Clark to Be Given Chance With Peoria of 3-Eye League.

Howard Clark, who pitched sensational ball for the Athletics this year, has been offered a chance to try out with the Peoria, 111., team of the Three-Eye League next spring. When in condition Clark’s work this year was little short of sensational, and in not a single game pitched for the locals was he given a severe drubbing. Unfortunately it almost invariably occurred that when there was a little hittings started, the support gave way, Clark, however, pitched several 'shut-out games in which the visiting teams made only 2 or 3 hits, while 9 was the most made off his delivery in any game pitched for the Athletics during the season, and in some of these games he was not in the best condition because the games came too close together. If he goes to Peoria or elsewhere to try-out the Athletics will be up against it for a pitcher next year, when it is planned to have another game, to get started earlier and on which most of this year’s team will play.
