this city got together Sunday to dis
cuss the proposition for putting a
club into the Wisconsin State league,
and so much enthusiasm was shown
that there is every reason to believe

race with bells on. Fred Beebe, vet
eran w. l. and major league HEAVIER,
stated he had decided to take the Osh-
kosh franchise provided he could get
sufficient support from the fans and
he outlined plans for raising prelim-
mary fund by selling season tickets,
improving the diamond at the fair
grounds and organizing team to be
made up largely of local talent. He
said it was intended to carry only
three or four professional players on
each team, the others to be trained
from home products. He named Dr.
G. A. Gehbe, B. w. Arnold, Thomas
Brady, Frank Labudde and B. F.
Keefe as advisory directors and will
name committee of local clubs and
societies to confer with the directors.
