Neigh Leader: From DR.. Conwell,
who has been foremost in urging the
formation of base ball league in this
section, it is learned that it is likely
that a meeting will be held at Neigh
in short time for the purpose of per-
fecting such an organization. AS now
planned it will include the towns of
Atkinson, O'Neill, Clearwater, Neigh,
Oakdale, Tilden, and some other
towns. The general sentiment ex-
pressed by representatives of all these
towns favor the limitation of players
to local talent, and will prohibit the
importation of outside players for spe-
cial games. The lineup Of all the
teams will be made public, and may
include as many men as may be neces-
sary to meet any contingencies, but in
all cases the players must be selected
from the list. The rules, when they
are adopted, will cover this and other
points fully, and it is hoped the plans
when matured may result in populariz-
ing the games in all the towns, and at
the same time keep the league intact
until the close of the season.
