Ball Bands Are Strong
Contenders For Pennant

second division teams, divers play
ing the Rubber Res at Mishawaka,
while Singers take on Studebakers at
Singers park. AS the Rubber Res
have not won a single game this sea-
son it is not likely they will bust in
against one of the leading clubs
However. it is the unexpected which
frequently happens in baseball and
this is what makes the old game so
fascinating.
A similar situation presents itself
at Singer park, the champions meet
ing the wagonmakers, who are well
down in the percentage column. How
ever, the Stude bakers are now in a
state of reconstruction. In last Sat-
urday's game they presented an en-
tirely new combination which work
ed effectively against the Rubber
Res. There is no denying that the
Studebakers have a good hitting club
and other things breaking right they
have a right To battle with anybody's
club in the league, and they may
give the Singer men the battle of
their lives.
Five More Games.
The playing schedule is now on the
decline. two-thirds of the chart hav-
ing already been played, leaving five
weeks play remaining on the calen-
games is a matter of conjecture. But
the leading teams all meet each 9TH
er again There is also one contest
to be played over between the Ball
Bands and Studebakers, thrown out
because Of the former playing in
eligible players at the last meeting
of these two teams. The two clubs
will play a double header at Misha-
waka next Saturday.
If is rAnar<a HE the foIIOwinU
which the Factory league clubs have
incurred. The attendance for the
present already doubles that of a
year ago and the schedule is but two
thirds completed This situation has
not only inspired men with baseball
enthusiasm over their respective rep
resentative teams but it has de-
veloped a lot of baseball fans. who
have learned TO digest it i'm ana kind
of form. But the Factory league is
responsible for its origin and de-
velopment and the organization de-
serves a lot Of credit for the good it
has accomplished in many ways.

The crowd Kissed the Washington

chased. AS Ainsmith passed the boxes
in the grandstand several fans sit

to the box and made a swing on

and Ainsmith started to climb over
the box. Ayers, the Washington
pitcher, pulled Ainsmith from the box
and held him. AS he started pulling
him away another spectator grabbed
chair and swung ii on Ainsmith,
but instead il hit Ayers in the head.
Morgan, who was making his exit,
hurdled over the box, swinging right
and left. Fists were flying through
the air and Witt, Cobb and one or
two other players jumped into the box
and separated them.

DETROIT. Mich, July 31.-A re-
organization Of the Southern Michigan
and Central leagues into one league,
which is to include South BEND is now
being considered by President Frank
and President HeilbrOner of the two
organizations.
According to this plan the league
would be cut down to eight clubs and
would include only the strongest clubs
in the South Michigan and the three
cities in the General league. 1t would
be a class b league and would be some
faster than the Southern Michigan.
Saginaw. Toledo, Bay City and South
Bend are the Southern Michigan
league teams mentioned while Grand
Rapids, Dayton and Fort Wayne in
the Central would be added. An eighth
club would be necessary and it is
planned to select this team from eth
er IF two leagues. Terre Haute might
might be included although it is held
that this team is too far south. The
other selection would be between Kali
amaZOO. Battle Creek. Jackson and
Lansing. Flint and Adrian are too
small for the new league.

During the fore part of the season
in the Manufacturers baseball league
the strife was continued to two clubs,
Singers and divers. These two clubs
carried rOoters and fans, which would
make the bowling days of Rome look
shameful But now comes another
contender on the scene in the Ball
Bands from Mishawaka, who have
declared themselves in the division of
the leaves and fishes. They also
claim rooters in proportion and are
willing to test their strength from
any angle.
That the Ball Bands cannot be de-
MED was demonstrated last Saturday,
when they very neatly trimmed the
champion Singers to the tune of 1 to
0. in one Of the best played games
in the history of the Factory league.
While ii is true that fielding and bat
terry errors assisted in the manufac-
ture of the lone run of the contest.
il must not be denied that the Mish-
awake crowd had a powerful base
ball machine on the firing line and.
if they continue in the stride they dis
played last Saturday they certainly
must be reckOned with before the
awarding of prizes takes place.
