This from the man who only recently

astonishment In baseball circles.
The Federal League never had n right
to exist said President Johnson because
II was formed more by trying TO leElsate

demand for the public for such a circuit"
Some Of the cities proposed for the new
circuit are not 20 largo In population as
Minneapolis and the cities at the mouth OF
