 It is not likely that the Tennessee and Alabama baseball league will be enlarged to take in Anniston and Gadsden, because or the lateness of the season The present schedule is for eighteen games in each of the four towns, three in each town every week. This number Is required to pay the expenses of the individual clubs The ad- dition of the two other towns to the league would require the extension of the season by nearly three weeks or the reduc- tion of the number of games in each town therefore the league management does not favor having more towns admitted at present. Next year the season will begin early and the Tennessee and Alabama will be placed on level with the K. I. T. league
