PLANS ADOPTED
A twenty game schedule was adop-
ted. The season will open with the
following games: Lancaster at
Platteville; Livingston at Highland;
and Shullsburg at Galena. Each club
is restricted to but two salaried men.
Strict regulations were adopted rela-
tive to betting or gambling either on
the grounds of the various clubs or
adjacent thereto; rowdyism, loud and
profane language is positively for
hidden and the President of the
league, Wm Roddick, of Platteville,
commanded all baseball officials to
provide for the enforcement of these
rules; and any club neglecting to en-
force same will be compelled to sur
render its franchise as well as forfeit
ing its guarantee fund.
The following names were submit
ted as candidate for the position of
umpires, for the playing season of
1921, the President being granted ar
bitrary power to remove for reason
or incompetency. Bert McKeown
Platteville; Capt. Lane, Lancaster;
Ross Shuman, Linden; DR.. G. M. Kin
ney, Benton; Gordon (Slim) Lewis;
Highland; w. r. Hirst, Galena; Thorn
as Grimm, Cuba City.
At Lancaster a new baseball field
has been laid out north of the city.
Platteville will construct grand
stand with ample seating capacity
and guarantees a clear field to ball
players, official scorers and umpires.
This feature will be carried out OF the
letter at all the towns represented
in the league. Shullsburg, Galena,
Lancaster and, Highland are provided
with splendid baseball fields and the
necessary accommodations required
for the convenience of the public. The
officials of the various clubs have all
been chosen with great care and COM
prise reputable business and profess
sional men who have the national
game sincerely at heart and will strive
in every manner possible to give
southwest Wisconsin and northwest
ern Illinois high class baseball games,
clearly and decently conducted and
guarantee that baseball will be raised
to higher level than ever before es-
tablished.
