WILL SELL WI FRANCHISE
Decision Of Madison Club to Sell
Holdings in League May Mean
Its End.

Madison.-The franchise of the Mad
ison baseball club has been put on
the auction block and will be disposed
OF to the highest bidder.
The decision to take this action was
reached at a meeting of the directors
of the club. The association has been
struggling along for several years
with debt Of few thousand dollars
hanging over its head and the direc-
torate has decided to give up the bat
tie to get even and put 1915 team on
the diamond.
The decision of the Madison club
will probably mean the end of the
Observation-Disclosures league. At the
Omaha, Neb, meeting of minor league
heads the Oshkosh team put it's fran
chise on the market. There were no
bidders.
