THE LEAGUE ORGANIZED.
Savannah to Have Base Ball after
April 15-The New League.

April 15-The New League.
The Interstate Amateur League held an
enthusiastic meeting at the Screven House
last night. Augusta was represented by c.
c. Stub, Columbus by E. 4, Byington,
Savannah by w. P Bailey and Macon by
E. L. Brown, OF this city. These four
cities will compose the league, and will ad-
nit Jacksonville and Atlanta on applica-
ton.
W. P. Bailey, President of the Savannah
Club, was elected President of the league.
The season will open April 10 at Savannah.
The Schedule Committee will report by
April 10.
The admission fee to the league was made
$50 for each club, the total fund to be given
to the club winning the greatest number of
games during the season. This will in itself
be an object for the clubs to play out the
season. 1t was proposed that this fund be
divided among the players of the club win
ming the pennant.
A G. Spalding G. Bro, of Chicago and
New York, have offered trophy to the
winning club to be known as the "Spalding
trophy"
The league adopted the Spalding bali and
will use no other in the games. The players
of each club must be strictly amateurs, and
shall have been residents of their respective
cities for one year or more. In place of
guarantee to visiting clubs each club will
divide the gross gate receipts The UNI
pires are to be appointed in each city where
games are played thus saving the expense
of salaried umpires.
Manager Brown, of the Savannahs, has
written 70 Jacksonville to arrange games
here and in that city before the season
opens. The Ball Park here is now being
put in fine order. A new grand stand and
open seats will be built next week The
diamond will be worked over, and the park
will be made as comfortable as any in the
South. The committee which is canvassing
for the club hopes that the citizens will
give home talent an encouraging start

A shipment of Savannah cabbages, peas
and lettuce will so by the New York
steamer to-day. The shipments of peas are
light at present, as the first shipment was
made this week, but the rains have been re-
freshing to the truck gardens and will be
especially good for peas, which will fill out
better.
The prospects are that within week or
ten days the shipments of peas will be very
heavy. Potatoes are looking exceedingly
well, and have been revivitied by the recent
rains. The acreage is very large. Early
potatoes command ready sale at good
prices, and it is believed that no further
danger from cold need be apprehended.

The Misunderstanding teachers are all
from the Worcester (Mass.) Polytechnic
Institute, which has II reputation second

The instruction in all the schools is
both class and individual. Working
drawings are placed upon the black
boards. and the scholars are required to
work from them. The question is often
asked. " What is done with the articles
made in the shop" OF course many of
them serve their purpose in giving prac-
ticc to the makers. As proficiency and
skill are required, however, articles for
use in the shops and in the schools are
made. and II double purpose thus at

The boys like the work, as II rule, and

not allowed to withdraw without good

Not the least important advantage to
be derived from manual training is the
assistance which it gives the boys in
choosing life occupation. Many boy,
after a few lessons, develops taste for
mechanical work hitherto unsupported.
Not few who are somewhat dull scholars
completely eclipse their competitors in
hand-work, while some ordinarily smart
boys display little or no comprehension
of mechanical things and yet they are
the ones in most need of this instruction
