NO BASEBALL IN CLEVELAND

Owner James Dunn Doesn't Believe in Near Major Leagues—Let Ama* teurs Have Field. Unless James C. Dunn, owner of the Cleveland American league club, has a change of heart there will be no more major league baseball in Cleveland next year. “I don’t know whflft my colleagues think about continuing next year, but If I must build up a team of schoolboys and old men I will not open my gates. I am not in favor of minor league baseball in a big league town. We had better let the amateurs have the field to themselves until the war is over, when the game will come back to its own,” Dunn said.
