Meeting Held "wednesday.
At meeting of the association hello
at the Commercial Club rooms last
Wednesday the possibilities of d 1921
team was discussed. Practically ali
present were in favor of getting an all
Isalaried aggregation but the ways and
means -of financing such team was
cause for considerable discussion,
Finally it was decided to have com.
mittee named to canvass the city to
raise sufficient funds to place a COCO
team in the field. Several othei
financial schemes were introduced and
many of them will be followed out
during the course of the season and
there is little doubt but that the 1922.
season will prove success financially
and otherwise. One of the troubles
which will not have to be met is that
of fixing up the grounds and PURCHASING
new suits This caused an outlay Of
close to $500 last year and consequent
sly will leave so much more to cover
other expenses. !,
Sunday and Midweek Games.
The association plans to have the
team play at least two games week.
There will be a Sunday game, and
most Of these games are to be played
on the home diamond. Midweek
games will also be arranged. It is
expected some fortysfve games will
be scheduled for the team during the
season.
Good Players in Sight.
The association is already in core
spondence with several players and
they are anxious to get them signed up
as soon as possible. Several stars are
already in sight and as several of the
