Stimulation of interest in baseball is_the alm of the Ban Johnson amateur league, which is being ex- tended to what its backers hope will be mational scope. Retired major leaguers who live in Kansas City willingly joined the cause, and now each of the six clubs operating here has a smart baszball man at the helm. Among them are Ad Brennan, former Philadelphia Nationals couth-paw, and Charles (Kid) Nic- . How 1t Started The idea was fostered by Frank Goodman, whose principal ambi-: tion—to be a great ball player—was thwarted by the necessitiy of earn- ing a living as a newspaper artist. Now that he's established, Good- man finds expression for his frus- trated. ambition in helping young baseball hopefuls. For several years | the artist was a crack pitcher and shortstop on amateur clubs. ‘Goodman and Joe Dynan, co- founder and president of the leagu: decided that the age limit should be 21; if 4 player hasn't shown suf- fieient promise by that time, he is considered to have had enough of a trial and is dropped. Crowds Interested and the ‘croWds are sometimes of to days. ‘While the Council was in session, j were made for thes coming municipal election to be The following offi-{f cials were elected by the Council to preside over the election: Judges—W.
