If the southeastern league magazines
who wanted to organize last year, intend
to organize a league in 1897, they should
not put off the selection of a circuit and
the perfection of organization until
spring Let them get together as soon
as possible and get things in shipshape
for 1897. This will enable all the clubs
to select their managers and engage play
ers before the best material has been Gull
ed over. 1t is almost impossible for clubs
organizing in February or March to have
teams that will make any kind of a show.
Experience has shown this and the soon
err the preparation begins the better the
chance of success in 1897.

1T seems now that Jimmie Manning will
not be out of the game next year, but will

Frank Butler is still playing left field
for Columbus in the western league and
continues to put up fine game.
