BY SENI.PRO.

THE completion of the Manufac-
turers' League for the season of
1911 will take place at a meeting
to be held in the rooms of the Co os-
scum Friday night. To date but six
satisfactory teams have sent in their
applications, and thus the organization
will in all proba bility be a six-team
circuit this year. The teams that will
battle for honors are the J. e. Mer-
gotts, last years champions; the
Hyatts. which nine finished second in
1910; the Celluloids, the Hanson-Van
Wrinkles. the NJ. Straus Company and
Public Service Company.

the league last season. May 6 is the
date set for the opening games, which
will take place on the following
grounds: Electric ark Oval, Parkview
oval and probably Tiger Oval and

other matters of importance apper-
tanning to the organization at Friday
nights meeting, which Will probably
be the last before the season opens.
The strength of all the mines this sea-

gotts seem to be the favorites once
