President Grotte o i State Circuit Says Capital City Will Remain in His Circuit Tearney's Club Owners Failed to Take Advantage of Extra Time Period Given Them by State League Directors to Ask for Link's Territory in Nebraska Loop, Says Grotte. “WAG.” 1 NCOl.N is still a member nf the .Ne braska State league. The Western was given until mid night, February 14, to file for the Din coin Jerritory, hilt according to Presi dent Dick Grotte has failed to take advantage of its option.

According to the rules of baseball, a league of higher classification can file for territory in a league of 'Small er classification between August and October of each year.

A league holding a meeting in the territory' of a league of smaller classification without first gaining the consent of that leagues president Is subject to $750 fine. "The State league directors are anxious to see Lincoln enter the Western league," Faid President Grotte, "and even went so far as to allow the Western utytil Feb. 14 to file for the territory hut when Tear ney and his club owners refused to take notice of the extra option the directors decided that Lincoln could remain in the State league this sea son.” * The money raised in Lincoln wa» to purchase the baseball park and not tbe franchise from the State league. Shares were sold to busi ness men of Lincoln to raise the J20.000 with which to purchase the playing field.
