This evening an important meeting OF
the stockholders of the Providence Base

the coming playing season VIII be reach
ed.
IL is quite certain now that Charlie
Carr, who is wanted by President cressy
Tor playing manager VIII be secured,
and while Manager Barrows OF Detroit
does not want to give that player up
IL is fact that President Johnson or
the American league has assured Presl-
dent Powers that Barrows will be re-

The season has 40 far advanced that
there is not time for. the fitting UP or
new grounds and so that the Providence
team will hold forth for the coming sea-
son at Adelaide Park. There are many
who believe that IL would have been OF
change and locate elsewhere. That may
be so. Adelaide park is not ideal grounds.
nevertheless. with good team. there fs
no reason to believe the patrons Will not
visit the grounds quite as frequently as
they would were grounds located else

1t is held that grounds near the center
of the city would give opportunity for the
patrons to see the games and to lose less
time than might otherwise be lost I'm go-
Ing and coming. but the attraction is the
principal thing after all, and with a team
that stands well in the race IL is reason
able to believe that the patronage will be

minute to command the best possible
price for their services

for the transfer OF Carr to this city and
as soon as the transfer Is arranged IL is
