GAN ANTONIO, Texas. July %
Whether or not baseball is on the
wane, it is very apparent that
the Texas league club owners are
faced by the necessity of determining
somewhat different course for future
seasons if they intend to perpetuate
the sport in this state on its present
basis The writer has seen not a little
baseball in Texas, and it is apparent
that a change is due-is absolutely es-
sential.
The Texas league gradually has been
sjspeeded up. until today the fans are
y getting better and more expensive
baseball than ever before. But are
they paying for this more expensive
article? Indications point to the fact
that. while attendances have remained
. about StatiOnary-eTen falling off IN
: some quarters-the expenditures have
increased out Of all proportion TO the
receipts at the gate There is every
indication that baseball this year will
be run at A large aggregate loss in
Texas Two or three of the cities prob
ably viii make money Those now ap-
parently likely to show on the right
side of the ledger are Waco and Hous-
ton In the case of a couple of the
&thers II remains to be seen whether
