BARRE, W., APRIL 80, 1901

There has been much favorable
comment from all corners Of Vermont
during the past winter and spring re-
garding the organization OF north
ern baseball league. OF course the
proposition is sure to meet with op-
position from many sources owing to
the apparent failure which such an
institution met with few years ago
in this state. But it does seem that
il it were properly managed and re-
ceived the patronage that was
accorded it before it must be a
success from a financial, as we'll
as from an amusement standpoint.
The Rutland News appears to be a
strong advocate Of the project as we'll
as the St. Albans Messenger and there
is no doubt but that Burlington would
be one of the foremost promoters.
the Rutland News covers the situa-
tion as follows: "All that needs to
be done is to find man or men of in
fuence and public spirit to start the
ball rolling and the rest will pretty
surely come. But this task is the
first set and the hardest of them all.
1t is generally known that Rutland
could easily have supported a team
last summer but for the fact that II a
team was played the opposing team
would have to come from such a dis
lance that the expense would be too
large. A review Of the situation
three summers ago demonstrates one
certain reason for the failure Of the
Vermont league and suggests point
which would apply in certain cases.
The certainty is there were too many
fancy salaries paid to men who were not
worth it and the reason which would
apply to some other places In the
state was that the management in
other particulars was loose. Rutland
in that lively baseball summer three
years ago did not 60 into the state
league which as it afterwards turned
out was wise, tor the local team out
lived the league and strengthened it's
nine with the best players OF the dis
banded teams and did not pay them
the salaries they had been getting,
either. But it is believed that con-
ditions would be different were the
league tried again. 1t seems ridicu-
lous that towns like Rutland, Burling.
ton, St. Adams, Barre, Montpelier, Bel
lows Fails and others connot afford
creditable baseball teams. A base
ball enthusiast wishes to suggest one
scheme through The Evening News:
Could it rot be possible to form an
Interstate league of dozen or SO
teams, taking for instance the Yer
mont towns, or others, mentioned
above and some towns outside the
state such as HinSdale and Keene, N.
H.? Could not league such as this
be run as is the national league, each
team instead Of going away for any
one game at a time making trip OF
several days or a week? Could not
such an arrangement with proper and
careful management be carried out
successfully with the support Of the
thousands of baseball enthusiasts in
Vermont?"
