The two entries that came down

Salem and Fargo.
Salem stepped out Thursday and
won 2S to 26 from the strong West

At present the real choice of the

three courses open.
The club owners in Ban Johnson's

AS was pointed out some time ago
the American League can get

by private means which would per-

American League men feel there
is nothing in the rule to require the
umpire to carry the little mesh bag
out OF the pitchers box and If the
pitchers do not ask for it there is
nothing to do about it.
Don't Care For 1t
In conversation in the South with
a large number of American League
pitchers, it was found that not a
single first class pitcher wants to
use it. Those who said it might
help once in a while limited that it
could be found on the bench.
Ban Johnson has ordered the
