The piece argues Houston faces tough odds to host a 1950 American League team. It notes Browne era doubts, a stagnant present, and forecasts a gulf coast population growth to about 700000-800000, with 800000 needed for viable operation. Past high attendance was 889, and rising travel costs from the Gulf Coast to Boston are cited as barriers.
