in 1914 is the question.

Baseball in 1914 Is the question.
With the dawn OF the new year.
hat old question comes back stronger
than ever: VIII the city see another
year roll by without enjoying the
pleasure when the home team wins
and feeling the disappointment when
ii loses?
There is a good chance for South
Bend Ia get back in organized base
ball, where she belongs. The city -
large enough 10 support a team and
with the proper sort o. management
should develop into a money making
proposition. There are plenty OF fans
in this city and the year without base
ball has put them on edge.
South Bend now has an option to
secure a franchise in a lively organi-
cation. The offer carries with il 4
franchise and enough players 10 start
a season with. All that is lacking is
for the proper man or men 40 come
along and put up the coin. The mon
etary consideration is not a large one
and judging from the record OF the
league in the past year the team could
be made 10 pay.
Private ownership is wanted for the
team IN the city. While the idea OF
stock company is a good one, one man
or two or three can attend 10 the az
fairs better than the larger number.
Most Oh the SUCCESSFUL udll teams OF
the country are owned by only few
individuals
Baseball should Paw.
Naturally the old question arises.
will baseball pay in South Bend? The
writer is OF the opinion that il Will.

trail league in 1912 after being out for
the larger part Of the season, a whole
new team was needed.
In the early winter Of 1912 he had
practically nothing 10 start with. He
had TO build an entirely new team and
this with the fact that y team

game. They did not see the other
