Distillers' Owners Hold Of
Waiting to See if Reed
Closes Deal.

Peoria, Ill, Jan. 26.-The 1915 Dis
tiller manager will be named during
the coming week President Jones
of the Peoria Amusement company
stated last evening that the list of
applications had been sorted out and
that it was now down 10 a pile of
six and that one of that number would
without doubt be named within the
next few days, unless unforeseen com
plications develop.
The proposition given George Reed
still holds good Reed may purchase
the club at the price submitted, but
he will have to appear and answer
within the next three days. Reed
has no option on the club Neither
has the Peoria Amusement company
any tangible offer from that source.
Should Reed appear with cash de-
manded he will be given a hearing.
and the possibilities are that his
cash will be taken in exchange for
the club and franchise Should he
fail to appear. President Jones will
go on with his original plans. which
include the provisions that Peoria VIII
enjoy as near as possible the same
brand of ball as experienced last
season. if not better.
President Jones was in an optmis-
tic frame of mind.

will be universally popular and I

ria first class club. I have applica-
lions from players throughout the
country of merit that would surprise
any Glass B executive, and / intend
to pick well from the list"
Mr.. Jones is an exceedingly busy
man at the present time. His personal
affairs call for no little attention.
but despite the personal demands
made upon him the average person
is surprised at the amount OF real
work he is doing for the good Of
baseball in Peoria. There is little
question but what the game is safe in
this city with Jones at the helm and
Jones believes that an ounce OF pre-
caution is worth a pound of cure He
has a big job filing Rowlands shoes.
