TUESDAY AN OFF DAY.
BOVvlerS in Peoria National Congress
Fail to Roll Up Averages.

Peoria, ILL.,, March 24.-Two hun
dred and seventy teams in the singles,
doubles and five men events will hold
the alleys at the American bowling
congress today.
Yesterday proved an off day for the
bowlers, and highly rated teams failed
to roll up to their average.
The Barry Ketteler K. of c. team
of Chicago. with a score of 2,907, is
leading in the five men event.
H. Allen and R. Allen of Detroit,
with 1927, top the list in the doubles.
In the singles, Walter Cook of Phila-
delphia with 697, is leading.
Yesterday E. J. Kelly of Chicago
ran up a score of 1870 in the all
events, displacing j. L. Spaulding of
Taylorville, Ill, who, with 1876, had
held first place since March 16.

EARLY OR LATE BASEBALL.

Agitation again has been started
about the circuit to have the ball
games start earlier in the after
noon. This is a question that has
been argued pro and con until 1t
is threadbare. The majority OF
fans, among whom are large
number of business men, seem to
feel that play BALI should be
called earlier in the day. In ST.
Joseph the games do not begin un-
til $3.50. Usually this means late
supper after 6 o'clock. If the fan
returns to business it is nearer
bells when he returns home, and
he has to be satisfied with a cold
dinner as rule The movement
is to have the ball games start as
early as o'clock. This has met
with hearty approval.-St Joe
NewS-PreSS-
There is also a small army of
fans in Topeka who would like to
see 3 o'clock baseball.

LEAGUE GETS HOOFEDS
Wrangle Over Franchises ON Gilmore
Circuit Is Apparently Settled.

Indianapolis. Ind, March 24.-The
Indianapolis Federal league franchise
will be taken over by the league. The
club probably will be moved to New

debts Of the local organization,
amounting to about $4,000.

SIGNS OF SPRING.
Old Sol REEVES Interest in the
City League.
Henderson Says Prospects Are
Bright-NeW Clubs Want In.

Spring is here, there's no doubt
about it.
When Old Sol showed his golden
face for several consecutive hours
yesterday the amateur baseball Dug
did considerable stirring about, and
signs of a revival of the City league
cropped up in a number of places
That there will be a City league this
summer seems certain Ana thaI e.
forts will be made to make 1t nluch
stronger organization than 1t was last
season is the opinion of all VINO are
interested in it.
Arthur Hudson. president of the Or
ganiZation and one of the men VINO
made 1t possible. said this morhln :
that no meeting had been calleo anu
no arrangements made, but tldt ne
felt sure a few more days OF SloIlouS
sunshine and much welcomed WARM
weather would bring things TO NE anu
cause the clubs to get together for the
outlining of plans
Carl Henderson, secretary and
treasurer of the circuit, has ms BOOST
ing guns loaded and trained for actlon
and it will not be his fault II the
league doesn't come to the front with
flying colorS. Yesterday AFTERNOON
Mr. Henderson said there was no
doubt but that the league would be IN
operation at an early date, and that 1t
would be much stronger in every way
than it was in 1914.
Players Enthusiastic.
Members of the old teams are anx-
ions to get into action, and new teams
are considering the possibility of get
ting into the fracaS. In fact, it is pos
sible that there will be many more APP
pIications for berths than can be ac-
commodated. The Voiland Clothing
company team, the Rock Islanders,
the Eagles, the College Hill Bakers,
the Gem Grocers, and the Knights and
Ladies nine are all expected to apply
for schedule places, and the Palace
Clothing company has made arrange
ments with B. F. Cunningham, former
manager of the old Mail and Breeze
team to put out a team if a place in
the league can be secured. Other
prominent business firms are reported
to be invoicing their stocks of avail
able playing material
There is some talk of cutting the
league down to a four club circuit.
Also, number of those who are in
terested are advocating the policy of
requiring all teams to put up larger
deposit than was required last season.
a-f A Success Last Year. egi-H
Last year every team deposited $25
guarantee to play out the schedule.
At the end of the season this money
was refunded and each club received
$11 more that was left in the treas
ury after all expenses had been paid.
1t is felt that a larger guarantee would
make every team take a greater inter-
est and would put the whole league on
a more solid foundation. Also, it would
keep out teams that might not be able
to continue through the summer to the
close.
Owing to the fact that games can be
played here only on the Saturdays and
Sundays when the team of Messrs.
Savage and Jackson is out of town, no
effort will be made to arrange a
schedule until after the Western
league schedule has been published.

The Truth About Bell.

The Truth About Bell.
The Topeka State Journal carries a
news story to the effect that a White
Sox twirler, named Bell, is about to
be purchased for the Kaws. The
Journal scribe goes on to inform his
readers that Bell played with Winona
of the Northern League, and once
with ST. Joseph of the Western
League. He says Bells record is great
Now, just for the sake of setting
Friend Clugston right, We'll go back
into history a little. 1t was in the fall
of 1912 that Ralph Bell first was re-
leased to ST. Joseph by the White Sox-
He didn't do very we'll. for his arm
was sore most of the time. The next
spring he tried out here, but was
shipped to Winona, where he made a
great record He was recalled late in
season and won a couple of games for
the Drummers. Last year he again
was shipped to the Northern League,
but didn't have much success Ralph
performed in a few games last year
for the Drummers winning three of
them by Jacks good judgment in
sending relief at the proper moment,
but he lost six when Jack or Bell
erred. And Bell was released in To-
peka and told to report to the North
ern League club.
Jack Holland still has strings on
Bell and he will report here for train
ing this week, unless the Topeka deal
goes through.-St. Joseph Gazette.
