Expects Big Season.
President Sam S. Vigran stated he
expected this season to be the biggest
one ever played by the industrial
league With the return OF the men
from the service, he looked for bet
ter ball players from this group, and
with the players that developed last
year during the season, there would
be no reason why the Saturday After
noon league should not put on base
ball exhibitions this year that would
appeal to the fans
AS the diamond committee could not
make a definite report on where the
S. A. l.. would open the season, some
discussion as to where the league
might play was heard. Prospective
diamonds, although not as suitable as
the Exhibition park, were lined up
One plan suggested was that the
league play on the Easthaven grounds
until Earlham college closed, and then
obtain Reid Field for the three sum
mer months. Another plan suggested
was that permission be obtained from
the city to locate a diamond near the
light plant in the river bottom, making
that a permanent Saturday Afternoon
League diamond.
Meet Again April 7.
At the next meeting OF the >. A. l..
moguls, Monday, April Z, Vigran said
the ground committee must be ready
TO make some sort of report, for the
league must have overcome all draw
backs by the time the season opens.
Special attention was again called to
the fact that two silver cups would be
given this year, one to the winning
club of the S. A. L. pennant, and one
to the man having the best batting
average.
Manager Bud" Henneger Of the
Johnson-Frye machine announced that
the season tickets--500 in all--would
be ready for sale next week Presi-
dent Vigran said that at least 5000 of
the ticket money would have to be
spent in either repairing or making
diamond and buying sporting goods
for the league.
The best place to play was agreed
upon by all the managers to be Exhi-
bition park where less work would
have to be done than any place in the
city. An attempt will be made to get
the park for the exhibition game Sat
urday. April 5.
President Vigran also announced
IndL al team COulu SCuCuulC 6ohiC
with the Earlham college nine this
spring for practice. He was in favor
getting into action as early as possible
and putting forth every effort to
make this season a real exhibition of
baseball.
The home team will be chosen later
by lot.
