the fioor OF his big blue National and
under 1t was the accelerator. The

RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 2.--The CT
fort to reorganize the Eastern North
Carolina Baseball association met
with partial success at the meeting
OF representatives of a majority of
the cities invited to take part at
GoIdsboro.
With the exception of Raleigh, ali
the clubs, which formerly con-
stituted the East Carolina Ball
league are without any connection in
q baseball association this year, so far.
The Eastern league, which flourish
ed for several years, up to last year,
was made of teams in Raleigh, Will
mington, Fayetteville, Goldsboro,
Rocky Mount and Wilson.
New Bern or kinston has been pro-
posed to take the place of Raleigh in
the proposed new league, as Raleigh
is now In the new North Carolina
State Baseball association.
-Four cities were represented at the
meeting, Goldsboro, Fayetteville, New
Bern and Rocky Mount.
Clyde Eby. of New Bern was elect
ed chairman, and r. F. league, Sec
rotary.
There were two propositions ad-
vanced--the first named being favored
by three of the cities represented and
the second by only one city, namely,
Rocky Mount.
/. That a league of six teams. To-
Gated in as many cities, be organized,
with central association into which
all receipts of the league shall be
paid and from which all expenses OF
the league shall be paid. That a
sixty-game schedule be prepared; that
salary limit of $1,000 be adopted;
that the forfeit be fixed at $500.
The representatives of Goldsboro,
New Bern and Fayetteville concurred
his plan. AS the cities of Wilmington,
Wilson, Kinston and Washington
(which had been inyited) had no rep
resentatives present, the secretary was
instructed to correspond with inter-
ested persons in those cities and as
certain If any three Of them desire to
come into the proposed league under
this plan, and report TO a future meet
ing OF the association to be called by
the chairman.
2. Rocky Mounts representatives
stated that they We're not favorable
to the one year program. That they
preferred three years contract with
players. with the forfeiture made as
much as $1,000, and with the salary
limit extended to a larger amount
than that named in the first PROPOSE
ton. To this plan the other three
cities represented objected.
1t is not known whether Rocky
Mount will reconsider its position and
go into the league, IL formed under
the sixty-game plan. Should only two
of the other four cities invited accept
the proposition. there will be made a
strong effort to bring Rocky Mount

memorable 1,500-meters race at
Stockholm. The message reads:
