Consider Sale Of Stock.
The most important business taken
up was the sale of treasury stock to
the amount of $500, which was pro-
vided for by the stockholders in the
annual meeting week ago. This stock
will be offered to the present stock
holders and to the public. The sale
of 1900 shares of stock will bring the
total issue of stock up near the capital
ization of the association. To start
this sale the stockholders, at their an
nual meeting, subscribed 400 shares.
To permit the purchase OF stock by
those who are not already stockhold-
ers, and who can not be addressed
personally, subscription lists were to-
day left with the First National Bank,

Gates, Fred Dieterich, w. D. Wilson
Company and z. H. Powell.
Question Of Drainage.
practical system of drainage for
the diamond and playing field. which
is necessary to insure against post
poned games this year., was discussed,
and a committee, headed by c. H. Hull,
will investigate several proposed drain
age plans and report with recommen-
dations at the next meeting.
Considerable thing may be necessary,
and an outlet could be made with the
old sewage disposal plant main, which
trayerses the field just back of second
base

including plan to swing gates across
the race track instead of the canvas
wall used last year; the sale of con-

| Word came from Clinton today that
Bert Hough had sold eight players OF
last years team to the new manage
ment at Clinton, which also bought the
uniforms. heating plant, cushions anG
chairs. the property of the former
,,1n rc,I 1NHf oic
purchase are Hubartt, WEIGH, Jones
Miller, Darrow, MEME, Nolt, and Sim
mons. Contracts have been forwarded
to all of these players and two have
been returned, those of Jones and
| Meme Hough will also turn over &c
the new management the contracts Of
Clark and another infielder he is now
angling for, according to the sale
agreement.
Young Players Seek Jobs.
Many young players have made APP
plieation to the Central Association
clubs for a spring try-out, the local
| association having received dozens OF
requests for chance from men with
| out league experience who believe they
| can make good. Manager Richards
however, had an experience with un-
known quantities last season, which
he does not care to repeat and now
has his roster com plete. 1t is not likely
that any new men will be signed for
the local team unless an unusually
bright prospect is located.
Gerald Matson, the Marshalltown
boy who tried out with the local club
last season, has signed with Mason
City and will try for place on the
pitching staff Of the Clay Diggers.
