viii be Spirited.

Yesterday morning the representa-
tives of the North Carolina Baseball
League met and completed the organi-
zation of the league by electing as Vice
President, Maj. w H. Bernard, the edi-
tor of the Wilmington Star This was
done on motion of Raleigh.
The selection of Maj Bernard will
meet with unanimous approval through
out the league as he is an enthusiast
on the subject Of baseball and his ac-
ceptance of the position will lend
strength and influence to the league.
With Mr.. Sherwood Higgs, Of Raleigh,
as President, and Mr.. T. ]. Pence, of
Raleigh as Secretary and Treasurer the
new league has a most efficient and en-
thusiastic corps OF officials.
When the meeting adjourned Monday
night there was doubt as to the for
nation of the league. for the represen-
tative from Tarboro, Mr.. w. Stamps
Howard was uncertain as to whether
Tarboro could secure a team sufficiently
strong to warrant its remaining in the
league. Yesterday morning he tele-
graphed back from Tarboro that Tar
boro had secured the larger part Of the
Norfolk team and would be in thG<
league. This insures a strong fas;xao2sfb
| league, consisting of Rateigh, Whining
ton, Charlotte and Tarboro.. AS Tar
boro has kept some of it's former team
and some of~Norfolk's men are open to
engagements these will be secured by
the other teams that need them. Nor
risey, pitcher, may go to Wilmington
and Raleigh is after a man as a short
stop.
! The umpires for the new, league are to
be selected by President Higgs, and he
will probably take North Carolina men.
The game at Tarboro yesterday was
umpired by Mr.. Mace, of the old league,
while in Charlotte, two of the players
umpired.
Yesterday Mr.. Sherwood Higgs ten
dered his resignation as manager of the
Raleigh team, and also as a member Of
the executive committee Of the Raj
egh Athletic Association. He does this
in order to devote his time to the league
and not to the Raleigh Association. Mr..
w. A Linehan was chosen to succeed
/
Raleigh team and Mr.. ]. X. Marshall
was made member of the executive
committee in place of Mr.. E. H. Ander-
ton who will be out of the city for some
time.
The new league began work yesterday
and new per cent standing was be-
gun. AS Raleigh and Wilmington won
that gives each Of them 1000 per cent,
while Tarboro and Charlotte are in the
zero place.
kilograms received from Wilmington,
Charlotte and Tarboro indicate that the
new league is on a firm basis, and that
all of the towns are satisfied and pleased
with their teams.
