SPORTING NOTES
f nT UNI II- April 10 will baseball
xj fans of this section of Xew
Knsiand definitely know what Ian
1 ' N'eil or his colleagues in tho Eaat-t-i
n 'League intend doing this season.
Vhat the circuit will endeavor to go
through a seaun is a foregone con
'"I isioii. but will: what clubs this at-
tt mpt will be made is something that
i'.aa not been disclosed; noi will it be
iilsclosej for at leasi two weeks more.
The fact that Pittsfield and Hol
yoke, Mass., seek franchises is now
old anl It Is useless for any writer
to waste valuable newspaper space
'rylnr to Inform tha tir4 public
&tout tfca aampalfna balaf nada 1b
those cities to secure clubs. j
There are a hundred and one little
problems each of which will com- J
mand the strictest attention frotsi the
module. The big question, of course,
is the composition of the circuit, j
Personally, we believe it will include j
Provldenca. New Haven, Bridgeport, j
Hertford, Springfield and Pittsfield. j
.These cUies we mention only after :
spending more than a week Inter-
viewing President O'Keil and various
other moguls. What Dan would like
to do is an entirely different matter,
from what he can do The cltieai
named abern OA'S' support , a ball,
club. With .the other candidates sup
port Is questionable. !
Th faet moat be wuabnd that
it will take the magnate with a sood
bis bankroll to stand back of a ball
club this season. And this section of
the country. In particular, can not be
expected to make baseball pay thi3
year. Not enough o the boys will
be back and those who will be back
will be financially embarrassed. Then,
too. the public will never forget that
there were but few ball otayers who
worked in this section who went to
the front.
And so we say, it will take several
years in this State, at least, to edu
cate tho public to once again hit the
road leading to ball parks as It did In
tho good days of yesteryear.
