CLEARING HOUSE
FOR AMATEURS IS
OPENED BY Bee
Sports Department to Main.
tain Directory of Base Ball
Players, 0ut-0f-ToWn and
Local Managers.

For the benefit of the out-of-towr
managers, as we'll as for the con.
venience of local amateur and semi
pro players, the sports department
OF The Omaha Bee has formed what
will be known as The Bees Clearing
House for Base Ball Players.
By this means The Bee will keep
the out-of-town managers in touch
with the local players who are not
connected with teams in the city anc
when out-of-town teams are in need
of players for special occasions, the
clearing house will locate the play
ers and assist the out-of-town man
ayers in securing their aid.
The success of the plan depends
entirely on the cooperation of those
in whose interest the, plan is estab-
lished, and although it is still little
early in the game, the sports de-
partment advises out-of-town man-
ayers to get in touch with the clear
ing house and lineup their teams.
There are approximately LOO
amateur and semi-protessionai base
ball players in Omaha. A directory
of these men and boys would be
valuable not only to out-oftown
managers but to local players and
managers themselves.
Player Shortage.
Indications point toward short
age of players this season. The un-
usual prosperity enjoyed by base
ball in this section of the country
last year has brought forth the fever
in many towns which never before
had teams. Those who went through
last season and saw the wild scram-
Bile for players in the middle OF the
season will agree that some system
of keeping track of the players is
necessary. .,
For this reason, The Bee hopes to
render some real service to the base
ball players and managers of this
section with this new plan. 1t will
be worked out in such way as to
give the necessary information to
the managers or players in the
shortest possible time. There will
be no charge, the services being abb
solutely free, with no strings at
tached.
All players and managers, regard
less of rank, or position, are request
ed to send their names, addresses,
telephone numbers, past team con-
rections and prospective team con-
nections to the Bee Clearing House
for Amateur Base Ball Players as
soon as possible.
Any manager wishing to connect
with some player whom he is un-
able to locate is welcome to use the
clearing house files.
