PUTNAM
BAY STATE TOWNS
Do Not Favor Plan of Strictly Home
PLAYERS for League.

Massachusetts towns interested have
not taken kindly to the demand of
Manager Cordier and the Putnam play
ers that all teams in the new inter-
state basketball league be composed
of home players only. The opposition
il; said to be chiefly on the ground that
it would be impossible to conduct a
team in some of the proposed league
towns on that basis. Millbury, Oxford,
Webster and Southbridge are all
against the home players plan, and
each of these towns figures on securing
out of town players. MilIbury Will use
practically the same lineup as last
year, but four of the players do not
live in that town. Manager Taft of
oxford says he cannot get along with
out outside players, and Manager
White of Webster is sure that he will
be obliged to go elsewhere than that
town to get together such a team as he
wants in the league. Manager Pelo-
quin of Southbridge also wants fmen
from out of town.
Danielson has not been heard from
On the subject, but it Is probable would
stand with Putnam. From recent de-
velopments there is reason to believe
that when the playing schedule is
started twill be by an all Massachu-
sets league. Danie1son promoters can.
not get any suitable hall in which to
play, as all desired are unavailable,
and Putnam will insist on the home
PLAYERS proposition.
To replace Putnam and Danielson
in the league circuit if they fail to
start Clinton and Marlboro have been

are nevertheless obliged to renew their
licenses. and applications for the same
are being prepared for the county COM
missioners. 1t is not probable that
there will be many, if any, changes
this year either in the number or pro-
which there are 81, exclusive of drug
stores. at present. Putnam has never
teen a no-license town since the one
license to every 500 of population law
went into effect, SO the number of
places is in excess of what it would
here.
