    "In early 1911 Crown Point became a founding franchise of the Northern Indiana Baseball Association, which set the maximum pay for a pitcher at “$12.50 per game and a catcher $7 per game, and in no case shall the total payroll per game exceed $50.”22 When Crown Point’s equipment manager lost Henning’s wallet to a pickpocket in midseason, the $25 he was out thus corresponded to his pay for two games.23"

South Bend

1923-5-20 W/plenty o' pros (not added to player sections): Hammond v. Tannehill-Wolf preview.

1923-7-02 Mishawaka Dodges of South Bend journey to Chicago to be drubbed 12-1 by Logan Squares before a crowd four thousand strong.

1925-9-26 "the Benders have been displaying talent to attract the attention of fans within a 25-mile radius."

    Will play Beloit Fairies, who have lots of ex-leaguers. "Rabbit Cerney was in the Central League until three years ago when he jumped organized baseball for the once famous 'million dollar' Sturgis nine." 

1926-6-17 Benders misc. news.
1930-5-18 " 'Tiny' Simons will probably prove a bigger sensation than Big Dave Davenport, according to the 'Indiana Kid.' Weighing 240 pounds and standing six feet five inches in his stocking feet, the giant Texan has demonstrated to [South Bend Indians' manager] Koehler that he not only possess terrific speed, but a neat 'screw ball' and 'submarine delivery,' the latter patterned along the lines that Carl Mays worked in the American league for years."

1930-9-12 Ben Koehler's Indians will play Bob Guzinski's Jolly Athletics in duel for local supremacy. Jolly Athletics are dominating Ed Dickerson's tournament at Grand Rapids.

    Joe Baker has been catching locally for fifteen years 

    Ollie Bejma will appear in Indian's line-up (South Bend native)
