 management found it necessary l. cancel the schedule as prepared fl D. the summer Some promising gam P were on the list and it is to be regre s. ted that the management find it il
 possible to continue the schedule. X. large percentage of the players tn g made the, lineup of the nine we
 hired men who were secured at mo s. or less expense. Guarantees con y. high for travelling teams of any pla
 ing ability, while minor expenditur s. were also exceptionally large. Unab s. to meet the pressure of continual
 growing expenses the club have foul e. it necessary to suspend the prese y. system Of baseball in Stafford. Amor
 the fans there is considerable talk ly retrenching and reOrganizing on Ia purely local basis. Although in - probability the team representa- e. Stafford will not be as fast as the O
 just disbanded it is within reas Z. that an interesting baseball tea e. playing games that will draw a go
 attendance, will take the field.
