able Baseball Town.

Youngstown, Jan. 20. Nov that
the OIL league meeting is u mat
ter Of history and Charles NJ. Nor
.on of Akron has been reelected
president, the league and President
Morton w:ll have no stauncher sup
porter than Youngstown.
Hogan made his fight for Youngs-
town and candidate, Sam Wright,
whom he thought would prove the
superior of the present leader. Ho-
gan s fight was one OF principle
md now that he has lost he will
not prove sore head, but will
iight for the interests of the o.
p. league as hard as any omc man
onncctcd with the organization.
Owner Joseph Mcdonald and Man
agcr Hogan were approached at the
National Association of Baseball
.eagles meeting in New York
hort time since by officials Of the
cntral league who were anxious
o have Youngstown and Akron in
ha; organization 1t was arranged
hat Hogan should attend the Cen
tlal meeting which opens a Toledo
IN Monday.
The matter was put to the local
,coplc in such light that led them
believe dhat there was u fighting
hancc to land berth in the Cen
raj. However, since the o. p. Of
icials have practically decided to
prcad out and make the organiza-
ion cnc of 10 clubs, the chances
re that Youngstown will stick to

ely present better inducements
han the O.-P. with Eric and San
dusky the new members.
or course, II has not been de-
ini,ciy decided that Erie and San
usky will be admitted even if the

pears TO be blowing in their dircc-
.on. President Morton and Mana
.er Il,gan both think well Of Eric
nd it is understood both gentle
Icn favor Sandusky US compared TO
ma or GAINESVILLE.
Both Lima and GAINESVILLE are
oOd Sunday towns but they are
oarccly in II class with Sandusky :.
he lake city is spreading out more
| nd more each year and, during the
ast summer over 100000 people
| we're entertained IN the city and
Vt the neighboling resort Cedar

1t stands TO reason that when t
own OF $1,000 people entcrtains
lmcst 100000 persons during Il
,ciiod OF tour months some OF
lem for three and four days, 9th
rs for two weeks and u month

Or these 100000 people probab-
y 709,999 have witnessed baseball

Who is back Of the movements tC
stablish Il team there, is Il lover ol
port and says he is willing to drol
few thousands the first year il

~. lie has associated with hin
men OF wealth and prominence il

Another point in favor of San
husky is that it is the center o

O.-P. team is placed there it wi
have from $4,000 10 10000 peopl
to draw from. The people VIII
