were also a number of persons inter-
ested in the league. and a few players.
After the meeting had been called to
order, it was learned that there is
still some doubt as to just what towns
will be represented in the league next
summer, but indications are that there
will be no changes on the circuit. Mr.
Lewis said that he was there to rep
resent Putnam, and that that town
wanted a team, but the matter of sup
porting it would not be positively de-
cided until next Sunday, when the c.
