the league, has the following to sa,
of yestrday's meeting.
six baseball clubs yesterday
qualified for membership in the

plicants for franchises were given

requirements OF admission. Not

the league will be one of six or
eight teams. 1Ba f,
One important act at yesterday
afternoons meeting was the agree
ment upon April 23. the fourth
Thursday OF the month. as the
date for starting the season. The
size OF the schedule which President
Quinn will prepare, will depend
upon the number OF clubs making
the race.
President Davidson OF Lancaster,
President Wollenweber of Marion,
President .Sturgis OF Mansfield and
Secretary Hopkins of Newark were
the representatives OF the four char
ter clubs and 1t was by unanimous
vote of these delegates that fran
chises were awarded to Springfield
