CANTON MACMATE
HAS NICE DREAM
Thinks Grand Rapids, Terre
Haute and Evansville Will be
Dropped From Central.

Strange dreams are bothering the
hackers of the national game in Can
ton.
l.. p. D. Yost comes out with the
statement that the Cinnamon will be
in either class A or class B circuit
next year. He even goes on to say
that Canton will be in the Central,
along with several otherr Interstate
clubs and that a number of the old
members Of Heilbner's league will
be dropped.
According to this baseball magnate
Grand Rapids, Terre Haute and Ev-
ansville are doomed to be ousted from
the league and several other cities go
in in their places He says Dayton,
Fort Wayne and Springfield are all
right and within easy reac hof Can
ton, but the others are too far away.
The plan resolves itself into the
idea of redistricting the league. This
thing has been up for the past five
years. Canton evidently has the idea
that the clubs that are in the Central
now are not going to have anything
say about the matter and things are
going to be changed just because
Canton wants into organized baseball.
1t seems that the Cinnamon are sort
of strong for the Central after all.
