Mt. Pleasant Will Again
Have League Baseball

“SEND IT TO A MASTER”
DECIDED AT MEETING HELD
ON WEDNESDAY
NIGHT
Mt. Pleasant will remain in the
East Texas League, and the peo-
ple of this section will again en-
joy some good baseball games on
the local diamond.
This was definitely decided
on at a meeting of the baseball
fans held at the City Hall Wed-
nesday night at 7 o’clock. There
was a good crowd of lovers oi
the sport present on this occa-
sion, and every man present
signed up for a substantial do-
nation, and all agreed to help
secure more donations from oth-
er people. A number of com-
mittees were then appointed to
solicit funds along certain
blocks of business houses, and
with 1he amount that has al-
ready been contributed, it is
thought that there will be an
ample amount raised to put the
team through the season.
The rookie rule whiich has a?-
ready been adopted by most of
the clubs, and will probably be
ratified at the meeting at Long-
view Sunday, requires that each
club must carry a certain num-
ber of inexperienced players, ^and
also limits the number of Class
A or higher clqss players to a
team. This rule will prove of
considerable saving in the mat-
ter of salaries and will enable
the small town teams to have an
equal show with the larger
towns. Tyler seems to be the
only town that objects to this
rule, and it will probably be en-
forced.
The meeting Wednesday night
elected the following officers
and directors:
Gus Hoffman, president.
C. L. Duncan, vice president
and secretary.
A. C. Hoffmann, C. L. Dun-
, can, W. A. Ford, Geo. Lilien-
| stern, W. A. Johnson, T. L. Den-
man and Woodrow Wilson, Dk
rectors.
We are glad* that the fans
are determined to have good
baseball here this year, as this
means that we will have a lively
town all summer, especially
when the players are on the
home grounds, as there will bo
large numbers of people come to
Mt. Pleasant from other towns
for no other purpose than to see
the games, but when they are
here they will stay awhile, and
will spend money for more
things than the ball games. The
advertising that Mt. Pleasant
will get from baseball is alone
worth all that it will cost the
city.

and Lamar counties also show
an increase, while all others
show a loss. The reason that
has been attributed for this con
dition is said by many to be be-
cause of the interest created in
the cotton contests in this sec-
tion, and also to the increased
average.
