v . Jv" ' CENTRAL'S START HINGES ON TERRE HAUTE'S ACTION Six Club Circuit, Including Richmond, Is Planned at League Meeting. JNDrANAPQUS. March -Whether the Central League is able to continue operations in a baseball way in this war-ridden year depends largely upon the actions of Terre Haute. If Rufus w. Gilbert can pwng enough money mio line to post the usual lor' felt of J2.000 for the Terre Haute club, which will shew that the club is in. a position to go on through the chances are the Central League will swing into action as a sixclub circuit. This was the sense of the league meeting, which was held at the Hotel Severiu on Sunday afternoon. Two of the Central League elubs have tossed the sponge into the ring and the circuit is unable to continue. Some changes may be made, however which will enable the league to get under way. Pefinlte action was not taken on a starting decision, this being put over until the next league session, which is scheduled for March 15. The meeting place wJU he decided upon later. Fort Wayne's ejub felt as if it didn't care to make the start this year. The Fort Wayne people didn't see any rosy outlook for the national pastime this season and for that reason have backed out. Dayton is out of it. The league )s holding the franchise. Bloomington After Franchise. Terre Haute and Bloomington both are after franchises, Bloomington ia!

ready and aching for the start, it ia said, and no doubts are being entertained regarding that club. Rufus OlU bert attended the meeting yesterday a! a representative of the new club at Terre Haute and is of the opinion that he can swing the deal. If Terre Haute makes the grade the league will most likely start with the following elubs: Terre Haute, Bloomington, Peoria, Evansvjlle, Springfield and Richmond. Grand Rapids and Mnskegou were not represented at yes. terday'a sessionNo action was taken regarding a schedule of the length of the playing season. President Stahlhefer called the meeting to order and the whole time was taken up in discussing the conditions of the various clubs and the changes that might be made in order to keep the league afloat. Rockford, 111., applied for a franchise, but it was not granted because the jumps would be too great with that city in the circuit. Will Arrange Short Jumps. With only six clubs in the league, the cities have to pair off in the schedule making, so that the jumps ill not be too big. For that reason the whole situation hangs on Terre Haute. If Terre Haute puts a club in the league, it will pair oft with Evansville and will form a compact loop. Without Terre Haute, EvansvlUe would have no city close to It, and for that reason would have to drop out. "It looks as if we wJU be able to make a start with six clubs." said President Stahlhefer, after the meeting had adjourned. "The whole thing hinges around Terre Haute, . however. If Terre Haute gets the ' backing to place a club in the league, we ought to be able to get going all right At any rate the whole thing will be thrashed out at a meeting on March 15." Those atteuding the meeting were President Stahlhefer, representing the Evansville and Pay ton clubs; Elmer Redelle of Springfield, John Ryan of Peoria, Elmer E- Eggemeyer of Richmond. Carl Vandagilt of Fort Wayne. J. J. Hackett of Bloomington and R. W. Gilbert of Terre Haute.
