choice as Soon as PENIS

Learned.

KEWANEE, H., Dec 4.-Oficers OF
the Kewanee Baseball Association.
have not yet acted definitely on the
matter Of engaging manager for the!
baseball team in 1918. The new board
of directors has been elected but the
board has not yet organized. 1t IS.
probable that a meeting will be held
in short time at which officers Of the
hoard will be chosen and some action
taken in regard to engaging man
ager.
The feeling among baseball officials
and many of the fans seems to be
that George Pennington who managed
the team last year which finished
higher up in the percentage column
than any club Kewanee has had,
should be given consideration when
the matter of engaging leader is TAX
en- up. 1t is believed that if the asso-
citation can come to reasonably good
terms with Pennington, he will be Civ
en- first chance at the management OF
the team in 10.
Pennington is a good baseball play
err, one of the best indelders in the
league and dangerous pinch hitter.
His bat brought home the bacon in
many pinch last season and he work
ed hard until he got together com
bination that put Kewanee in the lead
| for more than a week during the sum
mer and finally wound up in second
place after giving Ottumwa great
battle right up to the last day.
| II is known that several other com
ipetent baseball leaders have theii
eyes on Kewanee and would like to

here next year. Some of them are
men of undoubted ability. But it is
altogether probable that II Penning
ton will consider reasonable terms
