A dispatch from Wilmington says: Repre-
sentatives OF baseball clubs in Wilmington,
Dover Milford, Camden and Smyrna had u
meeting at Dover and formed what is to be
| known as the Delaware State League. An
organization was perfected, officers and um-
pircs elected for each city and town, and all
matters that will insure the working OF the
organization were satisfactorily arranged
with the exception of schedule, which will
be agreed upon shortly. The rules of the
American Association were adopted, and in
all probability the championship season will
open in about two weeks. All the above
named places have strong semi professional
clubs, as have also Senford and Middlctown,
which two latter contemplate joining the
league.

made in the Middle State League by which
some Of the clubs have been strengthened
