At the meeting of those interested
in baseball last Wednesday evening
there was large attendance and much
interest was shown. The bylaws
prepared by the committee chosen for
the purpose were unanimously adopt
ed. A new plan is to be tried, which
will include active and associate mem
bers of the organization. Active
members will pay a membership fee
of 30 and have the management. The
associate members will pay mem
bership fee of 81, but will not have
the privilege of voting at the meet
ings. Most of those present we're in
favor of having fair, but no plans
were made for such ar event. The
paper for receiving names of active
members and subscriptions is in the
hands of F. G. Sanford at the First
National bank. Mr.. Sanford reports
very gratifying interest, and thinks
the association will undoubtedly start
the season with as such money as was
in the treasury last year. When the
list of members is completed an
other meeting will be held and direc-
tors and other officials chosen. W.
H. Hall was delegated to attend the
league meeting at Palmer last Satur-
day afternoon. At this meeting it
was decided that the new association
should be known as the Bi-State
league. James j. Griffin of Indian
Orchard resigned as president of
the league, and Charles L. Mason.
manager of the Orchard team, was
ed to have a six-club league. Mon
son, Stafford, Indian Orchard, Lud-
low, Chicopee Falls, with, in all
Ware, will make up the
list. The umpires will be secured by
the president of the league, N. P.
Dempsey, of Monson, and will be as
signed by him. The rules governing
the American and National leagues
will govern the Bi Estate league. The
schedule will be arranged by the
board of directors, which consists of
from each town. The
playing season will open May 19 and
close on Labor day. Provisions have
been made so that a club failing to
