son City Asks Post. Season Series.

| With the withdrawal of Fort Dodge
from the'1eague, the Central associa-
ton today will close the 1917 season
| With the champions leading by mar
row margin today, It will be necessary
| for the champions to win from Fort
| Dodge or for Mason City to lose to
| Charles City, to insure Marshalltown'
! winning the second half of the split
season and undisputed championship
of the league.
At the recent league meeting at Wat
erloo the Fort Dodge directors ex-
pressed confidence that they could fin
ish the season, but owing to the slump
of the Dodgers in the last ten days.
attendance has likewise shown "a
| marked decline, and it has been found
impossible to continue further with
out solicitation of funds. This. it is
said. will be difficult owing to the lack
of interest.
Dodgers Make Poor Showing.
The situation at Fort Dodge has be-
come acute in the last few days. The
attendance up to the commencement OF
the late slump had been good and II
was confidently expected that the club
would experience no serious difficulty
in finishing the season. The Dodger
directors had authorized the manager
to secure new players. and with the
signing of men from the Three-I league
it was hoped that the Dodgers show
ing would be greatly improved. In
ternal dissension. however, all bur
wrecked the organization. and with the
players at cross purposes 1t seemed
impossible to win games. With the
club losing, and it being apparent that
the members were not working in har-
mony. the fans deserted. and the direc-
tors, who are said to be new and in
experienced. found it difficult to finance
the club.
Ford Would Make Transfer.
With the Fort Dodge directors an
nouncng late Monday that they would
retire from the league today. President
Ford at once apprised the management
Of other clubs of the situation and sug-
gested that he go out and secure an
other town to take the Fort Dodge club
for the remainder Of the season, if~the
other clubs thought such action adVls-
able. This suggestion however. did
not meet with approval, it is under
stood, and this morning notification OF
the closing of the season with todays
games was sent to all clubs
The Central association has wealth
cred the storm longer than most OF the
minor league organizations, and but
for the retirement Of Fort Dodge might
have gone thru the season.

league was to suspend. Mason City
