TWO HOLSTERS SEND
IN THEIR CONTRACTS
Eddie Diem and Green Send in Signed
Papers-GrOdick is
Lost.

Owner Ed Smith has received his
first two contracts from players who
will probably be numbered among
the Hoosiers in the Southern Michigan
pennant race next summer. Eddie
Diem, right fielder and Green, center
fielder have both signed their papers
for the coming season and will be on
deck at reporting time unless they
jump to the Feds which seems very
improbable as that circuit is having
troubles enough at this time.
Ben Koehler, manager, is still car
rying his contract in his pocket.
"Oh, I am going to scribble at the
bottom all right" says Ben, but am
just carrying it because L know have
plenty of time"
Other contracts are expected within
the next few days from the former
Bender players and il is believed by
owner Smith that practically all of
the 1914 Hoosiers will be on deck at
spring training time.
Judging from reports from Grand
Rapids To which Bill Essick, owner
and manager of the Central league
club, has just returned from the coast,
Joe Grodick who perambulated round
second and third for Smith last sea-
son will not return here this year.
Grodick is given by Essick as one of
his 1915 infielders. Although he
showed up well here his place at
third can be taken by Korfhagen, the
Cincinnati German who held down
that position part of the season.
This suit against organized base
ball will not hurt the minor leagues"
said Smith yesterday in discussing the
case that has been brought against
the National and American leagues
and the National commission. Il be-
lieve that baseball is being conducted
on the square and in a legitimate
manner and that there is not judge
on the bench who would dissolve the
organization as it stands"
Since reports have come from Day
ton that Carlton Jones is planning
the organization OF a six club outlaw
league TO cooperate with the Feds.
baseball fans here have been discuss
ing the probability of the insurgents
jumping into South Bend. 1t is gen.
orally believed that there is very lit
tie chance that the outlaws would
take such a step. The proposed six
club league which would serve as a
farm" for the Feds would be COM
posed of Dayton, Lexington, May
vile, Frankfort, Paris and Springfield.
Smith expects to hear from the re-
mainder of those to whom he has
sent contracts within the next few
days. Among those who have been
mailed papers are Loudermilk, Duffy,
Williams, Beall, Korfhagen, Lake and
Bert Broder.

tons took 5000 prisoners.
Nish presumably had been evacuated
before the invaders swept into it, as
the official announcement told of cap.
turing only $50 prisoners there. The
Serbian resistance has now practically
collapsed. The Germans covered Is
