new ENGLAND LEAGUE
IN SHAKY CONDITION
Financial Backing Poor and Three
Cities May Not Finish Season.
worcester Post.)

Followers of the New England
league are wondering what is going
to become of the organization. Con-
dftions at present are anything but
healthy, and the outlook for the sea-
son of 1918, even before it is opened,
is anything but encouraging. Little
attention seems to have been paid to
what might please the public. The
magnates have been governed in ac-
ton by their own desires.
The first break in confidence in the
leagues stability came shortly after
the schedules were announced. Many
business men throughout the circuit
had printed souvenirs with the list of
games neatly printed on cards and in
attractive booklets. The league di-
rectors then took the franchise away
from Haverhill and transferred it to
Fall River, whose team had previously
been placed in Portland, Me. Haver-
hill is a good baseball city while Fall
River has been tried and found want
ing. Why this change was made the
fans are curious to know, especially
the people of Haverhill.
Looking over the clubs entered in
this years race, the fans will find at
least three that will have troubles
trying to stay in the circuit with poor
baseball clubs. Worcester is assured
of a good team. The Worcester man
agement is not the most liberal in the
baseball world. but Manager Jesse
Burkett has knack of getting more
work out of his players than any 9TH
er leader in the league. The dnan-
cial conditions in the Heart of the
Commonwealth are all right; and the
ball players are sure Of their envelopes
twice a month.
Lawrence, also, is well of financial
~. It prospered by the sale of play
ers. Winning the championship brought
a lot Of extra change into the treasury
