Manager Harry M. Berry Is Here to Revive Local
 Baseball Interest.
MAY SELL FRANCHISE
Something Must Be Done Immediately Or Pine Bluff Will Be With.
 out Ball Team.

Harry Al Berry, manager of the Pine Bluff team in the AkansaN Baseball League, is in the city mak~ ing preparations for the coming sea- son, the league having been assured and the indications are bright for a most successful season. Manager Berry has reserved all oi the good ball tossers from the last years club and in addition has signed a batch of fast youngsters from the various east ern and northern leagues. He 's highly clated over the bright pros poets for league ball in this state the coming esason. but adds that there is doubt at the present time as to whether Pine Bluff will remain in the league or not.
 The Pine Bluff franchise is owned hy C. Strickland, of Little Rock, who took over the team last season and carried 1t through the 1908 schedule. MT. Strickland is desirious of local fans inanisesting some interest in the sport, and having received several 1lattcring offers from other towns and cities ill the state for the Pine Bluff franchise, he states that unless Pine BlufIians decide to take hold of the club he may sell to another town.
 Manager Berry will make a deter ,S sv,%o .,> el, national game in Pine Bluff The league officials are partial to Pine Bluff and want it to remain in the circuit because 1t is the largest city in the league and has proven one of the best baseball towns Manager Berry will probably arrange for q mass meeting of local fans .n the near future, at which President ". ". Hurst, of the State League; MA Strickland and other others interested in league affairs will be present.
 The season will open on April l9 and if something is done it must be done at once. There is no doubtine the fact that baseball team is a great advertisement for city the size Of Pine Bluff and generally the local ians favor league team again this year. Past experiences, however, are against the project because clubs in the past have proven 8 losing propo- sition financially. + is stated that MT. Strickland will sell the Pine Bluff franchise for $1,000.
