President Of the Lake Shore
Baseball League Shows
Desire For Team Here
SMALL SUM TO Be PROVIDED

Leader of Baseball League Declares
That $500 Will Provide For Park in
Kenosha and Provide Working Cap
itaI for Successful Season.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1914-03-12


chise in the Lake Shore Baseball
League will probably be the result of
the endorsement given both Of the
above projects by the Kenosha Re-
tailers' Association.
The Evening News has obtained an
official statement from President CLAIR
ence Klocksin of the Lake Shore
League in order to set forth clearly
the features of membership in the
Lake Shore League and what must be
accomplished in this city to assure
the ultimate success of a league team.
Mr.. Klocksin S statement is as fol
lows:
"The Lake Shore Baseball League
was organized and incorporated in
1906 and the circuit membership has
been quite steady, there being but
few changes during the leagues ex-
istence Of eight years. The circuit
last year extended along the shore of
Lake Michigan from ManitoWoc, Wis,
to Chicago, ILL., The league has been
prosperous during the past two years
and it is now the leading semi-pro
fessional organization in the country
The quality Of baseball played in
the Lake Shore League compares fav-
orably with many of the smaller
Leagues of the professional type, such
rs The Wisconsin, Illinois League, Ohio
State League, etc. Sunday and holt
day games make up the schedule each
year and the hazard connected WITH
leagues playing every day baseball in
cities Of about $4,000 population is
rot in evidence The Lake Shore
League teams are self supporting and
~ the maioity Of cases the indiv'd
nal teams clear profit each year.
Ihe prospects in the league this
yeai point to another good season. Ke-
uos6a s wanted in the league because
thg league officials and club owners
know that it is a good baseball town
ana because it is advantage ously sit
lated the circuit.
From the reports and information |
obtained while in Kenosha last Thurs
day the matter Of league team for
kenosha is up to the business men of
the city, The main task To be accom-
plished is the building Of a baseball
park. TO the members Of the Keno
sha Retailers Association last week |
estimated that it would cost in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 to provide a
park and that $4,000 would be an alb
solutely safe figure to take care of
any excess expense which might be
necessary to incur and at the same
time give the baseball team a surplus
to work with.
The formation of a stock company
to subscribe $4,000 worth of stock as
suggested by the Retailers Associa-
ton is the logical way to raise the
necessary amount. A franchise in the
Lake Shore League costs nothing.
Each year the teams which make up
the league deposit 5000 with the
league treasurer as evidence of good
faith to carry out the schedule and
the amount so deposited is returned
to each team at the completion of the
schedule.
The administration of the Lake
Shore Leagues affairs during the past
few years has been along strict busia
ness lines and the outline I have given
above in regard to Kenosha is in con
formity with that policy. The Lake
Shore League wants Kenosha and
hope therefore that Kenosha business
men and also the big army of baseball
-.
wheel and work hard to secure a
representative baseball team which
nowadays is regarded as a good adj
vertisement for every American city,"

 Big krupp Guns Did the Work.
 The big Krupp guns used by the Germans did the work of demolishing forts which were believed to have been impregnable. The 16-inch siege guns have the longest range of any gun in the world for their weight.
 Now Be Used In France.
 The big guns were immediately sent south to the German army in France to be used against the allies and SC far the big guns have been used with telling effect upon the allies positions because of the long range possessed by them over the French and British guns.

Pitt Was Quick to Act, but the King
 Got Ahead of Him.
 On Jan. 19, 1SO5, Dr. Manners-Sut- ton, bishop of Norwich, was giving dinner party in his Windsor deanefy when his butler informed him that . gentleman wished particularly to see him, but would not give his name.
 Well, can't come now in the mid de of dinner." said the bishop.
 Beg pardon, my lord, but the gen tleman is very anxious to see you on important business" and the butler was 50 urgent that the bishop apolo- gized to his company and went out The gentleman who would not be de. nied proved to be King George III.
 "How dye do, my lordT' said he Come to tell you that you're arch bishop of Canterbury-archbishop Of Canterbury. Dye accept-accept7 Eh. ehT'
 The bishop bowed low in token of acceptance.
 "An right" said his majesty. You've got a party-see all their hats here. Go back to them. Good night"
 Next morning Pitt appeared at Wind- sor castle to inform his majesty that Archbishop Moore had died the day be- fore and to recommend the bishop of Lincoln, Dr. Pretyman, for the vacant primacy.
 "very sorry. very sorry. indeed. Pitt" said the king. ''but l offered 1t to the bishop of Norwich last night, and he accepted. Can't break my word"
 Pitt was very angry, but the deed was done. as the king meant 1t should be. and 50 Dr. Manners-Sutton became archbishop of Canterbury and held the great office for twenty-three eventful years.-Chambers' Journal

OUR NATIONAL GAME.
Baseball as Now Played Is Essentially
 American In Oriain.

Baseball as Now Played 10 Essentially
 American In Origin.
 Some authorities trace baseball to an old English ball game called round ers," which dated from the eighteenth century. "Rounders' was played in an open field marked out by a i've sided figure. the points being called bases, first to fourth and home bases. The feeder" (modern pitcher) stood in the middle of the pentagon: the bats man ran the bases and scored run if he made the circuit without being put out, but he was retired if a hit ball was caught on the fly or on the first bounce or when he was struck out by having the ball thrown at him while running the bases.
 Founders" was played in this coun. try before the Revolutionary war and baseball possibly was an outgrowth of 1t, but if so 1t was long time coming. The game as now played Is essentially of American origin, through the differ ent stages of two old cat, three old cat, four old cat, town ball and bull pen.
 The Washington Baseball club, the 6rst known. was formed in New York in 1S43, and the first regular code of rules was drawn up in 1845 by the Knickerbocker Baseball club of New York The first national association was organized in 1853, and the 6rst convention of baseball flnanciers and managers was held in Philadelphia In 1867, about 500 organizations being represented.-Philadelphia Press.
