A REORGANIZATION OF
 COTTON STATES LEAGUE

Columbus, Miss, March 15.-(Spe- cial )-Local fans are sincerely. slao of the fact that Columbus has recent cred the Cotton States League: apd that they are to have professional ball again this season.
 Baseball in a small town Is an ex- pensive luxury. and after having tried the experiment. for two seasons the local directors found they could not keep up the pace, and at the annual meeting of the League directors neld in Jackson last December. President Walter Weaver, of the local assocta- ton, submitted a proposition proviu- ing that each club be restricted to four professional players, the remain der of the men being amateurs. rms proposition was not accepted, and Co., lumbus withdrew from the League.
 People shere had resigned themselves to going without baseball this season, President Merrill and Colonel Weaver had a conference over the long distance telephone, and as a result of this con- ference an agreement whereby Colum- bus remains in the League was reach ed. The agreement Is somewhat in the nature of a compromise. the num- Der of professionals on each eaW~be- ing limited to six instead of four as at first suggested by Colonel Weaver.
 The local franchise has already been transferred to Algiers. and by the terms of the agreement, Columbus se- cures the Biloxi franchise. together
 
 that team It is understood that Bi- loxi holds contracts with eighteen or twenty men. and out of this number President Weaver hopes to be able to secure a first class team.
 The League IS at present constituted consists Of Alexandria, Algiers, Column bus, Jackson. Meridian and Monroe. and the new formation finds two distinct and clearly defined divisions. which might be designated as the eastern and western districts, and the schedule will be arranged so as to minimize long jumps.
 The season will open April 22 and close Labor Day. September 9th. and opening games will be played as fol- lows: Meridian at Columbus, Monroe at Jackson, Algters at Alexandria. It will be impossible to play Sunday games at Algiers, as the contests would interfere with the Southern League schedule. and Monroe and Alexandris, being the only two Sunday towns in the League. will get the Fourth of July games. as that holiday comes on the Sabbath this year. Jackson. Meridian and Algiers get the double- header which are to be played on July 5th the time of these games being optional with the home team.
