KNER PROBLEM
*ACES DIRECTORS.
T One of the toughest propositions that
s. $er arose in the amateur ball game Is
Sw confronting r. Walter jarvis. presi-
mt Of the I. a B. A, and the directors
that body.
&The proposition is this: Are the South
de Turner'S eligible for competition in
city amateur championship series
When the municipal organization talk
Rs started the Turner's Jumped into
e IRE and kept things boiling. Capt.
aehler and Manager Neu were big fac
rs in organizing the loop and then
ey organized a team that was better
an anything in the circuit. Only
n games were played when the league
ew up. with the Turner'S holding the
lad position.
ii At this time President Jarvis and the
bard OF directors voted that the Turn
Is should play in the city series, but
#ow there are protests coming from oil
rectors and trouble IS brewing fast.
pme OF the Saturday afternoon league
anagers Insist that the Turner'S be
srred from the championship tits.
There is no getting around the fact
bat the Turner'S did all they could
% hold the Municipal loop together,
Roviny that they wanted TO stay in
arT~hght and win their way to the
city series by clean baseball and il
seems the other amateur clubs should
prove themselves true spOrtsmen BY &C.
Day In the big games with favor.
The Turner'S have played seven games
his wear and won all, scoring a total Of
3 runs. The team is batting for an
everage Of 1888, with individual averages
as follows: Gull, .45s; McElfresh, .449 I;
Schaub, 1888; Grund, 81; Hoffman. $50;
