Chicago, July 24.—Members of the executive and finance committee of the Interstate Three Cushion Billiar1 league met yesterday to plan for the fifth annual tournament to start in October.

Sinn Feincrs to Play Baseball Dia- mond at Annual Outing, Sunday, Aug. 5—dJim Murphy “Bat Boy." A baseball game that is destined to create furore in the sporting world, has arranged hetween two teams, composed of members of the Sinn Fein club, to be staged at the annual outing of the organization at Austin’s Grove, ust 5. At present ‘“Jack” Ross and “Art” Connor, captains of the oppos- ing teams ,are hustling around for also names to be been good material, plied to the team. bers of the club have suggested names to be called, but it is a cinch, that during the game and afterward, many names not as yet heard will be ap- Numerous mem- applied both to the game and the players. Early indications point to some “fast” baseball, and the bets so far recorded (not many) place Ross's team as the favorite. This is prob- ably due to the prowess of Ab Ross who will ascend the mound to do la Alexander. a On the receiving end high in the sporting circies for ability. There is a deep silence con- cerning the makeup of the teams, but it has been learned on excellent au- thority, that such stars of the dia- mond as Tony Walsh, Frank Collins, Charlie Coyle, Denny Sulllvan, Jim Kelly, Tom White, Billy Walsh, and Jim Butler will be found chawing the pill. Jim Murphy who used to put up a good game when “Pop” Anson, Roger Connor and Jim Rourke were in their bovhood days, has been given charge of the bats and the ‘‘water pitcher.” Considerable difficulty is being en- countered in securing an umpire. It has been suggested however, that some soldier who is about to embark for the trenches, might he prevailed upon to accept the job. It is ex- pected that baseball scouts from the major leagues will be on hand to get a line on some of the colts, with the view of offering them fat salaries to join the Giants, White Sox or ths Reds.
