SOME RULES ARE
AGREED ON

At a largely attended meeting Of the
New Castle County Baseball League in
THE EVENING JOURNAL Office last
night rules were agreed upon and sched-
ule was adopted, opening the season on
May s. The home game will be between
Parksde and Riverview, at Riverview.
At the same time DUPONT will play at
New Castle It is proposed to make the
opening in each city notable occasion.
The enthusiasm that accompanied the
first suggestion of the organization Of a
county league has not abatcd and the
meeting last night afforded an interesting
display of the real love of baseball that
abounds among the fans and players in
the county II they are given hope of real
sport.
Some Of the more important rules adopt
ed provide that each team shall sign Is
men. the names TO be I'm June 1; that each
player shall be resident OF New Castle
county, that ten days notice of players
release must be given. and that each team
must give a bond OF 800 to insure its play
ing out the season
The rule requiring that each PLAYER shall
be a resident OF New Castle county in
sures local interest in the League. The
big teams that are given names OF cities
are not. truly representative Of the city.
and as a consequence interest falls. BY
requiring that every player shall be a
resident OF this county one Of the factors
that have commercialized baseball is OBJ
Waited The New Castle County Baseball
League will thus be, as its name indicates,
league truly representative of the coun-
ty, and each team will be as truely rep
resentative Of the town or organization
for which it is named
A number of meetings will be held un-
I'll the opening Of the season. and further
plans to make the league as strong as pos.
sible will be worked out. Following is the
