PROSPECT FOR TEAM MANAGER.
Mt. Clemens Mich, Leader.

The following was clipped from the
Mt. Clemens, Mich, Leader, saying
that Roy DeKay is being sought as
manager of the baseball team of that
team:
Roy DeKay former Mount Glenn
ems boy now of Blackfoot, Idaho
seems to be the latest prospect for
manager of the Mt. Clemens team

written here saying that he will
come to Mt. Clemens if suitable ar
rangements can be made. Archie La
Pointe has taken the matter up and
says that a definite conclusion in
regard to DeKay will be made in
short time.
LaPointe conferred with President
G. S. Ferrin, of the BusinessMens as
ISOLATION this morning regarding the
attitude of the organization toward
supporting baseball this year Presi-
dent Ferrin made no definite state
ment but said the matter would be
taken UP with the association.
Last year the Association support
ed baseball, and may do so this year.

Blackfoot fans would hate to lose
man like Roy DeKay as he is a
finished ball player, and that is the
kind that always draws the big
crowds through the gates. For peo-
pie will pay their money willingly
enough when they know that base
ball will be played from start to
finish.
Delays name has also been men
toned as manger for Blackfoot this
season but as yet Roy has not given
no definite answer.

Myrtle and Norman fled down

refuge in a closet, but the insane

standing beside ker, sent bullet
