- An ANIONlO- Texas, Nov. With
the fall meeting passed into his
- tory, the Texas league magnates
have returned TO their respective homes
TO begin plans for 1915. The fate Of
the BronchOs is still in the balance,
pending the efforts Of local commit
tees 10 prove san AutoniOs loyalty to-
wards supporting a team that may be
entered. At Dallas Joe Gardner is busy
with his plans for ball yard which
he Is having installed along the lines
OF the Block stadium
The local fans sent up 4 roar over
the announcement that san Antonio
was threatened with the loss OF its
franchise, but this did not deter the
magnates in their action As a result
there is a busy bunch Of hustlers in
the field TO show that this city viii
support a team in the Texas league.
They have until December ! TO do this
In the meantime two club leaders
who proved important factors in the
league race the l@st season are quietly
sOjourning here and keeping in touch
with affairs at headquarters One Of
these is Pat Newman and the other
Cap Leidy- Both are busy carrying on
their winter correspondence. in which
they are keeping in touch with players
Of the past, present and future
Circuit Not Definitely Settled.
Just what kind of a circuit the Texas
league Will have next season viii not
be definitely known until san Antonio
is finally heard from on its willingness
TO support a team. That this IS too
good a town to keep out Of the league
cannot be denied. but the fact remains
that without Austin in the league a
condition presents itself that makes
for mileage, something that is the aim
OF the magnateS to keep down TO
minimum, with Shreveport in the
league, however. IL is believed the at
tendance that the Louisiana town and
san Antonio would supply would more
than offset the increased mileage This
CITY mas arrived at a stage where II
could i'll afford 10 be without a club
IN the Texas league, and at the same
lTne the Texas league cannot afford
70 keep san Antonio out Of the circuit
san Antonio. Dallas and Houston have
always been regarded as the mainstay
or the organization and the magnates
should ponder well beyond taking
Ilnal action on dropping the Alamo /
City, the cradle Of Texas liberty.
