positio of each of the teams through
out of the seasons race.
Gary and other cities in Lake county
have put innumerable ball teams in
the field, but there has always been
lacking the proper spirit on the part
of the fans because the victory or de-
feat of an unknown Chicago team
meant nothing but merely the victory
or defeat, sometimes good and some
times ragged game of ball. Becom-
ing a member of a>league of this char
acter, however. instantly becomes an
inducement to the home players to put
good team in the field, and also a de-
sire to best their rivals from the
neighboring cities.
The organizers of the league have
commissioned Sam Sax of this city
as the representative of Gary, Mr.. Sax
being the former manager of the Gary
team. Mr.. Sax being unable to attend
will send some one to represent him
Gary Will join in the movement with
the greatest enthusiasm If it seen thai
the promoters are sincere and that the
scheme will be worked out on prac-
teal and business-like basis.
