the only games that draw in Milwaukee
are the Saturday and Sunday ones. "In

perhaps fifty semi-proiessional clubs
composed OF some very good players.

OF the best players at a far lower salary
than the present ones are receiving and
form club. a schedule will then be
arranged so that games with different
clubs can be played at Milwaukee on
every Saturday and Sunday of the sea-
son. A. G. Spalding has also made the
proposition to the Milwaukee people to
bring his club and whatever other club
Is at Chicago at the time over to Mil
waukee to play such Sundays as are en-
Draced in Chicago's s home scnedule." 1t
