PROPOSE LEAGUE
OF FOUR. TEAMS
CITY BASEBALL
Need for More Sports in
Winter Brings Plan
for City Teams

In addition to having a strong team
to represent Ell Centre in the Imperial
Valley League, some of the local base
bail enthusiasts believe four club
citv league would be extremely popu-
lar during winter months and claim
are sufficient PLAYERS in the city-not
necessarily big leaguers-to form Il
league which would provide 4 good
brand Of baseball and give players and
fans a lot Of fun.
1t has been suggested that a league
composed of teams representingf the
American Legion, the bankers. Edgar
Brothers Company and the imperial
Valley Hardware Company could be
organized to play on Sundays when the
Fl Centre team is out of town and as
= preliminary to the Imperial Valley
League game when FL Centre is at
home With no other sports possible
in Ell Centre during the winter season,
baseball has ALWAYS been very popular
and home town league usually goes
strong with the fans.
It would probably be necessary to
spread some of the legion players
around IN Ihe othef teams, 1of most OF
the bah players in the city are ex-
service men and it would not do to
have \ top heavy team in the league
to make a runaway race
The idea of a four-club city league
was suggested by local baseball play
er and fan, who would like to have
the opinion Of other fans ON this sub
iect. The weather Is now cool enough
to start real playing and if anything
is TO be done on a city league, it should
be started right away.

Some interesting angles ON ballpark

maintains that both the Polo Grounds
and the new Yankee stadium are too
big for boxing.
"Where are the fights that will

Driscoll says.
Drawing power of boxing cards is
grossly overestimatcd and exaggerated.

"The Kilbane.B Burns featherweight
championship fight in jersey City in

made a record up to that time. The

for 10000, but that - an overestimated
