John McCIoskey, promoter Of the pro-
posed Rio Grande Baseball associat ton,
made one point very clear today in an
interview. No person is going to be
asked to donate one cent to the Ell
RaSO or any other club. l am offering
a business proposition to the fans of
this city. We viii incorporate our
club and place the stock on sale. / ex-
pect that 1t viii pay a fairly good divi-
dend," he said.
Another thing I want TO make clear
is that there will be no saloon or bar
at the new park. We want to cater TO
women and children as well as to the
men and 1 want no liquor sold on our
property Neither viii there be any
betting. The rules of the National as

sreat for a class d organization. Just
Dun out your map book and take a
quint at the map Of western Canada.
W hen the Western Canada league was
lrst organized, the most easterly city
vas Winnipeg and Calgary was on the
vest end. It is about as far from
calgary to Winnipeg as it is from
u PasO to Los Angeles. Yet the old
Western Canada league was one of the
most successful class D circuits ever
organized. 1t was later split up to al
oW other cities to have teams but
wen yet it is pretty long jump from
'algary to Saskatoon or from Edmon-
on to Regina. The Rio Grande asso-
'iation viii have no jumps half as
ong as the northern teams have made
