LEAGUES MAY
CLOSE GATES
Three-I President Asks Con.
temporaries to Close the
Season After July 4.

Chicago. June 16.-Thirteen minor
leagues In various parts of the coun-
try were in receipt of kilograms from
AL Tearney, president of the Three-I
league today urging that they discon-
tinue their respective schedules after
July 4.
The appeal, which was directed to
every organization Of Importance be-
low class A, read:
I'm view of war conditions and in
clement weather, July 4 has been sug-
gested as the proper date for minor
leagues to discontinue their seasons
with honor. It will be a great saving
to the clubs and an occasion for a
big demonstration. attracting enor-
nous crowds. which will assist the
clubs in defraying Indebtedness"
The financial collapse of the Alton
club and the unstable condition Of the
Bloomington club has led Tearney to
believe that his circuit will disband
rather than risk financial setbacks
with a six club league. The matter
was to be threshed out at a special
meeting Of the club owners here to-
day.
Tearney pointed out that two mi
nor leagues-the North Carolina and
the Virginia-already have tossed up
the sponge.
