known Over State.
Salina, Jan. 28.-Dick Rohn, pros
pective manager of the pennant
chances of the Salina Kansas State
League club of 1914 has been looking
over the situation in Salina. Big Dick
arrived from Sedalia, his home and
was piloted to the ball park and
shown the points of interest about the
city by Secretary Cravens of the local
baseball association.
Dick was very much pleased with
what he saw and expressed the desire
to Secretary Cravens of taking the
reins of the Salina club in hand. 1t is
not known what sort of an agreement
was reached with the big fellow by the
local management and nothing de-
finite will be announced just now.
Dick Rohn has had a great deal of
experience in minor league circles and
if he comes to terms with the local
management there is no chance of
repetition of the experience with Lon
Ury. Rohn managed a club in the
Three 1 League last season with sue
cess. He formerly played with Spring
field and Sedalia in the Western asso-
citation and Missouri Valley league. He
is first sacker and his coming would
mean the relegating of Billiam Shakes
