DECATUR TO HAVE A
NEW BASEBALL PARK

According to reports which seem to
be well founded, George Reed will be
back in Decatur next year, and will
take over the Decatur baseball club.
The prospects are that two prominent
business men of Decatur will back
Reed in taking over the team for next
season. These men are said to have
been negotiating for land where they
will construct a new park, which they
will lease for a number of years. The
new park will be close to the old one,
and will be one of the best in the
league.
1t has been hard proposition to get
the old diamond in as good condition
as the officials would like, and they
figure that to build new one would
be better in the end Every opposing
team that comes to Decatur kicks on
the playing field, and some come forth
with the statement that the reason the
Turks make more errors than the 9th
er clubs is on account of the condition
of the field. This statement is backed
up with the fact that the Turks play
better game on the road than at
home, when it comes to making errors.
Officials of the club said last evening
that four or five men were sought to
fill the short field position. 1t is rum
ored that one of these players. Mack
ey, is expected within a short time, and
will be given a Vial. The local Off
Gals would neither affirm nor deny
this report. Mackey is considered a
ctar and n biuh nriced nIavar h,it On
account of some trouble has not been
playing this season. He is considered
star both in field and with the stick.
