 League
BETTER THAN EXPECTED

The report of the treasurer of ,he warren district baseball leaeue ;nst completed, will be encouragine to tha lsleus s,n oI the game in the Warren uisuicI "ith all expenses paid, there ,s lalhs a balance of $5345 in the lasue treasury From a standpoint or hnanee, this may not be a howling success, but it will be remembered mat at the outset it was stated tbaf II was not the purpose of the league to make money. but to furnish a Nnolesome sport for the summer months.
 The league has been managed in a businessiike manner, and the manager ana board of directors of inc ieagne as well as the players themselves deserve and have the thanks of inc Ians of the whole district. Ii wonI6 nave been a success from the point of view of the directors and the fans II there had been a small deficit in stead of a balance in cash. for the league has furnished "somewhera to go on Sunday afternoon through inc dull season of the year

Allen led the league in base stealing and in hitting. and there is no doubt but that he has all of the qualifications of the SlZ league player. and there are a num Der of others in the eligible class.
 The formation of the city league came on the heels of an unsuccess. ful interstate league season. and many of the fans were pessimistic over the probabilities of city league or any kind of organized baseball. It waa necessary for baseball an the old Cac- tus league circuit to have a re-incu- bation, and the organization of city leagues in the towns that composed the old Cactus league has been that re-incubetion. There have been sue cessful city league seasons at Bisbee, Douglas. Fl Paso and Tucson. Al ready there is talk of a new inter- state league for the season Of 1912, and Fl Paso has gone on record as
