PRESIDENT BRUSH AT MUNCrE.

Says Everything Looks Favorable for q State
League-KokomoM Meeting Failure.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE. Ind, March 2.-Mr. b. b. Ham,
iIton. Muncie's representative at the Koko-
mo meeting last evening. for the purpose OF
ORGANIZING a baseball league. is home. and
reports that the meeting was q failure and
nothing was done. Elwood. Kokomo.
Marion and some of the other
towns of the proposed league want
il composed of the smaller towns of the
State. with home talent players. Muncie
people have the cash and they want good
ball or none. and will look forward to the
organization of the six-club association.
Mr. John L. Brush. of Indianapolis, was
here and talked very freely yesterday of
the prospects for an Indiana State league.
Dir. Brush said: II would like to see an
organization effected in Indiana. as
believe it would be q great success.
The CITIES are 80 we'll located geographic
ally that but little expense In travelling
would be incurred and that is the all i'm
portant question. The proposed towns are
SO favorably located that the rivalry that
exists would create a big interest. All the
cities in the league would send admirers OF
their clubs to Indianapolis to cheer their
representatives and i believe the league
would be one of the strongest minor organ
lZations ever secured"
MIR. Brush thinks short season, from
May 10 to Aug. Is, would be long enough.
aad that about two games a week would
draw large crowds. He thinks the salary
limit should not be over $500. with guar
antee of $50 to the visiting club. This
salary would get some of the best amateurs
in the country, as there are fewer minor
leagues this year than in any previous year
for q decade. The Muncie represen tative
will visit Indianapolis. Richmond, An
dersou and other places. and o meet
ing will be called for Indianapolis some
time in the near future. An effort will be
made TO get Mr.. Brush in as president of
the league. Richmond IS now q pros
pective member as that city wants place
In the organization. Muncie's park will
probably be situated just north of the city
in the Wysor bottom or just across the
river in North View.
