II has been suggested that interest
is lacking in the game locally because
the majority Of the players are pro
fessionals and there Is no personal IN
forest in their work. However, sew
eral of the boys are well known ana
popular in the community and thls
solution would not seem to he suiif
Client It has been suggested again
that the people do not care to attend
Sunday baseball. But most OF the
games have been in pairs with one
on Saturday and the Saturday games
have not been even as well patronized
as those on Sunday. However, Sat
urday is the most difficult day in the
week for the population OF this busy
community to get off and 1t offers
hardly fair basis of comparison
Another reason, and undoubtedly
weighty one, for the financial iaiiure
of the sport, is the fact that on mos
of the days set for games, the weather
has been bad. 1t has either rained o.
threatened to rain time after time un
III the management has about con
cluded that whenever rain Is needed
all that is necessary is to arrange

Another reason set forth is that d
team has been unfortunate In losin
most of the home games. But whe
the hest of sport was promised, an
no one could foresee a one-sided gam
the attendance was little Improved.
Probably neither cne 81 'hese re
