'Beck's'' Amen Corner
BY "BECK"

CLIFF BLANKENSHIP made a
great record with the Salt Lake
club in the coast league last season
and is now planning his campaign
for the coming season. 'Blank"
grabbed a second baseman from the
American association in a trade.
This mans contract with the A. 4.
was for two years at $1,000 a season.
Now that "Blank" has him he finds
that he can't use him for he can't
pay that salary and keep down to
the leagues salary limit. Hence he
is sleuthing around for another key
stone sacker. Next time "BIank"
will find out what a players con-
tract calls for before he makes 4
swap.
QUITE business men lave come
forward with the backing for a
team in the Northwestern Baseball
league. In the north, the business
men realize the value of a baseball
franchise. It takes more than an
argument to interest some southern
cities in backing a club.
ROCK ISLAND, Ill, wants Three-I
league baseball OF none. The
National association has declared
that the town belongs to the Cen
traI association but the fans have
voted not to support a team in that
league. Local men hold a lease on
the ball park and refuse to turn it
over to the central league.
