FACTORY LEAGUE
ABOUT ON ROCKS
War and Lack of Teams HaV-
ING Affect on Manufacture
erS' Baseball Circuit.

Efforts TO reOrganize the Manu-
facturers Baseball league have prac-
tically been abandoned by DR.. +.
r. Carson, president Of the league.
The road of reorganization has been
rocky one, but until war was de-
clared prospects for the league look
ed fairly bright. Two strong outside
teams had just about decided 10 en-
ter the league and with Studebakers
and Singers strengthened the circuit,
would have been a strong one.
Then war was declared and sew
eral local men, counted upon as
members of the two local teams,
heard the call OF duty and enlisted
in Uncle Sans service. This dam
pened the enthusiasm of the local
bosses.
A wet blanket was thrown over
the league early this spring when
the Mishawaka Wooden Co. refused
TO consider the proposition Of re-
entering the league. Although win
ners Of the pennant. the team ex-
perienced considerable trouble with
its imported ball players, dishar-
mony arose in the squad and the
affairs Of the team we're in jum-
bled mess.
About this time a meeting OF the
directors was held and il was decid-
ed that the only basis upon which
the league could hope to survive the
season was upon one of a strictly
factory proposition. No ball players
were 10 be hired simply because they
were ball players but because they
were OF real use in the daily factory
grind.
This appeared satisfactory and the
decision was reached to invite teams
from Laporte, Misha waka and Elk
hart into the league, making il six
club circuit. divers experienced a
touch of chill then and announced
that they did not have the men nor
the support Of the management to
warrant their remaining in the
league.
Mishawaka was then abandoned
as a prospect and Elkhart and La
porte approached upon the subject
Elkhart appeared enthusiastic in
long distance talks but failed to
send representatives to meetings.
Finally the sponge was thrown up.
With Laporte ready 10 enter the
Great Western Mfg. Co. team, which
withdrew from the city league Their"

ker people of Michigan City evinc-
ed strong desire TO join the circuit.
but kept postponing a decision upon
the matter. Then the war started
and the local men lost heart.
