PRESIDENT OF LEAGUE OUT
LINES CONDITIONS UNDER
WHICH ORGANIZED BASEBALL
MAY KXIHT IN THE OU) K. Ir
A. G. LEAGUE.
Atlanta, On., March 7, 1916.
To the Fans or Thotnaivllle, Ga.
Whether or not the F. L. A. G.
league will be operated again this
season, depends entirely on the tana
In the eitlea comprising the league
last year or those of any new cities
that desire to enter.
Last season was a disastrous one
in a baseball way, not only in (he
smaller leagues, but even in the
majors. The F. A. G. league eitlea
were no harder hit than any others,
though this seemed to be the be
lief. Aside from about three cities
In Ihe major leagues, every baseball
city In the country lost money In
1915.
But with the settlement of t.ie
baseball war. and better business
'mi-s apparent, and more surface
indications of greater Interest In
.be national pastime, there Is no rea
son why 1916 should not be made a
banner season.
Gainesville Withdraws.
Gainesville, Fla., ha; withdrawn
Hum ihe league. Thomasville, Ga
sp i rendered her franchise. This
leaves Valdosta. Dothan, Waycross
end Brunswick still members of
Fitzger
ald and Bjginbridge prospective can
didates for a berth should the fans
of the league determine to organ
ize their league again this season.
I hold terrltprlal rights in Dothan,
Thomasville, Amerlcus, Brunswick,
Waycross, Valdosta and Gainesville,
and regardless of whether It Is the
F. L. A. G. league or any other
lea sue, none of these cities can par
ticipate In baseball, under the pro
tection of the National Association
without ray consent and upproral.
