FIVE DIRECTORS

ing Statement Before Meet
ing Says League Expansion
is Certain.

TOLEDO, March 13.-Chances were
bright that South Bend would land a
berth In the Southern Michigan league
when Ed. Smith was called into con-
ference with the directors Of the cir
cult at the BOOdy hotel this afternoon.
IL was known that the question of
granting a franchise To South Bend,
which means the expansion OF the
league TO a ten-club circuit and the 4d-
mission of Toledo as well. was settled
positively and favorably i'm the minds
of at least five of the present fran
chise holders.
The three whose attitude was not
definitely known before the secret

at 1870 o'clock this afternoon. were

Smith, promoter Of the South Bend
team, and prospective manager of the
club, Harry Arndt, we'll known ball
player, r. II. Horst and newspaper

fore noon.
Things looked bright for South
Bend just before the meeting Of the
directors this afternoon. President
James Frank with whom South Bend
ers have been negotiating and who
has given South Bend fans the most
positive encouragement. reiterated
his opinion that the admission of
South Bend to the league was a mere
matter of form.
In a statement Just before going
to the directors meeting Frank said
he was practically certain that own
ers of franchises in five cities in the
present eight-city circuit are in fav-
or OF expanding This majority il was
thought would assure the expansion.
even though the other three, whose
attitude could not be fOrecasted. vot-
ed against the ten-club idea
