1t was arranged that Standing Master
Shepherd should begin June ? the
taking of testimony in the matter at
Wilmington, for the railways. Judge
Simonton had at first fixed June 18th
as the time limit for this on the side OF
the railways. Mr.. Price says the Judge
will extend the time; that this was al
ways the urpos three months having
been merely named at first. He said
further he had insisted on the hearing
| going On at Wilmington last month:
that the attorneys for the corporation
commission had asked for delay and
had made proposals for terms of COM
| promise; that the statements that the
| railways had asked such terms were
| inaccurate; that the railways had
waited for the commission to make
proposals, but the latter did not mate
rialize; hat they were tired of wait

provements

The initial games under the auspices
of the North Carolina Base Ball League
organized Tuesday night in Raleigh,
will be played or the Hilton Park d.a-
mond, this city, June Both, between
the Raleigh and Wilmington teams.
The news that the organization of
the league was assured was hailed
with delight by the people of this city,
who are especially fond of Al base
ball, such as the formation Of the
league assures. The. Wilmington Ath-
letic Association, by whom h Will
mington team will be managed, Will
have the Hilton park diamond put in
thorough condition at once, n the
games will be managed on strictly
business principles.
Now tina the league is assured and
Wilmington is to be part n parcel
with it, il will be of interest to refer
in a general way to the players who
will be connected with the Wilmington
team. Summersgill, of the University
of Virginia team, Wilcox, of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, and Swee-
ney, of this city, will pitch n play
field. Fenner, Of the A. n NJ. college,
will play first base and catch. He ar
rived in the city last night. Gwaltney
| will play first base and catch; Mallory,
| of the University of North Carolina,
will be second base and catch; Wills,
of the University of Virginia, first base
and third base; Woodland, of h Uni
versity of North Carolina, short stop;
Anderson, of Trinity college, third
base and short stop; Jones, of Will
mington, field; Morton, Of Wilmington.
field; Jackson, of Horner's school
second base and field, and Johnson, OF
the University Of North Carolina team
of 1895, third base and short stop.
Summersgill, who will pitch and play
field, has established a reputation fol
wonderful curves and speed and ex'
cellent work at the bat. He is conceded
to be the foremost college ball player
in the south.
Wilcox has made an excellent record
on the University of North Caroline
team for his work in the box and a!
the best hitter On the team.
Wills played last year part of the sea
son on the Louisville league team. H
has a batting average ranging aroun'
the 800 mark and a field average o
over 95 per cent.
Every man secured by the Whining
ton Athletic Association is fast am
all have made enviable regulations
And, too, they are all gentlemanly bal
players and very different from tn
average professional element.
AS noted above, Fenner arrived las
night and other members of the neV
team from a distance are expected t
arrive very soon, probably Sunday Q
Monday.
The base bail loving public of Wi
mington can we'll anticipate with per
feet confidence some first class game
when the league games are played.
