Today in the meeting of the Ro-
tary club, Chairman Freiburg an
nounced the plans made last night.
! Tomorrow the Lions club will be
informed of the action taken and
motions made to give financial sup
port to league baseball for Quincy
I in 1920. 1t is expected that the
outcome Of the two meetings will
bring the required result: That
committees will be appointed to
conduct a solicitation campaign to
raise the $4,000. and that individual
members of the club who are en-
ployers. will see that some of the
tickets are distributed among their
iemp.oyes.
| The meeting last night was en-
thusiastic and augurs well.for pro-
fessional baseball's future in
Quincy There is virtually no doubt
now but that a berth in the Three-I
will be secured and that a repre-
sentative or Representatives will be
sent to the annual meeting of the
Three-I league in Chicago some
time the latter part of this month.
The tickets must be sold and the
guerante put up before that time.
| Contrary to the methods employ
ed in former seasons, every move
of the Quincy Three-1 Boosters will
be open and above board. Every
holder Of ticket-and there will be
1000 Of them-will be a member of
the organization and entitled to
know at all times how the club
stands financially. The project is
not for money-making directly. 1t
is planned to make it meet the ex-
penses of the club, and not any
more. If there are profits at the
end Of the season the surplus will
| be carried over until the next year.
To show the public and members of
} the club that all business is being
done on the square," the receipts
and disbursements of the club will
I be printed in the press once every
month. The men behind the move
ment here do not want to make it
a money-making scheme. They are
J out to give the people who love the
sport a chance to enjoy the pro-
, fessional game after a lapse of a
: few years. In addition to printing
the financial standing Of the team
the books will be open for inspec-
: ton at any time.

team ran neck and neck as to
points up through the middle OF
the last half. the local aggregation
finally knocked of the winning
score Of Is to the visitors 20. The
contest took place Saturday night
in the Y gym here. Their victory
was gained solely as the reward
Of superior teamwork. Individual
starring on both sides was neces-
sary, and neither team seemed to
have the advantage there, but
Sterling,s five were unable to act
as a single unit as frequently and
as effectively as the Legion men.
Play opened in the first half with
both sides battling for the leather
sphere, but with that toy mostly
in Sterling's territory. Sterling
threw four hard earned field has,
kets and three frees during the
period, and seemed to outshine the
Legionaries. However, it was
noted that for every point the Wis
itors made the local boys soon tag
eed along with one to match it. and
the squads retired to rest between
halves with the scoreboard ~disfg-

ILLINOIS BALL
TEAM TO CLARK
Remains rs Athletic Director But
Drops Diamond Destiny After
"a Years at Helm.

Urbana. ILL.,. Jan. 5.-Affer 23
years of baseball coaching. George
Huff has quit. Remaining as direc-
tor of athletics at Illinois, the most
famous and successful Of college
baseball coaches turns the destin-
les of the Illini nine over to one OF
his own pupils. "Potsy" Clark.
That &c" has elected to retire
will be a shock to the Illini world,
which has considered Huff and H.
linois baseball one and inseparable.
But the veteran coach asserts that
he has reached the age when
coaches should bench themselves.
He has a big job as director Of ath-
letics, especially with the new de-
paftment OF athletic coaching. This,
he figures. will keep him busy.
Directs Eleven Title Mines.
! HUFF can look back upon a re-
markable record of successes on
the diamond. Since 1896, when he
assumed charge of the baseball
| team, the Illini have won IL cham
pionships. The Orange and Blue
triumphed in 1890, 1902, 1908, 1904.
1907, 1908, 1910; 1911. 1914, 1915
and 1916. And in 1909 Illinois tied
! for first honors. So in half of the
| "a years in which Huff has been at
the helm his teams have been first.
When Huff took charge in 1906
there was small student body, as
! compared to the enrolment at
Michigan and other older institu-
tions. Yet the Hint were soon
! disputing championships. and by
! 1900 the pennant came to Illinois.

ines decamped from the conference
