INDOOR BASEBALL FOR AHMEEk
Team is Organized and Ready to
Meet All Corners.

Indoor baseball is TO be revived this
winter i'm Ahmeek and a good team
Is TO be organized and play independ
ent ball. says the Keweenaw Miner
The boys will have very little expense
this year. The team will use the base
ball uniforms of the outdoor baseball
nine. The village hall can be secured
for their games and this will prove an
ideal place for the sport. The win
dows will have to be screened and a
trap door built for the stairway and
the hall will be ready for the opening
game.
The Ahmeek team will have a num-
her of old indoor players in their line
up and they will be strong enough to
meet all comers. Charles Hoar of Tri-
mountain is now working at Ahmeek
and can be secured TO do the pitching.
Hoar has had number OF years eX-
perience in that position and is one of
the best I'm the business. Art King
who has caught the past couple OF
years for the team will again be i'm
that position, this will make a very
strong battery as in case of Hoar be-
ing batted out, he will change position
with King, who can pitch fairly good
game, this giving the team two good
pitchers. Dr. Kruger will cover first
sack and according to the manner he
held down that position last year, the
management may be assured every
fal nf
that way. Tom Rapson will hold down
second and John Kurie will try out for
third. The short positions will be
well taken care of by John G.. Ben
nets and Ed Kinzel. both old timers
In their positions and offering little
room for Improvement. There will be
a number out for the two fielding
positions all Of them we'll able to fill
these positions. Jay Reilly John
Beaudoin and Thomas Dunnigan are
the most likely candidates for the
vacant positions. A meeting viii be
called next week for the purpose OF
organizing and financing the team.
Proposed Keweenaw League.
There is quite little talk being
started of an indoor baseball league
being organized i'm Keweenaw county.
There are six fire departments in the
county and IL is thought that league
made up of the members of those de-
partmcnts would prove interesting. Al
louez department could easily secure
fast nine that could keep well up In
the percentage column. Then the Ah-
meek village and mine departments
would also enter team. Copper city
Mohawk and Ojbway are the other
teams.

John &. Foster. in the New York
Telegram, says:
lowing to the success which the
washington club has had this year, II
is the opinion Of many that the team
will be a more dangerous factor for the
championship of ;he American league
i'm 1913 than it has been in 1912,
"Ths is the FIRST season in which
Washington has been a boardwalk

the big show.

posed of some very good material

terinl which Is really bad. If he is able
to hit up little strength in one or
two positions between now and the
Ibcginning of the next season he may
enter tho fight in the spring with e
formidable aggregation.

eard To the chances OF the Washing

they were outplayod I'm some other de-
partments OF the field.
"rheir defense would have been so
strong that their ability to mako two

but it was his first big one. Every
body knew that it was big one.
Why, whole block of tenementS

He was at his post upon the
car now, holding on grinlly as'the
vehicle swung from side to side.
The horses dashed through the
deserted streets, and from
thousand windows heads were
thrust out and cries and ques-
tions showered upon the men.
Nobody answered, nobody
thought of them. All eyes were
turned toward the east, where a
line of fame lit up the sky.
Halloran's mind went working
back during that wild journey.
He had been a fireman only six
weeks. He was an ex-convict.
Nobody knew that-nobody ex-
cept Chief Porter. And Porter
had believed in him and had kept
his secret faithfully. After three
years in Sing Sing for a crime
that should, at most, have merited
a short period of detention in FL
mira reformatory, Halloran had
been embittered against society.
And Porter had found him and
plucked him out of the mud and
given him his post. Porter be-
lieved in him.

not. They had been married only
