We can endure and even be amused

league circuits to explain the why's and

never was a writer filing space in

can't let pass Misrepresentation by a
minor league president who does or
should know-it he is in the least
qualified to hold his offfce-and for
that reason we are going to the mat
again with our Old friend, Al Tearney
Of the Three Eye league.
AS usually happens after the Fourth
of July, a few minor leagues has sus-
pended-just three in organized ball
so far as our record shows out of some
IS that started the season. Considering
the fact that this is conceded to be a
bad year in many ways, and that the
National Association has recognized
its possible effect upon the miners and
has given them the privilege Of clos
ing shop and still maintaining territor-
ial and player claims. it is a remark
able showing.
The three suspensions reported fol-
lowing the Fourth Of July games were
the Bi-State league, an organization
formed in territory already conceded
to be barren, and which never should
have started: the Rio Grande associa-
ton, a new venture doomed to failure
from the start, but which still hopes TO
reorganize and profting from natural
mistakes Of its inaugural year be in
the field again next season, and the
Southern Michigan league, which has
been a lame duck for several years,
