Y., to get i a team and that he has eight clubs | signed up. What baseball fans cannot under stand Is why the newspapers in the towns mentioned by Lawson are not enthusiastic over the prospects of an outlaw baseball organization. So far everything that has been said about the Atlantic League has been saiel by Lawson himself.

They will not suffer any reduction this year. However, this will be the last season for record sal aries.
