Lillis, owner of the Jersey City club ead the owners of the Itrovidence club have also come forward with declaration that they are willing to sell their clubs if they get their price shows that they are in a bad way for money. Lillis wants $30,000 for the Jersey City club and has asked Frank Mihlen, the Newark cycle racing promoter, to take it off his hands at that price. Mihlen told Lillis that he doesn’t want the club himself, but 1s trying to get some of his friends to buy the controlling stock. Timothy Crowley of Boston, who owns the controlling stock in the Providence club, sets his price at $35,000, Eddie Barrow, President of the East- ern League, who supplanted P. T.
