What about baseball league?
That is the question Iron county
fans. especially those in Iron River
and Stambaugh. are asking
Several suggestions have been made
but no concerted action has been taxi
en- toward the formation OF such an
organization. Some fans believe a
county league consisting OF STAN
baugh, Iron River. Crystal Falls and
Alpha would be a successful arrange
ment.
Others believe that the organization
should be a mixed team franchise and
should include either Norway or Mag
ara. Iron Mountain and the four above
named towns in Iron county.
Another arrangement as suggested
was to have teams representing Mag
ara, Iron Mountain, Crystal Falls.
Norway, Iron River, Florence and
Stambaugh in the proposed league.
That Iron county fans are anxious
for a league and that they will con-
tribute literally to the support OF the
different teams i'm the league. seems
to be the concensus OF opinion in Iron
River and Stambaugh The opening
OF the season is not so far distant that
meeting OF fans in the different
towns could not be called Immediately
to discuss the proposed league.
Iron River and Stambaugh fans will
probably take action within a couple
of weeks to determine whether or not
the demand for a league is genuine.
