Three Towns in Proposed 10.
League Still Doubtful
However.
LEAGUE MEETING HELD.
MEN INTERESTED IN PROPOSED
CIRCUIT DISCUSSED PLANS YES
TERDAY- SHAMROCkS WILL
NOT TAKE A FRANCHISE.
(5y Tort.)

The Indiana Ohio league is still in
existence. The promoters met yes
terday at Anderson, and every city in
the proposed league was actually rep
resented. While it cannot be stated
that Muncie, Anderson and Hamilton
are actually in the fold, it looks as
though the first two cities will surely
be identified with the organization.
Hamilton is a possibility.
Dial Williams. a veteran baseball
man. represented Anderson. He be-
Ieves that league baseball in that city
would be a success and he is now en-
gagged. with the assistance of Mark
Norton, one of Anderson's wealthiest
business men, in the work of organic
ing a stock company. All that is
necessary to place a team in this city
is to raise 81 900 and feel sure that
this can be done will let you know

Jack Grim. the old Brooklyn star,
represented Muncie. Grim is conf
dent that Muncie would be good
baseball town and if he can induce
some Muncie capital he will head a
team in that city. After the ad-
journment of the meeting. Grim, Gam
BILE and Jessup went to Muncie. where
they saw Attorney Hall, an enthusiasts
tic fan. Mr.. Hall served several
terms in the legislature and was al
ways a staunch supporter of the Sun
day base ball bill. He told Grim that
he would do everything in his power 10
place Muncie on the baseball map.
The first of next week Grim will return
to Muncie, and he and Mr.. Ball will
make an effort to raise stock COM
pany. w. Fl. Watkins. the Indianap-
oils magnate, is back OF Grim in his
effort to place a team in Muncie. Wat
kins figures out that it would be Il
good plan for Indianapolis to establish
/: farm in Muncia, similar to the one
Columbus has established at Lima. O.
The Shamrocks will not take fran
chse in the 10. league because some
of the members of that organization
fear that Muncie will not support d
team. The fans there are of differ
ent opinion. The Shamrocks have of
fered to lease their park to Grim if
he places a team in Muncie Their
proposition will probably be accepted.
John DeArmond at Hamilton states
that it will be possible to place club
in that city if some outside capital can
be interested. In letter to Clarence
Jcssup. DeArmond suggested that an
effort be made to place half of the
stock in the proposed company in this
city. He says that he can place tho
remainder of the stock in Hamilton
To II man up the street Hamilton looks
to be the best ball town in the propos
