BY EDWARD P. E

AT the present time there Is nothing
do ng toward continuing the City
League that furnished the city with
good baseball last year. However, two
OF the managers Of last years teams, It
is said, are ready to put their shoulders
to the wheel to have it continued this
season. 1t is not unlikely that in the
near future something will be done so
as not to allow the league idea to die in
these parts. This organization had a
great a to do with the development
of the boys who will go into profess
sional company this year for the first
time. There are many boys on the lots
now who are buds and all hat Is
necessary to make them ready for
league ball is a good league, such as
Buffalo boasts of.
In order to get the best results, it is
proposed this year that the league be
run on strict business lines. First of all
those who desire the propagation of the
league feel that there ought to be a
salary limit fixed for teams, and strict
regulations fixed to govern the players.
A president and a board Of directors
that are not interested in any team in
the league should be chosen to guide
the teams, SO that there would be some
final authority to settle disputes that
might swamp the league, if conducted
under other conditions.
There will be more on this subject.
