In a general way, the lines of big league base ball or- ganizations have been observed in the construction of this new It is not a tentative project in any way, but is designed to meet what is alleged to be a demand from the foot ball loving public in many cities. At the present time eleven middle western cities are included in the circuit and a glance over the holders of the various franchises will arouse interest. The list includes: Chicago, Chris O'Brien; ' Decatur, 111, Staley Manufacturing Co.; Cleve- land, James O'Dpnnell: Buffalo, Frank McNei William Marshall; Akron, Frank Neid and Arthur Ran- ney; Dayton, Triangle Association; Toledo, Roger Bresnahan and James ‘Thorne; Rock Island, 111, M. J. Flan- agan, and Hammond, Ind., Dr. Young. The teams will be as strong as money can make them. To this end, of course, graduates of various uni- versities and colleges who have won intercollegiate fame on the foot hall fleld will be purchased. In-point of fact, some have been purfhased.
