COLUMBUS MAY QUIT FATE OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL. IN
 BALANCE. Directors of Cotton States League Have So Far Failed to Act on ResOIu-
 tiOn Presented at Last
 Meeting.

Columbus. Miss, Jan. 1s.-(special J. The. fate of professional baseball in colum- bus during the coming season stiu hangs in the balance.
 At the annual. meeting of the directors of the Cotton States League held In jack son. last December. Colonel Walter Weaver. president of the local association, introduc- ed q resolution providing that each club be restricted to five professional players, the teams being filled out with amateurs No official action taken on the resolu- tioh during the progress of the meeting the directors having promised to take the mat ter under consideration, and submit their votes by mail This has never been done. and Colonel Weaver declares that uniess the resolution is voted on and adopted Columbus will be forced to withdraw from the league.
 Colonel Weaver gives his reason for taking this stand that the population of Columbus is not large enough to support sn all-profsssional team, and that rather than smbarrass the league by throwing up the sponge after the season has opened, he prefers to withdraw right now.
 During the two years that Columbus has had professional ball, the game has been played at a loss and this has fallen upon half a score of men who have guaranteed overdrafts at the local banks These gen. tiemen are neither able willing to put up money continuously from year to year in order that the game may be played here, Aand unless some plan by which expenses &n be reduced is adopted, Colonel Weaver arR his fellow directors think 1t best to 1yfthdraW- from the league.
