A. W. DALEY is MANAGER
Directors Meeting Last Evening Was
Most Enthusiasts and a
Winning Team Is
Looked For.

The directors Of the Intercity Athletic
association, at their meeting last even
ing, elected Arthur w. Daley Of s. AL
bans manager of the Northern league
base ball team which will represent
Barre and Montpelier this summer,
raised the selling price Of stock in the
association to $25, and did several other
matters Of minor Importance.
The meeting was held at the shop
Of one of the directors, ID. T. Donnelly,
at Montpelier, all the directors, Mr..
Donnelly, i. II. Greene and b. B. Bailey
Of Montpelier, and ID. w. Smith, Frank
Brown and w. H. Noonan Of this city.
being present; also the clerk of the as
soclation, Charles Wishart of this city.
The directors were very enthusiastic for
successful season, and believe that in
electing Daley they have made the best
possible choice under the circumstances.
There we're several applications FOR the
position, among them that of shea,
who attempted to umpire in the league
last summer. Shea thought he would
be a great benefit to the Intercity team
as he knew q hundred players whom lie
could get If he wanted. For references
he told the Intercity people to 20 to
Manager Whitney OF the Burlington
team. The directors knew Shea without
any references.
The idea Of player manager was also
considered fully, and three Of last years
team were mentioned. They were Shell
don, Morgan and Dorman. But after a
discussion the directors voted unanimous
iy for Daley, and he has been notified.
Manager Daley has kept in communica-
tioI with the most Of last years team
and several others besides. OF the old
team, it is thought that the desirable
men with possibly one exception can
be secured for this season. 1t ID said
that thB IfiteFeitys hayn III view d very
fast in1ield that will take no dirt from
any other team. The engaging Of play-
ers will be done as soon a. possible,
and by che time the season opens Barre
and Montpelier win undoubtedly have
stronger aggregation than Inst year.
Manager Daley will probably receive
the same salary as last year, which was
$3.50 The salary limit Of the players,
liked By the league viii have a tendency
to keep down the large expenses. Very
little work viii be required on the
grounds, except for scraping ard level
ling in some places The ground will
probably be subleaaed to school and
college teams this spring, and the use
will put the diamond in good shape for
the league season, Last night the direc-
tors voted to lease the park to Norwich
University for three games, at the lat
ter's suggestion Norwich wishes I'd
tackle Manhattan, the University of
Vermont and Boston University here. az
It's own field is not in good condition
and the chances for a crowd would be
better here.
No more Intercity stock will be sold
e par, SO those who already own shares
are N on the ground floor. Last evening
The directors raised the price five dol
ars, making It now SIS d share. Some
lime this week call will he issued
'or the second half Of the stock sub
'eribed at last year, only half Of the
'ntire amount having been paid In iii
hat time. This should bring 1880.
The association owes about $500 from
ast Years expenses. There are hints
il dividends this year.
The Intereitys will play more home
'ames this summer, and there will ha
% exhibition games. Ii Northern learla
cams meet on holiday the game will
