Their attention at next weeks meeting
It was agreed that such series of
games would increase the already great in
10 terest in the game in the two cities, and
the pennant or shi, d and the champion
ship would be an incentive TO the players
to perfect their work. resulting in bet
ter class of play and nearer approach to
the standard of the way the game should
be played than is apparent in the work of
some of the teams in the respective cities.
The great rivalry between the two cities
in all lines of sport amateur and profess
sional is well known. and a series such as
is suggested would draw out record
breaking crowds.

tive inter-city series from the Baltimore
end are Messrs. s. Leo CANINE, C. H. Cur
ley, IT.. and Roswell Jones.
