MARSHAttTOWN AGAIN LEADS.
Memorial Day Attendance Exceeds
That at Peoria, Leading Three-l City.

Again the Central association has
demonstrated that it is one of the best
drawing organizations in minor league
/, baseball and Marshalltown once more
has shown that ii is the best little
baseball town in the United States.
On Memorial Day Marshalltown
turned into the league treasury
Sl,264.50 as its receipts for the holt
day games. leading the Central as
sociation cities in attendance on that
day. On the same day the Three-I
league masnates went into transports
OF JOY because Of the return of pros
perity, Peoria sending in $1,000 as its
days receipts. leading the other cities
of that organization in attendance.
One thousand dollars for single
days receipts in the .Three-I was of
great moment, and called for prosper
ity stories in the circuit newspapers.
Marshalltown contributed $1.264.5O and
thought the attendance was quite
good. Peoria is a city of about 100,-
600: Marshailtpwn boasts of $1,000.
Commenting on this showing the
Muscat tine News Tribune says:
In the Three-I, Peoria had an at
tendance which netted $1,000, a miracle
which nearly sent the masnates OF
that league wild with JOY. Marshall
town. a baseball burg with much
smaller population, turned out to the
extent of s1.264.50 worth
