PINE BLUFF TO
 BE IN LEAGUE Baseball Proposition Will Not DoWn-Other Cities
 Take to It. WHAT THEY THINK Many Sports Think Pine Bluff Ought To Be in Six Club
 Circuit.
WHAT THEY THINK

The proposed six-club baseball
 league to include this city has made a hit here, and also at Hot Springs.
 That these are not the only cities hoping for success to the new ven-
 ture is shown by the following ex-
 tracts from other dailies.
 That Texarkana will be represent ed in the proposed new baseball league to be formed of cities within this immediate territory now seems 1 to bye an assured fact. representa- tive of The TeXarkan an in' Shreve- port yesterday thoroughly discussed the matter with Harry Ehrlich. busi- ness manager of the former Shreve- port team in the Texas League and one of the leading promoters for a Shreveport team in the new league. Mr. Ehrlich states that something de- finite will be known within one week regard ng the proposed circuit. He thinks that the organization of league to be composed of such towns as Shreveport, Texarkana, Hot Springs Pine Bluff, Little Rock and Monroe La, for a siX-cIub circu t and Fort an eight-club league would be a sue eesa MT Ehrlich and other prom inent baseball men of this sect on are in communication and will meet shortly to formally organize. MT Ehrlich is in favor of Texarkana as is apparent from the following state ment:
 T am in favor of Texarkana in the proposed circu should it be formal 1y organized and will do all I can for Texarkana. The people of Shreveport are also desiro11s of having a berth landed in Texarkana.'
 M. G. Aidrich news and sporting editor of the Shreveport Times, stated yesterday that he would look after TeXarkana's end of the game should active steps be taken in Shreveport
 T would like to see Texarkana in the new league' stated MT Aldrich The people here want baseball tn summer, and I am informed by Mr Ehrlich that something definite is afoot. I don't think, however, that TeXarkana will have any trouble get ting a franchise.
 T received map of the proposed circuit from live Texarkana fan, Wilbur Burke, of the Cosmopol tan Hotel, showing the short distance be- tween the proposed cities in the new league. Mir. Burke's map shows that no jump would be more than ninety six miles, making very compact cir. cult. I will look after Texarkana's s interests in Shreveport and will do all I can for the city,
 Mr. Ehrlich stated yesterday that he would be in Texarkana early next week to discuss the baseball proposi- tion.-Texarkanian. : Leo R. Sacks we'll known newspa- per man of Texarkana, was in the city yesterday to attend the aviation meet. and while here held confer ence with several of the Shreveport baseball promoters W tn reference to the feasibility of the formation of new league taking in Shreveport, Tex arkana, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs and Fort Smith.
 MT. Sacks is very enthusiastic oyer the matter. He states that he under stands that Marshill would like to come into a league if the circuit was to be made up of more than six clubs. If Marshall wes admitted to the league Monroe would also have to come in in order to secure the eight clubs. Marshall is known to be a good baseball town, as the fans last season supported a splendid semi-profession- al team and the state that lhey would be glad to be given a chance in an organized league.-Shreveport
