rle nnsn nan clnh i Not.

The following from a special to the
Philadelphia Press explains our views Of
the base ball outlook wilmington will
have no club in the Middle States League
this season. The conclusion was arrived
at to night. and although IL is regretted
by the local projectors the inevitable
must be accepted. Those interested
tried every known means to raise a fund
of 81 600 upon which to establish club
and place it on basis, but their efforts
proved of no avail. The base ball ex-
fhusiasts expressed themselves as anxious
10 see team organized as part of the
Middle States League, but when ap-
preached to substantially aid the project
their ardor dampened.
The action Of the leagues official In
prolonging the schedule meeting until
Thursday in order to accommodate the
Wilmington projectors is appreciated by
the latter aud 1t was with reluctance that
they finally gave up the ghost" but
there was absolutely no other course to
pursue. ~~FA
The base ball patrons Of this city are
solely to blame for this turn Of affairs,
which means that what base ball VII.
mington will have this season will be
played by amateur teams alone. 1t seems
impossible to arouse the local admirers
from their lethargy, but they will recog-
nize later in the season what they have
missed by not aiding project that would
insure good games between clubs in a
league that will last throughout the
season.
The Middle States Leagues will hold
meeting on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock
at the Girard House, Philadelphia. IL is
expected that York and Lancaster will be
admitted. '."-
