Show jUSMESJEil I ff OIJIJ IIJDiff HfjH i CAMP- LEWIS, American Lake, Wash., Jan. 19. The Northwestern Baseball league may boast of an odd number of clubs this coming season. The odd club will bo unofficial, of course, and will be composed of a team representing the 91st division of I the army. It is planned to have at team of, the northwestern circuit visit here each Wednesday, Saturday and Sun-i day during the league season to play the camp nine. President Robert Blcwett of the league, and Captain T. G. Cook the camp athletic director, both favor the scheinp. The games of course would have no ' place in the standing of the clubs or! the compilation of batting, pitching or fielding averages. . They are merely! intended to give the national array! mon some big league baseball, and to.! give the 91st division lossers a chance to show what thoy can do against a ' regular league aggregation. " j The camn tonm is rnmnncori r stars as Louis Guisto, tho American! league first baseman, "Red" Oldham,; formerly of the San Francisco Seals; Ten Million, the Northwestern league center fielder, who is said to be I "there" at least one million, and others. oth-ers. Credit for the idea is-due to PresI-' dent Dugdale of the Seattle club, and Judge W. W. McCredie,-holder of the Portland franchise in the Northwestern Northwest-ern league. |
