 City.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, Aug. l9.
 The Selma base bah club. which for the past month has been affording the lovers of the game here much arnuse- ment, disbanded last night. and the few men on the pay roll of the club loft for their homes
 The most of the men who made up the club reside here. but as the busy sea- son is opening they VIII be unable to play ball any more this season. For that peason It was thought best that the club should be disbanded.
 The games which have been played at Riverside Park this summer have been well attended and they have revived the interest here in base ball. This interest will live through the winter and from now until the playing season opens next spring, Selma will make a strong effort to secure franchise in tho Cotton States League From the present outlook the prospects of Selma getting a franchise in that organiza- will no doubt be successful
 It Is thought by those here who make study of the game that the member ship of the Cotton States League next summer will be increased from six 10 eight clubs Besides this addition of two more clubs being added to the league, it is also believed that the per sonnet of that organization will other wise be changed some.
 Many here believe that next sea- son will see Mobile with franchise Tn the Southern League and that Selma will get the franchise of tho Gulf City in the Cotton States League This IS only surmise upon their part but that appears to be the talk in the pase ball world in the South.
 Besides the six cities which now com pose the Cotton States League, 1t is understood that there are six ofhei cities cIamoring| for admission into tha' 1 body. If Mobile continues in the League and 1t is not changed otherwise, ] leaves these six places to be drawn up on to select the two clubs which vii make the league an eight club 1T sanization. The six cites which are said to be seeking admission into thii | league are said to be. Monroe. Natchez laattiesburg, Jackson. Greenviile anS Selma.
 It Is thought that Selma will exper- fence no trouble in raising eufiicien sum to put this city in that league Int movement to get in the Cotton Statei 1 League was started some days ago bS two wealthy citizens who offered tt give S1, 900 towards it. There are man, other citizens equally as liberal whc will be willing to go into It. If . 1 franchise is secured new grounds VII | be built on the car line near Elkdalt Park upon which there will be bull
 large and commodious grand stant
 When the annual meeting of the Cot ton States League is held this winter and when very probably the league vii
 be reorganized, Selma will have a rep resentative at that meeting. Who thii representative will be Is not known
 but he will push selma's claim for 1 franchise in the organization.
