LEAGUE BASEBALL
Bennington and North Adams Should
Act at Once.

If Bennington and North Adams
have the least idea OF securing league
baseball there is but one way of go
ing about it. A meeting of repro
sentatiyes of both towns at which
the project be thoroughly discussed
is the first step to be arranged.
Then If it is the opinion thai league
baseball is wanted the towns should
be represented at the league meet
ing to be held this month The peo-
pie Of Bennington and North Adams
should not feel that the Eastern AS
scciations is knocking at the doors
of those towns. Stamford and New
