through the summer the project has
been given up by the directors because
no teams could be found within a rca-
sonable distance to play as fast an ar

might have entered either the Millers
River league, composed of towns in
Massachusetts or the Interstate league
composed of Lebanon, Claremont, New
port, Woodstock and Randolph. The
salary limit in this league is $40 a
week and cannot be exceeded. Only
one game a week would be played. In
view of these circumstances and also
that neither Northampton nor Green
/ field have teams this year it was de-
! cided by the directors yesterday after
noon not to take a chance at putting in
a team here this year and losing a
goodlv sum of money. This leaves the
/ local field open to anyone who chooses
to put a team of local or professional
/ players on the field. However, the or
/ ganization will be kept alive and eff
forts will be made next winter to get
things started in time to have team
