(By "oscar.")


Last last at meeting of the City
Leagre commission, all eligible play
ers, whose names had been given to
that body, were assigned to the various
teams Of the league and the respective
managers will now get their squads
together for workouts, giving all can
didates a chance to make the position
they desire.
Sure, there was some argument as
to the placing OF players. 1t would
be a poor manager who wouldn't use
up considerable conversation in order
to land the pick of the men, but though
the gabfest grew warm at times and
each manager declared that he had
been "bilked" when a player OF known
quality was assigned to a team other
than his own, there were absolutely
no sore spots and the teams go into
the preliminary workouts without fric-
tion Of any kind
OF the players who performed on
the Chickasha team last year. Jacobs
went to the BARRIERS and Pete Heffner
to the Typos, while Bobby Weir was
q Rock Island man by right of occupa-
tion. Frank and Felix Lindsay went
to the Rock Island, with Joe Lindsay
and Cloud to the Typos. Turner was
assigned to the BARRIERS for mound
duty. The Oilers drew good outside
men in Caywood, Miller Young and
Dennis. Others who would be classed
more in the recruit column as their
ability has not been demonstrated,
were assigned without discrimination
to the four clubs. Some stars may
develop from these dark horses and
the managers will ever have an eye
out for good material.
Meetings of the various teams will
follow at which sessions the manag-
ers will organize and deliver, series
of "ginger talks" to their crews They
will be sort of "get together meet
ings. Olin Brasheare, president of the
league, was present at the meeting and
stated that in his opinion the placing
Of the men had strengthened the
| teams about as evenly as possible.
"The men were chosen without dis
elimination and each selection was
agreed to by every manager and my
self. Every man will be expected u
play his best with the team to which
he was assigned With the known ma
| terial on every team in the league and
| the development of the Youngsters
+, that is bound to come, | believe that
the league will be playing some mighty
| good ball when they get into their
stride" The personnel of the teams
