League Team Probable.

From present indications Selma will again be represented in a baseball league. It is believed that before the baseball season begins the game will be revived professionally.
 The plan as outlined by several base ball men in Alabama and Mississippi Is to have Selma in a league that will virtually succeed the Delta League of Mississippi. which had a successful season last year. The prospective league will comprise Selma. Meridian, Jackson, Hattiesburg, Brookhaven and possibly Mobile. Last years Delta League circuit was: Yazoo City, Clarksda Brookhaven, Hattiesburg. Jackson and Canton. This year the Cotton States League may take in Yazoo City and Clarksdale, making an eight club league. and in that case it is high ly probable that the league compris- ing Selma will be formed.
 The prospective league is being talk ed of in this city and it is the con sensus of opinion tha tit would be a successful organization. Although it is not claimed that Selma could sup port a club in an association as strong as the Southern League, 1t is believed that the city would be one of the largest contributors to such a league as the one proposed.
 The sporting contingent of the city is not contented with amateur baseball played by Y. NJ. C. A. teams, and that element will exert every effort to consummate the proposed circuit.
