There is movement on foot 10 of-
ganize league of base ball teams
from the cities of Ohio.
The Mansfield News has taken the
matter up and Is booming 1t to a stand
still. On paper it looks like a good
thing and 1t Is hard to figure how 1t
could lose. Akron Is included in the
list of cities which 1t Is proposed to
take in.
The plan advanced by the Sporting
Editor of the News is given in the fol
lowing taken from that paper. 1t
reads:

The proposed or prospective new lea

fans in this city since the news of
the makeup Of the new Western asso-
citation has been made public, has also
been given an impetus in other towns

al clubs for several years, They are
also equipped with base bah parks and

The great trouble with the old Inter

they furnished was too swift. There
was too much difference in the size OF

from Mansfield. An eight club league
could no doubt be formed and nearly
all the cities would have n ball park
ready to begin the season with. The
list of cities, together with the popu-
latlon of each, from which a league
might be formed with very little work
is as follows: Canton (3O,667,) Akron
q2,72SD Youngstown al ,SS5,) Ianes-
vile (23,l3S) Newark QS,15D, Mans
field u7,64OD Findlay QL613) San
dusky Q9,664,) Lima (2l l,T2SJ Spring
field (3S, ,253) Marion n1,S62.) In addi-
ton TO these Ohio cities there are
othcre cities outside of the state which
would like to get into a league And
erson and Wheeling are both red hot
for base ball this season and both
towns have ban parks already. If a
league were made up of Akron, Spring
field. Canton. GAINESVILLE Lima. San
dusky and Mansfield the combined pop.
uation OF these cities would be 23l O0S.
Although it is getting bit late there
is yet plenty OF time to organize a new
league. The season could be made tn
begin May aud then there would be
no chance of financial loss on account
OF bad weather at the beginning of
the season.

amended. This bill provides for
the pu blication of tax lists.
