MAINE BALL

The following is from the Portland
Sunday Times:
According to Clarence A. Williams,
treasurer of the Pine Tree Athletic
Association, the prospects look very
bright for the formation of a State
LAagie with Pine Tree in, and Mr..
Williams adds that he would not be
surprised if the league was formed the
last of the week
Il was down East the last part Of

situation with Times reporter last
night. land l was really surprised at
the enthusiasm of the people there.
There are 4 half dozen towns that are
just shouting for league bali and I
think they will get it.
Down in Bangor. it seerns as though
there is more baseball spirit there than
ever before and Happy lott is working
hard to form "a league. He has also
been around the State canvassing the
situation and says the prospects look
good to him. There is no question at
all about Bangor having baseball
team this year and they will go into
TIE league ball is there is one.
They want league ball in both
Houlton and Caribou and there is also
a great deal Of interest in Millinocket
and Old Town. The same can be said
of Rockland and Augusta.
'In Biddeford as in Bangor there is
no question about there being a team
and they are anxious to get into the
league. Biddeford is good baseball
town ana a good team will live there.
IF the league is formed it VIII be
one If either six or eight clubs For
myself. I would prefer an eight club
league. If Caribou and I,resque Isle are
represented it is likely that there will
DC one team which Will divide its
games between the two towns. Their

1t is true that these towns are a long
