- SPORT NEWS ,■ll 1.—.1 1..1 ■■■■.■■ l I — MANY OUT FOR PRACTICE The call sent out last week by the ' manager of the local city baseball 1 team was responded to by many volun- ■ teers yesterday afternoon, about twen--1 ty men turning out for the first practice which was held at Bellmont park. The turn-out yesterday was composed practically of all new material and all local men. In order to give every one a try out, two teams were selected and some new talent was brought out. BLUFFTON TEAM IS WITHOUT MANAGER It was reported today that the city baseball team was to play at Domestic tomorrow in their opening game of the season, but upon inquiry it was found Jack Belger, secretary of the team, knew nothing of the game. Jack also stated he did not know the whereabouts of Harry Isler, captain of the team. This afternoon it was learned that Harry had left Wednesday at noon, for Rock Island, Nebraska, where he has signed up to play with a team of that place. He had two offers from teams in Nebraska, one from Omaha and one from Rock Island and as the Rock Island offer was the best, he accepted. His tryout will be today and should he make good, will remain during the. season but if he fails will return here and help the local team. He says the reason he did not stay here was because several of the men he had signed up to play were causing trouble. —Bluffton Banner. * Yesterday’s hero —Tobin, Brown outfielder hit a homer in the tenth inning and beat the White Sox, 4 to 3.
