Rensselaer Included in Plans For a Six Club League.

Neighboring towns are preparing to organize a six club baseball league and Rensselaer has been asked to join. The plan is to have Sunday games only, each club playing 24 games. The following is taken from the Brook Reporter: “It is understood that there is an era! agreement between Fowler, Oxford, Goodland, Morocco, Rensselaer and Brook to the effect that the six towns named are to form a baseball league, with a regular schedule of games, each town having grounds on which they can play Sunday ball. A number of the business men in all the towns have pledged their support to the teams with the understanding that they are to be all local players. This is the first time in years that the towns have gotten together in a sporting way, and with all local talent being used, should create a friendly rivalry between the teams and towns.”
