FANS Will BE ASKED
ITO BACK BALL TEAM
American Legion will Take Over Ac-
tive Management of Aggregation
If Support Is Assured.

Warren baseball fans and hackers
will be- asked, to stand behind a base
ball team with 81, 900 in subscriptions
or Warren will not be- represented on
the diamond this season. At a meet
ing OF the Commercial club last night
it was decided that $1,000 would be
necessary to put on good representative
aggregation in the field composed Of a
hired battery and possibly one or two
infielders together with local athletes.
According to plans laid at the meet
ing Of the Commercial club, the local
American Legion post will take care of
all OF the work connected with the
raising of the money, the management
OF the team and whatever may be nee
essary to put strong aggregation in
the field for Warren this summer. Sen
timent expressed at the meeting was
heartily in, favor of a baseball team
and the Immediate preparation for the
assembling of players for the season.
In accordance with the general senti-
ment the manager of the team will look
after the affairs of the team, the book
ing OF games and other items while a
secretary will be named to take entire
and sole charge of the funds that there
will be no unwarranted expenditures
or daslles beyond the financial bounds
of the organization. Two lists will be
circulated by a committee from the
American Legion, one to obtain cars for
the transportation of the players to
various. other towns for games, and the
other for subscriptions to the general
fund. With the assurance of trans
sfsft
the largest items of expense will be
eliminated.
There will be considerable expense
entai1al in putting team into the field
this summer as complete outfits for an
entire team will be necessary and also
considerable work on the bail park to
put it*iin shape for the season. 1t is
felt, however, with the initial expense
out of the way the team will be self
supporting for the remainder of the
seasons.
According to present plans of the
Legion, the baseball season in Warren
will be officially opened Il week from
Friday when aggregations representing
