Among the alleged conspirators against whom indictments were returned was S. s. . Schwarz the New York labor agent, who sent the man here.

SELMA HOPES ID GIT INTO 4 NEW LEAGUE Cities of Three States May
 Make Venture ALL SEEM TO BE FAVORABLE E Chattanooga, Rome, Knoxville, Hunts vile, Anniston and Selma, It Is
 Thought, Would Sup
 port Teams.
ALL SEEM TO BE FAV0RABL |

Selma. December G.-(Special.)-Ev since Selma enjoyed a part of the season of professional ball in the Southern league several years ago. there has been per sistent effort to have a good team here, but so far all efforts in this direction have been failures. the chief reason being that the people here would not support such team as would be necessary in order to again get into the Southern league, and that they would not be sat isfied with anything below the standard article now being delivered by that or ganization There have been several at tempts to place a team from this city in the Cotton States league, and 1t was thought that next season Selma would be represented in that aggregati tion, but a few weeks ago. this was seen to be forlorn hope. and il began to look ex- tremely likely there would be no ball here at all. unless some amateur organization was sent out into the field to compete with such towns as are in the immediate surrounding territory.
 Since the failure to get into the Cotton States league Lem Bailey, the well known baseball man, and a number of other lIleIuS ol the sport nave been Quletly planning to form another league to be composed of teams at Chattanooga. Rome, Huntsville, Anniston. Knoxville and Selma, and already parties in all of the above named cities have been interested in the movement. and it is believed that the new organization will be success from the start. T. II. Moffet of Rome, Ga, who is well known here in Selma having managed the famous old Romans, who gave the Selma InVncbles such a tussle several years ago, is looking after the interests of the new circuit in the cities above Annston and in Selma and Anniston the affairs of the organization will be managed by Lem Bailey. who will. in a few days. make personal ap- peal to the local fans for such support as they will agree to give the club. which 1t Is proposed to locate here.
 There has long been desire to have d good ball team here. and it looks at last as if Selma fans have tho opportunity that they have been looking for. Such a cir cult as it is proposed to establish would be compact one would be iustnable to establish, considering the patronage that would be necessary in order to provide the class of sport that is de- manded. and which il is proposed to fur nlsh. The name of the new league has not yet been determined upon.
