NJ. j. Moran, one of the owners of Is
land park, reported that there was nC
lquestion but that baseball could be playeC
on the park this summer and that sut
liable accommodations could be provided
for the spectators. He could not promis,
tjust how extensively the rebuilding of tin
north end Of the grand stand would be
but said there would be seating capacit,
sufficient to meet the demands.
He then said that 1t was up to everyon
connected with Twin State baseball to in
sist upon greater economy this year bc
cause none of the towns concerned coul,
afford expenses such as were paid las
year. He realized that these economical
streaks had shown up every winter an,

by the desire to win, but he believ e,
there was stronger sentiment this yea

i teams to live up to the salary agreement

s man transact the business of the league
He should buy all the supplies for th
S league and hire the players of the difie1
h ent teams desired by the several manag,
4 ments, so long as the players wanted coul
r this way he would have knowledge of th
IS exact salaries being paid by each team an
it would be in position to serve as chec
Is upon the expense account of all the team
h The only possible objection any team
70 management could have to such plan, ]
said, was the knowledge that, if adopte

p ping something over on the others.
+. j. Fenton favored a four-team leagu
y He would favor Brattleboro dropping o.
