Chief Meyers.
BY NORMAN E. BROWN.

Did you ever stop to think that
it is a fortunate thing for minor
league fans that the great stars of
baseball ordinarily cannot break
away from the game when their
major league days are done? If the
great men of the National and
American leagues laid down their
equipment when released from the
big show the minor league fans
would be deprived Of a chance to
see in action the men they have
been reading about for years.
The case of Chief Meyers is the
latest one to illustrate this.
Back in 1908 the Giants announc-
ed they had purchased an Indian
catcher-known as Chief Meyers
from the ST. Paul club. The next
spIng, down at Marlin, Texas,
Meyers broke into fame early as a
long distance hitter. When he went
north his personality and his good
work behind the plate won a place
in New York fandom's heart.
He continued to star with the
Giants until 1917. when it was seen
that he was slipping. The next sea-
son he was traded to Brooklyn,
and, failing to fill the bill there,
drifted out Of the big show.
Now he has been signed by Chief
Bender to catch his brother chief
Bender is managing the New Haven
Eastern league club and will take
his turn in the box too. Meyers
ought to be good for several sea-
sons in the minors and consequent
ly the fans will get a chance to see
the great Indian catcher in action,
even though he is a bit slower than
in his palmy days.
Before entering baseball Meyers
graduated from Dartmouth college.
He spent three years in the minors,
partly at his request. to learn pro-
fessional baseball before joining
the Giants.

GOLF BALL RUSH
AUGURS A HEAVY
SEASON ON LINKS

A record breaking year in golf is
indicated by an unprecedented de-
mand for golf balls. Prospect of
a possible shortage is tempered by
the fact that prices will be the
same as last season.
All of the factories have been
going at full capacity and several
have been working two and three
shifts for the first time in their
history.
Heretofore the firms have con-
tracted with the professionals for
their years supply, making deliv-
cries throughout the season, but
the contracts this year specify the
balls must be taken by June /.
Shipments are being made now
but the final deliveries will be on
their way by June l. After that it
may be possible TO fill orders pro-
portionately,
Heavy demand last year necessi-
tated a speedy output, and it was
found the quick-drying paints did
not stand up WELL In drying the
ball so as to prepare it for paint
ing il was found that little beads
formed and this caused the paint to
chip. This defect has been rem
edied.
There are seasons in the life OF
a ball, as in the life Of an egg. II
is possible to have the ball too
green. so that later on it will lose
its resiliency. For this reason it is
unwise to manufacture too large q
stock at one time, to say nothing
OF the amount of money it would
tie up.

Al. FIGHT CAN'T

GOOD AGREEMENT

Possibility of the squahble be-
tween the two hitherto warning fac
tons in the ranks of the American
league club owners. is practically
annulled by the strength of the
final agreement they signed yester-
day morning, as told in press dis
patches.
The resolution makes the fight
appear to be a compromise in that
it calls off all litigation instituted
by the New York club against Pres
ident Johnson and at the same time
reinstates Carl Mays as a member
of the New York club in good stand
ing, as we'll as recognizing all the
games in which he played last fall,
thus giving New York third place
and third prize money in the 1919
race.
The meeting started early in the
evening, with all members present
and their attorneys on the scene.
| When the thing was finally ended
the attorneys gave out the follow
ing statement:

URGE FANS TO
TURN OUT FOR
next MEETING
II Is Highly Probable Tighe viii
be Made Manager - Confer
with Several Players.

BY the turnout of fans at the
Harper house Monday night will
be shown the appreciation of Rock
Island for baseball this summer.
The meeting has been called by M.
II. Sexton, Jack Tighe and Walter
Flanagan. who attended the Three
Eye meeting in Chicago, for the
purpose of perfecting the organic
alton of the Rock Island associa-
ton. Money, lots Of it, is needed
in order to insure a strong founda-
ton for the association to battle
its way through the trials that a
baseball campaign in a minor
league generally produce. Be on
hand and bring along your willing
ness to help.
Sexton, Tighe and Flanagan
while in Chicago got in touch with
likely number Of prospective
baseball players for the local club,
among whom was Jimmy Cerny,
the wee shortstop who performed
in Rock Island along in 1916. Re-
member last spring that Jimmy
went on the training trip with the
| Chicago White Sox and was picked
as a likely man for the squad.
when he broke an ankle sliding
| into one Of the bags.
Although the reins Of manage
ment cannot officially be conferred
on Tighe until action is taken by
/ the perfected organization, it is re-
garded as a certainty that he will
be the man selected, That is, ev-
erything being satisfactory to both
parties. Jack is the man the fans
want for the place, and it is prac-
tically assured that he will be at
the helm with team up battling
for the old rag.
Mike Sexton is also being boom
ed for president of the Rock Island
club, and if he will consent to
serve in this capacity, his election
seems a certainty. 1t was mainly
through his influence that baseball
was again brought to Rock Island
and the fans appreciate everything
he has done.
Among other things that the del
egation learned while in Chicago
| was the high price of uniforms.
Outfits were looked over, and it was
found that presentable ones will
entail an outlay of around $500
which is almost 200 per cent above
what it used to cost. Blank forms
for contracts were purchased. and
as soon as the authority is given
! Tighe he will Immediately send
them out to prospects to be signed

much to be done in assembling a
