OTHER TEAMS SIGN PLAYERS FOR YEAR Local Xlnb Owners Are As Yet Unagreed As To Wbo Will Manage- Although the Charlotte baseball management is still unable to decide upon a manager for the new season, other club ownersare going ' right ahead with the work not -only of se curing their managers, but their ball players as well It is expected that be fore this week is out, the local club owners will have settled upon a man ager and it is not unlikely that Champ Qsteen will be returned, owing! to the fact that the directors are unwilling to go out and - try ; an entirely new man who may not hayp any "advan tage over Osteen in the qualities -necr essary for managing. Moreover, it is argued that Osteen will have the ben efit of the experience he acquired last year and may turn out to be the sort of a man desired here.- Of interest in this connection is the following from The Durham Sun showing that Jim itelly, who is to manage the team of the Bull City, is doing these days: "The signed contract of James ' A. Kelly of Wilkesbarre, Pa., who .is . to lead the Durham team in the North Carolina League, was received by the athletic association . this morning. -In negotiating terms with the manager, the association -gave him entire con trol over hiring and discharging the players in fact, absolute management of the team-r-informing him ..that 'he would be held personally responsible for the conduct of the individuals and the showing made. . Mr. : Kelly ' was told that two things in particular the management of the local club would demand of him. First, that the team should be ..composed of ' men who would conduct themselves as gentle men on and off the field;' second, that the rules of the ; North Carolina League under which the ., local asso ciation holds its franchise, should be followed to the letter, and thaCat. no time, . or under any, . circumstances, must the salary of the -teanC exclusive of manager, exceed the limit 'as fixed by the league, of $1,200. "That Kelly will meet the require ments of the local .management goes without saying, for, besides -being the best all round player and hardest -hit; Coughing at Night. " 1 ' " : One ba A cough can keep.: the ' "whole family awake at night. - Phli, Disorneau, Schaffer, Mich, says: "I could not sleep on account of a bad cough, 'and I. was very weak.

"A Durham boy; who has-been mak ing rapid strides as an outfielder and who hit around 400 in: the Piedmont League last year received a flattering offer for a tryout with both Charlotte and Greensboro, but has . decided to try his fortune with the home team, and has signed a contract already. This player is ; Mr. M. . A. .; Angler, known to .the local fans as "Shorty Angier." Those . who". have seen ' An gler play predict that he will ' make, good in the . league and that the next 4few years" will see him In the big company. - ' - ' "Mr. Kelly writes that his team will be built largely of-college stars, as he believes in youth and speed as two of the most important attributes in the make-up of a pennant-winning team,' such as he' hopes to ' have in Durham. - . : "There is a surprise In store for the fans in the next few days .when the names of those to compose the local team are given . out; a very satisfac tory surprise too as the list wiircarry i the names - of certain players s- whose standing are well known to local lov ers, of the game - ' NEW MOREHE AD HOME NEARLYCOMPLETED The residence-of Mr. John M.
