Annual Statement of
Baseball Association
VIII Not Solicit Funds This Year
$97.75 in Fund To Start Ex-
pect Good Season

The board of directors of the
Sank Centre base ball team met
in the Community Club rooms Fri
day evening to formulate plans for
organization. At this time a state
ment of the business of last years
ball team was read and finance for
the coming year was discussed.
It was decided not to solicit for
funds to carry on this years team,
but to operate with the $97.75 and
depend on the gate receipts. It
will be necessary to have the Co
operation of all the fans in this
community to put the team over
with a bang.
Last years team did very well
considering that it was necessary
to purchase new uniforms which
cost $4,000 and practically all
other material, such as masks, bats
and protectors. Very little new
material will be needed to start
this years season.
The following members of the
board Of directors were elected to
positions: Art Weisner, manager;
John Mondloch. to have charge of
the diamond; Steve Deziel, ma
terial; Walt Gritzmacher, secre-
tary; c. J. McLain, advertising; Ed
Nathe, treasurer; Ed Rattle, chair
man. Henry Thiegs, who knows
baseball from A to z, has consented
to be coach Of the team. Henry was
practically drafted and the fact
that he has accepted has met with
the satisfaction of all local fans.
The following is the financial
statement of the past year:

PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS

The latter part Of the week q
three cornered real estate deal
was completed involving two pieces
of Sank Centre city property and
a farm west of the city. Mark Mad
land traded his apartment house on
Oak, near Fourth street, to Fred
E. Crippen for the latter's residence
on Elm street and his farm in
Ashley township.

The above report to the Herald is
incomplete, as several games on
which money was lost are missing.
Transportation should be some
higher and the total receipts should
be more. The reason for the incom-
.plete report is that during the fore
part of the season several accounts
were paid out in cash and no re-
cord kept of them. After Ed Ma
the took over the books he kept an
account Of all monies TAX
en- in and expended.

Senator Schan accepted the issue

After a conference in the White

ment that the coast guard was per

venting smuggling.

Lowman said a coast guard cutter
caught the rum runner transferring
a cargo of liquor to scow and a
small motorboat well within the 12-
mile limit and just outside New York
harbor. He said the cutter hoisted her
pennant. whereupon the rum runner
tried to escape. Several warning shots
were fired before the shell struck the
