Central League Moguls to Meet

The next meeting Of the Central

called for next Sunday.

President Ryan of the Peoria club

Reuiews Elks-South Side Game;
Wants Bossolini Back on Team,

here with the shipyard league, and
when / tell you that hit that old ap-
pie for an average OF 499, stole Al
bases in 13 games, and only made /
error, you can see that / burnt this
league up.

bunt. While l led the league playing

ter than most OF the stiffs playing 'em,
besides being one of the best out
fielders around these parts. / don't
like to talk about myself, but l am
also a good pitcher, with speed like
johnson, who pitches for the District
of Columbia. Behind the bat haven't
had a passed ball in 8 years.
Now, Mr.. Eggemeyer, il you want
your team to win the pennant my ad-
vice is to hire me, and build your
team around men, the same as the
big league managers do. will also
act as captain of the team, as l have
probably forgotten more baseball than
lot OF stiffs down there will ever
know. / am not much of a fellow to

dianapolis meeting, formerly was first
sacker for the Muskegon team. Hun
ter indirectly represented Springfield
interests in the reorganization plans.
He was also delegated to speak for
Dayton, where Joe Tinker is reported
willing to place a club to serve as
farm for his Columbus American asso-
citation team. Hunter is said to have
obtained, from Tinker, the informa-
ton that there is a second "angeP
ready to place club at Springfield.
Tinker is also said to have tired of
paying railroad fares for his young
prospects to Peoria and is ready to
dispose of his interests there. At the
same time Joe doesn't want Peoria
dropped from the Central, because he
is convinced that it is one of the best
minor ball towns in the country.
Appearance Of backing at Spring
field and Dayton should simplify the
task of reorganizing. Springfield
writer's predict that there will be no
obstacles placed in the way of any
one who is game to back baseball In
their city. A fine park is available
and stockholders of the old club are
reported willing to turn over the con-
troll of affairs to new hands Tinker
has let it be known that he will sup
ply all necessary finances at Dayton.
Reports that Muskegon is coming
to life and is now ready to give free
park rental to anyone who will back
a club and guarantee the sale of 1000
season tickets at SIS a throw should
add to Grand Rapids chances of plac-
ing in the Central. Nothing new has
come out of Peoria this week, except
that a circuit is being formed which
will not overlook the highly import
ant items of mileage, sleeper jumps
and other little incidentals which have
wrecked many a league when they
have been overlooked.

FOUR TEAMS JOIN.
5. A. |. AT FIRST
LEAGUE MEETING
More Expected to Enter Next
Week - Vigran is Again
Chosen President.

Sam vigran. for three years presi-
dent OF the Saturday Afternoon League
was reelected last night by unani-
nous vote Of the managers and repre-
sentatives Of the factories. Ray
Sturns of the Reliance Foundry was
elected secretary, and the president
will act as treasurer. These elections
were held at the organization meeting
of the league last night at the Y. M.
c. A.
Four factories were represented at
the meeting and all were eager to con.
tinue the league this year. Easthaven
could not be represented but the offic.
ials at that institution said a team
would be entered IL possible. At pres
ent the Swayne-Robinson factory, Am
erican Seeding Machine company, NAL
leable and Starr factories will prob
ably enter teams. according to senti-
ment expressed last night by their
representatives. Before the meeting
next Monday night at the Y. NJ. c. A.
1t Is expected that the Easthaven
team will be entered and also the
Johnson Sheet Metal Workers team.
The appointment of committees to
take care Of the finances. to draw up
the constitution and to attend to the
grounds was put of. until the next
meeting. as it is thought that all the
teams will be represented then.
May Play Curtain Raisers.
II the six team league is formed, a
choice of five diamonds will be offered
the Athletic, Exhibition, Playground,
Earlham and Easthaven. The Ath-
letic park will probably not be used
as the diamond there is in poor con-
dition as It was not used at all last
year. The three best diamonds are
probably the Playground, Easthaven
and Exhibition.
It is very probable that the season
tickets will be sold as last year and
a percent of the proceeds will be given
to war fund or to deserving char.
ity.
A game will probably be played each
Saturday as a curtain raiser to the
Central league game, If the consent
OF the management can be secured,
IL this can not be done the games
will be played at the other parks in
stead.
The Natco, Simplex and Jenkins
Vulcan teams were not represented
at the meeting last night and 1t is not
expected that these factories will have
teams in the 1919 circuit. The NAL
leables, although cellar champs last
year, have not been discouraged and
are out for the title this season.
Those present at the melting last
night were: George Fine, Of the NAL
leables: AL Meyer. Wilbur Sturm and
Paul Wittle from Starr; Emmett Haas
and Clark Ref, Swayne-Robinson, and
Cy Fitzgibbons from the American
Seeding Machine company.

eY JACK KEENE.

Will Christy Mathewson leave base
ball with the question of his ability as
a manager unsettled?
Did the war prevent Mathewson
from overcoming the jinx that follows
the manager of the Cincinnati Reds?
Or did the world conflict prevent
Matty from lingering in baseball long
enough to write failure" after his
name as manager?
These are interesting topics for dis
cussion
Matty is out as manager of the
Reds. Pat Moran has been named
manager Matty, still overseas as an
officer in the chemical warfare divis-
ion, has not given out his plans for
the future.
Dame rumor hath said that Christy
may be signed by the Giants as coach
of the pitchers.

fashion.
They did not stop to think that Mat
ty would have to slow down his brain,
switch it to another track and then
gather steam again, mentally.
Kicked Out Discord.
His first full year with the Reds he
had real success. He kicked out the
discord on the club and obtained har-
mony. To do that on the Cinci club
is a mans job alone. In 1918 the Reds
of course, passed through the same
war changes as the other clubs, of
course The Red fans saw that Matty
wasn't going to win pennant. They
did not weigh the situation fairly
They jumped at the easiest conclusion
-Matty hadn't made good.
Matty had not set the league or
baseball world aflame. But he had
failed.
Would he have made good eventual
ly?
Indications are that he would.
The chief indication is in the fact
that he had courage enough in his
convictions to face the baseball world
with the announcement that in his
opinion one of the stars of his team
was not working for the best interests
of his team or baseball in general.
Second. He had weathered two sea-
sons in the toughest managerial berth
in the game.
Third. The team was climbing 1t
finished fourth in 1917 and third in
1918.
Fourth. Matty knew in his own
mind that he was setting himself for
success in his work else he would
have stepped out at the beginning of
last season. He is that type.
Matty was the tenth man to tackle
the job or Red pilot since 1900. when
the team began it's habitual losing
Here are the names of the men who
tried, before Matty came, to pull the
team out of the rut. the years they
tried and where the club landed:

sore at the way was lacing them out,

the Elks, and it served them right fol
the rotten deal they gave me.
