NO TROLLEY LEAGUE

That Fans VIII Have to Go to

There will be no Trolley LeagUe

conditions are such that most of~the
players will joint some branch OF the

Justify the experiment OF a league, it
is believed. this sea son, with the cOun-
Try a. war. Thus far this season the
attendance at the big league games
has been very small and manT pre-
dict that both the American and the
National Leagues will not finish the
season after the draft of players from
these two organizations is completed
Nearly 200 players from these two
leagues are subject to the draft and
among them the stars Of the profess
sion. This would practically wreck
the two big leagues. Many of the
PLAYERS in last seasons Trolley League
have already enlisted in the army and
navy. more will doubtless be drafted
Among some of the players in the
Trolley League last year who are in
the game at the present time is Thorn
as Turner, who is pitching fine BAH for
Des MONIES. Ia in the Western
League Pitcher Jack Tillman of the
Augusta Club is playing in Charles
ton. S. c., in the Southern League
Harry Lord and Cuke Barrows of the
Gardiner team are playing with Port
land in the Eastern League. Loman,
who pitched a few games for Gardiner,
is with St. Louis American League
Club and Uncle Bill Luyster is with
Utica. \. Y. Coady and Percy Cobb
are at Plattsburg training camps. It
certainly looks. as though the baseball
fans of Central Maine would have to
go without their baseball this year or
journey to Portland and see some
games in the Eastern League.
