ISOLATION Last Night Was Marked
BY Harmonious Re-
lations.

There was no hint of separation be-
tween Barre and Montpelier base ball
interests at the annual meeting Of the
Intercity Athletic association held III
Miles hall in this city last evening, and
d joint board Of directors was chosen
To manage a hyphcnated team IN the
Northern league for the $50 stockholders
IN the two cities. There did come a
suggestion from the Barre end Of the
association, however, that the snccess
OF this years team depends upon the
efforts Of the directors to get the Barre
public acquainted with the players who
represent them. To this end, the qua-
teiing of the players in Barre for part
of the season was suggested. Montpelier
stockholders acquiesceC IN the recon-
mendation. and IL was left with the
directors to do SO if the plan is fea-
rible
The new board Of directors Is as fol-
lows; For Barre, Frank NJ. Brown, Don

iirst to Be chosen in the Northern league

first to get their affairs IN shape for

which may be sold this summer. Of
thc paid.in stock, Montpelier holds 7S
shares and Barre 60. showing that Mont

The sentiment of the meeting appear
ed to be that the association should run
less extravagant team ii possible, and
TO this end the matter of joining the na-
tional hase bah association was consid-
cred, but no recommendation was made
To the directors The Intercity team

privileged thereby to prevent the Jump.
ing of players and 10 sell players when
they are wanted by other members Of
the association. The matter Of joining
the national association viii come up
at the Northern league meeting In Bur-
linRton soon.
II. ". Kemp of Montpelier thought
the team should be run within the
means of the association. and that all
extravaganza should be cut out so that
the association would not be left in the
hole at the end OF another season. He
declared that Barre and Montpelier could
present as good a team, ii not better
than. as any city In the league.
William Wishart Of Barre said that
the enthusiasm Of Barre fans had been
on the wane for the reason that they
had no opportunity Of becoming per-
sonally acquainted with the players. He
declared that the success of the coming
season depends upon getting Barre en-.
thusiasts interested, for a great part Of
the patronage comes from Barre. He
LETT It with the directors TO devise some
means whereby that end should be
reached.
Then Director Frank. Brown of Barre
stated that the directors last year had
the same problem TO wrestle with, and
that the result will be the same this
year. He wanted the stockholders TO
decide the matter for the directors.
Director Greene Of Montpelier said
that he realized Barre's position and de-
clared that Montpelier would not be
sore if the team was quartered in Barre
this year. If it is possible he would
Ike TO sec the team in Barre for this
year. Mr. Kemp gave The same opinion.
declaring that be didn't care where the
team was kept, but that the directors
ought to decide. II was finally left
with the directors.
John 7. CalIaghan Of Barre thought
that more frequent meetings Of the
stockholders should be held. with pos
sibly d banquet, 80 that they might
become better acquainted with each 9th.

the expenses of the Tntercity associa,
