INTENTION
TO OVERRIDE RULE
Keene Paper Treats Lightly Twin
State Agreement to Bar Certain
Players-Something Doing Likely.

If the attitude of the management of
the Keene baseball team is to be
guaged by the Cheshire Republican
there is no intention. on the part of the
management of that team to live up
to the agreement made at the league
meeting, by which only ball players
who not tied in any way to organ,
lied ball shall play in the Twin State
league. The two following articles APP
peared in the issue of yesterday, and
may reflect the attitude Of the direc-
tors Of the team If they do there
promises to be something doing at the
annual spring meeting to be held at
Bellows Falls March l.
An innocent little paragraph in
these columns telling that Joe Briggs
would like to play in a Bellows Falls
uniform this year, has caused great
excitement in Brattlehoro and may be
held responsible for the earthquake

Connecticut: valley recently. The wires

The Brattleboro Reformer asks in
al cand0r this question:
The Twin State league directors
last fall adopted rule prohibiting
any club in the circuit from using any
players under control in any way OF
any club in the national agreement
Whether this rule is TO be. strictly en-
