There are eight Wgh schools in Greene county and Superintendent McCroskey said yesterday, that in all probability each of these would enter a team at the meet, rne county meet has in years past proved to be a great traction, owing to the rivalry which ex wt a among the High schools.

Walnut Grove, Strafford and Under the terms of the agreement yesterday, Springfield will be allowed to compete in the events of the meet, April 17, but will not be awarded trophies.

This decision was reached after the athletic of the various schools had been thoroughly discussed.

Ash Grove and Republic 8trong "Ash Grove and Republic will probably furnlBh the strongest teams this year, and the rivalry between these two Institutions is exceptionally keen. Both schools have twice won first place in class at the all Southwest meet.

However, It Is necessary for a High school to hold the championship for' three years before the trophy cup becomes the personal property. of the institution. Owing to the fact that Springfield has repeatedly won first place in class of the Southwest meet. It was considered unfair, allow the local team to compete fpr honors. Superintendent MoCroskey said yesterday, that the High school track events were doing much to stimulate the Interest of the students through out the county, and that many of the i schools in the smaller towns had pro tfueed athletes or exceptional qimiww.

Many of the men who have In years past taken part in the High school events, are now winning honors with college and university teams.

March 20 In forecasting a successful season for the minor league baseball clubs throughout the United Slates and Canada, Secretary John it Farrell of the National association said a few days ago; "I be lleve the general prospect for 1920 in the various sections of this country and Canada were never better.

The people are turning to amusements and outdoor sports for recreation in greater numbers than ever before. Last year the minor league clubs enjoyed their most prosperous season in five years past. This era of prosperity extended to all leagues In every section of the country and to the far off Western Canttda league in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta. The minor leagues have flourished under the National association government as never before in the history of baseball." According to the annual report read at the convention of minor league club owners held at Springfield, last November 15 leagues employing nearly 2,600 players began the 1919 season and IS of these finished their official playing schedules. The International Northwestern league closed down June 7, but the New England league paid its players In full for the full term of the schedule which ended September 1, although the league closed Its season on August 2.

This year the pennant winning leagues of 1919, Pacific Coast. American Association International, Western. Southern. Eastern association. Texas; Michigan Ontario, Three South Atlantic, Western Canada, Plr ginia and state are all ready for the coming season.

So are the New England and reconstructed Northwestern organisations and In addition there fa great activity in reviving or reorganising others with every, promise of many of them being ready to begin play early In May. Among these are the Hlue RMge, Corn Belt, Cotton States, illlnols Missourl, Central association, Oklahoma Kansas, New Fiords, Georgia. Alabama and Nebraska state leagues. The National Association of Minor Baseba'l leagues which has been so productive of good results and the welfare of the national gams' was organ, lxed just 0 years ago. At the outset Ord, although standing near the bottom oi me percentage column, rosier naa not as yet discovered his best working combination.

Besides the men who played during the tournament, the following were included in the lineups which the quintet presented at various times during the season: Crowder, Ireland, Fawcett, Hunt. Cloud, Hines, Hornbostle and Volker. All made good records. Many of these men will be back in school next year to form the nucleus of a strong, squad. In the first game of the tournament Matthews was started at forward, but was switched to the running guard position at the end of the first half.

Mo nett, the opponent In the opener, was defeated by a topheavy score. West Plains, the second victim, was defeated In the same decisive manner, placing Springfield In the finals. Buffalo, the other team which got Into the finals, was defeated, 22 to 12. Visitors from surrounding towns were Impressed by the clean cut victory of the local team. Buffalo, playing a rough, vicious game that could not be called basket ball, has since that game protested that they were cheated out of the championship.

No comment on It was composed of nine leagues, but tnree years later, it bad 2s members. and in 1U12 it reached the top notch of (u league members. In that year those 50 leagues embraced 336 cities and towns In the United States and Canada, The launching of the Federal league made inroads on the minors as well as on the major leagues and In 1915, owing to this cause and the outbreak of the European war, the membership drop ped to 40. The three following years, during which every corner of the world waa interested In the great struggle being fought on European battlefields, there was only meager Interest taken in baseball, but a revival set In last year with wonderfully assuring results and It is hoped by the beginning of the playing season one year hence there will be SO leagues In bperatlon and that two years more will find the National association operating with a membership equal to Its banner year.

Tournament that claim is necessary to the other players who witnessed the game. Mumford was the sensation of the season. He won the unanimous vote of the coaches who selected the all southwest quintet for bis position. He might well have been named captain of the team. his running mate, was not outplayed by a single man in his position, although he lost a place on the "all team" that Buffalo might be represented.

Davis outplayed every man he met, not excepting Wilcox of West Plains, who was given preference for the tip off position. He outjumped and outset! red all of his opponents.
