What City Must Do to Become Member of Central Association
Marshalltown Iowa February 13 The baseball situation in Marshalltown now centers on forming a local association. A meeting at the Marshalltown club rooms will elect officers and select delegates for the Central Association annual meeting in Burlington called by President M E Justice. Marshalltown must pay 1100 to secure a franchise and 600 by May 1 for league expenses. The new rules require each city to support its own team with gate receipts largely kept by the home club, plus a 50 fee per scheduled game. The old salary limit rules are easing, with 13 players allowed per club and severe penalties for violations easing.

Local Club Adopts Salary Cap and Attendance Hopes
The Central association enforces a fixed monthly salary limit of 1200 dollars for managers. Local clubs may field any number of players early in the season while aiming to replicate or exceed the 1904 Iowa league attendance, which stood near 35,000 in the city. Growth factors like town expansion, roads, automobiles, social spirit, and streetcar service are cited as boosting prospects. Analysts argue the upgrade to the Central association should not raise costs versus the 1904 plan. A large double-runner sled operates in Farming ton New Hampshire carrying up to 88 adults or 100 children down winter hills.
