WITHDRAWN FROM The LEAGUE.
The Wilmington Base Ball Club VIII
Not Continue In the League.

The Wilmington Base Ball Club win
Not Continue In the League.
As announced in these columns last
Saturday, the foundations Of the Middle
States League seemed shaky. according
to Manager Foster. The Wilmington
Base Ball Club has withdrawn from the
league and its position in the future is
uncertain.
A meeting of the stockholders was held
last evening and they formally decided
to draw out. 1t has been question with
the hacker as to the success of the Middle
States organization, and although they
have sunk money into Ii, they
thought wise to leave before
they would incur preater
loss. The expenses of travelling the dis
tances necessary would eat uo all the
profits, and in this city it would be
necessary for the club to have 500
spectators at each game to pay expenses.
taking last year as basis, that number
could not be relied upon.
Conseq uently the action, as above.
Whether the club will remain as last
season or disband entirely is not decided.
All the players signed will be released
Mr.. Foster lost money on the club last
year, and the prospects now are little
brighter than then
The withdrawal of the Wilmington
Club would seem to doom us to poor base
ball this season, but the hour is early
yet, and perhaps before the season opens
something will turn up. The Ameri-
Gus, South Side Grays, Wawasets,
County Democracy, West End, colored,
and other almost as good teams are com
ing up for the season and Wilmington
will doubtless have plenty of base ball
of its kind Nevertheless the causes
that led to the Wilmington Clubs action
are to be regretted
