Mr.. McDerm'th, VINO was Tor three
seasons mo president OF the Old Iri'
Ssale League. was placed IN tue cha'r:
he desired lhat the Representatives oil
each ciuo 81 'he ptoposeu league make
aVerpal report OF the situation IN each
CITY.
Mr. West reported on tie situation In
Columbus, one OF the best cities OF the
circuit he said that the city is ripe
Tor another exoeriGnce with profession
al base ball, that the arrangements for
grounds are ABOUT completed and that
Ohios capital city would limo up with
good team When play is called.
The Denn!son-U hricnsvil!e people, as
expected, were on hand IN force and
made such a iorcible presentation OF
their claims 10 recognition, IN spite oil
the small size OF tho Two communities,
that 1t was tacitly understood before
the maGnates got together that tho Twin
Cities wesc to be admitted. This being
the case, their delegates were at once
admitted to the meeting and placed on
IN equality with those from the other
cities. One OF the objections to grant.
ing the Twin Cities franchise was the
fact. that neither city supports
daily paper. Nothing daunted by this
obiection-the hustiers from Tuscarawas
promised to at once equip and put in
the field daily paper, knocking out
the objection. Such enterprise may
even have the effect OF making the Twin
Cities one otthe strong spots on the 1n-
ter.State circuit. The delegates from
Dennison and Uhr!chsvllle, when call
ed upon said that grounds had boon ar
ranged Tor and plenty OF backing for the
ball club 10 available.
n. B. Mexican, OF Cleveland, repre-.
sented Dayton. lie said that he had
not vet gone TO Dayton, but that he has
assurances OF support and backing in
running the club there, aud anticipated
no trouble. The grounds. said one OF
the other delegates. are located away oil
from the business centre on horse car
line, but Mexican said he was willing 10
take his chances, and others. present
predicted that Dayton would this year
hold up her end rs well as in previous
years, when the town was represented
in the Tri.state league. Mr.. Mexican
said he was going TO Dayton next Mon
day TO close arrangements Tor grounds
and pu. things in shape for the seasons
opening.
There are Two claimants for the Akron
franchise c. F. Brotherton OF knnsas
City, aud A ]. Watts, oil Sandusky.
Only the latter was present at the meet
Ing. and he reported that he holds an
option on the only available grounds,
those OF Buchicl college. lie wa. not
prepared TO say surely that. Akron
would go ahead, 80 that town was not
then counted on the circuit as cer-
tainty.
President A. G. Buckcnoerger spoke
for the Wheeling club. stating that the
arrangements for grounds had not been
completed, and that ttere did not seom
10 be disposition there TO greatly ell
courage the people who propose 10 take
the risks OF q stormy voyage Oh the sea
OF minor league baseball. However, he
anticipated ,nat All arrangement would
coon be made aud that Whes!ing's base
bail Bpirit wouid DO thoroughly aroused
before the season's opening.
Manager George L. Moreland report
cd for the Steubenvilc club. Every.
thing il lovely, he said; arrangements
10. grounds arc completed and already
mos. oil the team that will represent the
town In 1898 has been signed.
Mr.. Gobt, OF tho Canton club, said
