Ii looks as il the hopes entertained
by the Aynchburg. Danviile and Roa-
noke clubs OF joining hands with three
Carolina towns for an Interstate
league are about to be nipped In
the bud. The Carolina clubs do not
want to mix UP with the cast -uffs OF
the Virginia League, and the chances
are that II Danxille and Roanoke are
nusted they will have hard time
getting footing in any circuit
The scheme Ia said TO have origi-
mated In I4ynchburg. and that IL has
been favorabiy considered BY the Dam
willie and Roanoke clubs While some
OF the Carolina clubs may favor the
proposition, it Is not favored by 9TH
ers. and this will cause trouble. Tn
less they are taken in tremendously

l.. j. Brant president OF the Greens-
horo club. and probably the biggest
baseball man In North Carolina, was
in Richmond for several days last
week and talked freely concerning the
matter lie gave the impression that
there Is not much chance for tho cast
on clubs OF the Virginia League to
land circuit with any OF the clubs
of the Carolina League.
Have Other Plans.
AN effort Is on foot and is being
agitated from Wilmington said Mir.
Hrant, for the organization OF an alt
state baseball league. TO encompass
u wide circuit. composed OF Charlotte,
Greensboro, Winston, Durham, RAJ
leigh and Wilmington. ! have receiy-
ed letter outlining the proposition.
hut no action has Yet been taken
regarding the matter" he continued.
Discussing the merits Of such league.
- tz.&a
"a. from the Wilmington Basel As
scciatfon, says.
We believe such AN organization
will prove exceedingly interesting. ana
viii doubtless by lar be the best cir
Gait that can be formed in either OF
the Garulinas. We nave practically
supported the Eastern Carolina
League, also having taiI-end team
the first OF the season, yet our at
tendance has been exceedingly good.
We are through with the Eastern
Carolina League. 1t Is too small u
proposition Tor a town of this size
to enter, from the simple fact that
there IL but little enthusiasm among
our citizens. as We are in district
where there are SO many small towns.
We shall be giaa to hear fram you
giving your views relative to the for
matien OF such a league. and we will
be glad to have a meeting at no dis
tant date OF representatives OF the
cities above named.
This makes the third proposition
since the closing Of the Carolina
season which would affect the cluos
nov composing that league said Mr..
arant. The suggestion Was first
made that an exclusive North Care
lima League he formed composed OF
Durham. Greensboro. Winston, Salts
bury and Charlotte and one other
town, No conclusive action has been
taken in regard TO this proposition,
although II WAS considered rather
seriously by the parties interested.
The proposition WAS met by a
counter proposition that To organize
such = league would be unfair TO the
South Carolina towns Since the re-
port has been given out that Ander-
son will not again support the Caro-
lira League, IL would seem that there
other South Carolina towns To the
action that might be taken with
reference 10 this organization of the
league proposed
Another proposition has been
made" said Air. Rrant, to the effect
that Virginia Carolina league be
formed, the towns closest BY means
Of railway facilities 10 the border line
between ~ Two States to participate
and compose this league. 1t 10 UNDER
stood that the Virginia League II like
W to drop Danville and possibly Roa-
noke and I&ynchburg. With these
three towns and three North Caro-
lima towns. including Greensboro. the
Virginia Carolina League has been
proposed.
This proposition would be good
