couragcd because the Sacramento fans
have failed this season to support the
local ball team, undisputed occupants
of the cellar of the Pacific Coast
League. Lewis Moreing. owner of the
Senators, has announced that the club
is on the market. In announcing his
determination to sell his entry in the
1926 Coast League race, Mr.. Moreing
declared that Sacramento will not
support a ball team."
Attendance at the games has been
very light since the Senators returned
from their last road trip, in which
they lost twenty out of twenty-one
games.
In the last two or three years there
have been a number of instances when
rcLorts were circulated that The local
franchise was to be disposed Of by
Moreing. but the president of the club
says he is in earnest this time, prOvid-
ing the right proposition is offered.
Morcing did not make public the
amount he wants for the local fran
