(By Larry

A movement is under way to
have Fairmont represented with a
first class independent baseball
team during the coming season,
one that will be able to take n
place In any league that may be
formed In West Virginia.
Frank Jacobs, according to the
present plans, is to be the manag-
er of the organization, and stock
Subscriptions are being sold at
the present time, with which It is
hoped to secure the funds needed
tofput the proposition over. Many
fans have Purchased stock.
We have had several letters
about the new baseball plan from
ardent fans and players, and they
sem to think that the new base
ball venture should be successful
and give Fairmont fans the class
OF baseball they desire.
Whether or not these persons
iiave correctly interpreted the de-
stres OF the Fairmont baseball
public remains TO be seen. The
..P. & Il, Co. two years ago in
better times than tho present
found 1t impossible to make u sue
cess Of their Independent team on
whose roster was to be found
some OF the best players In the
entire state.
There is only one way 10 an
sWer tho question and that is to
tryit out and see what the publlc's
view is. Tho public is tickle, es-
pecially the baseball public, so
whatSthey turned down two years
ago they may hug to their bosom
this season.
