The deal became known and the conference in which the team plays slapped a $3,500 fine on the school. So, the total cost of this one player was $7,000.

Murphy. "We guarantee to take full responsibility for improving the Bears' attendance. We ask the international League to leave the Newark team here ior one more year, and if we don't come through on our promises, then move out." Carroll said was impressed with the proposals ot the commission and indicated he would make a favorable report to the Yankees, adding that he doubted if "the organization I represent would take any action over the protests of those it has In charge here.

Shaughnessy also told the commission he was gratiiied witn its action, and that he was certain the problems which have been hurting attendance could be ironed out. The main complaints put I A have been the odors of the adjoining dumps and the lack of transportation.
