CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Feb. 90
Belden Hill unsheathed his official axe
this morning and after performing
few warming-up stunts swung 1t
through his list Of recruits for the 1914
Bunnies with the result that four of
the previously announced candidates

The announcement was made this
morning that two outfielders, a first
baseman and catcher, signed with
the Bunnies, have been transferred to
Manager Richards Marshalltown club.
In recent conference with Man
ager Hill, Manager Richards slipped
the information to Belden that he is
without a first baseman, and good
catcher, and also has need of some
performers for the outer garden He
also stated to Belden that he would
welcome any assistance the local
manager could give in filling these
positions.
AS result Of this conference Bel
den took another step to prove that
| his sympathies and interests are
strongly with the new member for
which he waged such bitter warfare
last week at the league directors
meeting, and sent Richards four high
| ly touted players
The first men to draw release, OF

Evidently the Central States Row
ing Association is having a hard time
to locate its regatta this year. No
city seems at ali anxious to take the
event, and Keokuk is again proposed
as the logical place for the meet. The
matter was taken up with the Indus
trial Association here about month
ago. The Industrial Association turn
ed the proposition down because they
did not see their way clear to put up
$1,000 to guarantee the meet. A
Quincy paper yesterday has the fol-
lowing to say about the meet:
Is the Central States Amateur
Rowing Association about to blow
up? 1t begins to look that way. Only
enc of the eleven clubs in the circuit
wants the meet and that one has
opposition in the town in which it is
located. One club favors city sew

not even the appointment of com

It Can't be Peoria.

Peoria has the best race course
and Is also centrally located. Quincy
is the next best choice. Kansas City
is not entitled to the mea and If a
regatta Is held there it is almost sure
to prove failure for lack Of enough
starters to make the different events
interesting. ST. Louis clubs evident
~ don't want the meet since the Bad
en- club has withdrawn It's bid; Peoria
can't have 1t as the club there lost it's
club house by fire and the members
are now interested in a campaign to
raise money for a new house; Chi
cago, Grand Rapids or Detroit are en-
titled to have the meet, but no bids
have been received from them in a
long time. Chicago asked for a re-
gatta once or twice, but Grand Rapids
and Detroit have never submitted a
bid.
The members OF the North Side
Boat club imagine they want the re.
ga.ta held here, and they think SO
well of the plan that they are ready
to contribute dollar each to re
gatta fund. But the South side club
is not in favor of this scheme Some
of the members would Ike to have
the meet here and others d!sapprove
1T was hoped the association would
help with contribution to the fund
and 1t may do so. But the st. Louis
clubs ipdiridualIv yf1y mt rap

they should. 1t is claimed though
that the St Louis delegates woult
rather the regatta be held here thar
at any other city, except Peoria o.
