MAKES PLANS FOR '47 



At least 25 teams are expected to 

 compete in the 1947 season of the 

 lUinois Farm Bureau Baseball league, 

 according to Roy 

 P. Johnson, secre- 

 tary-treasurer of 

 the league and di- 

 rector of special 

 services of the Illi- 

 nois Agricultural 

 Association. 



Johnson based 

 this tentative r e - 

 port on the indica- 

 tions made by team 

 managers and Farm 

 Bureau representa- 

 tives at the 20th annual meeting of the 

 league held in Chicago in mid- 

 February.

Counties represented at the meet- 

 ing that had teams in league competi- 

 tion in 1946 were: Bureau, Coles, De- 

 Kalb, Ford, Henderson, Henry, La- 

 Salle, Lee, Macon, McClean, Stephen- 

 son, Tazewell. Warren and Will. 

 Counties that played last year, but 

 did not have representatives at the meet- 

 ing were: Marshall-Putnam, Boone, 

 Saline, Woodford and Cass. These 

 counties, however, will no doubt enter 

 teams again in 1947. Counties sending 

 representatives to the meeting that 

 were not in league play last year, but 

 indicated interest in 1947 competition, 

 were: Champaign, Logan, Winnebago, 

 Peoria and Livingston. 



Deadline for the entry of teams in 

 the 1947 season is May 1. The only 

 exception to this is that teams may 

 enter up to June 1, provided the mem- 

 ber teams in the affected district agree 

 unanimously to such entry. Last year, 

 competition was divided into seven dis- 

 tricts of the state. 



To be eligible to play on a county 

 team in the league, a player must be 

 a Farm Bureau member in good stand- 

 ing, and not a member of a professional 

 team holding membership in a recog- 

 nized major or minor league. 



Will county won the 1946 league 

 championship by defeating Macon 2 

 to 1 in an 11 -inning game. 



Officers of the league re-elected were 

 Otto Steffey, Stronghurst, president : 

 Ebb Harris, Grayslake, vice-president, 

 and Johnson, secretary-treasurer. 



Guest speaker at the league annual 

 meeting was Don Kolloway of the 

 Chicago White Sox. 



Grand champion bull of the All-Amer- 

 ican Jersey cattle show held last fall 

 at Columbus, O., was Pompous Dream- 

 ing Standard, owned by J. C. Piper 

 and Sons, Richland county. J. C. Piper, 

 is a director and treasurer of Prairie 

 Farms Creamery of OIney.
