A. A, CLUBS HAVE
REAL Lean Year
Chivington Circuit Suffers
Heavy Losses But Still
is Intact.

st. Paul, Sept. 29.-Of the Ameri-
can association season that came to a
close Sunday, the best that can be
said is that the association suffered
less severely than did the lnternation-
al league, the other important class
AA baseball organization. In the In
ternational most of the clubs were hit
hard. In the association Milwaukee
ana Louisville can show a fairly pro-
htable season. Columbus broke lit
tie better than even: all the other
clubs probably lost monev. though
they may not admit it. Locally the
season in every way was the most dis
astrous in the history of the associa-
ton.
The baseball war and a general feel
ing of disgust over the constant bick-
ering are responsible chiefly for the
falling off i'll interest in the A. A.
Kansas City and Indianapolis were
forced to compete with direct Federal
opposition, and it is admitted that the
falling off in receipts at those places
was considerable.
However, the association clubs all
weathered the storm in shape to con-
tinue in the field. Bv next season the
novelty of the Federal league will
have worn off and the fans will know
that its pretentions to being a major
league caliber are absurd The Feds
VIII next season attract patronage on
the basis of being league possibly
faster than the A A. circuits, but
falling far short of being in the TOP
class. There is little doubt that they
will retire from Kansas City. and
probably from INDIANAPOLIS as well

New York, Sept 29.-Raids by the

which Sunday closed the most disas-

In former years, notably during the

There will be changes though in the
circuit, and it is with the view of

substituting for them teams in cities
where margin of profit can be fig

Ed Barrows and his associates in the
management of the league are devot-

II cannot say for sure at this time

positively, however, that there will be
several changes and that in making
them we will strive to arrange a cir
cult which practically will be impreg-
nable against the assaults of the Fed

may enter the field.
Having weathered the present

REORGANIZATION PUTS PULFORD OF
WINNIPEG OUT: VIRGINIA TEAM SENT
T0P0R7 ARTHUR; W|N0NA CAN'T FIGHT

The reorganization of the Northern
league yesterday as siX-club circuit
brings about interesting changes in
northwestern baseball affairs.
That the Northern won't continue
long as six-club circuit is certain.
Geographically, the thing won't work
out, and il will be necessary to add
two more clubs, making it an eight
club league, before ideal conditions
can be brought about
With two towns $50 miles west of
the league center, and two other
towns 800 miles east of the league
center, the schedule difficulties, mile
age feature, ETC., becomes involved.
However, with four towns on one
end Of circuit, and four on the 9TH
er, the league could work out in good
shape.
Under the reorganization of the Nor
thern league. A. H. Pulford is ousted
as the franchise holder at Winnipeg,
the franchise in the new league there
being granted to E. H. Webb.
The Virginia team of last year is
transferred to Port Arthur, and the
franchise there is granted to Finch
and Coates, owners of the Virginia
franchise in the 1914 circuit.
The St. Boniface franchise is grant
ed to NJ Cantillon Of Minneapolis,
holder of the Fargo franchise in the
old Northern.
Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-09-29

Blume continues as the owner of the
Duluth franchise, DR.. Mitchell be-
comes the owner of the Ft. William
Franchise, and Bill Sommer continues
as the owner of the Superior fran
chise.
Franchise rights held by cities in
the Northern this year are not ma
terial. Winona, while threatening
trouble, really has nothing to fight on
1t held the Winona franchise on a
year to year basis. and the only
chance that city has to realize on it's
club is by the sale of it's players
The Fargo team is transferred to
ST. Boniface, while Grand Forks has
been protected so far as it's ownership
of the team Is concerned.
The elimination of Mr.. Pulford at
this time is interesting. Pulford
wasn't represented at the meeting in
Minneapolis yesterday, nor was he
represented in the Duluth meeting, re-
Gently held.
The league has been organized as
six-club affair and announcement has
been made that John Burmeister has
been elected for the entire ten-year
period for which the circuit has been
organized, but still there is the pos
sibility that further changes will be
made in the circuit before next season
opens.

FRANK SCHWARTZ REPORTED
SERIOUSLY ILL.

Frank Schwartz who has for many
years been engaged in the mercantile
business in the Cape, recently con-
cluded that the work was too con-
filming and for the purpose of improv-
ing the condition of his health, pur-
chased a wagon and team and took
up the work of hauling rock, thinking
that he would be benefited thereby.
He was disappointed however, rs he
has recently developed a most severe
case Of rheumatism, which has rapidly
grown worse. II has been forced to
abandon his labors m order that he
night receive medical treatment. The
joints of his body, and especially the
knees have become badly swollen
and cause him constant cXCrucating
pain. His doctor has advised him to
forcgo any physical effort and to re-
main ms nearly perfectly quiet as
possible, as his case was most serious
and would have to be treated with
great care. Frank dislikcs very
much the idea Of ccasing his activi-
ties, and it was with much reluctance
that he obcycd the physicians direc-
tions. II is believed that if he does
not suffer a relapse, that he will
probably be able to resume his
labors within the next few weeks.
