LEAGUE HEAD SAYS CENTRAL WILL GO AHEAD

President E. W. Dickerson, of the Central League, Is not worrying about the war. His views on the international row co-incide with those of Owner Smith, of South Bend, who feels that baseball will go a long ways toward keeping up American optomism in time of the nation's troubles. Of course, Central League baseball will be discarded if it proves to interfer with the strong delivery wing of Uncle Sam. President Dickerson says: "Magnates of the Central League do not feel that war with Germany is going to have much, if any, effect on the interest in its play this year. It will start its championship season May 3, and every one of the eight clubs is prepared to go through the season. The year of the Spanish-American war was one of the best in which afterward became the Central League. It seems that when the public is aroused it is more liable to seek excitement than when there is nothing out of the ordinary going on."

FROM BASE TO BASE

WITH FRANK DUNING

Syd Stewart, a Chicago boy, who is fairly well known in Richmond, has been turned over to Springfield after the Columbus management had failed to hand him a steady berth. Joe Tinker wa6 more than pleased with Stew until the latter got homesick for Chicago and hiked back for a blink at the loop. When he returned to the Association camp, his chance to make good with the Senators had been permanently shot. To date Ave Evas have reported to Manager Knoll at Evansville: Art Hauger, Covington, Schupp, Matthews and Blank were the first arrivals. The Dayton Vet-New York Giant bout scheduled for Dayton yesterday was called off. Cold weather.

Secretary Farrell has decided that First Baseman Lear, of the Wheeling club, is a free agent. Muskegon thought It had a lease on him. First Basemnn Kelliher, purchased by Springfield from Richmond, Va., of the International, is trying to escape service with the Reapers. After a year in AA baseball, Kelliher is loath to slip back a notch, it seems. Dayton is slated to mix it with the Columbus Association club at Dayton this afternoon. Columbus recently annihilated Cincinnati, it is to be remembered. Johnny Rawlings, with Toledo this spring, may be turned back to the Reapers. Springfield will welcome the return of the short cover.

The motion to appoint delegates to the Monday night meeting carried by only one vote last night. , Secretary L. C. Harrison and W. L. Doyle were named to represent the council.
