JERSEY CITY MAY LOSE
BASEBALL FRANCHISE
JERSEY CITY, July 20.—Declaring
that they can not afford to,lose any
more money, James J. Lillis and Hugh
Msßreen, owners of the Jersey City
baseball club of the International
league, have announced that unless the
games at West Side park are more gen
erously patronized they will be obliged
to transfer the franchise to some other
city.
In a public statement issued yester
day. President Lillis said there would
be a game on Sunday to test the loy
alty of the local baseball enthusiasts.
Jersey City and Baltimore will be the
contesting teams.
The price of admission will be raised
from 25 to 50 cents, and the grand
stand seats will be 75 cents Instead of
50 cents.
The free list, including passes, will
be suspended. If the attendance Is not
up to the expectations of the owners,
it will be the last game played in Jer
sey City.
President Lillis says that only by the
increase of prices and an attendance
that will show a desire on the part of
the. local fans to patronize the game
“can Jersey City be continued on the
baseball map.”
It was learned that the Jersey City
team has made money only one year
since it was established.
James J. Lillis, a Jersey City lawyer,
bought the team two years ago ’from
the estate of the late Robert Davis.
Last year Hugh Meßreen, of Boston,
became part owner of the team.

VERGE OF BIG BREAK
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20—The
Billy Nolan-Abe Attell alliance appears
to be resting on the weakest kind of
a foundation. AVtell has been hinting
that he and Billy are no longer yoked.
He neglected to notify Nolan. Mean
while, Billy has been hustling to per
fect the details of the Attell-Murphy
battle, scheduled for August 3, and
"pointing" his man for a return match
with Johnny Kilbane.
“I took up Attell’s case at a time
when his popularity was rusted, his
title , gone and his prestige dented,”
says Nolan. “1 claim nothing from him
on the grounds of gratitude, as grati
tude appears to have no place in the
boxing game.
"My contract was to take Abe to the
mountains and get him into first-class
physical condition, after which 1 was
to land him in the ring with Kilbane
again. He will box. Murphy under my
direction and we will then get Kilbane.
After this Abe may act as he chooses.”
If Abe tries any sleight-of-hand stuff
with Nolan, though, look out for a
beautiful battle of wits between two
men who know the boxing game.

COTTON STATES LEAGUE
IN BAD FINANCIALLY
JACKSON, MISS.. July 20.—Bad
weather, lack of public interest and a
multiplicity of other causes is putting
a serious crimp in attendance at Cot
ton Slates league games, and managers
and directors ares itting up nights won
dering how they are going to meet pay
rolls on August 1.
Beyond any question of doubt, the
current season has been the most dan
gerous in the history of the league, and
unless Dame Fortune smiles more lav
ishly on the organization and pulls that
smile might quick. 1912 \\ill mark the
close of professional ball on this cir

The local association has not only
failed to make money, but all are ac
