AN INNING WITH THE AMATEURS By CHARLIE LOGAN

ODD FELLOWS TO ORGANIZE The Odd Fellow league will be formed nt a meeting carded for Friday night In the park board offices at the city hall. Tbe suggestion of a fraternal league by Carl Callahan brought tbe Odd Fellows to tbe front with the news that they have enough lodges interested in baseball this year to form a loop of tbeir own and Callahan will assist them In getting organized. All lodges Interested in the league are requested to have representatives at the meeting or get in touch with Callahan at the Km Roe sporting goods store. The following lodges have signified tbeir intentions of entering the league: Lincoln, Indianapolis, Northwestern. Harris. Brigbtwood. Irvington and Brookside. At a meeting of (he Municipal league last night at the city ball, tbe following teams paid their forfeit money and are ready to go for the season: Senators. Chris tain ores. Militaries, Rectors and South Side Turners. There are three open berths in the league and It 1s a toss for positions between the Saxons, High Jakes. Cusacks, Ferndales, Meldons and Rock Cliffs. The first of these teams that post their forfeit will bp admitted. It is planned to elect officers and adopt a schedule at the next meeting. The loop will play Sunday ball. The Indianapolis Tigers will hold their regular meeting Friday evening and all players are requested to report. Manager Massing will run his team through a stiff drill at Garfield park Sunday afteruoon. Teams wishing to practice with the Tigers are requested to call Prospect 7940. “Grindy” Bell has called his Merits out for another stand.

asked to attend an important meeting at Rural street and Bloyd avenue tonight. The Black Sox will held a meeting and practice session at the West Washington street show grounds Sunday morning. Former members of the Lauter A. C. nine should attend. “Tweeney” and “Honest John" aren't doing much toward organizing their ball elubs. ‘Honest John” bought "Tweeney’s" interest in the non-existing Rupps last year. He probably is waiting until Jack organizes this year, then cop his clnb as a means of getting even. The time when the Glppy Skippers and Sky Pilots will stage their battle for the ice water stake is approaching on horseback. The Spades already have admitted that they have the best amateur team in the state. Isn't it funny how these amateur bosses dream ? Tbe Marvels will be in the field again this rear. You have to admit that they tore things up during tbe last half of last year. Folk and fans are betting that Feezle's Marion club outfit will play in the finals of the city championship series next year. Stranger things have happened. Johnny Gualema writes in calling our attention to a “boner" we pulled when we said “Devil" Lucid would catch for the Premier Motors. He will grab off the slants of the YVheeler-Sehebler pitchers. Well .John, we’ll just change it around a bit and let it read like this; Keep your lamps on the Wheeler-Sehebler Carburetors. ‘'Devil" Lucid makes up their allstar cast. Kiddin’ on the square, the Premiers should cut a few capers at that. Gaalema is running the club and the outfit he runs is run right.
