ARBITERS ARE NAMED TO
HEAD SEWARD ATHLETIC
CLUB; TEAMS LINED UP
It took just five weeks of good
hard playing, by the approximate
thirty athletes interested in indoor !
baseball, to determine the ability of
each devotee of the worthy sport, :
as well as to ascertain just who ,
could and who could not find it pos
sible to consistently appear at the ■
gymnasium when his team was sched
uled to play, in order that an equa'li- :
zation arrangement could be worked
out that would distribute the avail- 1
able talent into four units as evenly
as possible. - |
This tedius task was assigned yes
terday to a commission of four men :
well qualified to perform it: Irvin (
Dyer, W. R. Shel'lhorn, Prof. Bar- :
nett and B. lyi. Snyder. As judges <
of the local baseball personnel, and :
for fair-mindedness in assigning the j
players, better arbiters and organi
zers could not be named.
Being guided, chiefly, by the fact (
that Seward townfolk have demon- :
strated that they like the game and -
want to see a league of four evenly
matched teams put on bi-weekly nine '
inning games in the S. A. C. gym, the
above gentlemen, in most serious !
frames of mind, seated themselves
about Prof. Barnett’s table and in
private and undisturbed session de
liberately began the complete dis
mantling of the four temporary teams
that had been playing the game with
utmost rivalry and pep since its in
troduction here some six or seven
weeks ago. Player were matched,
weighed, balanced and counter bal
anced. They were shuffled, then re
shuffled. Pitchers were turned, over
their peculiarities discussed, and their
abilities on paper subjected to the
most scrutinary inspections. Catch
ers, basemen and fielders were treat
ed in like manner until a nearly ex
act valuation was placed on the head
of every man, and in the end twen
ty-eight players were divided into 4
groups of as even strength as their
performances to date warranted.
Team number one embraces: Hop
kins, Swetmann, I.Dyer, Tinkler, Paul.
steiner, T. Dyer and Painter.
Number two: Shellhorn, Valade,
Gus Man they, R. Manthey, Ratliff,
Protzman, Urbach and Nip Johnson.
Number three: Snyder, Barnett,
McEwan, Sheldon, Hickman, Urbach
and Rucker.
Number four: McLaughlin Lein
Robison, Jessen, Bolem, Selby and
Bowley.
For a time, it will mean the play
ing of the game with seven men on
the diamond instead of nine as here
tofore; but the condition is far from
a handicap. Indeed, in many instances
the fewer men on the defense man
tend to show more of the batter’s
punch and cause less booting of bat
ted balls. There will be no borrow
ing except in extreme cases where
illness or some other good reason
may cause the absence of a player,
and then, according to an arrange
ment to be submitted within a day
or two, a player of the same abil
ity may substitute for the occasion.
Monday and Thursday of each week
continue to be the official nights for
indoor baseball, and the games play
ed according to schedule. Thursday,
of this week, teams two and four,
headed by Shellhorn and McLaugh
lin, will start the race for the bean
feed. Teams one and two meet next
Monday, and three and four are to
clash for the second game of next
week. Each organization will elect
its own captain, while the matter of
names for the teams is to be given
further consideration.
The arbiters have also appointed
a staff of edible umpires, and given
them unlimited powers to exercise
while on the diamond, in dealing with
diciplinary behavior of players, the
coaches and spectators during the
progress of a game. Umpires are
being named by the board who are
meeting at Barnett’s office this morn
ing. Information will be provided.

GOOD TEST
—of the purity and stability of a
motor oil is the amount of carbon
it forms.
Zerolene forms, on an average,
30% less carbon than other oils.
The carbon is soft and fluffy and
most of it blows out with the ex
haust. For this reason the Zero'
lenedubncated automobile or mo'
tonboat may be driven from 25 %
to 50% farther without having
the valves ground or the cylinders
rebored.
Zerolene forms less carbon than
any other motor oil \nown to us.
Insist on Zerolene—a better oil.
Ask for it by name—Zerolene.
