Last week a number OF owners
OF Negro American league teams
met in Chicago, and after a confer

they were involved. This plan
failed when Taylor was denied d
franchise in either league.

split a purse OF $4,000 for theil
two games here last August, while
the Monarchs and American Giant
divided better than $4,000, the
Monarchs getting the larger sic,

he should be allowed TO promote
