Statement That the Browns Were

Seven Reasons Outlined Why Bert
Housh and His Pisnies VIII

The rumors eminating from Gales
burg to the effect that Monmouth and
Kewanee would give up their fran
chises in the Central Association, were
branded as false, especially SO far as
Monmouth is concerned, by the board
of directors OF the Monmouth baseball
association. The following statement
was made public yesterday:
In view of the many weird wild
statements regarding the baseball sit
uation in Monmouth that have been
published recently we deem it advis-
able to say: First, that all publica-
tions as to the future of organized
baseball in Monmouth were without
authority.
Second: We confidently expect the
support of the business interests of
Monmouth and the hearty cooperation
of the loyal fans We are doing our
part to keep Monmouth on the map
and We have never annealed TO our
citizens is vain. We feel we won't
this year. 1t is The Monmouth Way
to go through to the end of the chap
ter
Third: We believe these reports
emanated from the fertile and heated
imaginations of envious neighbors
where the wish was father to the
thought as to our failure.
Fourth: We support baseball be
cause it brings the name of our city
In the public eye as nothing else
would and it Is the national pastime
clean and elevating.
Fifth: We have in Manager Hougt
a man of ability and capable Of hold
ing his own in the Central Associa

How II Was poped.

The rumors were that Clinton was
to replace Monmouth and Rock Island
to take the place of Kewanee. Presi-
dent Justice is reported to have stat
ed, on learning of the rumor, that
there were a number of cities anxious
to get in the circuit, among them
Clinton, Galesburg, and Boone, Iowa
But it is not likely that any changes
will be made.
