Springfield would not support a
winning club in the Interstate league
last year. The hackers of the venture
were compelled to dig deep into their
pockets to pull it through the season.
Now Springfield is asked to support a
very inferior article of base ball at
the tail end of a season, when the club
has no chance to pull out of the sec
ond division. Independent of the con-
sideration that the city is not a good
base ball community. it will be inter-
esting to know whether the lovers of
the game will give up their money to
support club which was not good
enough for Grand Rapids or Columbus,
and accepts Springfield simply be-
cause there is nowhere else to go. Tor
reyson's end is near.
