Winnipeg Lacrosse team 1913 championship of win Inpeng. W. J. Finlay american baseball moguls Are casting their eyes towards Spinni Peg the Hub of the West and one of the Best baseball cities on. The an opening where i baseball can be put on. A paying. Basis. The wonderful support of the Winnipeg team in the North Ern league when nearly admissions pail the past season has started some the. Big Fellows across the line of talking and 31.s cussing ways and Means to get into t Winnipeg. At the meeting of the league Iii Minneapolis this week there was a proposition outlined to the assembled magnates for the purpose of a Down town in Winnipeg. With such a splendid attendance at a Park several Muzea from the Centre of the business Centre and with stands which Are the worst on the circuit it is believed by the cant Wilons of Minne Apolis that the securing of a. Park in Centre of the City make Winnipeg one of the Liest baseball cities on the con ent. The , who Are known All Over America in the baseball world Are so with the prospects in Winnipeg that it is learn on Good authority that they have offered to Back the Ven in this City if Given a share in the franchise but it is also Given out As a fact that the present own ers of the Winnipeg club declined with thanks the proffer of the additional Money for the building of a new Plant it is also said that the owners of the team have refused to consider an offer the holdings. However it is Learned that the Minneapolis magnates Are casting for another opening which looks very feasible. They Are seriously of securing the Lacrosse franchise and bringing it to St. Boniface where they build an up to Date Plant close to the Bridge which connects Winnipeg with the French town a schedule arranged so that Winnipeg fans would have. Contin Nous baseball. The american capitalists Are so favourably impressed with in Winni Peg that that St. Boniface would draw much larger attendance than the River Park enclosure and would make the Northern league stronger the cant Wilons no doubt have in View of some time setting a berth for Winnipeg in the american association and Are looking for an open ing Here so As to be ready when the time comes for Winnipeg to enter a faster league. There is no Doub but that the City would support american association Ball right now if Given a Park which would be More convenient for the business Man and. Run by some men. Who catered to the Public More than their own pocket. It is certainly remarkable when one of the conditions that the fans have had to endure at River Park this season the Strong manner in which the baseball team was supported. With a car service which has made it necessary for the most part of the summer to Start at least an hour before the time of a same in order to reach the Park in time to see the first inning and then to have to sit in a dirty old grandstand and watch the perform in a Field which was a regular pasture ground for most of the is what local was up against this summer. But still this City was the life of the league and very few teams left without taking away considerable Cash As the re sult of their stay Here. Then again1, the attendance could no doubt have been increased to Many More thousands had been better advertised. The fans were nearly always on the jump to find out1 the time a game so often was the time shifted and with no Means of finding out but from As Little or no Street advertising was carried we Ile the club Seldom used the Advertis ing column of the papers to inform its patrons of , depend ing chiefly on the Haws in the sporting column. Despite All these handicaps the sports of Winnipeg backed up the club and showed the management that there is a splendid Chance to make Money o it of the game Here if run on proper lines. The Northern league has truly been a sucks soul one next year should find it much stronger. The officials Are he Lookout for a place to put the Lacross e franchise and if the Minneapolis mag nates fail to go the of building a Park in St. Boniface it is most skely that fort William and port Chise which a Bull make another Strong Canadian place on the Cir cuit., in another season the article of baseball in the league will pm Over that played this year As the have been weeded out in the shape of manage Sand experience will have added its store of knowledge against the mistakes of the past. Perhaps few of the fans Here have noticed that Winnipeg possessed a couple of the a Cut twirlers in the league. The latest reports to hand show Zabel to be leading the league with Only one loss while old Nelson has done a lot of useful work with the splendid average of 17 wins for 6 losses and Little Boly is 1 right up with the big Fellows. Though Rube Schauer the wonder trom Superior who went to the big league was Given a lot of publicity for being a Star our own Nelson beat Mound by Al Nash ing up with a better percentage. Too much popularity spoiled the chances of two Winnipeg Ball play ers from jumping into major com Pany. Johnny to Clothier and Bud Moe wore billed to climb out of the Northern when too Many friends helped to Start them on a Down fall which they have never recovered from and which Means that they will probably be in again next year working for a Northern league salary. That Ball players Are human the same As anybody else was proven yesterday Evhen the members of the Winnipeg team expressed their regret at unfortunate illness of Pitcher Bolyn who was taken to the Hospital with acute appendicitis just when he was thinking of sharing in the proceeds of the Post season series with Winona. The local plasters at once started talking ways and Means of befriending their team mate and Are thinking of staging a Benefit game for the Little Pitcher Here next tuesday if the win Ona team can be enticed to Watt.
