The league personnel was agreed on at
"A meeting on Saturday night of a special
committee consisting Of Lester r. Reeves,
Prince A. Mousley, Peter G. Madden and
Charles Welsh, which had been appointed
by the president of the league for that
purpose. Application for membership in
the league had been made by the Brown
son Library Association, y. NJ. c. A., the
Wilmington Gas Company and three other
clubs and after the committee had receiv-
ed the resignation Of Mr.. Welsh. repre-
senting last years Parkside team. thereby
reducing the league membership to three
clubs, the committee considered at some
length whether this years league should he
a five or six club organization. The
schedule arrangement seemed to oppose a
six club league and after the committee
had decided that such league would be

fans to-day 1t was felt in some quarters
that Brownson would have strengthened
the league and contributed much addition
al enthusiasm TO local league baseball this
season. but the league officials were
agreed on the point that a six club or
ganization was impracticable because Of
the lack OF playing grounds and IT, there
fore became toss-up between Brownson,
" NJ. C.. A. and the Gas Company club
representatives as to which two would
get in. y. NJ. c. a. and the Gas Company
won. and Brownson lost; that's all there
is TO that part OF the story.
The dupont. Riverview and New Castle
clubs are well-known to local fans be-
cause Of their participation in league ball
here last season. But in the Y. NJ C.. A.
and the Gas Company teams. the latter in
particular, fans will see much new ma

will he recruited from 15O-men now in the
employ OF the company, with Griffith. the
former Dover player as the head. Griffith
gives the assurance that his team will be
fast enough for dupont and II the gas
man Is as good as his word his admission
to the league will be justified.
Traynor. who has been representing the
Y NJ c. A. in its baseball negotiations
until this time, also promises that he will
! come strong. II is whispered that Lewis
last years Parkside pitcher. and Devin

other good baseball material including
Inderlied. to pick from. the association
membership. the v NJ. c. A.. ought TO 20
as fast as Traynor is predicting. In thi,
connection II can be said that more thar
the two former Parkslde players men
toned may be seen on the Y. NJ. c. A
team It was due to this disanection ol
the Parkside team players. perhaps. tha
prompted welsh's resignation from IN,
league.
All in all the new league gives promis,
Of being a stronger organization than Il
was last year
