block, combined with the fact that there
appears to be difficulty In getting things
on a working basis Several days ago a
meeting WAS scheduled TO be held at Colds
boro. Four of the teams in tho league were
represented at the noar-meetins. Neither
the president nor the vice-presdent put in
his appearance. however, and therefore the
representatives. separated wiser after
converting than they were at first.
IT is stated that Wilson has announced
fatty that the team there Will not play
baseball this season IL moro than ninety
games are to be played. At meeting OF
the directors sevoral wceks ago. when 1T
was hoped that all difficulties had been re-
moved, II was decided to have the playing
season consist OF I04 games. Wilson was
not represented at the meeting except by
proxy. but the agreement to play the mum
Der OF games mentioned was reached. The
worm seems to have turned now, however.
and unloss the other teams around the cir
cult agree TO rescind the former action and
to play only ninety games IT is more than
probable that big Nothing Doing VIII

While the Wilmington team would prefer
10 have the longer season, rather than sac

ninety games rather than none at all. 1t
is stated that the other teams around the
circuit twith an expression of opinion yet
unannounced BY Ralelgh) will favor short
enng the season TO the period demanded
By Wilson.
The Wilson management gives two rea-
sons for the determination to have the sea
limited to ninety games These are,
that the tobacco commences about
the middle of August and that people there
Will not support the game after that time.
The other reason is that II is believed in
Wilson that the longer season VIII cause
all the teams in the smaler towns TO lose
money.
The Wilmington management desires to
be shown about the baseball outloc!t and
@Ili probably request the president of the
league TO call meeting within the next
few days to have the question OF ito be

delay. Fans here are very hopeful that a

The question of the Senator's being in
court or represented by counsel would
then be patent.
The justice announced that his de-
cision made no attempt to dispose of
the merits of the case, but was merely
to hold that the court was acting with
