AUGIE GIRLS FORM
A BASKETBALL TEAM
(BY PAUL DAHLFN,1

The basketball lassies of Augustana
will open their season Saturday night
when they meet William and Vashti
team at the local college gym. After
training for the past month the girls
are ready to go on the floor under the
leadership of Miss Laura Anderson
Saturday evening in the best of con-
dition.
Of special interest to Rock Island
followers of the girls game is the
promised appearance of four former
Rock Island high school stars wearing
the blue and gold. Florence Carpen-
ter, one of the former lights of the
class Of 1914 team, together with Har-
riet Darling and Edna Curry, who also
played on the same team, and Hazel
Kerr, who completed her course at the
Rock Island high school in 1915, have
made the first squad at Augustana, and
although the lineup for the fray of
Saturday evening has not as yet been
announced, it is probable that all will
play against Vashti.

Hits 95-Cent Bleachers.

The league will continue its meeting
tomorrow, when President Ebbets eX-
poets to introduce a resolution limiting
the number of 25-cent bleachers seats
at all National league clubs to 1000.
This innovation will hit several of the
cities hard In Boston there are 10000
25-cent seats; in st. Louis, 5000; in
Philadelphia $500, and in Cincinnati
1000
Some Of the western clubs will pro-
test the adoption of such a rule be-
cause the 25-cent bleachers are popu-
lar in St Louis, Cincinnati and Chica-
go. There is sure to be a howl from
the fans if the 25-cent seats are re-
duced TO 1000. Ebbets will also intro
duce a resolution to adopt a new sys-
TEN of drafting minor league players,
This measure was defeated two sea-
sons ago.
At the meeting of the board of d.
rectors before the league meeting.
Percy D. Haughton, the new owner of
the Boston Braves, was elected to sue
coed James E. Gaffney on the board.
The financial reports approved by the
board showed the league to be in an
encouraging financial condition.
The league will celebrate the 40th
anniversary Of its organization with a
dinner here tonight which will be at
tended by about two hundred and fifty
guests.

Wars on Short Fences.

Dreyfuss offered an amendment at
the meeting which is a direct blow at
the short outfield fences in some Of
the baseball parks. His amendment
calls for distance of 270 feet from the
home plate to the nearest fence. This
rule must be referred to the joint COM
mittee on playing rules before being
adopted.
1t has come to the notice Of the
league that some of the diamonds
about the circuit have not been &C
curately laid out and resolution was
passed which provides that before next
season all diamonds must be surveyed
and the accuracy of the measurements
attested by competent civil engineer
The question of restricting passes to
the parks was discussed, but no action
was taken.
