Hickey's Circuit.
This has been the most successful
season in the history of the American
association, with the trunstiles show-
ing a paid attendance well over the
000,000 mark. So elated are President
Thomas J. Hickey and lus associates
that they are talking of “next year,”
when many ambitious plans will be
given a trial.
The principal reason for the elation
of the A. A. moguls is that they kept
their own counsel and decided to play
154 games, despite the advice of the
timid majors and other minor circuits,
As a result of their foresight In
seeing that the national pastime was
coming back strong after the war pe

able to stage 14 more games than the
bigger circuits, and the Income there
from was no small item.
Only two of the eight clubs in the
association will show a deficit for the
