FAVOR Charley Carr
Az Executive Head
OF Central League

Several candidates for tho presiden.
cy Of the Central league have been put
forward. but the sentiment seems to
favor Charley Carr Of INDIANAPOLIS
who made q talk at the organization
meeting. which was hit with those In
attendance.
He advised the league promoters to
perfect their club organizations, learn
what 1t would cost them in the way
Of milage. hotel bills, etc, to operate
and then to give consideration drst t.
cities that showed an ability to meet
the expense account.
It was his opinion that class OF
cities should be considered above the
mere item Of railway transportation. II
they indicated their patronage would
balance the railway bills.
In Carr as president the league will
find a practical baseball man, with a
world Of experience and friends with
out number. That he resides in In
dianapolis. . city in the center of the
new league, IL another reason for his
selection. 20 that altogether he meets
al 1.-The requirements for president OF
the proposed new circuit.
Mordicai Brown has agreed to man
age Terre Haute, Rollie Zeider prab-
ably will be at the helm at Fort
Wayne. Bloomington Is angling after
the clever veteran Johnny Castle.
Four former major league cracks are
seeking managerial berths IN the cir
cult.
Edward Aaron, who played second
base for Muskegon and South Bend In
the Central League, writes from
Frence that he has been attached to a
company Of construction engineers
and that he guesses he 10 stuck until
tho whole Of France IL put in shape
again. He says they work seven days
q week, rain or shine, mostly rain, and
that he thinks. II there were more
than "a hours in . day, they could get
the job done in a million years.
Rufus Gilbert Is looking after the
business end of putting Terre Haute
in the proposed Central League, but
the fans are crying for Mordicai
Brown as the team manager. How
ever, II Joe Tinker backs the Dayton
end Of the league he may want Brown
to represent him there.
A hint comes from the inside that
the organizers OF the proposed new
Central league are not SO keen about
Joining the National Association, but
that some Of them would prefer to run
as an independent league-a farm for
the majors II 1t could be arranged.
- a. <hn< hn inr NlNha
would help finance the league and fur.
nish players for 1t out Of their surplus.
Those who favor the independent
league plan are moving cautiously and
not giving out any information until
they learn II the scheme can be put
through.
Jack Ryan denies the statement
that q fight Is being waged between
Peoria and Grand Rapids. He issued
the following statement:
1.-THE reports are absurd, Peoria has
no quarrel to pick with Grand Rapids.
Peoria is for anything that will aid In
promoting good baseball in the mid
west today. We are going to Fort
Wayne next Sunday with the intention
OF entering into organization plans
with Mr.. Noblett and the northern
magnates on a most harmonious basis
II have written him that l post
poned tho schedule meeting Of the
proposed Central league at Indianap-
oils yesterday because l thought II
best that all mid-western cities should
cooperate for the good of all. have
no war to wage with Noblett and from
a letter Of invitation he has sent me,
I know he has none with me-"
