scription ll«ts to raise funds to sup
port summer baseball here will be cir
culated among the professional and
business inen this -week by members
of Hartman post No. 84 of the Ameri
can Eegion.
In order to make baseball a success
the legion must raise at least 81,400
by subscription. If this amount is
pledged, the local post will contribute
8100 from Its own treasury.
The post decided that if there is to
be a baseball team in Columbus this
year It will be necessary for the le
gion to take charge of the baseball
program and put it across.
“Mose” Justus, who has been asked
by the post .to act as manager of the
team, has accepted and will work with
the legion's advisory committee of
three members appointed by Post
Commander J. North Evans to assist
Mr. Justus. The team, while under
legion auspices, will be known as a
Columbus ami not as a legion team.

Buffaloes this afternoon.
Robertson Is the Indian who played
in the garden for Sioux City two
>ears ago and who last season left
the Packers to play with Corning,
la., an Independent baseball team.
Rather than oust Robertson from or
ganized baseball for good, the Bioux
City officials had him placed on the
voluntarily retired list, thus saving
his baseball record.
The Indian is one of the hardest
hitting outfielders in the Western
league. He is a good fielder and can
run the bases well. He should add
great strength to the Omaha outfield.
Robertson is at hjs home in Brass
Okl., and has Informed the Omaha
club’that he will report to the fihrevs
port camp Saturday of this week.
Five Buffaloes. Mike Prendersast,
Nick Cullop, Freddie 'jernandt and C.

son when an Injury to his shoulder,
received when he crashed into th«
right field fence, put him on the benc h
a great share of the season.
