While the Springfield sporting writer
are filing columns daily in the papers G
that CITY with the alleged enthusiasm c
IS NORTHAMPTON and Holyoke to have team
in the Twin State league this season, it
difficult to find any here who are enthus
astic over having Holyolle take a place /
Ii the league at the expense OF any team tina
e was a member last season.
st There seems to be some doubt whethe
II Bellows Falls will weather the tinanci;
n situation the association there Is facing
y Not long ago the Bellows fallS entnuSlaS
lost Sc on a dance given for the purpo:
of reducing the debt Half OF this was T
gained last Saturday from a percentas
of moving picture performance, but
that rate Bellows Falls may not get OF
30 of debt in time to start a successful Sc
son.
Keene has been having trouble over Il
or leasing of the grounds to a new directo
V. ate. but this, it is rumored, will soon
81 cleared up and the fans in that city a
opposed to being told they must give up
franchise to admit Holyolle or any 9th
: place as a member of the league.
II Newport is as far away from Brattl
II boro and more expensive to get to tn;
II either Northampton OF Holyoke, and Ne
II port is planning to raise money by mea
II Of minstrel show to get out Of debt.
ii The annual league meeting is set
II early in March and the visit of t
II Northampton men tomorrow is for t
II purpose of discussing the league situate
II especially as to the possible makeup
IL the league. Whether others from 9th
II teams are to be here the local directc
II do not know.
