DETROIT STARS
OUT or NEWLY
FORMED LEAGUE
Former Owners Re
fuses To Finance
Team in League

John Tenny Blount, former
owner Of the Detroit Stars, has
changed his mind about financing
the Detroit entry in the Negro
National League.
As a result Of the change, De-
troit will be without representa-
ton in organized baseball for the
first time since Blount put the
first tea mhere in 1919, imnae-
diately after the formation of the
league by the late RUDE Foster.
A baseball meeting was held in
Detroit last week, Gus Greenlee,
president Of the league; Gum
Posey, owner of the Homestead
Grays, and John Roesink attempt
ing to thrash out the local situa-
ton. Jim Taylor and Tom Wilson,
of indianapolis and Nashville, re-
spectively, were also there.
Agrees To Finance Team
After a prolonged conference
which terminated at four o'clock
Monday morning, Blount agreed
to place a team in the league
with Bingo DeMoss as manager.
He Immediately began making
preparations for bringing ball
players from their homes 10 begin
the short practice session before
the league season opened.
DeMoss, who was in Chicago.
rushed back to Detroit, arriving
here Tuesday. Shortly after his
arrival, he held a conference with
Blount in the latter's office.
Following the conference with
DeMoss, Blount held another con-
ference wetr Roesink. and it was
after this conference that Blount
announced that he would not fir
ance a team in the league.
With this announcement De
Moss returned to his home in Chr
cago where he is trying to secure
financial backing from John Big
Six" Smith, former noted Chicago
detective, who had stated that he
was willing TO finance the team
before the meeting last week.
Blount would not make any an
i nouncement concerning his refuq
If al TO finance tae team. His oni
N remarks was that there wei

right to use the name, there wa
possible chance of a suit being
filed if the season was a success
While Blount did not make the
statement, one close to him de-
clared that the park situation was
primarily the reason the former
magnate refused the team after
giving his word. Blount had been
given a percentage Of the conces-
sions by RoeSink, but according
TO this person, he was warned to
avoid any contracts on the park.

OverhangIng the narrow streets are
balconies edged with delicate iron

On Charities street stands the Ur-

Nearby is the Spanish Cabildo, built
after Louis XIV coded New Orleans

Charles III of Spain. In 1903 this old
town hall witnessed the amazing
transfer OF the Louisiana territory,
when within space of three weeks.
New Orleans was the possession. first
Of Spain, then France, and finally of
the United States. Later Lafayette
used the Cahlido as residence, and
today 1t houses the Louisiana State
museum.
Despite thirty years of Spanish
domination. the citizens remained es-
sentially French; and after Ma

formed an elaborate plot for his res

siere a retired sea captain, the clip
per ship Seraphln was built and
equipped for the venture, but three
days before she planned to sail. the
news of Napoleon's death put Il sud

Important as 1t Is In history, the
Vieux Care, Latin quarter of the
New world, occupies only few
blocks in the city, which now covers
more than 200 square miles. A few
