DElLDN - FAlIl1S. April -.
Even if f. J. Fenton had caught the
train to Bellows Falls yesterday it is
probable that the feeling of doubt as to
Just what will happen in the Twin State
circuit this summer would have continued
as it has for the past few months. The
meeting of the directors of the league
was held in the Hotel Windham, as per
schedule, but the absence of a representa-
tive from Brattleboro, coupled with the
fact that northampton was not represent
ed and that j. H. Blakely, who represent
ed the local directors, could give no official
decision in regard to some of the matters
discussed, the meeting was hardly more
than an informal discussion of how things
stand.
This much was learned: Fleene Green
field and Newport intend to have baseball
this summer and 1t Is apparent that these
three associations will stick together dur
ing the pretty stormy weather that may
come within the next few weeks, although
a gale may make some difference in the
mutual regard which they now seem to
have for each other. Another thing IS
certain, and that is that Bellows Falls
will either have to come in out of the wet
within a short time or find itself eliminat-
ed from any sort of baseball this summer.
Voted for Six Clubs.

early informed those present that he had
withdrawn his withdrawal from the league
and was willing to play in a four or six

in the shape of Il league that viii serve t.

1t was believed that Brattleboro would be
represented BY = r. Fenton, but it was
later learned by telephone that he would
be unable to attend
The matter of the makeup of the league
was discussed and it was voted, as had
been done once before, to continue with d
six-cub league. 1t was also voted in the
meeting that no team should carry more
than u men and that players under the
national agreement on June l of this yeal
would be ineligible TO play in the league

in Brattleboro were such that detinit,
decision could not be made yesterday
This brought about discussion as t,
what would happen if Brattleboro refuse,
to play in a six-club league and insisted
on the elimination OF Newport and North
Eampton This brought on other discus
sions and the possibilities of other team
coming in were. gone into. The question
OF Bellows Falls and Brattleboro being on
of the league also was considered
