MYTHICAL LEAGUE

The City Baseball League seems TO

through several games and making an
EFFORT to arouse the interest Of the fans
in a city league the leaders have be-
come somewhat discouraged. How.
ever. there is still enough hope left to
serve as the foundation for the or.
ganization OF league and the arrange
ment of a schedule.
1t has been suggested that the
trouble was the lack Of organization
and definite purpose. A meeting Of
those most interested in giving Hat

be called this week, when a city league
will be organized. president and a
secretary elected. schedule arranged
and other details planned,
If the league is formed someone will
be called upon to offer a pennant for
the champion team Of the season. 1t
Is also likely that a small admission
will be charged to defray the expenses
Of the games.
There is an abundance of material
In Hattiesburg for forming at least
four teams. which would make it pos
aihIa tn have two fast games each
week.
Two of the teams in the mythical
city league will play at Hamper park
Tuesday afternoon.
