This was decided last night at a meeting of the Bismarck committee, with Leonard C. McMahan represent- ing the Mandan committee at the session. As the meeting is called primarily to find out to just what extent Bis- marck and Mandan baseball players will co-operate to make the proposed plan successful, all adults who are in- terested in playing on the proposed twin city team, both from Bismarck and Mandan, are invited and urged to attend the conference. ‘Where in Mandan the meeting will be held and at what time next Tues- day will be announced in the near future, the committeemen promise. Players Ride to Mandan Bismarck baseball players will gather at the Association of Com- merce rooms and be taken to Mandan in automobiles for the meeting. A skeleton of the tentative plan now under consideration is this: Two or three salaried players, preferably topnotch collegiate performers, in- cluding a pitcher and catcher, will be brought here as a foundation around which to build the clud. All other positions will be taken by the best players among the amateurs in the two cities. A good part of the duties of these salaried players will be to supervise junior baseball under the American Legion junior system. No scheme of raising money for financ- ing the plan has yet been adopted, though several proposals have been considered. One of the salaried :nen will be manager of the club. mittees which have atthe up a proposed plan, before gi any fur- ther, desire to find out just how the idea strikes the baseball players of the two cities and how many will play on the club if the plan is adopt- ed. ‘This is the sole reason for next y's players may be begun “with a clear field ahead.” Only baseball players are invited to the Mandan session because it probably would become too unwieldly if the baseball fans were asked to attend, it is explained. At the bottom of the proposed plan is the desire to give junior baseball @ “good sendoff,” sentiment at last night’s meeting indicated. Members of the Bismarck committee went on record as favoring an arrangement which would entitle the junior base- ball systems in the two cities 10 per cent of the gross income of the twin city adult-juntor system, or as great a part of the 10 per cent as would be needed. Under this scheme, money ob- tained by both the junior teams and adult club will go into a general fund. If the junior systems do not require the whole 10 per cent, a stipulation provides, that part of the allowance which is not needed will revert to the general fund. Members of the com- mittee point out that the junior sys- tem will draw good crowds and in case of doubleheaders, with both junior and adult games on the pro- grams, gate receipts should be swelled at least 10 per cent because of inter- est in the “kids.” Larson Is Chairman John A.
