The town has no nucleus for a team

The population of cities in the new
circus, according to directory census
of 1913 is as follows Albert Lea,
11,674; Austin, 1850; Owatonna,
10000; Rochester, $4,000; q total Of
nearly $4,000, and IL Mankato, with
naerly $4,000 and F~aribault, with
$4,000, enter, this will be materially
increased. No team need travel more
than eighty miles, the distance from
two extremes, Mankato and -Roches-
the circuit. is forty miles from Albert
Lea, Austin. Rochester and Mankato,
and only fifteen, miles from Faribault.
So that the mileage question, should
not be a troublesome one.
Officers Of the league will serve

year, being philosophical enough to
offer this in order to secure baseball
for the cities named.

With the exception of the I3ehan

The apparent negotiations for the
purchase of tho stock owned by Mr.

before the announcements OF the name
