J. H. Farrell, Secretary of the National Association of Profess- sional Baseball Leagues since its organization in 1901, does not re- call any game player in a Class C. League which drew such a throng of paying customers, and it is not often that Class B. teams can show such a clicking of turnstiles. Springfield, with a population of 57,527, always has been one of the best drawing cities in the Western Association.
