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.
