Roop was considered the peer of all twirlers in this and surrounding counties and made an exceptionally good record twirling for the New Paris Grays last season. Two of the Grays will or have received tryouts with class B teams this season. Reed, third baseman got a tryout with the Fort Wayne Central league team but due to the expected bad season of the central league was given his release without much of a workout. Holmes is well acquainted with the possibilities of Roop and is expecting to give him a thorough trial. Provided he makes good Roop will be seen in the box with the Saginaw team when it plays an exhibition with the local club April 25.

This picture shows the scene in the ring at Havana, when Jess Willard, the new champion of the world, knocked out Jack Johnson in the twenty-sixth round and brought the title back to the white race. The picture shows Referee Welsh in the act of counting Johnson out, wit hhis arm raised. On the other side of the fallen champion is the giant Willard poised to strike again should his opponent rise to his feet. It is a remarkable picture and the only one made at Havana, showing the knockout clearly. Johnson can be seen with his gloved hands over his face, unconscious.

Brookfeds in Row Over Cigarettes

A paper cigarette threatens to cause a wholesale row in the Brooklyn Federal League club. It involves Artie H of man, first baseman, Lee Magee, manager, and R. B. Ward owner of the club.. . At Memphis, Tenn., Magee caught Hofman smoking a cigarette in violation of his training rules, and fined him $10, with a reprimand. Hofman refuses to, abide by the punishment and asserts he will reave the club at Cincinnati and go to his home at Akron, O., to remain there until Mr. Ward remits the fine. He says he has written the facts of the case to the club owner.

XJ&T7 Ward

Magee, however, declares that If Mr. Ward "butts in" and Waives the fine, or gives Hofman permission to smoke cigarettes, he -will quit the team. Meantime, Hofman says he will not play with the Brookfeds and considers himself a free agent. Magee says Hofman' contract has two years to run and he will not permit him to play elsewhere. He terms Hofman a "disorganizer" and says the club would be better off without the 'first baseman. Meantime, Mr. Ward is maintaining a discreet silence and Hay Myers and Claude Cooper are being groomed to cover the initial sack. '

Tryout as Umpire in Indi- ! ana State League Undei George Brehm. In a most harmonious meeting the f Indiana State league yesterday post poned doption of a schedule until the next called meeting. No date hat 1 been set but it will In all probability be called within the next two week i at New Castle. All present were much elated over the way fans in their respective citle? have taken care of the I. S. L. and predict the greatest season for Semi-Pro ball that has ever been staged In the state. . The constitution with a few minor changes was adopted. A clause in ' serted in It read that "teams can reserve players from season to season but must file notice with the secretary. All clubs must cut Jhelr reserve list down to twelve men on or before June 1st. Accepts Proposition. George Brehm's propostion to supply the league with the Goldsmiths ball was accepted. It will be necessary for one of the home teams to play out of the city the first game and In the drawing the Rushville club was the one to draw the first out of town game. Because of the schedule not being adopted it is not known where they will play. All teams posted their forfeits and Doc LIttel of Cambridge came across ' with his $1,200 which is required of ; the treasurer of the league. The resignation of Dean Norris. -fourth vice president of the league was read and accepted no one was elected to fill the place made vacant by him. '' In the absence of Charles Becker, manager of the Perkins-Campbells, Otto Birmbaum attended as his proxy. Prevents Loading Up.

The elegibillty rule will prevent teams from loading up late tn the season. This will assure the fans of seeing the regular teams in action right up to the last and will also protect the backers of the teams in that they will not have to go out and pay a fancy price for the services of some returned big leaguers. A Richmond man, Roy Peck, Is included in the staff of umpires which will be tried out by President Ritter. Fred Long, first rush on the Em-Roe polo team of Indianapolis, will also get a tryout. He has had experience in minor leagues aB umpire previous to this. Henry Fagerty of Connersville, and George Feye. Cincinnati, are the remaining two. The plan will be to try these men out in the preseason games and should they not come up to the standard which the President has required of them they will be letout and others tried out until he gets a capable staff. The transportation problem which confronts the league will be taken care of by Ritter. He will go to Indianapolis and try and work it out with the Lake Erie R. R. whereby they put on a train of Sundays from New Castle to Connersville, guaranteeing them so much per train.
