obtained a dominance of the Ce-

it was perceived that Japan had

had been smuggled into Shanghai

German officers OF the Chinese
Army had been dismissed and
their place taken by Japanese.

forfeited and. in each case, had
been financed by Japanese capi-

The Iowa State League this week
changed its name. kicked MARSHALL

thus ended. for the time at least. this
citN's professional base ball experience.
1t is almost a safe bet that were a
vote of the town taken more would be
glad than sorry hat Marshalltown is
no more in a professional base ball
way. From years OF the experience
it has cost the city at the least calcu-
lation $4,000, and over and above
all expenses it has cost not less thar
$4,000. Those that love the game
will regret Marshalltown is to have
no more of it, but many others ques-
tion whether the game was ever
worth the price it fcost.
MarshalltoWn's experience with pro-
base ball teams and leagues
has been the same as every other city
has tried ii. 1t always has and
always will be unsuccessful financially.

ceeds the receipts. 1t Is a safe pre-
