Decatur exit reshapes schedule for Quincy and Castles
In Chicago meeting agreement Decatur’s withdrawal from the circuit won’t suspend the race, so seven clubs will play on. Quincy will feel the impact first with the Turks billed to appear, then Castin, as President Oscar W. Shannon moves to book an exhibition for Sunday and perhaps Saturday. Sneed Boys will be idle Thursday to Saturday, likely play Sunday, then idle again Monday and Tuesday, with more games to come after Decatur’s exit. Shannon seeks semi pro or independent teams, possibly a Chicago club, while spending money on a week of idle time and hoping fans show real support.
