The idea of putting International

discussed during tho meetings this

fishing a third major league may also
be advanced later.

were having some trouble in securing
a ball park. They asked that they be
given more time on their option "a
order that they might adjust the DIFF
ficulty which they have encountered
A telegram was also received fro,1
Marshalltown stating that they were
ready to buy the Kewanee franchise
and wanted definite answer as to
whether or not they could have It.
Justice replied to them that the com
mittee was not authorized to conclude
negotiations with them for the fran.
chise but that the matter would have
to be taken up at the meeting of the
league directors.
