CLUB IS TO LAND HERE

Monday Is the day the baseball fans
OF the city will know whether the
champion Williamsport baseball club
will locate IN Wilmington and again
give Wilmington professional base
ball. G. w. Heckerr. whom President
Carpenter of the league designated
to dispose of the Williamsport fran
chise to Wilmington, will be here and
before he leaves there will be an un-
derstanding whether the team comes
here. remains in Williamsport, or goes
to some other town.
So far as grounds and other Incl
dentals is concerned everything is
satisfactorily arranged and what is
needed now is money. The franchise
and the players will cost s2,400, re-
duction OF $500 on the figures those
interested i'm the game at first thought
they would have to pay. In addition
TO this, some repairs will have TO be
made TO the ball grounds acquired
for the team, and at least two players,
first baseman and a third baseman,
will have to be purchased. A work
ing fund also will be needed so that
about $4,000 would be sufficient. Ac-
| corning 10 one man very liluin III

Mayor Spruance said today that he
was anxious to see the team locate
here and would do everything in his
power TO bring this about. even to
assisting the enterprise financially. A
city OF the size of Wilmington, he
said, should have professional base
ball and being somewhat of a fan
himself, he predicts that a winning
club would not only be a money maker
J for those who might invest but an
amusement the public would enjoy
during the coming summer, and in ad-
dition an advertisement for the city.
at would appear ridiculous" said a
fan today, If the city lost the fran
chise because $4,000 could not be
raised Other towns are making a
bid for the team but President Car
penter is particularly interested in
the franchise coming here for he real
ICES that Wilmington is a good base
ball town. This is the first opportun-
ity that the city has had to get a
winning club here and the fans arc
anxious TO sec the team come here. "
