ID. A. Fletcher. tho man who forms
new major baseball leagues in his mind,

and tell his customers how he made all
the big league magnates In the country

Fletcher will not organize another
league. He has found that II would
take about as much money as Rookie

There are other players. such as Ty
Cobb, the great outfielder OF the Tigers
and Catcher Johnny Killing of the Cubs
who are said to ave agreed to go with
F~letcher's third rail league. but now
they win not be able TO be SO chesty
