nasehalI Next Year.

With several teams in the Cotton States League wabbly and looking about for purchasers of their fran chises. local baseball enthusiasts are discussing the advisability of buying a franchise and putting in a team for nsxt season.
 Monroe. in particular. is anxious to sell out and Meridian is reported to be open to an offer.
 At the same time. owing to the bad year just passed. the whole Cotton States League Is a shaky proposition. but as spring comes on the weak sup -porters generally take heart and get in the game again.
 It would be pity for Meridian to quit, the knowing ones say, because the city is the pivot of the league in gate receipts and its easy railway eommuni- cation with the other teams makes it . desirable member of the league, even though less support is shown in at tendance.
 Selma is good ball town and a dia- mcnd inside the race course at the fair grounds would cost but little. the grand stand and fence being already theres To put out team here would not be a costly matter and from all indications, if franchise is offered, and Meridian stays in. Selma will have bunch of athletes to admire next season e

 Whatever is decided at the meeting will be placed before the City Coun- oil. and an ordinance passed making it a law.
