Hitherto doubt has been cast upon

 There Is Likelihood that Selma will this year be represented in what is now known as the Cotton States Base- ball League. According to advices re- ceived from private authoritative sources dissension is about . to break up the present circuit of that associa- tion and a reorganization Will bring this city into its ranks.
 The packers of baseball in this city are waiting on developments in the Mississippi association before definite action is taken, but already they have been in communication with persons interested in the Cotton States League and when the expected revolution comes the Selma men will be ready to step in and offer inducements that pos sibly only one or two other cities ip the proposed circuit can offer.
 If Selma is represented in the Cot ton States League under the new regime, 1t Is probable that King" Bailey will manage the local club. He Is not in 8 position to discuss the mat ter at this time but is believed to be considering the feasibility of accept ing the place if it is offered to him. There is little doubt but that he will be asked to manage the team if the organization comes about.
 The trouble in the Cotton States League is with the President, Wheat ley. and the principal objection comes from Vicksburg. For a long time the owners of the franchise in that city and the President of the Association at Greenville have been at daggers' points and the enmity became more marked in the pennant race last year when 1t appeared at the first that Vicksburg had such good chances to win.
 This year. in spite of the opposition at Vicksburg, Wheatley was reelected President. and the Mississippi metrop- oils is ready to withdraw and organize an opposition League that would mean the reorganization of the League. In fact 1t is said that Vicksburg is ready to do anything that will result in Wheatley's deposition.
 It is known that a representative of the Vicksburg club has been in Mobile and other places looking into the pos sibility of clubs that will be a part of the new Cotton States League. The same representative is expected in Selma any day and when he does come 1t Is believed that he will find condi- ttons here so favorable that his visit will result ultimately in the formation of the new League.
 There is discontent in the Cotton States League for more reasons than one. For the past two years they have talked of making it an eight club league. and if the reorganization takes place there is no doubt but that 1t will take advantage of the time to take in
