siderable currency during the past few
days, but this positive denial has set
it at rest, and it now appears az II

championship arrangement will prob
ably be made, but whether In or out
Of q league cannot be figured out at
this time, There is some talk Of a
new league being formed in this SEQ
tion Of the country, to include some
Pennsylvania and New Jersey cities,
