have teams in the league, while Irwin
Phillips is doubtful, with S. Hamil
Company almost certain to withdraw
Already the Hubinger Bros. team has
been admitted, according to the actor
of last evenings meeting, so thai
there is but one vacant berth.

increased interest will be taken il

to the head of the organization.
AS the season will not open unit

current at the present time. Mar

will do the twirling and that he ha
already qualified as an amateur. ]
Is difficult to obtain a line on th
dope regarding the teams, but it i
likely that the High School will y
pretty much the same as last seaso
except in the pitching department.
